Finding the perfect present for a gardening enthusiast can be a delightful yet challenging task. A gardening gift box is an ideal solution, combining practicality with thoughtfulness, and providing a range of items that cater to their passion for all things green and growing. Here's how we curated the ultimate Maison Rayne gardening gift boxes that will make any plant lover's day extra special.
1. The Concept: What is a Gardening Gift Box?
A gardening birthday gift box is a carefully curated collection of gardening essentials and treats, thoughtfully packaged to delight anyone with a passion for plants. From seeds to gardening essentials, these boxes include a variety of items that cater to both novice and experienced gardeners.
2. The Right Box and Contents
Presentation matters so choosing a practical yet attractive box that reflects the gardening theme is essential. Eco-friendly boxes and colourful floral or bee themes work perfectly together. Sourcing from reputable suppliers is a must. Our garden box products are supplied by companies such as Briers, Gardener's Dream, and Heathcote & Ivory.
3. Must-Have Gardening Essentials
- Seeds: We chose a low maintenance option: 100% wildflower seeds which are also bee and butterfly-friendly. These annual and perennial seeds are presented in a delicate glass jar decorated with a flower or bee charm, and will flower for up to 6 months of the year.
- Gloves: A pair of durable, comfortable gardening gloves is important. Briers cotton gardening gloves are our favourite! And they come in a choice of 'Busy Bee' or 'Flower Field' design and multiple colours.
- Hand Soap and Wooden Nail Brush: Gardener's soap often contains natural exfoliants like pumice, oatmeal, or coffee grounds that help scrub away dirt and grime effectively. We have chosen soaps which also include natural ingredients such as poppy seeds and honey, and are handmade by Gew Barn in Cornwall and The Wild Soap Co. Our Gardener's gift boxes also include a wooden nail brush.
- Hand and Nail Cream: Gardening can leave hands dry, rough, and prone to damage. A good hand and nail cream helps to moisturise, protect and repair. The Heathcote & Ivory "In The Garden" and "Busy Bee" hand and nail creams are our favourites and are the perfect size for a gardening apron or pocket. Enriched with shea butter and vitamin E, it's the essential kit for helping hands feel soft after a day's sowing, planting or pruning.
- A Luxurious Option: Our Deluxe Gardener's Gift Boxes contain lavender based gifts such as a lavender hand wash (instead of soap), as well as lavender scented tealight candles and a sachet of dried lavender. The hand cream is the Heathcote & Ivory 'Lavender Fields' enriched with shea butter and infused with soothing scents of lavender and wild hops.
4. Personal Touches
Make the gift box truly special by personalising it:
- Greeting Cards: Include a card with a heartfelt message. We have a range of professionally designed and printed cards available to add to your gift box.
- Keepsakes: Adding a personal touch can make a gift even more special and memorable and shows that you've put extra thought and care into choosing the perfect gift. We have a variety of keepsakes you can choose from. If you would like to add one to your gift box, head to 'Keepsakes & Pocket Gems' on the 'Create Your Own' page.
5. The Final Touches
- The Occasion: Tailoring the gift box to the occasion makes it extra special. Choose from a variety of gift box designs such as Happy Birthday, Congratulations, Thank You, and Thinking of You and in colours to suit the theme of the gift box.
- Base Layer: We add a couple of layers of tissue paper to cushion the items as well as protective shredded paper to ensure safe delivery.
- Arrangement: Items are thoughtfully placed in the box to ensure they are visible when the recipient opens their gift box.
- Finishing Touches: As a final touch the tissue paper is sealed with a sticker, and a sprig of dried flowers is placed on top with your card, if chosen. The gift box is then wrapped in kraft paper and sealed with a velvet ribbon.
