Holiday Gifts for Indoor Gardeners

Holiday Gifts for Indoor Gardeners

Need some gifts for indoor gardeners? We’ve made a list and, yeah, checked it twice.

Sure, retailers have been reminding us since Halloween that the winter holidays are approaching, but now they really are. Before you know it, Black Friday will be upon us and the mad rush and crush at brick and mortar stores.

Shop online, instead (Cyber Monday is coming up as well). We’ll get you started with some ideas in the weeks to come and we kick it off with gift ideas for indoor gardeners.

Have you ever heard a gardener, indoor or outdoor, that says they have enough plants? Not me either. If all else fails, a plant will win your recipient’s heart. I promise.

It’s one thing to pick up a cute succulent at the local gardening center. But indoor gardeners love a challenge as much as those who garden outdoors. With this gift, your recipient will be able to grow succulents from seed. Everything they need is included in the kit, including:

  • 10 Cactus Seeds and 10 Succulent Seeds
  • 4 Planters
  • 4 Drip Trays
  • 4 Plant Markers
  • Compressed Soil
  • Easy to Follow Gardening Guide

Sometimes, simplicity is perfection. That’s how we feel about this planter set. Small, 2″ size is perfect for baby plants and succulents.

Kanso Designs uses agricultural by-products, such as coffee, coconut husks and others, to create these little beauties. These are composed of bamboo fibre, wheat husk and coffee bean husk. Each has a drainage hole and they come with the saucers.

They sell larger pots as well.

We gifted this set to a farmhouse decor-crazy friend recently for her birthday and she uses it for plants. They look seriously adorable in these metal lanterns.  

Koo-z Fabric Flower Pot Covers

SHOP NOW

What a great idea, right? No need to get rid of the plastic nursery pots anymore when you can just cover them with these gorgeous pot covers.

They’re made of outdoor PVC fabric so they’re perfect for those plants that live on the patio in the spring and summer but come indoors when the weather cools.

Fits 2 Gallon pots and can be power washed and even bleached. They come in several different colors as well. Another amazing gift for indoor gardeners!

Precision Titanium Blade Pruner

SHOP NOW

Great stocking stuffer gift here! These small snips are amazing. Made of surgical stainless steel, the blade tip is slightly curved to get at those hard-to-reach stems and leaves. They’re light weight as well, include a safety lock and a hangable holster to keep them in when they aren’t in use.

Hydroponic Micro-Greens Growing KitSHOP NOW

Offered by our friends at Urban Leaf, this is one amazing gift for the indoor gardener. He or she can grow microgreens right on the kitchen counter without the mess of pots and soil. They offer four colors, green, beige, black and rose.

Since it’s a kit, the following is included in the purchase to get your gift recipient off to a strong start:

  • 3 refill pads (about 2-week seed supply)
  • 1 ceramic bowl
  • 1 steel frame
  • LED grow lights
  • 1 steel tray holder
  • 3 wick holders
  • 3 seed pad trays
  • 3 wicks

The recipient will be up and running immediately and munching down healthy microgreens within 7 to 10 days!

Walnut Grow Frames

SHOP NOW

We love Modern Botanical products and we think your giftee will as well. These walnut grow frames come with the glass vases, which “.. allow plants to happily grow in the same frame for years,” according to the pros at MoBo.

Plants as wall art! What a concept. 

The frames also come in maple and the website offers plants (with a 120 day growth guarantee) to go in these cuties as well!

Anybody who tends to hover over their plants, watering can in hand, needs one of these. Overwatering, after all, is the most common cause of houseplant deaths.

SHOP NOW

This Bendable Coco Coir Pole is a solid metal tube that can be screwed into others at both ends. So you can lengthen it as the plant grows taller. The metal stake can also be twisted off and be purchased with or without the pole.

We love the way it bends!

25″ Measurements: 0.8in Diameter x 18in height (8in metal stake height)
32″ Measurements: 0.8in Diameter x 24in height (8in metal stake height)
40″ Measurements: 0.8in Diameter x 32in height (8in metal stake height)

Adjustable Dark Bamboo Plant Stand

SHOP NOW

No, the plant and pot are not included. The gift we chose here from Kanso Designs, is the mid-century design stand. Crafted from bamboo and hand finished. It measures 

  • Closed Measurements: 8in Width x 13.5in Height (4.5in top | 7.5in bottom height)
  • Extended Measurements: 12in Width x 13.5in Height (4.5in top | 7.5in bottom height)

Best of all, it can be turned upside down so the recipient of this gift will have the choice of two different heights. Genius!

4-Tier Mini Greenhouse  with Carry Bag

SHOP NOW

Not all indoor gardeners grow tropicals and succulents. For many reasons, some grow their favorite food crops indoors. And for that, nothing beats an indoor greenhouse. Used with shelves or without (for taller plants, such as staked tomatoes or beans).

Why one needs a carrying case is another matter. Perhaps it makes a nifty storage case for when the greenhouse isn’t in use?

Metal Hanging Moon Planter

SHOP NOW

We love, love, love this hanging crescent moon planter. Made of powder coated metal and rated for outdoor as well as indoor, imagine it with some solar twinkle lights attached!

It comes with a 25.5-inch chain with an adjustable clip.

It doesn’t come with the plants, but don’t let that stop you from gifting it. The possibilities are brilliant with this.

Wardian Case

SHOP NOW

We call them “terrariums” today, but I love the original name, dating back to the early 19th century. It was named for its inventor, Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward of London and used to transport live plants long distances by ship.

This particular Wardian case gets rave reviews from buyers, with most saying they are super impressed by it’s quality construction. It is made of metal and glass with a brown powder-coat finish. It’s not sealed like many terrariums, but has a “…slight space between glass and metal,” according to the product’s description.

This Wardian case measures 14 inches square by 49 inches tall. The description warns that “Moss, props and terrarium plants not included, terrarium only.”

Many an indoor gardener would love to have this item in their collection. I know I would!

SHOP NOW

Buy a couple of airplants, pop them in these adorable glass birds and you have yourself one amazing gift!
