We’re gonna keep it 100 percent real: Gift-giving is a v challenging task, especially if you’re shopping for a person who fixates on very specific things. For instance, if you have someone special in your life who, IDK, is absolutely and positively obsessed with plants, you might not want to go the obvious route by getting them a money tree or some sort of succulent arrangement…because they probs already have one. Instead, let's get creative, people! It IS possible!

And as your shopping fairy godmothers, we've taken it upon ourselves to help you find gift ideas for plant lovers that aren’t just a bouquet of flowers from Trader Joe's, lol. Below, you'll find the presents of their horticultural dreams, like botanical-inspired art prints, a unique self-watering pot, a super cute set of weeding gloves, an ~on brand~ pair of PJs, and so much more. And trust me, they don't need to add any more green bbs to their collection—unless it's the cutest heart plant ever or the Calamondin citrus fruit tree we’re recommending on this list—wink wink.

So if you've been stressing about what to buy for your favorite plant lover, stop and shop through our green thumb-approved gift guide for *chef’s kiss* options we promise they’ll love!
