There’s something extra sweet about giving a gift you picked out (or created) yourself.
Instead of the typical last-minute bouquet, why not surprise someone with something that lasts longer than a week?
A lush houseplant, a tiny terrarium, or a hand-potted planter feels more personal, more creative, and something they’ll enjoy long after Valentine’s Day is over.
If you’re looking for unique Valentine’s Day gifts in Kansas City, Colonial Gardens is stocked with plants, pots, and everything you need to build your own plant-based gift.
Let’s show you a few easy ideas you can make at home.
Great giftable options include:
Pothos
Snake plants
Succulents
Mini tropicals
You don’t have to be crafty — just a little creative.
Pick a fun planter and pair it with a favorite plant. Instant, thoughtful gift.
Layer pebbles, soil, and small plants in a glass container for a cute tabletop piece.
Mix a few small plants into one larger pot for a fuller look.
Tie on a tag, ribbon, or handwritten note to make it feel special.
It’s simple, affordable, and way more meaningful than something off a shelf.
Half the fun is coming in to choose everything together.
Grab a coffee at Whistle Stop Coffee Shop, stroll the greenhouse, and pick out plants you love. Turn it into a little date, friend hangout, or solo self-care trip.
It’s cozy, creative, and a great excuse to spend time in the greenhouse
