Give the gift of fresh produce with a smart garden that requires zero effort, but yields *massive* green reward.

WallyGro Eco Wall Planters
- Price: $$
Got someone on your list who has aaallll the plants, but nowhere to put ‘em? These eco-friendly wall planters add style and function to any space. Choose from a collection of colors or build your own color-coordinated pack.
And if you wanna add a little more oomph to the gift, WallyGro also offers plant kits that include a planter, plant, and potting soil.
MountainMudWorks Mushroom Ceramic Watering Spikes
- Price: $
For the plant friend who also loves to accessorize, these adorable ceramic watering spikes add a charming touch to any indoor or outdoor plant. These shrooms are more than cute though — they evenly dispense water into the soil to keep plants hydrated between waterings. That means they’re perf for your friends or fam that travel a lot and need an extra hand keeping their plants watered.
Uncommon Goods Vertical Garden Pot Hanger
- Price: $$–$$$
Who needs a new planter when you can have a garden pot hanger that fits up to eight (yes, eight!!!) plants?
Grow your loved one’s indoor or outdoor garden upward with this unique way to display and store their favorite plants. You can use these hangers indoors or outdoors — all you need is 4- or 6-inch terracotta pots to go with them.
The Sill Gift Card
- Price: $–$$$
There’s a lot of thought that goes into purchasing a new plant, from knowing which direction sunlight comes from to considering fur babies’ safety. If you’re not 100 percent sure on all these plant logistics, a gift card is the perfect solve.
We love The Sill and have had amazing experiences ordering from the site — plants always arrive well-packaged and protected. They also come with detailed instructions for getting started with your new plant bb.
Ivolador Propagation Station
- Price: $$
Propagation stations are all the rage right now, and for good reason! They make it easy to expand your plant fam with clippings and look ~amazing~ while doing it. Whether you gift the station solo or with a few of your own clippings (nothing says I love you like propagating!) this gift is sure to win over any plant lover.
Uncommon Goods Oyster Mushroom Log
- Price: $$
For the plant friend who has everything (and loves mushrooms). This mushroom log is a super fun and easy way to grow some fresh produce. You can harvest oyster mushrooms from this log for up to 3 years — so it’s truly a gift that keeps on giving.
The Magnolia Company Olive Tree Sapling
- Price: $$$
Extend an olive branch… literally. This sapling comes beautifully wrapped in a natural jute bag and green ribbon, and can be placed by a sunny window, on a porch, or even planted in the yard.
This little guy can only live in a pot for up to 6 months — so make sure your giftee has a yard to plant it in next summer once it’s outgrown its original home.

ShelbySellsCo Plant Daddy “Terra-cotta” Mug
- Price: $
Cute mugs make some of the best gifts. They’re something we all love to have, use every day, but often avoid buying for ourselves.

This is a truly unique gift that’s calming, hands-on, and will last for years to come. Each kit includes a 3-year-old tree of your choosing, a glazed container, decorative rocks, and shears to cut the bonsai to your liking.
