Christmas gift guide for plant lovers - Shop Small this year!
The Christmas Seasons in upon us!
What a year. I can hardly believe we made it this far, let alone to Christmas. But it’s fast approaching and most of us will have to shop online if we want to get all our Christmas shopping done. Do not despair, you can find a lot of wonderful gifts online while supporting independent sellers.
To help you discover talented makers and make your Christmas shopping easy, I’ve compiled a gift guide to help you shop for the plant lovers.
From print to jewellery, I left no stone unturned when looking for the best gift ideas for your loved-ones.
Plant accessories for the home proud
With gorgeous plant stands and hangers to elevate plants and showcase their beauty, this is a great gift option for any indoor garden owner.
With a wide range of colours and finishes, you are sure to find the perfect piece for that wahoo effect on Christmas morning.
Each piece is handmade in London with care and can be customised.
Art and prints
If you are worried about buying anything alive online, why not opt for a lovely plant and garden inspired print.
It’s a great way to brighten up even the darkest rooms where real plants might struggle to survive. It adds a touch of greenery without any risk of real plants dying .
Here are two of my favourite plant prints.
Red Face Print makes fantastic colourful location prints for Londoners and what could be more perfect than a Kew garden picture to complement any botanical homes.
The other fantastic print for the plant addict is by Franka Makes Patterns. With vibrant colours, it helps create that jungle effect.
Floral crockery
Fancy cup sets make for wonderful Christmas gifts. Jinny Ngui creates beautiful nature inspired china pieces for the perfect afternoon tea at home with the family.
Show how much you care with pieces that will stay in the family for years to come.
Handcrafted plant jewellery
Jewellery is always a big hit for Christmas and these two makers bring their love of plants into their work in the best way possible.
Micapeet recreated the most realistic and gorgeous tropical plant leaves in jewellery form. From calathea to monstera, in metal or wood, her work is a plant lover’s dream. Simply stunning.
With her love of nature, Lizzy Chambers goes one step further and grows some of the plants she uses to create her elegant keepsake jewellery. Find a variety of flowers and leaves pieces or go bespoke for a very special Christmas gift.
