Things to Consider When Gifting a Terrarium Kit

Why a Terrarium Kit Makes the Perfect Gift

Looking for a gift that feels thoughtful, creative and magical? A terrarium kit is a beautiful way to share the joy of nature. Whether it's for a Christmas, birthday, housewarming, or just because, it's an experience wrapped in a box: a moment of mindfulness and tiny world ready to flourish, making it a meaningful and memorable gift for anyone who loves nature or hands on projects.

Bigger Is Not Always Better

When it comes to terrariums, bigger size doesn't always mean better. Terrariums need good natural light tto stay healthy, so gifting a large one may require the recipient to have suitable space near a bright window. Plus, bigger terrariums come with larger glass vessels, which are more fragile and need careful placement. 

If you are unsure how much space the recipient has, choosing a smaller terrarium kit is often the safer and smarter option. It's easier to place, easier to care for, and just as beautiful once it's built.

Taking Care of the Plants Before Gifting

If you're gifting one of the Upgraded Kits, there's one important thing to remember: the kit includes live plants, and these prefer not to stay sealed in their paper packaging for too long.

If the gift is for a late date, gently unpack the plants as soon as the kit arrives. Look after them separately by giving them a bit of light, moisture, and fresh air to keep them happy.

A helpful tip: Place the plant in a glass jar with a lid on to create a temporary mini environment. This helps prevent the plant from drying out while you wait for gifting day.
