Not sure what to get for that plant-obsessed green thumb in your life? These top gifts for plant lovers will make shopping a piece of cake whether you’re buying for a gardener, a home chef who loves cooking with fresh ingredients, or simply someone infatuated with houseplants. Let’s be real, these will likely make for great Millennial gifts too. We love our plant babies.
For those who don’t have space for a garden or raised bed planter, the AeroGarden Harvest is a trusted countertop hydroponic option for even people with a black thumb. It’s all fully contained with a water tank and built-in full-spectrum light. As a hydroponic system, there’s no dirt to worry about and no worry about when to water your plants or risk of killing them by over-watering.
AeroGarden does everything they can do to make this process as easy and foolproof as possible. The lights are on a timer so you don’t have to remember to turn them on. An alert light turns on when the tank needs water added so there’s no guessing about when to water. And that’s it.
This popular Harvest model has six slots for plants and comes in black, sage green, or white. It’s a very convenient size and good for a small family. If they want to grow more than six plants at a time, AeroGarden has plenty of other sizes including the AeroGarden Farm with room for 24 plants.
I love my countertop hydroponic garden. It’s the perfect size to grow greens for salads for a couple or to keep fresh herbs for cooking. I get HelloFresh and their herbs aren’t always in great shape so it’s great to have our own fresh herbs always readily available in my little indoor garden.
If they’re more into growing their own sprouts for eating, they’d love a seed sprouter, a more attractive and efficient method than the traditional DYI paper towels in a plastic bag.
They’ll flip over these Suction Cup Window Garden Shelves because plant lovers are always running out of available surface area for plants, let alone the prime real estate of window ledges for plants that need a lot of sun. Not every plant will tolerate being in the corner like my trusty snake plant.
Each ledge is 15 inches long and six inches deep. It’s supported by four suction cups and can hold up to 10 pounds when properly applied. They include an alcohol wipe and microfiber cloth along with instructions on how to make sure the shelf is installed for best results. The shelves themselves are made of clear acrylic so they’re unobtrusive and don’t block sunlight.
I’ve included this style of shelf in my unisex gifts for adults article. They come in packs of one, two, or five.
Do they love plants but maybe haven’t nailed the whole keeping plants alive thing? Support their plant habit with this Four-Piece Funny Succulent Pot Set.
Each three-inch ceramic pot has a drainage hole and comes with a little bamboo tray. They’re printed with joking phrases like, “Please Don’t Die,” and “You Grow Girl.”
These are a good size for succulents, cacti, or baby bonsai. They don’t come with plants but you can pick up a four-pack succulent assortment at the same time and make it a bundle.
A Food Dehydrator will help the gardener in your life better preserve everything they grow from tomatoes to carrots to herbs to berries. Having a bountiful harvest is amazing until it starts going bad. Your neighbors will only accept so many bags of tomatoes before they start avoiding eye contact with you.
Ever spent a whole growing season preventing squirrels from eating your strawberries only for them to mold in your fridge? This was my father before getting a dehydrator and now he dries all the strawberries he can’t immediately eat and snacks on them the rest of the year.
Dehydrating food is easier and more forgiving than canning and requires less equipment. Plus you can preserve many more things including making your own jerky.
This dehydrator from Elechome has eight transparent trays for easy viewing and each has two adjustable height settings depending on what you’re drying. It also comes with a fruit leather tray for creating your own fruit leather from a puree.
What better gift for a person who loves plants than plants? This Monthly Succulents Subscription Box includes two new succulents in two clay pots packaged and sent to your person every month. Each box includes care instructions and a little species info card.
Succulents Box has a wide range of subscription plans. You can choose to receive the succulents with their own clay pots or save money by opting for plastic pots instead. There are different sizes as well with boxes as small as one succulent or up to four. For even more variety, they have a one succulent and one air plant option.
Whether their green thumb is a little blacker than they’d like or they simply have a fun sense of humor, this outdoor Metal “Grow” Sign will crack any plant person up. It’s certainly something we’ve all thought at those stubborn plants who just aren’t getting the message no matter what we do.
