Hopefully, you’re here to ditch plans for an average housewarming gift and be inspired by something fresh and thoughtful. Most of us envision homes as a place of escape, peace, productivity, and comfort. The gifts we select to support this vision can be meaningful without overdoing the occasion or your budget.
WHY PLANTS?
Plants are the perfect gift for a new home because they serve as a living, growing calendar of life’s timestamps. We can carry them with us for years and recall, “This Money Tree has grown so much since that apartment on Green Street”. Ancient Feng Shui philosophy has also emphasized the importance of plants in the home for over 6,000 years. Respectfully inviting nature indoors welcomes harmonious and positive energy into our space, leading to greater happiness, success, and health.
In addition to plants' ability to support our mental and emotional health, they also carry ancient symbolism that deepens our connection to them. Gifting greenery that symbolizes abundance, prosperity, or gratitude makes a lasting impact in the home. Compared to popular gifts like candles or wine, plants have a far longer life and greater return on our wellness and atmosphere.
WHICH PLANTS ARE BEST?
The best housewarming plants will match the recipient’s capacity for care, namely their schedule and habits. Don’t overthink this, though. Each plant ships with a Care Card, plus our Plant Specialist is available to support the recipient through any future concerns.
Another route for choosing the perfect plant is to find one with symbolism that will resonate with the recipient and wish them well. There’s a match for every person and home - whether a colleague, sibling, partner or friend!
