🎁 Gifts that Grow: Living Presents for Every Personality

Bring joy that lasts well beyond the holidays with beautiful, living gifts from Nunan’s Florist & Garden Center in Georgetown, MA. Whether you’re shopping for a seasoned plant lover or someone new to the world of greenery, living gifts like poinsettias, orchids, succulents, and paperwhites offer lasting beauty — and a reminder of your thoughtfulness all winter long.


🌺 For the Traditionalist: Classic Poinsettias

Nothing says “holiday spirit” quite like the vibrant bracts of a poinsettia. At Nunan’s, you’ll find locally grown, florist-quality poinsettias in rich reds, snowy whites, and soft pinks — perfect for gifting or decorating your home.

Gift Pairing Ideas:

  • Add an elegant ceramic pot or festive basket.

  • Include a small watering can or Espoma Organic Indoor! Plant Food for easy care.

💡 Tip: Keep poinsettias away from drafts and direct heat to help them thrive through the holidays and beyond.


🌸 For the Romantic: Elegant Orchids

Orchids make a graceful statement — a living gift that symbolizes love, beauty, and strength. Our collection includes Phalaenopsis orchids in a variety of colors, each potted in decorative containers ready for gifting.

Gift Pairing Ideas:

  • Pair with orchid-specific potting mix and fertilizer from Espoma.

  • Add a sleek mister or humidity tray to encourage blooms to last longer.

💡 Tip: Orchids prefer bright, indirect light and a light watering about once a week.


🌿 For the Minimalist: Mini Succulents

Succulents bring simplicity and charm to any space. These low-maintenance little wonders make perfect stocking stuffers, desk companions, or hostess gifts.

Gift Pairing Ideas:

  • Arrange a trio in one of our decorative pottery containers.

  • Include a bag of Coast of Maine succulent soil or a small grow light for winter months.

💡 Tip: Allow soil to dry between waterings and place in a bright, sunny window.


🌼 For the Naturalist: Paperwhites in Bloom

Fragrant and festive, paperwhites are the perfect gift for gardeners and nature enthusiasts. They bloom indoors in just a few weeks, bringing a touch of springtime to winter homes.

Gift Pairing Ideas:

  • Present them in a decorative glass vase with pebbles for easy forcing.

  • Add a holiday ribbon and a card with bloom-time instructions.

💡 Tip: After blooming, bulbs can be composted or saved to plant outdoors in warmer climates.