It’s handcrafted by 81 Metal Art in South Dakota from pre-rusted steel and is meant to have this aged rusty look to it. The sign is eight inches wide so it’s a good size that can fit in just about anywhere but still be noticed.
I adore the retro colors and design of this Plant Lady Coffee Mug. The design, printed on both sides, is easy to read and full of loads of fun little details like the pattern on the planter and spines of the cactus.
The artwork was created and printed onto the mug by a small business in Florida. The mug is both microwave and dishwasher-safe and is also available in a larger 15-ounce version.
This mat is made of durable rubber with a no-slip backing to keep it in place. It doesn’t have a bunch of bristles like some coconut fiber mats so it’s not really meant to clean off dirty feet. For that reason, I’d say this is best suited for apartment dwellers who would like a mat for the hallway in front of their door. It’s not designed to function as an outdoor mat.
Bring their love of plants into their decor with these realistic Leaf Throw Pillows by FrecklePot. They arrive pre-filled which is nice since you tend to find a lot of gorgeous throw pillows on Amazon that are really just the pillowcases and, of course, you only notice that after it’s arrived at your house.
These are really stunningly realistic and come in several different plant species. I like this vibrant Pink Caladium Alocasia featured above but you can also get Alocasia Amazonica, Monstera, and Monstera Albo leaf pillows.
Okay, this Tertill Solar-Powered Garden-Weeding Robot (the love-child of a Roomba and a robot lawnmower) is maybe not the most reliable, flawless device, but there’s something exciting about even just the idea of a robot that weeds your garden for you. If you’re buying for someone who loves gadgets or you’ve got the cash to get them something for the look of surprised delight, this is the gift.
If this sounds like a Roomba for your garden, that’s because it was created by the same people who made the Roomba.
This weeding robot works based on height so it requires you to have done one pass of weeding to get it started. If a plant is tall enough to set off Tertill’s sensors then the little machine turns away. As weeds grow in, they will be short enough to fit underneath Tertill’s sensors so the robot will cut them down like a lawnmower. And not to worry, it comes with special plant guards to protect shorter seedlings while they are growing.
The best part? It’s solar-powered. There’s no extra expense from electricity or worry about it docking correctly. It runs until it runs out of juice and then once it’s sat in the sun for a while it turns itself back on and continues its job. You can really just let this thing loose in your garden and it will take care of itself. For more information on solar, check out my solar-powered Christmas lights article.
Now, that’s the theory. In practice, is it perfect? No. It can get stuck like a Roomba and rainy days mean that it won’t get charged up by the sun until the weather clears. Still, it’s a hilarious gift and worth it for the mere gimmick of it.
For the friend who dreams of their home being Apartment Therapy, they’ll swoon at this Two-Piece Curved Modern Plant Display. It’s perfect for showing off lots of smaller plants like succulents, bonsai, and air plants. Each small shelf has a weight capacity of 10 pounds and the larger shelves can hold up to 20 pounds. Typical plant stands don’t tend to include space for hanging plants but each half of this stand has three hooks for hanging plants.
While it looks in the photo to be a large circular piece, it’s actually two half-arc plant shelves that can be set up together or apart. This makes it a lot more flexible in how your friend can place it. Each piece is made up of a metal frame for support and pressboard shelves. The shelves are nice and stable and two of the hanging ring are free to be repositioned wherever you want them.
Leaf blankets are cute but the shape and size of other brands can make them less than practical–that is not the case with this Gloriosum Blanket by Green Philosophy Co. It’s huge so the tapered shape of the leaf doesn’t leave anyone’s feet out in the cold.
This thing is 6.3 feet wide and 7.5 feet tall. That’s big enough to keep on a queen or king-sized bed. It’s double-layered with a soft fleece top and a cozy sherpa underside.
Green Philosophy Co. plants trees with every purchase so supporting them by buying this blanket will allow them to plant 15 trees.
Do they have more houseplants than they have natural light for? A Tripod Full-Spectrum Plant Floor Lamp is a zero-installation answer to plants that aren’t thriving.
