Gift Guide For Plant Lovers
Modern plant pots & other accessories that make perfect gifts
Plants are a living design element in a modern home. They add a pop of color, warmth, and texture to any space.
From hanging plants dangling by a window to small plants styled on a shelf, there are so many different ways to style plants throughout a home.
We’re rounding up some of the best gifts for plant lovers including our favorite modern plant pots, modern ceramic planters, and more pieces that make thoughtful gifts — even as a gift to yourself!
The Ferm Living Plant Box + Storage Solution
We'll start by highlighting Ferm Living’s Plant Box collection. This series of furniture and accessories started with a simple, timelessly designed plant box.
Over the years, it has evolved into a versatile storage solution that can be used throughout the home, with multiple sizes and shapes available. Made of powder-coated metal, each box is super durable and designed to last for many years. The boxes can be used both indoors and outdoors.
Customize it to your liking with various trays, dividers, and compartments. The trays turn a portion of the plant box into a surface with hidden storage below.

The Two Tier Plant Box option provides a bit of extra storage wherever you need it, which comes in handy when placed outdoors for gardening, or even indoors for books, office supplies, and plants (of course!).

The Round Plant Box preserves the clean lines and sleek look of the classic Plant Box with curved lines.

The Large Plant Box is longer and lower. We love how it can be styled with its matching tray to be used as an entryway bench with “built-in” greenery! Hide unsightly items underneath the removable tray for easy access.

Modern Plant Pots
If you’re looking to buy a simple & modern plant pot, here are a few of our favorites.
The Hasami Porcelain Planter and Saucer Set is a refreshingly simple design with tons of textured detail, plus an alluring backstory that you can share with whoever is lucky enough to receive this set as a gift!
Each piece from Hasami Porcelain is made in the Japanese town of Hasami, which has been globally known as one of the foremost pottery districts in the world. The clay used makes each Hasami Porcelain piece slightly coarse and organic to the touch. Pair this set with the matching smaller size or view additional color options here.
The Mus Plant Pot is a unique little vessel perfect for smaller plants or other assorted trinkets. Available in both a small and large size, we recommend getting one of each for a playful yet thoughtful gift.
Yield Design’s Spun Planters are a dream for plant parents. It’s a self-watering planter crafted from a single sheet of aluminum, resulting in a delicately modern design.
We love this playful peach color that contrasts so nicely with various plant colors especially when styled next to a window or on a floating shelf. The same modern planter pot is available in black or a light grey.
Hanging planter pots are a fun way to bring plants into the home. We love Ferm Living’s geometric Plant Hanger, a modern take on hanging planter design that is refreshing compared to the macrame hanging planters seen everywhere.
Made in stoneware with a natural rope suspension, this hanging planter still honors a retro feel that is balanced out by the clean geometric lines. It’s the perfect addition to a modern home. Shown here is the medium size, but a lower size is also available depending on what type of plants you have.
If you’re looking to make a statement with your gift, the Hourglass Pots and Planters are a great choice. With three varying sizes, these blackened metal, matte black pieces provide both an elevated stand and a roomy container for plants to grow.
The unique hourglass shape is designed so that both ends can be used as a container or a stand, which means you can flip it over if your plant is outgrowing its container and needs a bit more space.
Plant Accessories & More Unique Plant Gift Ideas
Watering cans can be unattractive. The Orb Watering Can from Ferm Living makes a nice gift for a plant lover! This sculptural yet functional piece is small, but holds up to a half gallon.
Orb Watering Can in Black styled aside the Shell Pot and Plant Box in grey.
Another unique gift idea for a plant lover is a stool. What’s great about a stool is it can be used as a plant stand, but also as a side table or additional seating whenever needed.
Shown here is Skagerak’s Nomad Stool, but any stool could work. Some of our favorite stools, also from Skagerak: the Fionia Stool, the Cutter Stool, and the Dania Stool.
The Bau Balcony Box is the perfect gift for the urban plant parent, or anyone short on space. The design is inspired by the uncluttered lines and industrial surfaces of classic Bauhaus architecture.
It’s super easy to mount on a rail thanks to two hooks and a metal bracket. Made of powder-coated, galvanized steel, this box is weatherproof and ready to face the elements. Plant lovers will also appreciate the smart drainage system at the bottom of the box.
