Say thank you with a plant

A thank-you is said in a moment and forgotten just as quickly. A plant, though, stays on the desk or the kitchen table, with your words on the label: "Thank you", a name, a date, or the phrase that says it all.

For a neighbour who looked after the cat, hosts after a weekend away, a carer or a godparent, our small plants are often just right: La Délicate, a Crassula ovata, or La Coquette, a Haworthia, start from €29, pot included. La Coquette needs only moderate watering, once or twice a month in summer. For a bigger thank-you, Le Généreux, a Peperomia obtusifolia, lives up to his name.

The plant arrives in a ceramic pot handcrafted in Portugal, ready to give. Ordered before midday on weekdays, it leaves the same day; in France, it arrives the very next day with express delivery. For school, see also our selections for teachers and for childminders.
