What to Add to a Flower or Plant Gift: Candle, Mug and Small Gift Pairings
Quick answer: The easiest add-on to a flower gift is a soy candle that matches the occasion, like the Birthday Cake candle ($24) with a birthday bouquet or the Love You candle ($24) for an anniversary. For a plant gift, add the Plant Care Journal ($20). Add-ons ship separately in their own package, so they never change your flowers' delivery date.

Why a candle goes with flowers
Flowers are the moment, and a candle keeps the gift going after the bouquet fades. Choose a scent that won't compete with the flowers: something soft for a bedroom or desk, or a warm bakery scent like Cinnamon Rolls for a kitchen. Our soy candles use a soy-based wax blend, 100% cotton wicks and premium fragrance oils, and are phthalate free. A jar of safety matches ($15) means they can light it the day it arrives.
What to add to a plant gift
A plant is a gift that keeps growing, and the Plant Care Journal ($20) helps a new plant parent keep it that way, with pages for watering, light and growth. For a housewarming, a candle or the Gold Leaf Jewelry Dish ($20) adds something for the new space. Not sure which plant? Low-maintenance picks like the snake plant suit almost anyone, and our guide to pet-friendly houseplants helps if they have cats or dogs.
How add-ons ship
Candles, mugs and small gifts ship separately from flowers and plants, usually within 1 to 3 business days, in their own package with their own tracking. Your bouquet keeps its delivery date, including holiday delivery weeks. The gift message you write at checkout goes with the order, and the recipient may get the add-on a day or two before or after the flowers.
How to add one
On any everyday bouquet or plant page, the Add to your gift box suggests a candle, plant or bouquet you can add in one click. You can also browse the full Home Decor collection and add items to the same cart.
