Do you have any green thumbs or plant lovers in the family? Are you looking to get creative when gift-giving this holiday season? I’ve taken some time to pick out some incredible gardening products on the market at the moment that are bound to bring joy to your plant-loving loved ones. So, rather than buying another house plant in a pretty ceramic pot, here are some fantastic products that would be a perfect gift for any plant nerd.
First on the list are these nifty kneelers that double as a knee cushion as well as a garden chair. Although we gardeners love to work hard in our gardens, our backs shouldn’t have to pay the price. The Easy Kneeler is ideal for anyone that spends a significant amount of time with their plants and struggles with knee or back problems.

For those that are looking to grow herbs and smaller plants throughout the winter, an indoor grow light set up is an incredible gift to give. From the smaller countertop models to the large triple tier grow shelves, gifting this indoor gardening gift will blow any plant lover away. I’ve been eyeing these babies for a long time and highly recommend Gardener’s Supply for the ultimate indoor grower.
In line with indoor growing, there are a multitude of awesome indoor microgreen growing kits. From water-based and simple to soil-based with a lot of variety, whatever style of indoor microgreen growing you are after, there is a brand out there for your loved one. I’ve chosen a few based on some particular qualities that I find attractive in a microgreens kit. Hamama provides pre-made seed quilts that you place into the tray, fill with water, and boom: microgreens. Hamama is straight forward, easy to manage, but might prove to be a bit expensive to replace the seed quilts if you want to grow microgreens frequently. MiniEco is a cute, perfect little gift-style grow kit as it comes in a small round pot and great for those interested in exploring the world of microgreens for the first time. If you are looking for something very aesthetically pleasing, the Microgreen Pros Organic kit is the way to go. Lastly, the Grow Book Countertop option is truly a bang for your buck kind of microgreen kit. The kit not only includes LED lights, but it also allows for a large amount of variety in what kind of microgreens you grow. Ultimately, any indoor kit you get your green thumb will be a great gift option this holiday season.

Lastly, if you are looking to blow your plant lover’s mind and really splurge on them this year, then getting them a plant tower is the ultimate gift of love. I highly recommend either Lettuce Grow or Tower Garden. Both are very high-quality towers, relatively easy to use and maintain, and have incredible results in producing plenty of food. Although they are an investment, they worth every penny if you are looking to up your growing quantity and have a constant flow of greens and crops.