This light has four LED light strips on flexible gooseneck stems to position over their plants as needed and the stand itself is highly adjustable from 15 inches tall up to 48 inches tall. It uses full-spectrum white light to support plants through all stages of life. There are five brightness levels and several preset timers.
If they prefer to have a little more control, there’s also a Purple Light Version where you can control whether the LEDs are releasing red light, blue light, or a mix to create purple light, depending on the plants’ needs and stages of development.
Gardeners will love growing these unique takes on garden classics. This Funky Color Vegetable Seed Collection by Sow Right Seeds comes with packets for 10 different head-turning vegetables your person has probably never grown. Sure maybe they’ve grown their own watermelons, but have they grown watermelons that are bright yellow when you cut into them?
The seeds are non-GMO, heirloom varieties of lemon cucumbers, yellow pear tomatoes, yellow crimson watermelon, burgundy okra, golden globe beets, red acre cabbage, rainbow carrots, rainbow swiss chard, watermelon radish, and lolla rosa lettuce. Having lemon cucumbers will open up some great Asian recipes that rely on this Asian treat.
All the seeds are sourced and packaged in the United States.
Introverted plant parents will love these “Sorry I Can’t My Plants Need Me” Socks. If they’re always hoping to get out of plants because they just want to chill on the couch and care for their little green babies, they’ll appreciate being able to put their feet up and say, sorry, I can’t.
These unisex plants are 80 percent cotton and sized to fit most adults.
Have a friend who can’t help themselves from taking cuttings and propagating new plants? This “I’d Propogate That” Shirt is for them. Is it a bit of a call-out? Maybe. Is it also a shirt they’ll wear with pride? Definitely.
This unisex long-sleeve shirt is nice and lightweight and good for keeping the sun off their arms during light gardening work. It’s also a nice way for plant people to recognize each other out in public because they’re bound to get a laugh from this shirt.
Blumat Automatic Watering Spikes are a great gift for plant people who are away from home frequently or simply arent all that great at remembering to water their plants.
These spikes are a way to add low-tech irrigation to several plants and feed them with one bowl of water. The spikes act as a siphon to draw water from a reservoir bowl through the tubing and into the soil of their thirsty plant.
You can get them in sets of anything from three to 50.
Low-maintenance plants are great but there aren’t as many of those as I’d like and that’s why I’ll take any help I can get like this Self-Watering Planter by Modella. This clever setup is a pot within a pot where there’s a smaller container on top where the actual plant is and it sits within a larger vessel filled with water.
The smaller pot uses a cotton rope wick to draw up water from the reservoir when the soil gets dry that way the plant is always sufficiently moist and you never have to worry about watering. When the water reservoir gets too low, an alert beep will sound to alert you that it’s time to refill the bottom pot using the small covered port on the edge of the top pot. This alert feature requires two AA batteries and is set into the bottom of the large pot.
On top of all that, it’s a beautiful planter. This Mid-Century Modern look is always on-trend and it comes in the featured sage green with metallic gold legs as well as a more subtle grey with natural bamboo legs.
Make the most of their space with Amazing Creation’s Stackable Planter. The five clover-shaped pots stack allowing them to take advantage of the vertical space on their patio, balcony, or indoors. When fully put together, this stack has 15 planting areas and each drains down to the one below it for easy watering. This is a great choice for growing herbs, showy annual flowers, and lettuce.
It comes with a matching tray at the bottom to catch excess water and increase the stability of the stack. The tray isn’t very deep though so I wouldn’t count on it to catch lots of water. I like that it collapses to be easy to store at the end of the season.
It comes in this warm terracotta color as well as off white.
Does your friend love plants and wine? On the Rox has them covered with the Four-Piece Funny Plant Stemless Wine Glass Set. The funny plays on words will get them laughing and posing for social media. They’re dishwasher safe, thank goodness, because who has time to wash a glass by hand?
I like that they’re printed in the USA and have such bright, vibrant colors. Keep in mind that while they don’t actually contain curse words, they do hint at them, so don’t give these to someone who dislikes swear words.
