31 Perfect Gifts for Your Favorite Plant Lover
Gardening kits! Tote bags! Tiny succulent holders!
There are people who love plants and people who love plants. The former will put a houseplant or two on their Christmas list; the latter will capture every shimmy of their telegraph plant on time-lapse; think nothing of having 100 plants in a studio apartment; and skip Thanksgiving because who leaves their Fiddle Leaf Fig alone for a minute?!
They are also known to fill their homes with plant and garden-themed objects and ephemera. As such, they’re the easiest, and the most fun, to shop for. Not unlike cat ladies. (Cat mamas will be thrilled with anything with unnecessary whiskers on it.)
And because it’s so much fun, we’ve gone and done some of the work for you. So, whether you’re shopping for a plantfluencer with a thriving collection of greenery, or a first-time plant owner, here are 31 gift ideas any plant mom (or dad) is guaranteed to love.
