You’ve given presents to your plants all year—and now it’s time to think about gifts for your family and friends! As a gardener, you know how to lavish a vegetable with care, but humans can be more finicky. Spoil your loved ones this season with this garden-inspired gift guide!   Â
An Easygoing Houseplant
Your friend doesn’t have to be an expert gardener to enjoy this gift. A first houseplant can often awaken a love of plants that they never knew they had. But, as you would when setting up a kid’s garden, you’ll want to set them up for success. So, give them a plant that’s easy to tend, like a snake plant, ZZ plant, Chinese evergreen, cactus, anthurium, or pothos. If you’re ever in doubt, our experienced staff are more than happy to be your in-person gift guide!Â
Â
Houseplants for Green ThumbsÂ
Perhaps your loved one is already a well-established plant lover. Why not give them something you know they’ll enjoy? If they’ve mastered the snake plant and pothos, send them a money tree, macho fern, or philodendron. A savvy gardener can always find window space to expand their indoor jungle. Plus, they already know the benefits of keeping greenery in the home!
Â
Gardener BlingÂ
Our garden centers are blooming with finely-crafted bracelets, earrings, and necklaces. Some borrow seaside themes from the local landscape, and others weave in natural elements, like wooden hoop earrings. After dedicating so much time to our garden and home decor during the year, it’s good to treat ourselves and loved-ones to some beautiful jewelry to wear.  Â
The love of plants is rooted deep in the human genome—and garden-related gifts can never go wrong.
Southern-Inspired ApparelÂ
For the fashionistas in your life, we carry a great selection of bags, totes, and apparel. They range from the stylish South Carolina brand, Spartina 449 to our down-to-earth T-shirts and hats by Simply Southern. Gardeners, non-gardeners, and anyone from Virginia and Maryland will appreciate the stylish swag! Â
Â
4Ocean BraceletsÂ
You can help restore our precious oceans while giving a gift to loved ones. With every bracelet 4Ocean sells, they remove one pound of trash from the seas and coastlines. They also partner with other groups to help conserve endangered sea animals. For example, the Monk Seal bracelet helps the Marine Mammal Center protect endangered Hawaiian Monk Seals. Though each bracelet is only a small contribution, they make a small step towards restoring the precious seascapes that sustain our planet. Â
Gift Card
Giving a gift card is like planting bulbs in the fall—it’s a gift that doesn’t bloom immediately but is bound to impress when the time comes. Whether the recipient is looking for houseplants, apparel, crafts, or wishes to cash it in when the gardening season gets underway—a gift card is like a seed that grows into something more!
Giving gifts shouldn’t feel like an obligation or a chore. It’s an opportunity to show your appreciation and share abundance with loved ones. When it comes to working through your holiday shopping list, we believe everyone is secretly a gardener. The love of plants is rooted deep in the human genome—and garden-related gifts can never go wrong.
