In fact, we’ve done the digging for you (you know we had to say it!) and curated a selection of interesting finds for every type of gardener, plant and nature lover on your list, no matter what their interests.

Whether your recipient has houseplants in every room, loves fresh flowers, or savors a morning working in the garden, there’s something for everyone. We’ve found ideas ranging from grow lights and hand forged tools for indoor and outdoor gardening to subscription bouquet and garden box gifts that will make them think of you every month upon arrival. We've even found a houseplant that's the first new genus introduced in decades. These gift ideas work for all your plant and nature lover for birthdays, holidays, housewarming gifts, and even “just because.” You’ll likely find something to treat yourself as well as your recipient. After all, don't you deserve a little something fabulous, too?

Ahead, our top picks for gifts for people who love plants:

Now your recipient can grow herbs, flowers such as lavender, salad greens, and small tomato plants in this beautiful indoor garden. The sleek design of this stainless steel hydroponic garden with integrated LED grow light makes it an attractive addition to any countertop. The system tells you when to water and when to add food, so it's basically foolproof.

These handsome steel pruners with beech handles are made in France and are designed to fit perfectly in the hand. They'll cut up to 7.8 inches in diameter, so they're ideal for most basic pruning tasks in the garden.

If your recipient adores fresh flowers (and who doesn't?), give a three-, six-, or 12-month subscription of fabulous bouquets. They offer a similar subscription for houseplants. The company focuses on reducing waste in the floral industry by utilizing sustainable sources and farm-direct flowers. Through their floral donation directory, they also facilitate the upcycling of flowers after events so hosts can give them to nonprofit organizations such as senior centers and women's shelters.

Finally, a plant grow light that isn't ugly! Most grow lights don't blend well with existing decor. But this stylish light, made in the U.S., is designed to maximize growth and looks good, too. It comes with all mounting hardware, a fabric cord, and timer to grow healthy plants, even in dark corners.

Every gardener and nature lover knows the importance of bees! This stunning wrist pouch is made of velvet and adorned with hand-embroidered bees, a bugle bead stripe and fringe, and a leather wrist strap. Plus, 10% of profits from the company's bee-themed products are donated to a conservation trust to support Pollinator Pathway.

These mules feel great because they're lightweight and have tons of arch support. Plus, they come in an array of colors and are made from green certified bio-based EVA. They're ideal for a trip outdoors to water plants, for light gardening, or even to walk the dog in dewy grass.

Now you can use vertical space to display houseplants, while offering them the light they need. This handsome frame stands upright or can be mounted on the wall. The built-in LED grow light provides full spectrum light for any plant, and all necessary mounting hardware is included.

Give your recipient a little plant joy each month with a six- or 12-month subscription that includes a seasonal live plant, potting soil, container, and detailed planting and care instructions. It's a fun hands-0n gift for any plant lover.

Your plant lover already has a pothos, a Monstera or snake plant. But what about something a little different? This petite citrus tree, a cross between a mandarin orange and a kumquat, will yield fragrant white flowers and tiny edible oranges if given plenty of bright light. It's handsome indoors or as a patio plant in a potager or Mediterranean-style garden.

These charming bejeweled ornaments, sold separately, come in three designs: a single Wellie, garden trowel or watering can. Made of zinc and glass with a velvet ribbon, they're sure to delight your favorite gardener. Give them alone in their organza gift bag, or use them as a pretty package topper.

This traditional pruner is a hardcore gardener's dream with a carbon steel blade and curved handle to provide more control. It's handy for tucking into your pocket and using for pruning shrubs and fruit trees, and its design allows for minimal downward pressure. Handmade in Pennsylvania by a company that's been in business for over a century, this handsome knife will last a lifetime.

This succulent garden in a planter box is full of colorful, easy-care succulents. These low-maintenance plants add modern style to any room that has bright light (or pair it with a grow light gift). The set comes with an eyedropper for easy watering.

As pretty as it is practical, this copper watering can, made in England, has a perfectly balanced feel in the hand and a curved spout for easy watering of indoor plants. The solid brass watering rose can be removed for a solid stream instead of a shower.

If your recipient has lots of plants, these adjustable wooden plant stands can organize and accommodate pots from 8 to 12 inches wide. The stand is available in three neutral colors and has a minimalist design that fits in any decor. Pair it with a floor plant for an extra-special gift.

Surprise your recipient with three, six, or 12 months of different flowering bulbs in bloom. For example, they may receive daffodils and tulips in spring, lilies in summer and amaryllis in winter. They'll remember you every time a new gift arrives.

This stainless and carbon steel garden knife trio offers the right knife for every garden chore from sawing to pruning. The beech handles are brightly colored so your recipient will never set them down and lose them in the garden.

Geo, short for Geogenanthus ciliatus, is the first new genus introduced in the houseplant world for decades! (Refresher: A genus is a biological classification of plants that contain similar characteristics). Your recipient will be wowed by this gorgeous plant that has thick, glossy rounded leaves that are nearly black with purple undersides.

Wheel-thrown in Vermont, these rustic pots take their inspiration from the rings of a tree. They come in three sizes including 5.25-, 6.5-, and 8-inch diameters. Elevate the gift even further by including live culinary herb plants.

For any plant lover who also appreciates fine craftsmanship, these hand-forged tools, made in Montana, are made of steel with black walnut wood handles. They're practical and beautiful for both indoor and outdoor gardening.

If your plant lover enjoys outdoor gardening, this belt pouch will become invaluable. It's more convenient and less bulky than a gardening apron or tool belt, yet there's plenty of room to stash tools, gloves and seed packets. Never again will your recipient lose a pair of pruners in the garden.
