Giving gifts is the best, and this my friends is the time to do it!

When shopping this holiday season, make sure it's meaningful - something they love, and something you love to give. Giving a gift is the way we communicate our care and gratitude for others.

We can't talk about gift giving without feeling a bit stressed and overwhelmed. Buying gifts for everyone on your list is a big undertaking, and it can also be expensive. Believe me though, it really doesn't matter how much you spend. It is truly is the thought that counts.

I have a few strategies that might make gift giving more approachable. First, think of a theme. For example, you could say, this year eveyone on my list gets ______. Your theme could be thrifted items, locally made or locally purchased items, a grab bag of your favorite teas, snacks, and chocolates, only things you find at your favorite store, and always, something that brings you joy.

This week, I took a few minutes to shop in the greenhouse for gifts that check all of the boxes!

Spread the cheer with the gift of gear. What a great way to spread comfort and joy while shopping at your greenhouse home. All of our graphics are created in house by our talented team!

Take the guesswork out of plant care with these 3 essentials of plant care; fast growth, healthy leaves, and strong, resilient roots.

We the Wild's Neem Oil protects and shines. This really cool formulation not only repels and smothers insects, it also tamps down fungal infections while offering a unique blend of nutrients derived from vermicastings. Vermicastings are basically worm waste which contain all sorts of beneficial bacteria that increases your plants natural immunity. Essensial oils make this product smell just like lemons while giving your leaves a nice sheen and shine.

The Grow Concentrate is a potent blend of 18+ organic elements is diverted from landfill, lovingly processed by Australian worms, and brewed for a plantpowering kick! Organic trace nutrients provides broad spectrum nutrition in a safe and harmless form. Mycorrhizal Fungi builds a beneficial relationship between the roots and the soil. NPK ratio: 3:1:4.

Strong roots = a healthy houseplant! The Enrich Formula contains beneficial fungi that spring to action, enriching soil and building stronger, more resilient roots. Your houseplants will enjoy improved nutrition and less abiotic stress. 10 groups of beneficial fungi and 3 billion microorganisms release into the soil to help plants better absorb nutrients. Included mycorrhizal fungi acts as the plants ‘messenger', meaning your plant builds a symbiotic relationship with its soil. Enrich transforms your soil into a teeming ecosystem, ripe for growth! What could be better?!

Sol Soils for the win!

Sol Soils' Chunky Houseplant Mix was developed by our friends at Sol Soils right here in Minneapolis. This mix contains the perfect amount of organic matter to ensure your houseplants get all the moisture and nutrients they need to thrive and also utilizes recycled coconut chips and coir, an otherwise wasted by-product of the coconut industry. As a soil component, the ground husks offer excellent aeration and moisture retention properties while providing a fast drainage to reduce the risk of soggy soil and root-rot. Make sure to check out all the mixes, soil covers, and amendments.

Bare Bones Tools

The all time best garden tool ever is the Bare Bones Hori Hori Knife. The weight feels so good in your hands, and it can do almost anything in the garden including digging, chopping, transplanting, and weeding. Plus you feel like a bad a** using it!

I absolutely love a good vintage find. Shopping for vintage pottery is a natural high for me. The thrill of the find is so real, and when you put that kind of energy into picking out an item, the recipient will feel it too. Vintage pots hold a story that are all their own and when paired with a plant, gift giving magic occurs. I'm not sure the orgins of the frog vase shown here, but it is one of my favorites of all time. Taje a peak at the moon globe on the right - a really creative gift for the person who has everything. The detail of the topography gives new meaning to the term, "dark side of the moon!"
