Holiday Flower and Plant Gift Guide 2026: Gifts for Everyone on Your List
Quick answer: The best holiday flower and plant gifts depend on who you're shopping for. A Christmas cactus ($44) is a safe pick for pet owners and new plant parents, a bouquet with a vase is easiest for family far away, a wreath suits anyone who decorates, and a gift subscription is the answer for the person who has everything. For 2026, order by November 20 for Thanksgiving week and December 18 for Christmas week.

For the Thanksgiving host
Flowers that arrive a few days before Thanksgiving are ready for the table and don't add to the host's to-do list on the day. Warm fall tones work best: Giving Thanks ($79), Thanksgiving Memories ($88) and With Gratitude ($92). Order by November 20 for delivery November 23–25. For etiquette and more ideas, see what to bring a Thanksgiving host.
For family and friends who live far away
Choose a bouquet that arrives with its own vase, so the recipient doesn't have to find one: Xmas Szn ($92), Happy Happy ($98) or Cozy Christmas ($109). Want to keep sending love after December? A Holiday Gift Subscription starts with a holiday bouquet and keeps arriving every month.
For the person who has everything
Give something that keeps arriving. The Holiday Gift Subscription sends fresh flowers every month for 3, 6 or 12 months, and the Plant Gift Subscription with Planter sends a new houseplant every month for 3 or 6. Both are prepaid, ship free and end on their own. Read more about how gift subscriptions work.
For pet owners
The Christmas cactus ($44) is the safest holiday plant for homes with cats and dogs: the ASPCA lists it as non-toxic. Skip anything with lilies for cat owners, since every part of the lily is highly toxic to cats. Some holiday arrangements, including Cozy Christmas, contain lilies. See our guides to Christmas plants and pet safety and pet-friendly houseplants.
For the one who decorates
A wreath is a gift for the whole household and stays up all season. Fresh wreaths like the Classic Evergreen ($101) and Merry Wreath ($110) bring real evergreen scent. Dried wreaths like the Woodland ($119) and Starlight ($125) can be reused for years, and trios like Golden Hoops ($139) decorate a whole room. Not sure which? See fresh vs. dried wreaths.
For coworkers, neighbors and teachers
Small potted plants make easy, budget-friendly gifts that last well past the holidays: The Julianne ($29), the Norfolk Island pine ($48), a tabletop living Christmas tree, or the Red Poinsettia ($55). Sending gifts for a whole team or your clients? See holiday gifts for clients and employees.
For Hanukkah
Hanukkah 2026 begins on the evening of Friday, December 4. Blue, white and silver flowers are a natural fit, and a bouquet that lasts through all eight nights makes a thoughtful host gift. For a gift that goes well past the holiday, Eight Months of Light sends fresh flowers every month for eight months, one for each night. Order by November 24 for delivery by the first night. Browse the Chanukah & Winter Gifts collection or read Hanukkah flowers: colors, meaning and gift ideas.
For someone who wants flowers that last
Dried bouquets don't need water and keep their look for months: try the Mauve ($97) or Unicorn ($107) dried bouquets. For more ideas, see the best long-lasting flower gifts.