Spray bottles are fine and all but after a while, all that squeezing can really wear your finger out–especially if you have a lot of plants or ar into air plants. An Electric Plant Mister takes over the pumping action with a 2,000 mAH rechargeable battery and provides a continuous stream with the single press of a button. There’s nothing to hold down or keep pressing.
It allows for a range of stream types with a twist of the nozzle so you can have a fuller stream, wide spray, or fine mist. The bottle has a one-liter capacity and a battery-life of eight hours.
You can choose between three colors including classic white, blue, and a colorful green-teal-orange bottle.
Whether they like to display cuttings in bud vases or are into propagating plants, this Test Tube Terrarium is a more attractive medium than makeshift mason jars or glasses.
The wooden stand has slots for five included glass test tubes perfect for propagating cuttings with a clear view of their root progress. It comes with a cleaning brush and hardware in case you want to hang it on the wall.
They’ve probably seen these Harvesting Thumb Knives advertised on social media. I would bet they’re interested to try out these useful little devices but not likely to buy them themselves so this will be a great surprise they’ll be excited about.
This clever design takes the natural movement of using your thumbnail to cut through stems when harvesting or pruning and adds a short blade for quicker work and avoiding those painful splinters that can happen when plant material gets stuck underneath your thumbnail.
The set includes four thumb knives in two different styles as well as four finger protection sleeves for your index finger, and four finger cots to hold the knife sections. The orange parts are made of easy-to-clean silicone.
At first glance, this Praying Mantis Hatching Bonsai Kit might look a little odd, but that’s only because it is. Not everyone will appreciate a wire bonsai tree sculpture topped with a live praying mantis egg sac, all contained within an acrylic hatching box for easy viewing but I’m bettering that the people who are into it are gardeners.
According to Home Guides (among others), releasing praying mantes into your garden is a great non-chemical way to address pest bug issues like aphids, mosquitos, caterpillars, and grasshoppers.
This set comes with one egg sac capable of hatching anywhere from 50 to 500 little mantids. To dress up this brown lump, they’ve placed it on a unique wire bonsai tree and encased it in clear acrylic so they can watch their mantes hatch.
I used to work at a butterfly park (strange but true) and did my fair share of selling and hatching praying mantes. It’s a really neat process and fun to see them in your garden later when they’re all grown up.
For cactus, succulent, and air plant lovers, this Three-Piece Modern Geometric Terrarium Set will give them an excuse to buy more beautiful plant babies. Each one is around four inches across and is made of real glass framed in metal. They come in gold or black and also come in sets of eight if you want to really spoil them.
If you love the look of these but don’t want to put in the effort to care for even an air plant, the brand actually offers these same three geometric terrariums pre-filled with stones and fake succulents.
This Four-Container Raised Planter is designed for both indoor or outdoor use making it great for patios, balconies, and apartment-living. I love this stylish curve of the structure that sets each container slightly on top of the other but still allows you to get a full view of your plants. It’s more elegant than simple straight lines.
It uses a cascading watering system where you water the top planter and the excess water drips down to the container below it. It comes with a stopper so if this is an indoor or balcony set up you can plug up the hole on the bottom planter and prevent water from dripping onto the floor (or downstairs neighbor).
At six feet tall it’s substantial without being unmanageable and the 27-inch plastic containers are a great convenient size for herbs, lettuce, succulents, or annual flowers.
There’s no guarantee that this “It’s Not Hoarding If It’s Plants” Hoodie will keep their family, friends, or partner from giving them the stink-eye when they come home with just one more plant, but it won’t hurt. And they’ll get a real kick out of wearing it.
The hoodie is as crowded with plants as their apartment. They’ll love all the little details from the veining on all the leaves to the different species of tiny cacti and succulents. It’s machine washable and dryable–who has time for anything else?
If they hate having to close up their garden come fall and wait all winter for planting season, extend their growing season with The Year-Round Vegetable Gardener.
