A New Proposal for Gifts to Parents ♡
Have you decided on the gifts for your parents to present at the wedding reception?
Lately, we’ve been thinking that potted plants and houseplants would make a lovely gift ♩
When it comes to classic gifts for parents, people often choose items like rice that weighs the same as the couple, triple clocks, certificates of appreciation for raising children, and preserved flower boxes. However,
Since potted plants are not typical “objects,” they are timeless and can easily blend into the home decor as an interior item ♡
Furthermore, because they are plants, the parents can care for them by watering, and depending on the type, they can enjoy flowers or fruits, plant them in the garden, and witness changes over time, which is also wonderful, don’t you think...??
Moreover, if you think about it, gifting houseplants for celebrations such as business openings is quite common!
- They are easy to care for, so they won’t add extra work for the recipients.
- Many have auspicious meanings related to prosperity and growth.
- They help purify the air.
For these reasons, they have been traditional gifts for a long time, and
Considering all of this, I believe potted plants are a perfect choice for gifts to parents ♡
To add a special feel to the wedding gift, it might be nice to choose something that doesn’t quite look like a typical houseplant or opt for cute flowering pots.
Of course, it's also important to have pretty wrapping ♡
For example ♡
For instance, a potted Phalaenopsis orchid ♡
The beautifully arranged flowers of a Phalaenopsis orchid that are almost overflowing from the pot look quite luxurious and would surely stand out at a wedding reception.
While you may often see orchid gifts at stores and businesses... experiencing one addressed to yourself is something that doesn’t happen very often, so it could surprise them!*
A simple type of Phalaenopsis orchid pot with no drooping flowers is also adorable ♡
The flower language of Phalaenopsis orchids is “happiness is coming.”
If the wedding is in June, preparing a hydrangea sapling pot would also be wonderful ♡
Hydrangeas have the flower language of “family reunion,” making it perfectly meaningful as a gift for parents.
It would be great if they could bloom beautifully every year during the rainy season.
Even small saplings can bear fruit ♡
Kumquats and oranges have cute round orange fruits ♡
This tall plant with many small leaves is a type of Sophora*
Its very small leaves make it look like something out of a fairy tale, and it is sometimes called the fairy tale tree.
Its flower language is “renewing each day” and “a calming person” ♡
Please Consider ♡
What do you think about the idea of choosing potted plants as gifts for parents? ♡
Unlike traditional “objects,” these living gifts will last and be remembered for years, so it would be wonderful to have conversations like, “This tree came to our home the year we got married,” or “Look how beautifully it has bloomed this year.”
Please consider it as a candidate for gifts to your parents.
