You might think plant lovers are the easiest to shop for—perhaps just another plant would do the trick?

Not quite. As a long-term plant enthusiast and WIRED reviewer, I can attest that while knowing your friend's collection helps, gifting another plant isn't always the best option—they might not have room or the right setting for it.

It's wiser to select gifts that reflect their current plant collection or enhance their care routines. Should you be certain they want another plant, we've included a few trusted mail-order plant options like a lucky jade or a fruit-bearing tree.

The Essential Mug for Plant Lovers

Carter Wide Plant Mug

WIRED reviewers often praise Carter mugs for their style and efficiency. They're aesthetically pleasing, retain heat remarkably, and feature a wide mouth for easy sipping. Just a heads up—this wide model isn't designed for car cupholders but is perfect for leisurely strolls, especially towards a plant shop. Its designer, Charlie Wagers, co-owns a plant store in Pittsburgh.

Everlasting Plant Gift

Lego Succulents Set

This Lego set is not just for the kids—it brightens up a spot where real plants might not flourish. While it doesn't replace live plants, it adds a splash of color and fun to any room.

Elegant Propagation Station

Propagation Tubes by Mkono

Propagation tubes make for a stylish decorative piece. These hanging variants come in different sizes and wood finishes, with an option for a stained-glass effect if placed in front of a window. Prior cleaning with hydrogen peroxide is recommended to prevent algae.

Pair these with plant cuttings from an online marketplace. The mystery and excitement of opening houseplant cuttings can feel like a gift in itself!
