Gifts That Grow

Living Presents for Every Personality

Living gifts are meaningful, beautiful and lasting. They bring color and life into a home and continue to brighten the season long after the holidays end. At White House Nursery you will find a thoughtful selection of holiday plants that make perfect gifts for friends, family or anyone who enjoys something a little more special than a wrapped box.

From classic poinsettias to elegant orchids, from easy-care succulents to fragrant paperwhites, each plant has its own personality. Paired with the right accessories they become gifts that feel complete and ready to enjoy.


Poinsettias for the Traditionalist

Poinsettias remain one of the most loved holiday plants. Their bright red, white or pink bracts add instant cheer to any room.

Perfect for:
Someone who enjoys classic holiday color and tradition.

Care tips:
Place in bright, indirect light. Water when the soil feels slightly dry. Keep away from cold drafts.

Gift pairing ideas:
Decorative pot covers, matching saucers, and simple bows that turn the plant into a ready to present centerpiece.


Orchids for the Elegant and Stylish

Phalaenopsis orchids are graceful and long lasting. Their arching stems and stunning blooms bring a touch of luxury to any space.

Perfect for:
Design lovers, minimalists, and anyone who enjoys a calm and modern look.

Care tips:
Provide bright, indirect light. Water lightly, allowing the mix to dry between waterings. Keep in a stable, warm room.

Anyone who loves plants but forgets to water them.

Care tips:
Give bright light. Water sparingly. Use well draining soil.

Gardeners, sentimental friends, and anyone who loves seasonal tradition.

Care tips:

Why Living Gifts Make a Difference

A living plant is more than a seasonal decoration. It becomes part of the home. It grows, changes and lasts long beyond the holidays. Living gifts show thoughtfulness and create a moment of connection between the giver and the recipient.

With the right plant and the right accessories your gift becomes both beautiful and personal.
