A cutting from your favourite plant
Looking for a personal gift to bring when visiting someone? A cutting from your favourite houseplant is always a great choice. Not only is this gift original and sustainable, it’s also extra special because you’re sharing something that brings you joy. Give them a cutting from your Chinese Money Plant, which happily keeps producing new plant babies, or take a cutting from that beautiful Monstera. Add a card with care tips for the plant and explain why its symbolism suits the person you’re giving it to.
Make your gift even more stylish by placing the cutting in a beautiful glass vase, ceramic pot or vintage cup.

An atmospheric seasonal bouquet
A bouquet is a classic gift to bring when visiting someone, and it always goes down well. Quite rightly too, because flowers create atmosphere, genuinely make people happy and offer many other positive benefits. You can make your bouquet that little bit more special by choosing seasonal flowers. How about these spring, summer, autumn and winter flowers, for example? To earn extra brownie points, attach a handwritten card to the bouquet with a personal message or quote for the recipient.

A small vase with flowers
A beautiful miniature vase containing a few carefully chosen flowers is stylish, charming and a little different from a classic bouquet.
