Whoever you’re choosing to shower with love this year, indoor plants are a great choice for a Valentine’s Day gift. There’s an abundance of choice, from large to small, leafy to spiky, patterned to plain so you’re sure to find something that your recipient will adore and they will last much longer than the traditional bouquet of cut flowers.

We have collated the beautiful botanicals in our range that we think are perfect for saying I love you. So, take a look at our specially curated Valentine’s range and send some love this year with living greenery. We’ve even included some helpful filters; gifts for her, gifts for him, gifts for friends and gifts for them to make it even easier to choose the perfect Valentine’s Day present.

A Sweet Heart for Your Sweetheart

Now, we may be biased here at team TLB, but we think that indoor plants make fab gifts for any occasion, so any of our green beauties will make a great Valentine’s Day present. There are some though, that are particularly perfect for the season of love, so we’re kicking off our rundown of Valentine’s Day plant present ideas with these heartfelt picks. Go on, eat your heart out.

Hearts, hearts and more hearts are the theme of the season. Mother Nature, in all her wondrous wisdom, gives us an array of plants in the shape of gorgeous green hearts. What could be more perfect than a sweet heart-shaped plant for your sweetheart?

Ceropegia Woodii, aptly known as the String of Hearts is a beautiful trailing plant, boasting an abundance of cascading vines, adorned with several, small, heart-shaped leaves in a mottled pale green hue. Potted in your choice of our bespoke pink and copper or grey and copper ceramics, this houseplant will make a stunning gift that is sure to delight your loved one.

For an oh-so-cute mini houseplant gift, take a look at our Hoya Kerrii hearts, available as a single or a double heart, these gorgeous, vibrant green, heart-shaped plants are a perfect way to show your love. They come potted in a choice of nine bespoke ceramics so you’re sure to find one that perfectly suits your lucky recipient. We particularly love the pretty pink reactive glazed pot for a Valentine’s pick, the soft pink hue is just lovely for the season of love.

We love these Hoya Kerrii hearts so much that we’ve included them in some fab bundles to help you take your Valentine’s gifting up a notch and really make your loved one swoon.

The Love Heart Succulent Gang combines a single and a double Hoya Kerrii with a gorgeously ghostly Lilacina succulent. Potted in either our pink and copper or pink glazed ceramics, this divine trio bring all the loved-up vibes.

To really go big on these little heart-shaped beauties, treat your Valentine to the Bundle of Hearts gift set which bundles not two, not three, but five of these oh-so-cute hearts for a truly heartfelt and impactful gift. They’ll be winging their way to you (or straight to your loved one) ready potted in our signature metallic-dipped ceramics; choose between the soft pink and copper for a more feminine vibe or the bold black and gold colour combo for a more masculine edge.

Send your Valentine head over heels with the Gift of Love which pairs a mini single Hoya Kerrii Heart with the beautiful Jungle Orchid; a stunning flowering orchid planted with a gorgeous Chamaedorea. This fab duo brings a mood-brightening pop of colour and a tropical twist, perfect for helping your Valentine through these last few weeks of winter. Alternatively, if you’d prefer, the Jungle Orchid can hold its own as a stunning gift all by itself.

For a Valentine’s gift that is both stylish and useful, this next pick is for you. Check out the Heart Succulent and Watering Can Gift Set. Our Tigris Mini Watering Can in copper perfectly complements the grey and copper ceramic of the Hoya Kerrii Heart, no need to relegate this super chic accessory to the cupboard. Stylish and functional in equal measure, the little watering can is made from durable stainless steel and has an ergonomic handle to make keeping your green beauties happy oh-so-simple.

Bundles of love

If the plant gangs featuring the Hoya Kerrii Heart have whetted your appetite but you think they’re not quite right for your desired recipient, fear not, we have more bundles of love for you to pick from.

The Succulent Plant Gang is a fab pick with their easy-care credentials. This trio might be relatively small in size but they will bring masses of texture and style with their individual shapes and colours. What’s more, they are available in a range of ceramics, including our signature metallic-dipped pots and our all-new reactive glazed pots. We are particularly fond of this set in the pink or black glazed pots for all the stylish botanical feels.

