My Housewarming Presents

More often than not I give home garden gifts as a present. They are perfect in every way because they grow. They are beneficial to our environment as well. They don't just beautify our surroundings; they also provide us with fresh air. Plants can make anyone feel great. Besides, I always love gardening.I tried growing all types of plants in my apartment. I planted them in terrariums, flower boxes and even in old wine crates. 

Unfortunately, gardening does not love me because none of the plants survived or perhaps I have been not paid close attention to them. My frustration in gardening is known to all my close friends and relatives which is why I always receive home garden gifts every time there is a special occasion.  I always receive live plants and kits such as Easter Wheat-grass Garden-in-a-Pail, Basil Seed Kit in Bamboo Container, and other Seed Starting Kits and Gifts That Grow which used to frustrate me.  Other than I was not good in growing plants because they die all the time, my space was limited. Unless I bring the plants to my parents'  place, the plants do not stand a chance of survival. But now that I have my own house with a great landscape and garden, I have more than enough space for all the home garden gifts. Besides, after successfully growing plants on the living wall kits, somehow I have gained enough confidence in planting.

 

I suppose the famous quote that goes the love of gardening is a seed once sown that never dies is true. I will forever be looking for different means and ways to grow plants. I know that  I will still encounter failures in growing plants along the way. But these failures cannot stop me from growing plants. Besides I still have my friends and my family who are always around when I need help in gardening. No worries.

Home Herb Garden: A Perfect Gift For Our Loveones

Choosing a birthday present for my best friend since high school is always giving me a headache. There are times that I regret being her best friend especially during special occasions such as Christmas, her birthday and their wedding anniversary because I do not know what else to give her. That’s because she already has everything she could ask for. So I always end up asking her what she wants as a present. However, she no longer wants to receive a present that she already knew. I might as well not give her anything since the essence of surprise is gone. She wants to receive a present that she will feel excited about when she opens it.

I was already thinking of baking her favorite cookies since she is on a strict diet. I was planning to ruin her diet when I remembered our last conversation that she is taking classes for cooking. Surely, she would want a home herb garden in her grand kitchen just like the ones I have in our kitchen. It is probably not an original idea since I received the home herb garden from her but I am sure that she will be surprised when she receives the same gift as well. With the help of my cousin who is very good with plants, I started an herb garden for my best friend. I bought two sets of three assorted Volcanic Rock Planters and several Seed and herb kits and ask my cousin to plant them for me. The home herb garden will be ready in a month just in time for her birthday and for the first time in a long time, I am looking forward to her birthday.

Whenever we give someone a gift, we are not only giving just any gift; we are giving a part of our self to that person. We always give it a careful thought because we want to be remembered by the person who will be receiving the gift. These are a few of the reasons why choosing a gift is hard especially if that person already has everything that money can buy. But let us not forget that the most expensive gifts are not those which can be bought by money.

Great Gift Ideas For Gardening Enthusiasts

Gardening enthusiasts love exchanging gardening ideas and tips as well as exchanging garden gifts such as seed starting kits and gifts that grow, window garden gift basket, flower pot holders and anything related to gardening. Even organic fertilizers are greatly appreciated. They also love exchanging indoor and outdoor plants and flowers. 

Seed starting kits and gifts that grow are perfect gifts for kids who are just starting to grow their own garden. This garden gift is always included in my wish list in spite of my incapability to grow and maintain a live plant. There was a time though that I have given up on growing my own garden but my ever supportive family and friends never gave up on me. They have even lavished me with different garden gifts and live plants. But as what I have mentioned in my previous blog, the seed kits were always paired with artificial plants if in case my new garden project is another failure.

Another great garden gift for a friend or family member who loves gardening is the window garden gift basket. This gift set includes a garden mini potted plants and a Window Boxes Gift Book. On top of this, is the window box gift set which includes our all time favorite sweets, chocolates and goodies which the entire family will surely love. Just keep the sweets to a moderation though. And of course, the window box which came with the gift set will look great on your window. You can use this to plant your favorite flowering plant, herbs or vegetables.

Garden gifts are much better gifts compared to gadgets and other material things because they create a lasting impression just as long as you take good care of them. They are probably high in maintenance because they require your dedication but eventually your hard work and effort will surely pay off.
