With Christmas around the corner, I thought I’d put together a few quick and simple DIY ideas to help your spruce up your plant gifts this year.

IDEA 1 // Start with a natural basket, add some homemade tassels and clip on a cute card – instant cheer! Get your basket from Plantify.

IDEA 2 // It couldn’t be simpler, get hold of belly basket and add a fun ribbon and tag. Find Belly baskets at Fable.

IDEA 3 // Decorate a large glass vase with decals and add a lining of coir. Get your decals from My wall tattoos and coir from your local nursery.

IDEA 4 // Wrap your pot in hessian, tie with string and add a festive ribbon and handwritten note.

This last idea was actually a gift from the launch of the Mantra store in Cavendish Square. Mantra is an extension of the Melissa’s brand (you might recognise the ‘Melissa’s handwriting’ on the tag!) so you can expect the same quality and plenty of lovely homeware, accessories and gifting options.
