Top 5 Helpful Tips for Buying Gifts for Plant Lovers
-
As lovely as it is to gift a plant for Christmas or a birthday, it’s worth checking that they don’t already own it. Pay attention to the types of plants they usually collect — this gives you great clues about what they’ll truly love. If you’re unsure what a plant is, a quick Google image search can help you identify it… just be a little sneaky about it so you don’t spoil the surprise!
-
A lot of plant lovers told me that a cute propagator is one of the best gifts you can give. Think small vases, elegant tubes, or interesting glassware — anything that lets us grow baby plants in something as beautiful as the plant itself. Propagation stations are practical and decorative, making them a lovely, affordable present that always feels thoughtful.
-
You don’t have to buy an actual plant — or even a tool — to make a plant lover happy. There are so many thoughtful plant-themed gifts out there, from stylish propagation stations to beautiful ceramics, artwork, books, vouchers, and more. Thinking beyond the obvious opens up a whole world of unique gift ideas they’ll genuinely appreciate.
-
Sometimes you just need a quick, reliable gift — and plant shop vouchers are perfect for that. You really can’t go wrong with letting a plant lover choose exactly what they want. And yes, Jungle Floor Creative offers vouchers too!
-
Many plant lovers have a dedicated social media account just for their plants — and quite often, they keep a wishlist there too. If you’re stuck for ideas, have a quick look at their page. It’s one of the easiest ways to see exactly what they’re hoping to add to their collection.
-
Steer clear of plastic plants as gifts. Most plant lovers aren’t fans and might “turn up their noses.” Plus, they’re not great for the environment. Opt for eco-friendly, thoughtful gifts instead—they’re sure to be much more appreciated!
Plant themed creative gifts
A planty Print
There a few awesome botanical artists out there to name a few, Myself as photographer.
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.
🌸 Atelier Maurène – Resin Home Décor with a Botanical Twist
At Atelier Maurène, resin art meets delicate floral design — this small business creates stunning home décor pieces using real flowers and epoxy resin, capturing natural beauty in sculptural, lasting forms check out there insta Instagram .
Their decorative trays, coasters, and art pieces often include pressed botanicals, making them a perfect gift for someone who loves natural textures and floral design — even if they’re not after a living plant.
These pieces feel like little preserved moments from the jungle floor: each object is translucent, organic, and unique.
Choosing this kind of decor is thoughtful: it’s not just plant-themed — it’s plant beauty frozen in time, ideal for plant lovers who also appreciate handmade artistry and design-led accessories.

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.
