Looking for a unique, thoughtful gift that will grow with time? Skip the ordinary and bring a touch of nature to your loved ones with the perfect pot and plant pairing.  

 

Whether you’re shopping for a seasoned plant enthusiast or someone just starting their indoor jungle, a stylish pot can transform any space and make for a truly memorable gift. From classic elegance to modern minimalism, we’ve curated a guide to help you find the ideal combination for every personality and style. Dive in and discover our top picks for gifting greenery with style and purpose! Most recommended plants will be available from your local nursery. 

Hanging Planters 

The best plant match for a hanging planter will always be a trailing plant, something that will cascade down the sides and soften the look of the pot itself. Succulents are a modern favorite, and there are plenty to choose from—rhipsalis, donkey’s tail, and chain of hearts all make stunning options. For something a little different, try Peporomia polybotrya (also known as Raindrop Peperomia), which doesn’t trail as much but still offers a beautiful, unique look. 

These succulents aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, and if you’re shopping for someone with more classical tastes, a flowering plant like hoya, with its lovely waxy flowers, might be more suitable. Or, for a more resilient option, Aptenia cordifolia (baby sun rose) is a tough little succulent that produces charming pink flowers, perfect for even the most difficult-to-shop-for loved ones. 

90 Degrees Ribbed Range 

The ribbed range is designed to make a bold statement—whether standing alone as a striking focal point or grouped together for added impact. These pots are versatile, but our top recommendation is to pair them with tropical plants or softwood perennials. While they can accommodate a variety of plants, be cautious with large, woody trees, as they may lose balance unless properly secured in taller pots. 

 

80 Degrees Low Bowls 

With sizes ranging from tabletop-friendly 470mm bowls to 760mm statement pieces, these shallow pots are ideal for succulents. For a bolder look, try planting a vibrant evergreen perennial, like the Kangaroo Paw, which thrives beautifully in these bowls. For a thoughtful gift, consider one of the smaller bowls filled with a mix of echeverias or other succulents as a charming coffee table centerpiece—just remember to request no drainage holes.
