    terrariumValentine’s Day Gift!

    A  glass terrarium is a fool-proof Valentine’s Day gift for the gardener, child, and even those allergic to the garden in your life!

    When you give the gift of a terrarium, it’s always a custom design!

    There’s the “from-the-heart” factor. Talk about giving something that’s personal –a terrarium is like a piece of living art. Your instincts and these design tips will combine to make a memorable piece. Valentine’s Day gift terrariums come in all shapes and sizes. You could go for a glass cloche or glass terrarium and fill it with a small expressive scene.

    Glass terrariums are easy and creative Valentine’s Day gifts but are also a breeze to care for.

    Would your Valentine benefit from a little green in their life but you don’t want to burden them with responsibilities? Go straight for a terrarium. Plants can thrive without hassle in this great Valentine gift. Not only are glass terrariums trouble-free, but terrariums put a shine on any plant sequestered within. Plus, glass terrariums take the pains out of growing. Your friend who is the avid gardener, relative, neighbor, or lover won’t need a sunny exposure. The terrarium will be on auto-pilot and will rarely require water.

    Basically flower-related fuss, including allergies, are a thing of the past. If your Valentine is allergic to flowers and sending roses would be a disaster then get her a glass terrarium instead. These aren’t the fish-tank terrariums from the 8th grade school fair. The modern glass terrarium can be glass domes, bowls or vintage Wardian cases. Glass terrariums can easily contain a several varieties of flowers, moss, or cacti. Maybe even consider creating a romantic scene for your Valentine using figurines that can be placed in glass terrariums.

    Unique Valentine’s Day Gift for Kids! 

    The glass terrarium could be a great gift for the young girl or boy in your life. The glass terrarium may not seem to be an obvious Valentine’s Day gift, but a young gardener, or mad scientist boy or girl will surely enjoy it. Glass terrariums serve as a good substitute for all the Valentine’s Day candy or more traditional Valentine gifts. Glass terrariums are low-maintenance and can house a variety of cool and pretty plants in them, depending on who you are buying for. Terrariums are made fun because they aren’t hard to use and they show fast results after planting which is great when trying to keep the attention of a child. For boys, glass terrariums full of carnivorous plants would put you at the top of the cool list. His Valentine terrarium could include tiny Venus flytraps and pitcher plants. The only downside to these is that a boy may need to catch or purchase food for them.

      I purchased this terrarium and it is now in my foyer looking absolutely beautiful. It is the first thing you see when you walk into my condo. This is the second Wardian I purchased and love both of them. I couldn’t be happier. The prices were very affordable considering the beauty of these terrariums.

        Carol-

        We are so happy to hear from you. A foyer sounds like a great place to put a piece like this, I never thought of that. Have you considered seasonally decorating it since it is the first thing you see when you walk into your condo? I often find it difficult to decorate foyers without making my guests feel overwhelmed by my, for example, often over the top Valentines Day decorations :) .
