Do you know that one person in your life for whom you always struggle to buy a gift every holiday season? That person who just seems to have everything they need? Then try giving them something unique — a gift that keeps on giving, the potted plant.

These may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Christmas, but they’re the ideal gift for most. They’re beautiful, a great hobby, and a wonderful addition to any home.

Not convinced? Here are our six reasons to gift plants during holidays.

Versatile

One of the hardest parts of getting a gift (especially when you have many people on your list) is finding the right one to match everyone’s tastes.

The wide range of plant species and styles that Unbeleafable offers can help you find the perfect pick for the people in your life. This helps give your gift a thoughtful and personal touch. We have plants for every lifestyle: from tabletop plants to spruce up that workaholic friend’s desk, to pet-friendly plants for your dog and cat-loving family.

Provide Aesthetic Appeal

Our plants are pretty versatile — they can fit into almost every kind of aesthetic under the sun. Whatever the recipient’s personality, and whichever style they choose to decorate their home in, there’s sure to be an indoor plant that matches them.

Aside from their versatile style, they also have loads of natural appeal. They provide bursts of color, vibrance, and texture into any space they’re set in. When you give a nice plant gift to your friend, they can place them on their side tables, bookshelves or countertops, to help to tie together the décor in their home.

Give a Fulfilling Experience

Giving your friends and family plants is giving them a chance to take care of a living thing. This presents a potentially fulfilling experience for them. Nurturing plants and setting up a care routine can help their mental wellbeing, especially for the elderly, or those struggling with depression. Watching their gifts grow after Christmas provides a sense of joy and companionship, much like caring for a pet.

Even recipients who claim they have a “black thumb” can find the experience of owning a plant enjoyable, as there are plenty of hardy, low-maintenance plants from Unbeleafable that you can give them this Christmas.

Offer Multiple Health Benefits

It’s a well-known fact that plants can improve the air quality of your home. But, did you know they also give plenty of mental health benefits, as well? Being in a space full of green has powerful therapeutic effects. Many people experience a calming and stress-relieving effect around nature, which can be provided by even the simplest potted plant.

This may be something that you’re interested in giving, especially since everyone is stuck at home for months on end. Giving your loved one a plant as their Christmas gift also has the bonus of improving their health for the coming year.

Can be Affordable and Low Maintenance

Gifting a plant can be easy, affordable, and doesn’t require any fancy shipping or wrapping — especially with Unbeleafable’s online shopping and delivery services.

Plus, plant gifts last far longer than flower bouquets, meaning you’ll be giving the most value for your money. Lastly, you can customize your gift with our plant accessories and add ons, which help make your gift more personalized and heartfelt.

Meaningful

Like flowers, potted plants have a language of their own. Each plant in the Unbeleafable store means something different and can send a message to your chosen recipient.

Poinsettia

Considered as the official flower during Christmas or the holiday festivities in the Philippines, the poinsettia is another beautiful flowering plant you can add to your growing collection. Tracing its origins from a popular Mexican legend, the poinsettia has found its way in the hearts of plant lovers to-date for its beautiful crimson-pinkish hue. Its lush green stem and foliage add a stunning color contrast, giving an unmistakable yuletide vibe.

Cypress Tree

Don’t have space in your home for a full-blown Christmas tree? The Cypress Tree makes for a perfect alternative. More than just the usual plant gift this Christmas, the cypress tree distinguishes itself by its miniature-Christmas tree appearance. Any plant enthusiast will love it as it is, or for decorating with various display-worthy ornaments.

Lucky Bamboo

Symbolizes wealth and luck (hence their name). The number of intertwining layers of the Lucky Bamboo plant represents different things as well. Two layers represent prosperity in love, three layers represent prosperity in a long and happy life, and five layers represent prosperity in wealth. This is an auspicious gift to give when someone is starting a new chapter in life — a perfect gift to give someone during Christmas before the new year starts!

Peace Lily Plant

Topped with fragrant flowers, and lush foliage, this is a stunning plant to gift. It means rebirth, tranquility, purity, prosperity. Giving a peace lily often sends the message of wishing the recipient peace and support through difficult times. This plant is a thoughtful way of expressing sympathy and well wishes, especially during these trying times.

Philodendron Plant

There are many varieties of this plant, but generally, they symbolize love for nature. This makes them a great gift for the plantitos and plantitas in your life. Our gift recommendation is the Heartleaf Philodendron, as they also symbolize personal growth, abundance, and good health. This is a good choice if the recipient is going through a major life event, or has been making steps for personal improvement.

Money Plant

Money plants symbolize good fortune. They are a way of wishing someone luck and happiness in their chosen field or job. This is a flawless gift for those in your life who are hoping to start a new career, business, investment, or some other endeavor.

Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera, known as the “plant of immortality,” is known for its rejuvenating effects on our skin. Symbolically, it stands for beauty, healing, protection, and nourishment. It’s a great choice for someone interested in skincare and holistic health practices.

Gifting plants can mean many things, and there are many different messages that you can choose from. They’re a great way to express your emotions and sentiments about your loved ones in a subtle way.

Key Takeaway

There are many reasons to gift plants during holidays — they’re simply a wonderful thing to give to friends and family. They’re meaningful, provide great benefits to our health, brighten up our homes, and more.
