Why people love it
Why it makes such a good gift
Seed packets make a thoughtful present when you know that someone enjoys growing things. They give the recipient a choice of projects to plan, rather than another plant that needs looking after immediately. For Christmas, the pleasure can be choosing what to sow in the coming season; there is no need to expect growth on Christmas Day.
Choose the collection for the space they have. Herbal Age’s twelve-variety box mixes herbs with salad plants, including basil, thyme, chives, rocket and lettuce. It is a small seed box, not twelve established herb plants. The Scott & Co. flower sack offers thirty varieties for someone interested in colour and flowers, while its vegetable sack covers a broader range of vegetables, herbs, tomatoes and peppers.
A sunny shelf, patio pots and an allotment offer different possibilities. The collection needs to suit the available light, containers and eventual growing space. Check the individual packet or booklet for sowing windows, temperature and spacing; some seeds are started under cover and planted out later. A broad collection does not mean that every variety can be grown indoors all year round.
The gift supplies seeds, not a ready planted garden. Pots or trays, suitable compost, water and ongoing care are separate. This makes packet collections useful for someone who already has growing equipment. For a complete beginner, discuss the project or add the missing supplies yourself rather than assuming they are in the seed box. Keep unused packets dry and follow their storage and sow-by information.
The Herbal Age box is small, but the two Scott & Co. gift sacks are larger complete packs. Compare the actual supplied packaging if buying a Christmas extra, and give a bulky collection separately. A gift sack contains the complete collection, not just one flat packet; give it separately when that is a better fit. For a gardening Secret Santa, check the exact collection price and delivery against the organiser’s cap. Flower seeds are for planting, not eating; keep seeds and packaging away from young children and pets.
