Happy Holidays: Friend and Neighbor Gift idea

Hi TT&J peeps! I am Stacy and I blog at Stacy Risenmay – Not Just A Housewife. I am so excited to share with you a super simple gift idea for your friends, coworkers, and neighbors.

friend and neighbor gift - plants

This idea actually comes from my book called Natural Accents. It is full of easy, affordable (sometimes FREE) projects for your home. Many of them would make great gifts like this glass planter.

Anytime you have a plant, you need to pot it in something that will allow the water to drain. In most cases this mean a hole in the bottom of the pot or the container. But you can also provide drainage by adding rocks to the bottom. This is a good option if you use a clear glass container as your pot.

Add some pea gravel to the bottom of the container. To avoid and green gunk from growing over time add some carbon next before you add the soil. It is inexpensive and is found in the finsh tank section of any store that sells pet supplies. I got mine at Walmart.

Add enough soil that the plant will have some room to grow and stretch it’s roots.

I’ve created some gift tags that you can print out and add to the containers.

    Thanks for the Holiday gift idea. I love making terrariums but didn’t think to do them as gifts until I saw this. I got a bunch of inexpensive stemless wine glasses and will make them in those. That way whoever kills their poor little succulent (may do air plants -harder to kill) can at least have some wine! 😉

    Hi! Where do you get your plants … what are they called?

      I usually use succulent plants. I buy them at Home Depot. They almost always have a nice selection of them. 🙂
