Even found yourself stuck in a rut before an approaching significant date for some members of your family of the closest friends' circle? A book, a pair of socks, an ugly handmade sweater and a latest CD of a favorite jazz singer (or yet another "Abbey Road" reissue in dvd, blu-ray or whatever HD format is trendy this days), a charm bracelet or a tie are absolutely out of question, and not just because these things have gone cheesy as gists a long time ago, but because you'd already given those presents, too.
It all looks like you should direct your gift-presenting creativity into a whole new dimension and think about gifts that won't just accumulate dust on the shelves, but will actually live on - just like plant gifts presented wrapped in all your love and sincere emotions
When making a decision to make a living plant present then you should not only choose the plant according to the hero of the occasion's tasted, but according to his or her character as well. For instance, it is a bad idea to present someone who lives alone and is often out of town with a demanding orchid that needs special micro climate and should be watered with ward mater like 3 times a day. On the contrary - a cute fluffy cactus that only needs water 2 times a week and is quite content to stand in the dust and shade on the balcony may suffer from an overly caring owner obsessed with keeping the plant pets alive and comfortable.
In both cases the improper plant is most likely to die and result into a sad owner and obviously in a dead plant. Choose wisely and think the whole thing through. If the plant needs to be re-planted from the gift pot into a larger one and needs some special soil mix you should warn the happy new owner, too.
Another popular mistake made by good wishers is giving out poisonous plants. Be careful while choosing a living gift and remember that a cute-looking flower may emit an aroma which is deadly if the plant is placed in a small bedroom which doesn't get a lot of fresh air. The fine green leaves can also turn out not just inedible, but pure poison for pets and small children who may try to take a bite of the "poor flower". Pick out the plant carefully and present it with your most heartfelt wishes and then it will live a long time.
