We present our gift guide series, each focused on a different area of life to nurture and celebrate— whether tending to home, discovering ways to “play dirty,” or focusing on self-exploration. Allow these gifts to shift and unlock something new for the recipients: adventure, joy, empowerment, energy, and freedom.
We invite you to come back each week, explore, and find your flavor of love to share.
Gift a fresh squeeze of homegrown citrus with a mini red lime tree and planter. A cross between a Kumquat and Rangpur lime, these orange-red beauties bloom year round and add an element of surprise to a cocktail or curry. You can also choose from Meyer lemons or key lime to bring a dose of warm-weather gems into someone’s abode, curing winter grays.
ULTRALIGHT DREAMS SUCCULENT POTS |
While you build out your indoor, botanical wonderland, add more color by potting succulents in planters that double as art. Jazzmine of Ultralight Dreams hand-paints each terra-cotta pot, ensuring your gift will be as unique and loved-on as the plants themselves. We’re especially fond of this rendering, dubbed “Nude Mountain.”
