At Gardenista, we are constantly encountering beautiful, clever products for the plant-obsessed—and a select few of these end up on our holiday wish lists. Here are 7 cool gift ideas we’ve bookmarked for ourselves:
Above: For the vegetarian on your list, Laura suggests this Organic 6-Pack Bundle of dried beans; $59 at beanstory.
Above: Last year, Margot wrote a post on these porcelain stem candle holders that pair well with fruits and vegetables She’s still thinking about them. Each Porcelain Stem comes with 8 celebration candles; £35 at Wax Atelier. Above: Fan wants a hand rake, and this one by Sophie Conran is both functional and beautiful; $36 at Flora Animalia. Above: When arborists hear about trees that need to be chopped down in the Bay Area, they may call woodworker Luke Garrison, who turns freshly felled wood into beautiful pieces for the home. “I have a fantastic tray of his,” says Kier. “He is talented, local, and very kind.” Go here to find out where he sells his wares. Above: While working on a future post about indoor bowl plantings (check back next week), Clare came across this fun Round Inlay Chequered Planter by Tooka; $173. Above: “I love bandanas these days: I douse them in cold water and wear them around my neck when I’m outside working or walking and it’s hot out,” says Margot, who is eyeing this Spruce Jigsaw Bandana by Block Shop; $35. Above: “I’m going to offer a shameless plug of Perfect Earth’s collab with Lingua Franca,” says Melissa. Each cashmere sweater ($380) is emblazoned with one of Perfect Earth’s eco catchphrases: “Kiss My Grass,” “Talk Dirt to Me,” and “Toxic-Free.” Perfect Earth receives 10% of the profits to support our mission.
This holiday season, we hope you’ll also consider supporting nonprofits that are working to help our planet and the animals who share it with us. Here are four such organizations, suggested by contributor Kendra Wilson:
Audubon Lights Out Program: advocates for the minimizing of nighttime lighting so that birds, bats, insects can go about their business.
Green City Force: trains young people in the New York City Housing Authority for careers in green infrastructure.
Buglife (UK): a conservation group dedicated arthropods.
Homegrown National Park: mission to increase biodiversity at the grassroots level—where we work and live.
