17. Faux Palm Plant

A faux plant on a plant lovers gift list? Sure, because not every corner has enough sunlight to have a plant and a corner without a plant is a sad corner indeed. This ultra-realistic Majestic Palm plant stands at three feet tall so it’s large enough to set on the floor without needing a stand.

This would make a great gift for anyone who works in an office that doesn’t get a lot of natural light. They can still be surrounded by greenery that will lift their mood.

18. Chrome Plant Mister

Here’s a gift that will give your friend a stylish way to spritz their small plants and succulents. This mister is made of stainless steel that is finished with a high-shine chrome coating.

It holds 10 ounces of water and stands six inches tall, which makes it the ideal size to leave out next to their plant pots as a cool piece of decor. The fine mist nozzle will make sure delicate plants aren’t overwatered or get brown spots from water that has pooled on the leaves.

19. Modern Watering Can

This gift is something every plant parent needs. Even if they already have a watering can, they’ll want to get rid of it and replace it with this one.
