Winter Gift Guide 2025
The winter season is upon us. The year is starting to wind down, and as the days get shorter (and colder!), we crave the comfort of gathering together.
The holidays, entertaining guests, hosting dinners and parties, and visiting loved ones is cause for bearing gifts that bring smiles and joy to the people we care about.
Now is the time to start thinking about your plans, because no one likes scrambling at the last minute for a hostess gift that actually seems thoughtful.
To help reduce your stress levels, I’ve compiled a list of gift-giving ideas from Terra Cotta Plant Boutique for all the different personalities in your life.
Sure, it’s easy to order from Amazon, but if you truly want to give something unique and support small businesses, here are some great options.
THE CRAFTER
Spending more time indoors during the colder months can down right dreary. That is, unless you have fun indoor hobbies to keep you busy. Knitting is a great activity to keep your brain and hands busy. What could be better than sitting under a warm blanket, sipping tea or cocoa, and watching your favorite movies while working on a cool knitting project? It’s productive, rewarding, and fun!
These “Knit Kits” by eM knits make great gifts. They include everything you need to create three different cacti projects (crochet hooks and knitting needles not included), and come in two different styles. Grab your knit kit now.
THE CREATIVE
Another great activity for the winter months is journaling or anything related to the creative arts. With the rise of junk journaling as a creative outlet, bullet journaling for personal organization, and the ever popular personalization of our water bottles, laptops, and notebooks, a sticker subscription club is the way to go.
Terra Cotta Plant Boutique now offers houseplant sticker subscriptions. Choose from four frequency options: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or a full year’s worth of monthly mailings.
A houseplant sticker subscription is literally the gift that keeps on giving. Everyone loves receiving something fun in the mail, plus stickers are great for sharing, and trading.
Sign up once and you’ll receive 3 premium vinyl stickers from small business artists each month straight to your door. No recurring payments or memberships to remember to cancel. Plus, free shipping! Join the club.
THE CAT PARENT
If you know anyone with a cat, then you need to get them a jar of Rosie’s Original Catnip. It is the puuur-fect gift for any cat owner who loves spoiling their baby.
Rosie’s is harvested by hand, triple washed and dried, and the leaves and flowers are placed individually on dehydrating trays so that they dry flat and stay whole. The beautiful packaging and thoughtful detail of this catnip brand feels so elevated and special.
These jars make great stocking stuffers or hostess gifts, and special holiday treats for your own kitties.
This product is harvested seasonally in small batches, so quantities are limited. Secure a jar of Rosie’s Original today.
THE ENTERTAINER
There are just some people who have the gift of hosting. They have a way of opening their homes and inviting us in to feel special and cared for with food, conversation, and great company. For them, a great gift is something they can savor alone or use and share with friends.
The Qi Petite Flower Trio Tea Set is a lovely offering for an entertainer’s table. They can choose to enjoy a relaxing cup alone, or host a full on tea party. The beautiful aroma and colors of the steeped flower buds takes making tea to a higher level.
Another great option is one of these very chic gold cactus bottle openers. Every party host appreciates a useful kitchen tool with a stylish design.
Made with heavy duty metal, these make an attractive addition to any home bar.
Hostess gifts don’t have to be complicated. Just thoughtful. Pick out a Flower Trio Tea Set or Cactus Bottle Opener now.
The Self Care Guru
Everyone loves to be pampered, but not everyone will take the time to buy the self care goodies they deserve. That’s why beautiful gift sets work so well for the holidays. It isn’t just a luxury; the cold winter months bring dry skin, cracked hands, and chapped lips.
The relax and restore gift box from Whispering Willows is an act of love. It is the gift of relief from the harsh weather, as well as comfort and relaxation from the busy holiday schedules.
The set includes calming hand and cuticle salve, nourishing natural body oil, and hydrating lip balm. All products are made with beeswax, natural oils like jojoba and sweet almond, and organic lavender essential oil. Reserve your gift box now.
THE HOUSEPLANT COLLECTOR
Houseplants are here to stay. It’s the addiction we love to love. Who can resist just one more little leafy friend to add to the shelf?
For those people in your life, consider a gift that helps them be the best plant parent they can be. A houseplant potting mat makes repotting, watering, and propagating 100% more enjoyable. It keeps any mess centralized so that instead of focusing on the cleanup, your houseplant lover can put more energy into enjoying the process of caring for their beloved plants.
Another great option is a set of sticky gnat traps. Fungus gnats can be the one of the most annoying issues that come with a house full of plants. And while there are sprays and remedies galore, not everyone wants to play chemist with vinegars, soaps, or oils.
Sticky gnat traps are incredibly simple to use. Just peel off the backing, stick them in soil, and throw away when the gnats get trapped. There are 20 in a pack and they come in 4 fun shapes. (Also great around fruit bowls!).
It’s another gift idea that is useful, but not everyone will buy for themselves. Get ready to thrill your houseplant nerds. Pick up a pack or two today.
THE PICKY AND PARTICULAR
There is always that one person who is impossible to shop for; that’s why gift cards exist!
As a self-proclaimed “picky” person, I have to say that gift cards really are the perfect gift. It’s treating someone to a little shopping spree for themselves. It may seem impersonal, but what’s better than allowing someone to pick out exactly what they want? Especially when it comes to apparel, decor, or accessories.
The Terra Cotta Plant Boutique gift card is a digital gift card that is sent instantly through email. It can also be printed off and added to a greeting card if you prefer a physical product. There is no expiration date, so recipients can enjoy browsing now or shop new seasonal products in the future. Plus, if you are local to Toledo, OH, gift cards are honored at in-person market events.
Make gift giving the easiest part of your holiday season and order your gift cards today.
