I’ve brought a lot of Miki’s Art and she was meantioned a few times when I asked my followers on my social media. They can be adapted slightly to suit the person your buying for and she also does Bundles of prints . Modern house plant prints lovingly designed and printed in England. She also can send international if you have any questions about her prints I would send her a message on Insta.
BethanDesigns is a small artwork business selling numerous art prints, clothing, bags, gifts and more. I personally have got a lot of custom prints from her as well as buying her Lino prints. I highly recommend if your looking for something that extra special from a UK artist. Bethan is my recommendation for that extra special print. She not only great for that botanical print but she also sells some plant accessories, stickers, sweatshirts, pin badges and of course her beautiful leafy prints.

Candles
Candles are always a nice way to improve a jungle space and essentially as after using one you can reuse the glass or pot it came in when finished burning the candle as decorative a planter. They is a known tip when reusing Candle pots what you have to do is put the candle in the freezer and aparently it makes its so much easier to get the leftover wax out before using a candle pot and a planter. A great creative Leaves & Prickles makes this amazing lovely scented candles with fun planty saying and puns. She also has he trademarked Terrarium candles. I’ll let Monika share a little about her business here “Hi, I’m Monika! I create beautiful and unique terrarium candles that make delightful gifts for any occasion—guaranteed to bring a smile. Each candle is hand-poured in small batches in my home kitchen using natural soy wax and cruelty-free fragrance oils, then thoughtfully packaged in recyclable paper.” I highly recommend her candles she makes some really good Quality candles for the plant lover at reasonable prices.
Resin Art or clay is a popular amongst plant lovers one of the two artist like this I recommend is atelier.maurene she produces there unique pieces of art with resin, dried flowers and each piece comes with its unique design and use. I’ll share some of her work for the EU readers again.
Another great idea for plant lovers is crafty, handmade plants made from paper or other materials. A standout option is Nicole’s Jungle, which offers a subscription box where you can create your own paper plants. These aren’t meant to go in plant pots, but they make delightful decorative pieces for plant lovers to enjoy. The best part? They add to the collection without requiring any care—a perfect solution for those who love plants but might be short on time or space for more live greenery.
One brilliant artist who paints incredible plant pots and other ceramics is FoxBerry Ceramics. She has an exceptional eye for detail, and anything she creates would make the perfect gift for any botanical lover. Her creations include painted watering cans, pots, leaf decorations, and beautiful botanical cards. I have personally purchased a few items from her, as pictured below.
Plant Pals and Novelty pots
Plant Pals are adorable little creatures made from various materials that can hang on plant pots or, if lightweight, climb the stems of plants. They make a fantastic stocking filler for any plant enthusiast—something even my plant-loving friends on social media have raved about! Personally, I’m on the fence about them. I received one in a Secret Santa once and wasn’t too thrilled, but it’s still happily perched in my big Monstera pot, so it does add a bit of charm.
Some Plant Pals are not just cute but practical too! For example, some include a moisture meter, which is a handy way for plant lovers to check if their plants need watering. It’s a gift that’s both decorative and functional—a win-win!
Do you have a plant lover thanks also obsessed with a particular animal, movie or show. Another great gift for the plant lover is those cute novelty pots.
One Business I recommended is ingadi.ie they make a couple of designs but there most popular pot being the Happy pots. The good thing about these is that they are all 3D printed.
Little Pricks has a exstensive collection of Novelty pots like Gurgu, Disney, polly pocket, Simpsons, Pokemon and animals.
