Gifts for the Aspiring Plant Lady Without a Green Thumb

On some level, we all wish we could be plant ladies, with their thriving monstera plants and carefully curated selection of succulents and macrame hangers.

But in reality, not all of us are cut out for that life, and that one friend who can’t even keep a cactus alive is among this group. If you’re tired of seeing her plants turn brown in like two days, give her some help with our collection of plant-themed gifts, perfect for letting her own that plant lady aesthetic without touching, you know, actual greenery. Check out some of our fave picks below!

Wall Hangings

Recurring plant motifs, landscape photography and a combo of abstracted leaves and organic shapes never looked so good. These textured, macrame-inspired wall hangings will let your friend lean into that boho lifestyle. Plus, they add life to any wall, drawing the eye up and away from that neglected planter in the corner.

Throw Pillows

Throw pillows are probably one of the easiest ways to make an impact in any space. They’re also the best way to get as much of something you love (read: repeating plant patterns) into that space without looking (too) crazy. Go for lush, green leaves to really spruce things up or a monochrome pattern for a minimalist touch.

Coffee Mugs

Let your friend show off their love of plants everyday with a fresh coffee mug to hold their favorite hot beverage (we’re thinking it’s a nice blooming tea for extra plant lady vibes). These are guaranteed to be used at some point and are a nice way to spruce up the often neglected kitchen with some permanent plant life.

Coasters

Coasters are the perfect pairing for the above mugs, not to mention an unexpected way (or another excuse) for your friend to scatter more plant life throughout her home. They’re also good for supporting miniature (fake) plants for a cute touch. Not convinced yet? Check out the price point! Almost too good to be true. Almost.