The full title is The Year-Round Vegetable Gardener: How to Grow Your Own Food 365 Days a Year, No Matter Where You Live and the “no matter where you live” part is important. Your friend or family member probably thinks that once it starts snowing, there’s no way you can have plants outside. That’s what I thought living up here in New Hampshire, but then I started seeing friends harvesting fresh food all through the winter.
The author of The Year-Round Vegetable Gardener lives in Nova Scotia, Canada which, according to Natural Resources Canada has a growing zone of 6a to 5a, meaning it sees temperatures as low as -20 degrees Fahrenheit. So if they can grow vegetables outside in winter, I’m betting your friend can too.
Greenhouses are perfect for supporting plants by providing them with a warm, stable, moist environment or for gardening in a colder climate. You probably think of giant, bulky glass structures but this Pop-Up Greenhouse by Eagle Peak gives you all the greenhouse benefits in a compact, easy to set up package.
Most personal greenhouses have tent pole assembly which can be terribly frustrating and that’s why I love this pop of version. It comes with a fully constructed frame that simply needs to be wrapped in the cover and then unfolded. The height is also adjustable depending on your needs and space.
This walk-in greenhouse has two roll-up mesh windows and two roll-up doors. They all close with a zipper and have attached holders to keep the covering in place. It’s available in three different sizes: six-by-four feet, eight-by-six feet, and 12-by-eight feet.
Why bother with a greenhouse? According to Sciencing, a greenhouse works by trapping sunlight in which increases warmth, just like how the inside of a car sitting in the sun will be hotter than outside of the car. This makes for happier tropical plants. It’s called a greenhouse because it’s good for green things.
Save them from bending and kneeling with a dedicated Expanding Potting Bench. For a space that starts at only 3.2 feet wide and 4.6 feet tall, they really create lots of storage and working space. There are two shelves near the top of the bench, a shelf underneath the bench for tall objects, hooks for hanging tools, and a working space that expands from 3.2 feet wide to 4.8 feet wide.
The two halves of the workspace slide to the side revealing an inset plastic bin area that can be used to catch soil as you work.
If you don’t love the natural wood look, it also comes in a darker stained version. This version also comes on locking wheels.
If they do any sort of outdoor gardening or yard work, they’ll appreciate this Convertable Seat and Kneeling Pad by TomCare. It folds nearly flat for storage and can be used as either a low seat or flipped over to become an elevated kneeling pad.
The seat comes with two slip-on pouches, each with two pockets, that are built to hold tools like cultivators, spades, pruning shears, or other items like bug spray or a water bottle. When you want to flip the seat upside down to make it a kneeling pad, the pouches slip off the sides and slip on to the new top of the pad.
It’s built to hold up to 330 pounds and comes in this featured green as well as red and black or grey.
Real-talk. I’m a Millennial and what they say about your thirties is true. My knees are tired. Getting down is one thing–getting back up is another. Chances are, the plant person you’re being for feels the same way.
If they love to garden, they’ll really appreciate this Gardener’s Log Book that will help them keep track of what they planted, where they planted it, and the results. This is great for vegetable gardeners who need to rotate crops year by year for soil health as well as for people who love their flowers so they can actually remember which perennials are coming up where in the spring. This was also featured in our Gifts for Gardeners article.
This book will help them stay organized and be a priceless resource the next growing season. It has areas for journaling, recording planting, blooming, and harvesting dates, drawing garden diagrams, and seasonal chore check lists–for five full years.
Plus it’s waterproof so they can safely take it out into the garden and it has this lovely illustration from the New York Botanical Garden.
Help them take the guesswork out of soil and sunlight requirements with this Kensizer 3-in-1 Soil Tester. It’s an awesome stocking stuffer for anyone with plants. This one little device can tell you the pH of the soil, the moisture of the soil, and the level of sunlight received in that spot in your garden or your houseplants. It’s a great tool to help decide where to plant what and to check in on the health of your current setup.
I love that it doesn’t require any batteries and works right out of the package.
A good pair of gardening gloves is priceless. These Unisex Breathable Pruning Gloves have a nice, long gauntlet style to them up the elbow instead of just the hands. This makes them a good choice for people who deal with spines or thorns on plants like roses, raspberries, cacti, or quinces.
