Why Plants and Terrariums Make the Best Christmas Gifts
Picture this: it's mid-December, you're scrolling through online stores at 11pm, and everything feels either too generic or too expensive. We've all been there. What if we told you there's a gift that's thoughtful, beautiful, and gets better with time?
Plants and terrariums are living reminders that someone cares. And honestly? They're so much better than another scented candle.
Something That Grows With Them
Here's what we love about giving plants: they're around for the long haul. Your sister waters her Marble Pothos every week and thinks of you. Your friend checks on their terrarium during their morning coffee and smiles. It's a gift that becomes part of someone's daily rhythm, something that keeps giving well into the new year.
Our terrariums are particularly brilliant for this because they genuinely look after themselves. We've built them to be forgiving—perfect for anyone who's ever said "I kill every plant I touch." The closed ecosystem does the work, so your gift brings pure joy.
Perfect for Literally Anyone
Your colleague who works from home and stares at blank walls all day? A small terrarium for their desk. Your mum who has impeccable taste but you never know what to get her? A stunning bed side table terrarium. The holiday homeowners next door who want something beautiful but low-maintenance? A self-sufficient terrarium that thrives even when they're back in Auckland.
We've seen people gift terrariums to teenagers, grandparents, and everyone in between. They just work for any age, any style, any experience level.
A Gift That Means Something
In a world where we're all trying to buy less stuff and choose more thoughtfully, plants feel right. They're naturally packaged, built to last, and genuinely improve air quality and boost wellbeing. They make people happy when they look at them.
One of our customers told us her terrarium has become her "thinking spot"—she checks on it when she needs a moment of calm during busy days. That's the kind of gift we want to give.
This Year, Give Something Living
Whether it's a tropical terrarium for someone who needs easy-care greenery, or a carefully chosen plant for the gardener in your life, you're giving more than just another present. You're giving something that grows, changes, and becomes part of their story.
