Indoor Plant Grow Kit
A grow kit is the perfect all-in-one gift to get anyone started. They have kits for the beginner plant lover and also for those with a green thumb. The best part of the plant kit is everything is included and it makes a pretty package gift.
Here is a list of my top picks for indoor plant kits
- Indoor Herb Garden Starter Kit
- Hydroponics Growing System

Plant Watering Gifts
We all know that watering your plants is a must, so why not do it in style. The options are unlimited when it comes to a watering can, mister, watering spikes, and even a water sensor. I recommend that you give one that is stylish so they can sit out as decor instead of hiding away because it does not match the decor or looks cheap.
Not only is the gift you give important, but the way you package and present the gift is also another way to make your gift extra special. You can add a small plant or fresh flowers to the watering can and skip the gift wrapping. Along with the watering bulbs and moisture meter, those can easily be added to the live plant and also skip the gift wrapping.
Plant Subscription Services
They have a monthly subscription service for almost everything nowadays. So I was not surprised to discover a subscription service for plant lovers. This has to be my favorite idea, and this is a BIG hint for my family if they are wondering what to get me!
The House Plant Box is at the top of my list. They have an affordable monthly subscription, quarterly options, and a gift subscription. They have pet-friendly plant options, air plants, succulents and so much more. All the subscriptions include free shipping so no extra fees tacked on to your monthly price.
Here is a list of some of the top plant subscription services I discovered.

Hey Dede, thank you for sharing all of this with us. I have a friend that is a huge plant lover and enjoys spending time in the garden. I want to send her a plant or two for her birthday, but it’s a bit complicated because I fear the plants will fade due to warm weather and delivery time. As a solution, I am thinking about artificial flowers instead, a few bougainvillea flowers to be specific.
Is this a good idea or should I go for real plants instead to avoid hurting her feelings?