They’re made with durable pigskin leather that won’t get all stiff on you after contact with water. The gloves are reinforced at key points to ensure protection.
They come in a variety of colors and sizes to best fit your person. Keep in mind that as they are made with pigskin, they are not kosher.
Whether they grow hydroponics, jumpstart seedlings for an outdoor garden, or just need extra light for their plants, this Four-Foot Hanging LED Grow Light has the look of traditional hanging fluorescent grow lights but with a modern LED twist.
LED light chips are energy-saving and, unlike traditional fluorescent tubes, you don’t have to worry about changing them because they don’t burn out for years and years. The full-spectrum light is closer to sunlight and helps to better foster photosynthesis.
It comes with hanging hardware and is also available in a four-pack.
I own this Vivosun Seedling Heat Mat, bought with my own money, so I can vouch for its performance. If the person you’re buying for starts their garden from seed, placing your seed trays over a seedling heat mat will produce better germination rates and help plants grow in a stable, moist environment.
The heat mat has a digital thermostat so you can choose your temperature. It doesn’t just heat itself to that temperature though, it comes with a temperature probe that you place where you want your consistent temperature and the mat will read this and adjust.
This mat works well for both my seedlings and for fermenting tempeh at home which requires a very steady, consistent temperature so I feel good about recommending it.
They’ll love this Mid-Century Adjustable Plant Stand because it completely bypasses all the measuring and worrying about if your pot will actually fit in the stand. It’s great for fitting unique artisan-made pots that might not adhere to typical size standards. How else are you going to find a stand for an 8.6-inch handmade pot?
The acacia wood of this stand slides in and out of built-in grooves so it can accommodate pots with diameters of eight inches up to 12 inches. Keep in mind that the pot is not included in this listing but it’s easy enough to find one that will fit thanks to the design.
Get them their very own stately glass-domed greenhouse in miniature form with this Birdcage Glass Terrarium. At 10 inches tall and nine inches across it’s the perfect size to catch eyes and make a statement without being overwhelming or hard to find space for. The construction is beautiful and will really turn heads.
It has a fully closed bottom capable of holding substrate and a hinged glass door allowing easy access for occasional spritzing with water to keep the terrarium moist. It’s not a fully sealed terrarium so it will need to be occasionally watered, but a few sprays here and there should be fine depending on the plants they choose.
If they ever complain about having to haul around a garden cart or going back and forth for their tools, they could use a Gardening Apron like this one from Typhoon East. Made from durable, waterproof canvas, the unisex apron is highly adjustable with wide straps that cross in the back for more comfortable support. There are three large pockets for tools like cultivators and spades, two smaller pockets for things like shears, and one zippered pocket for flat items like seed packets or items you want to keep safe from dirt like your smartphone.
Typhoon Easy also includes two black foam knee pads so they won’t have to carry around their kneeling pad to every location.
An excuse to buy more succulents? Best present ever. This Modern Matte Steel Long Planter is the ideal shape and size for a striking centerpiece for a table or planter for a long window sill.
It measures 32 inches long, 3.5 inches wide, and 3.5 inches tall for a nice narrow strip just waiting to be filled with succulents. The stainless steel has a trendy matte finish and is scratch-resistant. Four rubber feet are included for stability and to protect your surfaces. If black isn’t their color, it comes in white or space-blue grey.
If this is a little too big but you like the style, they also offer a 16-inch version with the same width and height.
The success of a gardener is often intimately linked to the successes of their local pollinators. Help them deepen this relationship (and improve their yields) by getting them a MayBee Beehive Starter Kit.
Beekeeping isn’t for everyone, particularly if you know they have an allergy or are straight-up terrified of bees, but for some, it becomes an incredibly satisfying way to connect with their land, their plants, and support the critical bee population. According to the Natural Resources Defense Fund, without bees, our food would be significantly more expensive and we wouldn’t be able to have the type of variety we enjoy now.
