The holiday season is upon us, and it’s time to start shopping for gift to give to your friends and family. While there’s no shame in gifting baked goods or flowers, there’s something extra special about Christmas house plants. Unlike a typical floral arrangement or a selection of your favorite cookies, house plants last way longer and have so many additional benefits. At Bloombox Club, we’ve put together a curated assortment of holiday plants and bundles that are not only show-stoppers but are also a very thoughtful gesture that has the potential to improve well-being.
The Mini Christmas Tree:
It goes without saying that a miniature Christmas tree is the cutest way to bring joy this holiday season. Tabletop Christmas tree gifts are perfect for friends, family, coworkers, and even acquaintances. A small Christmas tree is just the right thing to brighten up someone’s holiday and make a home feel like a winter wonderland.
