Love Grows Here Pillow

Your friend grows plants. That’s part of their personality. But, they can also grow love.

I know. That sounds corny. But, it gives you a good gift: this super cute “love grows here” pillow with a flower-filled vase on it.

Honestly, everybody could use more pillows. So this gift is super practical and adorable. It’s a great gift … even if it is a little corny.

Plant-A-Pet Kits

When my cousin was little, she really wanted a Chia Pet for Christmas. Those ’90s television commercials were really catchy.

This Plant-A-Pet kit is similar to a Chia Pet except it’s way cuter than those terra cotta planters the Chia Pet brand is known for.

This version is geared more towards kids. The planters are all colorful animals that come with stickers too, so your kid can decorate it.

After they grow the chia seeds that come with the kit, you can just buy some more or they can just play with the plastic pet.

Succulent Tray

One plant on the coffee table is nice. Two is starting to get a little cluttered. Anything more than that and it just looks like a mess. One way to solve that is with a succulent tray.

The trays that I prefer are wooden, but you can get them in wicker or ceramic as well. They’re a cute way to display a bunch of succulents and ornamental balls without them looking like random clutter on the living room table.

Outdoor Plant Stand

If your friend has a lot of little plants to display outside, they don’t wanna put the terra cotta pots right on the ground. First off, the plants can’t be enjoyed that way and second they won’t get proper drainage after being watered if they’re sitting on the ground.

So, a great idea is a wrought iron raised plant stand.

My mom used to have one with two shelves and was able to fit four small planters on each level. Depending on the size of the plants, and the size of the plant stand, it can hold a bunch. Which is great if your friend has a lot of plants.

Floral Garden Flag

If your friend has enough plants inside (and maybe enough outside too), something decorative is a better gift: like a plant-themed garden flag.

There are so many to choose from, so you can easily find one that matches your friend’s personality and also the colors of their house (because that is also very important).

If your friend doesn’t already have a garden flag, you should also get them a flag stand too. Without it, they’ll have no way to hang your gift and it’ll just become clutter or something they end up listing on Facebook Marketplace.

Metal Outdoor Flowers

If your friend loves plants and flowers, but travels too often to take care of them, I have a solution: Metal flowers.

So many of the homes by me in North Carolina have them. They started popping up a lot this year because we had a drought and water restrictions all summer, so any outdoor plants weren’t growing. So, the only way to really decorate the outside of a home was with metal flowers.

They come in so many different sizes, colors, and styles, so you can definitely find the perfect ones for your friend.

LEGO Botanicals Happy Plants Set

Some people like plants, but just can’t keep them alive. It happens.

So, a great gift for a plant-loving friend who doesn’t have a green thumb is a LEGO botanical set.

Many of the sets are shaped like flowers, which is really cute. But, the Happy Plants line is shaped like small plants and succulents. Those are a little better for your plant friend.

Monstera Leaf Air Dry Clay Kit

If you’re looking for something that’s useful, my best suggestion is this monstera leaf air clay kit. It comes with everything your friend needs, including instructions, to make a clay tray shaped like a leaf.

Not only is it something for your friend to actually do, make, and feel proud of, but it’s also something that they can use in their home later to hold trinkets.

Every time they use it, they’ll be really proud of themselves and think of what a great gift giver you are.

Succulent Plush Figures

I don’t think that plush toys are just for kids. They’re also for adults with adult money. Or, your plant-loving friend.

I remember my brothers and I getting my mom a bendable flower from carnival when we were really young (and she, of course, was an adult) and she really liked it.

If your friend wants something a little smaller, a succulent plush toy is super adorable and super whimsical. They can easily display it around their plants or keep it in their bedroom to snuggle at night and have sweet dreams of succulents.

Hape Nature Fun Greenhouse

If your plant loving friend is a young kid, or has a young kid that they want to get involved in their hobby, this Hape Nature Fun Greenhouse is perfect.

The toy is made for kids 4 and up. It has spots for paper tubes that you fill with dirt and seed to grow pretty much anything.

I suggest using wildflower seeds or seeds for microgreens because they grow quickly. Anything quick will keep your child’s attention. Anything that takes a really long time to germinate might lose them.

Large Outdoor Planters

There’s a good chance that your plant-loving friend has, well, a lot of plants. And they’re probably moving those plants around from planter to planter, always trying to figure out where the next move is gonna be.

Do them a favor and buy them a large outdoor planter or two. That way, they can stick multiple plants and flowers into it and have enough space for them to grow.

Wall Plant Holder

One of my friends made a really cute wall planter out of a mason jar and wood. We saw it the day she made it and hung it up and everyone loved it. But, we were all wondering the same thing: How do you clean the water? She hadn’t thought about that.

So, wall hangings for plants are cute, but they also need to be functional.

If you’re buying one for a friend, one with multiple shelves where they can just place the plants on and take them down when they need to be watered is much better.

Botanical Gardens Membership

One of the best gifts that my parents gave me for my birthday a few years ago was an annual pass to our local botanical garden, Airlie Gardens. That garden is part of the American Horticultural Society’s reciprocal admissions program, which means we receive free reciprocal entry into the other participating AHS gardens across the country.

The first year, we used it in San Antonio and two gardens in Florida in addition to our membership garden.

So, if your friend likes plants, but they also like traveling, this is perfect. They’ll be able to visit their local botanical garden and see the plants anytime they want, attend workshops (which will help with their plants at home), and visit one of the other 400 gardens in the program for a whole year.
