Make Plants Part of Your Gift Buying Ideas

posted on 7 January 2012 | posted in Fashion


Plants are one of the best solutions for coming up with gift buying ideas that can please a wide range of people on a small budget. I use them all the time for housewarming, thank you, get well and hostess gifts. They also work well for non-occasion presents. If I know the recipient I’ll try to pick something meaningful for them like herbs for someone who likes to cook or a cactus for someone who grew up in the southwest. If I’m not that familiar with the recipient’s tastes, I look for something attractive and easy to maintain. For larger purchases I stick with nurseries where I know the plants are well cared for rather than going to supermarkets or big box stores. Sometimes I even add a more personal touch and spend nothing by dividing one of my own Peace Lilies that’s grown big enough to split. Plants are a healthy and long lasting gift that many people appreciate.

Another idea is bespoke jewellery. I make jewellery gifts with my jewellery tools - people love getting unique gifts.
