Why Choose Our Christmas Plants for Gifts?

Christmas plants make thoughtful presents that also stay fresh for a long time. They are more than seasonal décor, bringing joy over the holidays and into the new year. With so many to choose from, it is easy to find a Christmas plant gift that feels personal and gets remembered long after the wrapping is gone.

  1. Suits everyone: A safe pick for office Secret Santa, neighbours, friends or family.
  2. Plenty of choice: Pick from festive evergreens, Christmas flowering plants like poinsettia, cyclamen and amaryllis, or easy indoor plants such as a Christmas cactus.
  3. Ready to give: Plants arrive wrapped in hessian bags with a festive bow, so there is nothing left for you to do.
  4. A personal touch: Add your own gift message and send it straight to your loved one for easy, hands-off gifting.

The Lasting Appeal of Christmas Plant Gifts

Christmas plant gifts are more than festive décor. Here is what makes them worth sending:

  • They create memories: A living gift grows and changes, so it reminds your loved ones of the gesture long after Christmas.
  • They are kinder on waste: Many of our plants can be kept for seasons to come, which beats short-lived flowers.
  • They look good all year: From winter blooms to evergreen foliage, these plants keep a home feeling warm and welcoming.

A poinsettia brings the classic red and green of the season. A Christmas cactus flowers right around the holidays and can live for years with barely any effort. Cyclamen gives you bright winter colour on a windowsill, and an amaryllis sends up a tall, showy bloom that is hard to miss. For something greener, our indoor flowering plants and house plants make easy, low-fuss houseplants for Christmas that hold their looks through the darker months.

Who to Gift

Not sure who a Christmas plant gift suits? Honestly, almost anyone on your list. From close family to the colleague you never know what to buy for, a living gift lands well. Here are the people it works best for.

  • Loved ones who want something that lasts
  • Colleagues or clients, as a seasonal thank-you
  • Friends and neighbours, to spread a bit of festive cheer
  • Hosts and hostesses, as a nice change from the usual flowers

A Christmas plant gift is more than a quick festive surprise. Unlike cut flowers, our plants stay fresh and keep their colour long after the holidays, so they act as a lasting reminder of the sender. That is why many people now send plants as Christmas gifts instead of a card or chocolates.

Christmas Plant Gift Delivery

We send Christmas plants for delivery to mainland addresses, so the gift reaches your family or friends wherever they are. Each plant is secured in its packaging to protect the foliage and blooms, so it turns up healthy and full of festive cheer rather than knocked about in transit. Every gift also comes with simple care notes, so the person receiving it knows exactly what to do next.

Choose your delivery date at checkout, which helps when you want the gift to land close to the big day rather than weeks early. Our gift-wrapped plants arrive presented, so there is no wrapping left for you to do. Add the recipient's address, and we deliver straight to them, which makes plant delivery for Christmas one less thing to carry when you cannot be there to hand it over yourself.

Ready to send something that outlasts the wrapping paper? Browse our full range of Christmas plants, pick the one that suits the person, and we will get it delivered. Not sure which to choose? Get in touch, and we will point you in the right direction.

Frequently Asked Questions

The best Christmas plant gifts look good on arrival and keep going afterwards. That usually means a festive flowering plant like poinsettia, cyclamen, or amaryllis, or an easy evergreen. Looking for “impact” on Christmas morning? Pick something in bloom. Prefer one that lasts years? A Christmas cactus or houseplant works. We post Christmas plants UK-wide.
If the person does not garden, choose a plant that looks after itself. Easy-care houseplants for Christmas, like a peace lily, Christmas cactus or foliage plant, cope with a bit of neglect. These make ideal Christmas plant gifts for beginners, needing little watering or feeding. When in doubt, an indoor plant beats a fussy outdoor one.
We carry a wide range of Christmas indoor plants, from festive flowering types to green foliage. You will find poinsettia, cyclamen, amaryllis and the well-loved Christmas cactus. For something quieter, our indoor flowering plants and house plants make great Christmas plants indoors. Most need little care and suit flats, homes and offices alike.
Yes. Poinsettia, cyclamen and amaryllis are three of the most popular festive picks, and we stock them as Christmas gift plants while supplies last. Poinsettia gives the classic red and green look, cyclamen flowers for weeks on a cool windowsill; and amaryllis makes a real statement. Order your Christmas flowering plants early, as stock moves quickly.
Yes. You can send a Christmas plant gift straight to whoever it is for, even at a different address. At checkout, enter the recipient's delivery details, and we post the plant to them. This suits sending Christmas plants by post across the country. We pack every order to protect it, and you can choose a delivery date.
Yes. Add a personal message at checkout, and we include it with the plant on delivery, so you can say hello even from a distance. A short festive note turns a simple plant into a more personal gift. Your message goes with the order, so the recipient sees it when they unwrap their Christmas present plants.
Yes. Our Christmas plant gifts are sent ready to hand over. Many come in festive packaging, and our gift-wrapped plants arrive presented, so there is no wrapping left to do. The plant is secured for the journey and then good to display once unboxed. Whether it is a flowering plant, a Christmas planter gift or a houseplant, it looks the part.
It depends on the plant, but most outlast cut flowers by far. A cyclamen or Christmas cactus can flower for weeks, then return next year with a little care. An amaryllis bulb can be saved and grown again, and foliage houseplants last for years. That is the appeal of giving plants as Christmas gifts. Care notes are included
For a colleague or client, choose something tidy, easy to care for and not too personal. A foliage plant, an orchid or a flowering plant works well on a desk. These make sensible Christmas gift plants for the workplace, as they look smart and survive office conditions. Add a short message and send it to their office or home.
A keen gardener appreciates a plant with more character. Think an amaryllis bulb they can grow on, an unusual indoor plant, or an evergreen to plant out later. They enjoy the process as much as the flower, so a plant they can nurture makes a thoughtful Christmas plant gift. You can be more adventurous than with a beginner.
Plenty of our Christmas plant gifts suit flats and smaller homes. Compact options like a cyclamen, a small Christmas cactus or a mini houseplant bring festive colour without taking over a room. These work as Christmas pot plants on a windowsill or shelf and move around easily. If light is short, choose a tough foliage plant that copes with shade.
