Christmas is literally around the corner, and by now most of us are staring at our shopping lists wondering… “Do they really need another candle?” If you’re tired of gifting the same old classics every year, 2025 is the perfect time to do Christmas differently.
And with PlantArk, you don’t need to be a green thumb to choose something meaningful, memorable, and better for the planet.
This year, we’re encouraging Aussies to think beyond short-lived gifts and embrace presents that grow — plants, seeds, native seed boxes, and living art pieces created by passionate Australian sellers.
Because the best gifts don’t end up in the bin… they end up on a windowsill, in a garden bed, or blooming in colour for years.
🎁 Why Choose Living Gifts This Christmas?
Living presents tick every box:
· Unique & meaningful – far more thoughtful than standard holiday gifts
· Eco-friendly – many of our sellers use sustainable packaging and natural materials
· Long-lasting joy – plants continue to grow, bloom and surprise
· Support local growers – every purchase helps small Australian plant businesses thrive
· Perfect for everyone – collectors, beginners, kids, gardeners, apartment dwellers
And if you still need Christmas cards or gift tags? Why not choose plantable seed cards that bloom into flowers — a beautiful way to say Merry Christmas and give nature a boost.
