Giving an orchid as a gift is always a good idea, but with winter approaching, it’s especially fitting. With the colder days ahead, we could all use a touch of the tropics in our homes. And this way, as an orchid lover, you can also let others enjoy the beauty of this plant. Read on for 4 original ways to give an orchid as a gift.

 

Creative ways to gift an orchid

A personal gift

Receiving a present with your own name on it is always special! And if you’re giving gifts to several people, it’s practical too – you can instantly see who each one is for. Pick out a few lovely terracotta pots and use chalk to write the recipient’s name on each one. Place the orchid inside, and you’ve got a thoughtful, personal gift.

 

 

Tie a bow around it

Put a bow on something and it instantly feels like a celebration – and that applies to orchids too! Place the plant in an pretty plant pot, choose one or two ribbons, and tie a bow around it. For an extra personal touch, attach a handwritten card.

 

 

Orchid arrangement

Want to go bigger? Gift an orchid arrangement. It will instantly become the centrepiece of any home! Choose a beautiful dish and arrange several orchids inside. Wrap a piece of cellophane or decorative film around it and secure it with a bow. To complete the look, choose a ribbon in a colour that matches the orchids.

 

 

Wrapped as a gift

Want to go one step further? You can actually wrap the orchid itself. This does require some care and attention to protect both the plant and its delicate flowers. Cellophane works well, as it allows the plant to remain visible while still providing a bit of protection.
