It's officially that time of year again, wishlists getting crossed off and stockings getting stuffed. Some of us are early holiday shoppers and others (guilty) wait until the very last minute to get all the items crossed off! But you know what, sometimes we run out of ideas of what to get as gifts and that's totally fair!
Fortunately for you, we've compiled a list of arguably the best gift out there... PLANTS! Whether you're getting plants for an avid plant lover or a total novice, we can ensure you that there is a plant for every skill level, which will allow you to lock down the "best gift of the year" award!
Gifting someone a piece of nature is a surefire way to show someone you care! Even if that someone is yourself!
10. Aloe Vera
9.Snake Plant (Moonshine)
8. Air Plant Party Pack
Snake plants are one of the most popular house plants due to their low maintenance and ability to adapt to handle low to direct sunlight. Snake Plants thrive on neglect!
It is rare, but Snake Plants can flower! Flowering in Snake Plants is generally a result of stress from being very root-bound.
Did you know that air plants belong to the same family (Bromeliaceae) as the pineapple? It's true!

6. Xerographica
5. Rubber Plant

Tillandsia Xerographica is the king of air plants. Native to southern Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, this sun-loving species grow to be quite massive compared to other air plants.
When in bloom, Tillandsia Xerographic displays large, complex flowering bracts in yellow and red and produces violet-coloured flowers.
4. Echeveria Essentials Bundle
3. Watermelon Peperomia
2. Philodendron Birkin
Fun Fact
When mature, all Echeveria have the ability to bloom in the summer, producing shoots of the most beautiful and brightly colored flowers stemming from the center of the rosette
Monstera Deliciosa, also known as Swiss Cheese Plant or Split-leaf Philodendron is one of the most popular house plants due to its exotic appearance. As the Monstera Deliciosa matures, its leaves produce splits and holes (called fenestrations). The older it grows, the more fenestrations it produces!
Fun Fact
Monstera Deliciosa flowers and produces fruit! The fruits look like green ears of corn and are covered in hexagonal scales which drop as the fruit ripens. The fruit is edible only when completely ripe (unripened fruit contains oxalic acid). As it ripens it releases a strong scent that is sweet like pineapple and banana. The taste of the fruit is like a combination of all delicious tropical fruits - pineapple, coconut, mango, lychee, passion fruit, banana, mangosteen, strawberry and guava, giving this plant the nickname "Fruit Salad Plant"!
A quick and friendly reminder that all house plants will require sunlight in order to photosynthesize to survive. Though some can survive for a little while without sunlight, they will not thrive and will eventually die.
The plants mentioned above are a great starting point for your shady corners but you should still avoid putting them completely out of reach of any sunlight.
Happy planting! 🌿

I HIGHLY recommend anyone considering purchasing plants from Plant Collective. to do it! Not only is this an awesome nursery, but it's a small business as well so they benefit from the support. I have just ordered two more plants yesterday and I'm definitely not going to regret it.

My biggest stress has always been “how can I best care for all my plants, I’m definitely not an expert (yet). Plant Collective offers lifetime support for all plants sold so within the first week I already felt like an expert! Disclaimer, its actually quite easy to care for most of the plants 😉 —Celeste Z. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
All of the plants I ordered. 14 in total, arrived pretty much in perfect condition!! This made me quite happy. On top of the beautiful healthy plants, over the two weeks of me waiting for my plants, I got into contact with Plant Collective with certain questions and the customer service was awesome and they were super friendly and helpful.
