Christmas is almost here and you still don’t know what to put in your favorite green thumb’s stocking!
No worries, we’ve got seven brilliant stocking stuffers for the crazy plant person in your life. (Don’t worry; we wouldn’t dream of suggesting a plant. We all know how picky those plant parents can be.) Instead, we’ve rounded up a curated collection of small gifts that will put a smile on someone’s face on Christmas morning.
Propagation Pals
Okay, these little guys are handy and charming to boot. They happily perch on the edge of a glass or jar and patiently hold your stem or leaf cuttings for you while they root. They hold the cutting at the perfect height, so it’s less likely to rot.
Propagating stem cuttings never looked so cute. They come in a pack of three in shades of green.
Soil Moisture Meter
When it comes to keeping houseplants looking good, any plant parent will tell you watering is the hardest thing to get right. Having a trusty soil moisture meter (or a couple) is a great way to take the guesswork out of caring for even the most finicky plants.
These inexpensive soil moisture meters are the perfect size for St. Nick to tuck into a stocking.
Plant-Safe Magnets
If your plant lover has a quirky sense of humor, these little magnets are sure to give them a laugh.
Have you ever received the side-eye from a houseplant? Slip these funny plant magnets in someone’s stocking, and you just might. From cute to funny to slightly terrifying, these magnets will cause countless double-takes and leave your favorite plant parent grinning.
(These look especially funny on snake plants.)
Plant Refrigerator Magnets
Of course, you don’t have to stop with magnets on plants. These lovely refrigerator magnets celebrate living that houseplant life. From an albino monstera to a ZZ plant to the classic fiddle leaf fern, you’ll find everyone’s favorite houseplants in this collection.
Bendable Moss Poles
Anyone worth their custom-blended-potting-mix who loves houseplants has a climbing plant or two in their collection. These moss poles are a great way to keep climbing plants on the up and up, so to speak. Unlike most moss poles, these are flexible, meaning you can easily bend them to accommodate your plant and train it to grow the way you would like.
Made with natural coconut fiber to encourage climbing plants to grab hold.
Funny Plant Labels
“Feeling cute, might die later.” These adorable plant labels help give voice to the many moods of your average houseplant. There’s always a diva that’s on the verge of dying if they don’t get the perfect care yet grows like a weed in the wild.
Give these plant labels to a plant parent, and they can tag their favorite baby and their problem child.
Sometimes I Wet My Plants Socks
Who doesn’t love a good pun? These socks will either have them chuckling or groaning and rolling their eyes. Either way, they’ll love ‘em.
These cute socks are a funny reminder of the lengths we go to in order to keep our green babies alive, and, well. Sometimes, that means wetting our plants.
Gifts that acknowledge our loved ones’ hobbies are such a great way to show you care. And everyone appreciates a thoughtful gift. Whether you need a small gift or have an entire stocking to fill, these fun ideas are sure to delight the plant lover on your shopping list.
