Gift Guide for the Plant Lady (or Gentleman)

Gift Guide for the Plant Lady (or Gentleman)

The gift guides keep rolling right along. Last week was for the guys, and this week is all about the plant ladies (or gentlemen)! More plants might be the obvious choice, but there are tons of beautiful and unique options to keep those jungles thriving.

Gift Guide for the Plant Lady (or Gentleman)

.01 Hanging Faux String of Pearls | $40
Maybe you’re looking for a gift for an aspirational plant parent or the giftee has a dark corner that could definitely use a plant. This hanging option is all ready to roll!

.02 Self Watering Planter | $34+
Perfect for the traveling plant parent. Help them take care of their babies when a watering schedule can be hard to nail down.

.03 Hemleva Plant Lady is the New Cat Lady Enamel Pin | $12
The classic Plant Lady gift. High quality and lets people know to take your friend to the nearest greenhouse ASAP. If you wish there was an option for guys, check out this watering can “Plant Dad” pin.

.04 Little Book of House Plants and Other Greenery | $8
An entire coffee table book dedicated to beautiful houseplant photography. Yes, please.

.05 How to Raise a Plant: and Make It Love You Back | $13
Still pretty photography, but this one is written more as a guide for each plant.

.06 Luxury Grow Light | $150+ (use code: CURATE15 for 15% off)
You already know how much I love my Soltech Lights. They’re the highest quality, indoor grow lights that feel like a security blanket for keeping plants alive and happy.

.07 Porcelain Plant Picks | $10 each
Punny plant picks. I’ll take one of each!

.08 Alja Horvat Society6 Print | $40+
Alja Horvat has the most beautiful plant people prints in different color palettes so you can find the perfect one.

.09 Carbon Steel Garden Scissors | $14
Are pruning scissors that much better than utility scissors? Plant ladies say yes and recommend a steel blade for durability.

.10 Clay Drainage Pebbles | $6
Longer lasting than perlite, you can use these as a layer on the bottom of a hole with no drainage to keep roots from drowning. (Though if you want to add holes, check out how here)

.11 Large Outdoor Planter | $60+
Giant modern planters are a pain to find at an affordable cost. These ceramic ones are hands down the best <$100 option I’ve found.

.12 Propagation Cone | $8
Propagation is the key to quickly growing a jungle. These little cones let cuttings hover safely above water until their roots are established. If you really want to splurge, you can gift a solid brass cone for $105.

.13 Black Watering Can | $25
Fancy watering cans are a Pinterest staple for those #plantsheflies.

.14 Two Modern Glass Terrariums | $16
Gift solo to let them build their own or create an entire tiny scape as part of the gift.

Look twice; it’s no split image, it’s my one of my Look twice; it’s no split image, it’s my one of my favorite parts from the  #haileyhome condo. There Michael had his desk shoved in the corner of our small bedroom. As much as I wanted a light and airy feel, the desk always felt unintentionally “floaty”. With just paint and shelves, his desk went from an afterthought to a defined workspace with it’s own voice that felt distinct yet still a part of the room.

In our current house, I’m looking back at this project since next on my list will be Michael’s office! Michael inspired me with his 5 year anniversary gift to me (a nice furniture piece- he definitely knows me ☺️) so my gift to him will be wood shelves for his new office, plus a little space makeover. 

Excited to take on a small project while the kitchen reno is underway. It’ll feel nice to feel project progress somewhere and get hands on for the first time since Cade arrived ☺️
I set up a baby studio for Cade’s “month by month” I set up a baby studio for Cade’s “month by month” shots and there’s no way I’m taking it down for the rest of the year 😅 

It’s worth the space it takes up though. Capturing his growth and personality feels like the greatest privilege. I can’t believe there were only 3 weeks between his newborn and 1 month photos 🥲
Room is ready. Just waiting on baby boy to make hi Room is ready. Just waiting on baby boy to make his appearance. 

I’ll take any and all inducing tips 😅
#ad #cricutmade #cricutbright360 I’ve been auditi #ad #cricutmade #cricutbright360 
I’ve been auditioning different rooms around the new house for my studio space. Some have great storage, some have better natural light, but NONE have over headlight lighting. I didn’t think much of it until I tried crafting after work and realized, dang, I really can’t see anything 😅. I tried to make it work with different table lamps, photography lighting, even grow lights (spoiler: do not attempt unless you like being blinded). It wasn’t great. I figured I’d eventually get a proper crafting light, but wasn’t thrilled with the limited, and frankly ugly, options. 

I bet you picked up on this from the photo, but I finally found THE solution. @cricut just released their Cricut Bright 360 task lamps and it’s everything I could have ever dreamed of! I’ve been putting this lamp through its paces for a few weeks with nesting DIYs and will have a full review on the blog soon!