For a soft and feminine vibe, you’ll love the Pretty Pink Plant Gang, a super little mix of succulents and cacti all potted in our pink and copper ceramics. You can deliver your loved one easy-care botanicals in one very classy package, we’re sure they’ll love you for it.

You’ll find another fab selection of succulents and cacti in our Plant Shelfie Bundle. This gang of five green beauties come potted in a mixture of our signature black and gold and grey and copper ceramics and they will add an instant pop of style to a bare shelf or windowsill.

Our final pick from our range of bundles is the Orchid & Succulent in Concrete Pots. This swanky set has masses of texture and colour and simply oozes urban cool, a perfect gift for the trendsetter in your (love) life.

Who Do You Burn For?

As this recent cold spell seems intent on reminding us – it is still very much wintertime (brr) and so, we are still very much in candle season (yay).

Our newly launched luxury candle gift sets, which pair each of our four gorgeous scents with a lovely little botanical, are perfectly matched and will make a truly luxurious Valentine’s gift for your perfect match.

Each fragrance is hand-poured into one of our bespoke reactive glazed ceramics and the plant pairing is potted to match.

There are four bespoke and sensual candles to choose from, they are all hand-poured here in the UK and designed to take you on a glorious, sensory journey.

The Pink Cashmere Candle Gift Set pairs our Aloe & Jasmine luxury candle with a gorgeous aloe succulent. Both are packaged in our soft pink, reactive glaze ceramics. This delicate fragrance is designed to calm and soothe the mind, a perfect match for the medicinal qualities of the aloe succulent.

Beautifully potted in our black glazed pots, the Back to Black Candle Gift Set combines our invigorating Pomegranate & Berry scent with the distinctive Haworthia succulent. This set is particularly lovely as a gift for a Valentine in need of a little pick me up. Let those gorgeous musky, fruity notes work their magic.

If you’re looking to send someone a virtual hug this Valentine’s Day, then the Touch of Grey Candle Gift Set is the one to choose. The rich, woody scent of the Sandalwood & Cedar candle is as comforting as a warm hug on a cold day and the almost ghostly Lilacina succulent is a beauty to behold. Together they make a super stylish pair potted in our grey glazed ceramics.

And finally, take a look at our Forever Green Luxury Candle Gift Set, which combines the uplifting Wild Fig & Ginger fragrance with a classic Miranda succulent, all packaged in our stunning green reactive glazed ceramics. A super, deluxe gift for that special someone.

Thoughtful Upgrades

Are you looking to make your Valentine’s gift extra special this year? The TLB team have got some ideas to inspire you.

Now, we know that a box of chocolates are often a go-to, classic present on Valentine’s Day, and why not, we couldn’t agree more that a sweet treat makes a fab gift for pretty much any occasion! The good news is that here at TLB we stock a fab range of chocolate bars from the wonderful Arthouse Unlimited. We have five unique and delicious flavours to choose from that you can simply add to your chosen plant gift. Or alternatively, we have very helpfully created a ready-made Succulent Duo & Chocolate Gift Set, the hardest part will be deciding which yummy flavour will please your Valentine the most!

And the upgrade inspo doesn’t stop there. Did you know that we can now personalise our plant pots? Could there be any better way to sweep your Valentine off of their feet than by gifting them a completely unique, thoughtful green gift that is tailor-made for them?

Look for the ‘personalise me’ icon and get creative, the only limitation is keeping your message to 16 characters or less. To help you get your thoughtful, creative juices flowing, here are some messages that we think work particularly well for a Valentine’s message; ‘I love you’ (imaginative, we know!), ‘I pick you’, ‘love grows here’. Or perhaps you could embrace the traditional spirit of Valentine’s and go cryptic with ‘guess who?’ or ‘#secret admirer’.

And as a parting thought, we just happened to notice that ‘Marry me please?’ fits nicely within the character limit…

So, that brings us to the end of our Valentine’s Day gift guide. We hope we’ve brought you some fun inspiration for your gifting this year and we wish you a Valentine’s Day filled with love and laughter, whoever you may be celebrating with.
