Mini Plants for Beginner Green Thumbs 

There's no better way to encourage a child's love of plants than by giving them their own! Consider gifting the budding young gardeners on your list an engaging, easy-to-care-for plant companion, like a succulent or a Venus fly trap (you know, because of the whole bug-eating thing). Their interesting textures and appearances make them the perfect way to get kids excited about the wonders of nature!

Cookbooks 

We all have that one foodie friend who's constantly on the lookout for new recipe inspirations, so why not toss in a cookbook or two with one of those aprons we mentioned? Whether they've fully evolved into a gourmet home cook or are still mastering the basics, we've got something for every food lover on your list this holiday season.
