Choose The Best Gift From Plantsie

When it comes to gift-giving, plants are a great option. They’re festive, they last a long time, and they can be enjoyed by the recipient for months or even years after you give them. Plantsie is located in Calgary and we offer plant gift baskets for your family, friends, and loved ones! Here are five reasons why you should get plants as a gift.

They Bring Life to Any Room

Plants are a great way to add life to any space, whether it’s a home, office, or even a hospital room. A plant can brighten up a room and make it feel more inviting. They also help purify the air, which is always a bonus.

They’re a Long-Lasting Gift

Unlike flowers, which only last a few days, plants can last for weeks, months, or even years. The recipient of your plant gift can enjoy it long after the holiday season is over.

They’re Easy to Care For

One of the best things about giving plants as gifts is that they’re easy to care for. Most plants only need to be watered once a week, and they can be placed in a sunny spot or a shady area, depending on the plant.

They’re Affordable

Plants make great gifts because they’re very affordable. You can find beautiful plants at your local nursery or grocery store for less than $20.

They Make a Great Conversation Starter

Plants are a great conversation starter because they’re living, breathing things that need care and attention. When you give a plant as a gift, you can start a conversation about how to take care of it and what type of plant it is. Plants are a great way to connect with people and make new friends.

But with so many different types of plants to choose from, it can be tough to know which one is the best fit for the occasion. Here are a few tips to help you pick the perfect plant gift:

Consider the occasion: Is this a birthday, holiday, or other special event? If so, you’ll want to choose a plant that fits the occasion. For example, a festive poinsettia would be great for Christmas, while a blooming orchid would make a beautiful gift for a birthday.

Think about the recipient: What kind of plant would the recipient like? If they’re not particularly green-thumbed, you’ll want to choose a low-maintenance option that’s easy to care for. Or if they’re allergic to pollen, a plant that doesn’t produce flowers would be a better choice.

Pick a plant that’s in season: Seasonal plants are often more affordable and easier to find than out-of-season options. So if you’re looking for a springtime gift, consider a blooming bulb like a daffodil or tulip. Or for a winter gift, an evergreen tree or holly bush would be a festive option.

Choose a personalised plant: If you really want to make the gift extra special, pick a plant that can be personalised with the recipient’s name or initials. A monogrammed planter or pot is a great way to add a personal touch.

Choose the right size: Not sure how big the recipient’s home or office is? A small potted plant is always a safe bet. But if you know they have plenty of space, you could go for a larger option like a tree or shrub.

With these tips in mind, you’re sure to choose the perfect plant gift for any occasion. If you’re looking for a gift basket that is unique, long-lasting, and easy to care for, then plants are the perfect option. They bring life to any room, and they make a great conversation starter. So next time you’re looking for a gift, consider giving a plant. Plantsie offers gift baskets in Calgary to help you with your needs. Contact us today!

Are You Ready To Buy Plants Online?

There is a new way to delight the people you want to send delivery or gift to by shopping for a plant online that can be personalized into the perfect gift. You simply visit our website or plant shop in Calgary, make your selections and you’ll have a lovely gift that’s made for your intended recipient!

Buying this type of plant online can feel a bit strange at first because you’re really compiling all of the components for a personal gift. It’s very similar to going to a teddy bear building or wreath-making session but instead of doing it in person, you make all of your choices online. We do offer the option to come to our plant shop in Calgary, but most of our customers don’t have time for that so they make their orders online. Our website has been set up to make online selections as easy as possible.

When you come to our website (or plant shop) to create a Planstie, here are the options you’ll have a chance to choose:

● Plant type - All of the plants we have available are online. You can see what they look like and even read about what the plant symbolizes which can add to the personalized nature of this gift. You can review the plant’s care requirements and if they have any concerns such as not being safe for pets. This info is invaluable in choosing the right plant. It also makes it easier to buy online because this info is right at hand versus in the plant shop where it can be harder to locate.

● Planter or Pot - You can also choose the shape, color, and texture of the pot that the plant will come in. There are various selections you can make based on the plant you’ve chosen and where it will be kept by the person you are sending it to.

● Name and Persona - You can also name the Plantsie yourself and choose from one of our pre-selected personas. This is great when you’re sending the plant to a friend or to your Mom. There are notes already made to express your appreciation and the name is cut onto a piece of wood (similar to a popsicle stick) and added to the planter.

● Additions - You can also choose from a variety of other additions such as adding another pop of personality with a logo or message on the additional sticks. 

When you have made all of your online selections, we assemble your Plantsie and wrap it in fully recyclable materials. In fact, everything that comes with your Plantsie is either recyclable or compostable. The plant lover in your life will love this added benefit!

If you are not ready to do all of this online (it’s quick and simple, we promise), you can absolutely come into our plant shop to choose in-person or to even have someone on our team assist you with suggestions. If you are placing a larger gift order such as for several clients or a bridal party, we can also chat over the phone or in-person to make the process faster and easier.