This kit by MayBee includes a preassembled eight-frame beehive, beekeeping gloves, frame holder, bee smoker, beekeeping brush, J-hook, L-hook, uncapping knife, uncapping fork, uncapping tool, bee feeder, beehive grip, two bricks of smoking pellets, spur wire wheel embedder, three queen cages, and one marking tube.
For outdoor gardeners, there are few things more satisfying than watching your climbing flowers take over a trellis so give them more of this feeling with a Two-Piece Amagabeli Garden Trellis Set. Each trellis is 47 inches tall total with 11 inches of stake for stability.
The simple cross-hatch design won’t overshadow their flowers and often more complicated patterns can make it difficult to get even coverage. They’re built from rust-free iron and embellished with an eye-catching finial.
If your friend identifies as a plant daddy, they’ll love this Plant Daddy Mug by LookHuman. The simple design is eye-catching with bright colors easy to read. It’s definitely a cup that will make them smile and want to show off on their next video call.
LookHuman’s mugs are printed here in the USA and are dishwasher and microwave-safe. For those who want a bigger mug, it also comes as a 15-ounce mug.
The CobraHead Original Weeder is a good choice for someone who goes to war with dandelions and other weeds in their yard or garden every year. Its curved design with grooved, angled head allows the CobraHead to sink into even dense soil and pry up weeds without too much disruption to the surrounding soil.
It’s also a great tool for digging up potatoes, onions, garlic, carrots, and other tubers.
I like that the handle is made from recycled plastics and that the whole thing is made here in America.
If you’re buying for someone who loves plants but has places in their life where they wish they could have plants and can’t, consider Jellycat’s Plush Plants. They’re a nice solution to wanting plants in a windowless office, car, or vacation home where you aren’t there often enough to care for real plants.
They’re super cute with their tiny faces and little spindly legs. They come in lots of different types of plants. I’m featuring their cute little Daffodil plant but they also come in Bluebells, Prickly Pear Cactus, Succulent, and Snowdrops.
If they’re still tilling by hand, save them time and sore muscles with Earthwise’s Cordless Electric Tiller. This rechargeable, battery-powered cultivator tills soil to a depth of up to six inches all without having to worry about electric cords or fuel.
The whole thing only weighs nine pounds and is much easier to manage than larger, heavier models making this ideal for those of us who are more petite than most and for people who are aging.
With this Kenroy Home Solar-Powered Fountain, they can have a water feature that will turn heads without having to deal with running electrical cords through their garden or adding to their electrical bill.
I love having lights and fountains in my yard but I can’t stand having to run wires through it. I know I’m more likely than not going to shred it with the weedwhacker or, at the very least, trip over it. That’s why I have a solar-only policy in my yard and even though I live in gloomy New England, my garden is lit up year-round.
This resin fountain is 44 inches tall with a diameter of 22 inches. The solar-powered pump moves water up and then down three layers for a soothing waterfall sound. It comes with the fountain, solar panel, and shims to keep your fountain level.
Increase the number of pollinators in their garden with a simple Mason Bee House. Not every gardener has the time or effort to put into keeping honeybees but hanging homes for local solitary mason bees is a great way to bring more of these little pollinators to their yard naturally.
This hanging hexagon is made of real wood and creates an overhang to protect the sixty bamboo tubes from the weather. It’s meant to last two years and then the tubes will need to be replaced.
If they’re into bonsai, upgrade their pruning game with this Five-Piece Bonsai Tool Set. The black, stainless steel tools will last and have a satisfying weight to them. It comes with Jin pliers, wire cutters, knob cutters, concave cutters, and bonsai scissors.
You can also pair this with a bonsai starter kit and jumpstart a new hobby.
If they love growing new things, maybe they’d like to give fungi a try with this Forest Origins Pink Oyster Mushroom Growing Kit. It comes with everything you need to start growing pink oyster mushrooms and only requires misting to get the process going.
It’s a great beginner mushroom growing kit that is low maintenance and 100% guaranteed. I love that it’s made in the USA and that they have several different types of mushrooms to choose from.
