Christmas is around the corner, and at The Little Botanical, we’re positively buzzing. There’s something magical about this season—twinkly lights, cosy corners, and the smell of pine trees filling our homes. Moreover, one of the very best parts? Finding gifts that make people smile.

But we get it—holiday shopping can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve put together a Christmas Gift Guide packed with inspiration from our team of plant lovers, homeware enthusiasts, and festive-curious elves. Whether you’re shopping for a plant-lover, a bestie, or just a little treat for yourself, we’ve got ideas that bring joy, greenery, and a touch of Christmas sparkle.

Before we dive into the team’s favourites, here’s a little secret: gifts that combine style, practicality, and a hint of fun are always the winners. For example,  mini living trees with pom-pom garlands, succulent gangs with gold-tipped leaves, or a terrarium that’s practically a tiny winter wonderland.

These gifts aren’t just beautiful, in fact, they’re experiences in themselves. Every plant, every carefully curated gift box, tells a story. Imagine this: gifting someone a Red and Pink Striped Pepin Plant Care Babysitter: it’s fun, quirky, and takes the guesswork out of watering. Similarly,  watch their face light up at a Christmas Miranda Succulent, with snowy-tipped leaves sparkling like frost on a winter morning.

We asked our team to share their current obsessions and as you’ll see you might notice a few surprises!

Morag, our Co-Founder: “The Pepin Babysitter is genius. It’s quirky, colourful, and saves you from overwatering—basically a little plant superhero in a pot.”

Trista, Operations Manager: “The Christmas Miranda Succulent is my festive crush. Its snowy tips instantly make any shelf feel merry.”

Julie, Projects & Customer Services: “The Mini Christmas Tree with Pom-Pom Garland is my ultimate cosy-corner essential. Pink ceramic, fluffy pom-poms… I just want to curl up beside it with a hot chocolate.”

Maya, Little Shop Assistant: “Euphrates Watering Can & Calathea Set is practical but beautiful—perfect for people who love plants and style.”

Nicola, New Product Development: “Statement plants like the Areca Palm and Lemon & Lime Dracaena are gifts that say, ‘Wow!’ every time you walk into a room.”

Holly, Little Shop Assistant: “Our Poinsettia Duo is festive, chic, and makes a statement without being over the top—classic Christmas vibes.”

We all have those tricky-to-shop-for people, don’t we? The friend who has everything, the relative who insists they don’t need anything, or the colleague who’s impossible to read. But don’t worry — we’ve made gifting beautifully easy this year. Whether it’s sparkly succulents for Mum, mini plant gangs for your best friend, or a low-maintenance leafy pick for the hard-to-buy-for guy, we’ve got something for everyone on your list — and everything in between

Christmas is the perfect excuse to spoil Mum — after all, she deserves a little extra love (and sparkle) this season. Think succulent gangs in festive gold, mini Christmas trees, or copper-tipped succulents that bring a twinkle to every corner of her home.

If you’re after a showstopper for the table, Morag’s pick, the Christmas Table Succulent Gang, is a stunning choice that’ll take centre stage all season long. Trista loves the classic Red Poinsettia — timeless, bold, and bursting with festive cheer. And for a touch of variety, Julie’s favourite, the Christmas Trio Succulent House, is a delightful mix of texture and charm.

And if you really want to make her smile? Pair any of these green beauties with our new Shortbread Hazelnut & White Chocolate Tin — the ultimate indulgent treat for cosy festive afternoons with a cuppa.

Because Mum deserves gifts that are just as beautiful, thoughtful, and full of warmth as she is.

Your BFF deserves something unexpected, because let’s face it, they’ve been there through it all: the coffee catch-ups, the late-night chats, and the endless voice notes. This Christmas, treat them to a gift that’s as fabulous as they are

How about our trusted favourite, Heart succulent and Chococo Chocolate combo for the friend who loves a cosy night in? It’s the perfect pairing of sweet and stylish. Or go for a Forever Green Candle Set — think botanical bliss, soothing scents, and a touch of everyday luxury. For something that’ll keep on giving, a trailing Satin Pothos makes a stunning choice; its silvery leaves will brighten their space (and their mood) long after the decorations come down.

Because the best gifts for besties are those that blend fun, green goodness, and just the right sprinkle of luxury.

Looking for gifts that are a little more elegant?

Think soft pink reactive-glaze pots, marble-trio succulents, or a vibrant Jungle Orchid. These are gifts that feel considered and still give major festive impact.

She might be the one with impeccable taste or the one who quietly makes everything look effortless — either way, this Christmas she deserves something a little extra special. Think of gifts that feel both refined and fun: chic, plant‑loving, and subtly luxurious.

Alternatively, how about something like the beautiful Leopard Print Olla — a handcrafted ceramic self-waterer  that not only looks gorgeous but also works as a smart self‑watering friend, so she can pamper her plants without any fuss.

We all know one — the guy who claims he doesn’t need anything, shrugs when you ask for ideas, and somehow manages to already own all the latest gadgets. This year, skip the socks and surprise him with something a little greener.

The  Chrstimas Sheflie bundle, 5 mini easy-care plants in ceramic pots. It’s effortlessly cool and perfect to introduce a little bit Christmas  to brighten up his desk or bedside table — low-maintenance but full of style.

Or, for a touch of sleek sophistication, the Large Round Terrarium is the ideal gift, an instant centrepiece  (and bonus points: it’s practically impossible to kill). If he loves a bit of self-care, pair it with our scented candle,  Pomegranate & Berry Candle for the ultimate chill-out combo.

Because even the hardest-to-shop-for guys deserve a gift that looks good, feels thoughtful, and lasts well beyond Christmas Day.

It’s easy to forget about ourselves in the festive frenzy, but here at TLB, we think it’s just as important to treat yourself. So, why not indulge in a little festive greenery to brighten your home?

Morag’s pick is the Red Poinsettia and Succulent Plant Gang. A beautiful pop of red with gold-tipped succulents for an extra dash of sparkle.

Trista loves the Mini Christmas Tree & Succulent Gang. It’s a gorgeous bundle to style up her Christmas table-scape.

Nicola’s treat to herself would be the Baby Blue Christmas Tree in our signature cotton and seagrass belly basket. Simple, stylish, and oh-so-festive.

Our final pick? The brand new Give a Little Hug Gift Set. A linen covered hot water bottle paired with a Little Botanical plant in a matching pot and a box of heart shaped eco-conscious chocolates. It’s hands down THE perfect gift—or self-gift!

Here’s the secret: plants and thoughtful homeware are gifts that keep on giving. Every time someone waters a succulent, lights a candle, or unwraps a festive treat, they remember you. And with our curated collections—including terrariums, mini trees, stylish pots, and even seasonal shortbread—there’s something to delight everyone on your list.

Our Little Botanical Christmas Gift Guide is designed to make your festive shopping easier, prettier, and more joyful. From cosy corners to sparkling tables, thoughtful gifts to little indulgences, our selection is packed with plant magic and seasonal charm.

So grab a cup of something warm, get inspired, and let’s make this Christmas green, gorgeous, and unforgettable.

With love,
Team TLB xx
