Stocking Filler Gifts for Plant Loving Friends and Family
It’s the most wonderful time of the year – twinkling lights, decorated trees everywhere and Christmas tunes floating up from Edinburgh’s famous market. If you’ve sorted the main presents but still need stocking fillers, small gifts or last-minute treats, we’ve curated our best Christmas gifts and stocking fillers for plant lovers, foodies, crafters and city gardeners. Shop in store at 8b St Vincent Street or online for UK delivery.
Spotlight Gift: Wax Amaryllis Bulbs
Looking for an easy, show-stopping Christmas flower gift? Our Wax Amaryllis Bulbs are the perfect low-maintenance gift – no soil, no watering, just weeks of dramatic blooms straight from the waxed bulb. A brilliant festive centrepiece and a premium stocking filler for plant lovers who want instant impact with zero faff.
The Plant Lover
We have so many great gifts for plant lovers it’s hard to choose just a few.
Plant care tools are always a win. For watering, we recommend Haws – the oldest watering can maker in the world and built to last. The lightweight Langley Sprinkler – one pint slips neatly into a stocking and comes in sage green, dark green and black.
Not sure when to water? Willy the Worm is a tiny terracotta helper that dries out with the compost so you know when it’s time. Keep foliage dust-free with Leaf Love Gloves to boost photosynthesis. For spring growth, add Root Buddies or a bottle of Liquid Gold Leaf.
Round it out with a brilliant book – The Houseplant Rescuer is our go-to for troubleshooting and caring for indoor plants.
The grow urban Lover
For friends who love our shop – coffee regulars and plant people alike – bring a little grow urban home.
Fill rooms with botanical scent using our grow urban candles – soya wax, ~50 hour burn – in Limeleaf & Ginger, Black Pomegranate, Tomato & Blackcurrant or Rosemary, Sage & Thyme. Prefer something smaller? Try our incense sticks.
Help them carry inevitable plant purchases with a grow urban tote bag printed with our slogan – drink coffee. buy plants. repeat – or tuck in the matching enamel pin. Still unsure? A grow urban gift card from £10 always lands well, digital or in-store.
The Foodie
Gift a bag of grow urban coffee – locally roasted by Mr Eion – and add a Reusable Cup to earn 50p off takeaway hot drinks.
For cookbook lovers, try The Scottish Cookbook. Bakers will love the Scottish Baking Bible by Liz Ashworth with graded recipes for every level.
Ready to grow your own? Gift a Mini Grow Kit from The Plant Gift Co – choose Kitchen Herbs Basil, Herbal Tea Peppermint or Flaming Hot Chillies. Each kit includes seeds, markers, eco-coir and an easy guide.
The City Gardener
Help them get started outdoors with colourful, wildlife-friendly options. Our Wildflower Seedball Tubes add instant impact and support pollinators – pick Common Poppy, Cornflower, Forget-Me-Not, Oxeye Daisy or Red Campion. For stockings, choose Happy Christmas Seed Boxes with six mixed seed balls.
Know they have a favourite variety in mind? Explore our wider seed range in store. Don’t forget the birds – the Apple Bird Feeder makes a sweet winter treat for feathered friends.
Practical gifts also go down well. Niwaki Gardening Gloves are breathable with great grip – sizes run small so start at medium for small hands. Build a simple tool-care bundle with the Mini Crean Mate for resin removal, a Sharpening Stone and Camellia Oil to protect blades.
The Animal Lover
As a dog-friendly plant and coffee shop we know Edinburgh is packed with animal lovers. Pad out stockings with Mini Plant Pot Yoga Cats and Adorable Dogs Plant Markers. For something a touch sleeker, our brass Plant Animals range runs from Cats to Bush Babies.
Cater to cat-crazy pals with a Mini Grow Kit – add Cat Grass or Cat Nip so their feline can snack on home-grown greens.
For a feel-good boost, tuck in The Little Frog’s Guide to Self-Care, Be More Dog or Be More Cat. Don’t miss our felt animal decorations – Scottish wildlife, favourite pets and festive dinosaurs make charming stocking fillers.
The Crafter
DIY gifts always land well at Christmas. Choose our DIY Macrame Kit or a DIY Flower Press for a crafty night in. Make your own decorations with East End Press Paper Chains in yellow & green or pink & red, then add a Wooden Pop-Out Christmas card to build into a bauble after the message is read.
For makers’ hands, slip in our Lime, Basil & Mandarin grow urban hand cream – a perfect self-care stocking filler after a busy season of making.
