I wish I were one of those people who had all their shopping done by December 1st. Instead, I just start thinking about it around then, in a little bit of a panic I might add. Therefore, every year I do more and more online shopping because of the time crunch I’m under. I always ask for ideas from my hubby and kids and my favorite is when the lists include links…LOL! How easy is that? ADD TO CART! However, it’s always fun when you can actually surprise someone with a thoughtful gift they weren’t expecting. Finding Unique Gifts for Everyone on Your List is always the desire.

Last year I received a gift that was just perfect for my gardening heart; an Amaryllis bulb potted up in a cute little pot. I loved that it was just the bulb with a green stem full of potential. How special do you feel when people take the time to think through who you are and come up with just the right gift?! For me…any sort of plant would thrill me but a flowering one, that was perfect. It was the gift that keeps on giving too, I just potted it back up to enjoy again this winter.
So how excited was I when Breck’s Gifts reached out to me to be a sponsor for their Gift Catalog this year. They sent me a fun assortment of Amaryllis bulbs.
One I had never seen before was a waxed Amaryllis bulb. I’m so glad I know about it now! It requires no soil and no water. It’s the easiest plant you’ll ever grow! I just placed it in a windowsill where it would receive indirect light and in just a few weeks you could see a bud, then shortly after that a big ole’ flower emerged! Just stunning, and so amazing… no dirt, no water, no work!
The second bulb came all potted up for me. A black planter wrapped in a red and black buffalo check fabric. It was called a Miracle Amaryllis. How perfect that it will boast huge red velvety blooms just in time for Christmas!
The third bulb came as a naked bulb. All ready for me to pot up in whatever I wanted. I love that it came with very specific instructions on how to plant and care for each bulb. The naked bulb comes in the cutest little drawstring linen bag, making it so easy to give as a gift. What a great stocking stuffer as well! Especially if you’re like me, filling stockings to the brim until they’re overflowing. My family always laughs at all the presents sitting outside their stockings. I just can’t help it!
The final thing I received was their Dutch Bulb wooden crate. The catalog lists several unique ways to use it. It has a fine metal screen bottom like those used to sort and dry harvested bulbs. In the Breck’s Gift Catalog they displayed a Fairy garden in it, so cute! It could be used in so many ways. I started out using it to display my potted bulbs but currently am using it as a Christmas centerpiece on my coffee table. I filled it with greens and berries and a faux Amaryllis at the moment, until my real ones bloom. 😉
I want to share with you how Breck’s Gifts could literally be your one stop Christmas shopping source. I have poured over their catalog so many times in the last several weeks…it truly does have Unique Gifts for Everyone on Your List. With their entire catalog inspired by nature, I love the fact that I can order fresh living gift items. Just ask my hubby – I have quite a few of these items on my list this year. How have I never thought of this before!?
Fresh Christmas Decor for the Home
Whether it’s beautiful gift pots filled with bulbs, fresh wreaths or table top trees, they are all sure to please! (Did I just become a poet?)
Decadent Treats
They offer several delightful options for treats delivered right to your door. Whether sweet or salty they’ve got you covered. I’m thinking I need to order the fudge… for a friend, of course 😉
For the Bird Lover
Breck’s Birdseed feeders are such a great gift idea. The feeders host all the different seeds that wild birds crave. Thinking hubby needs the little Chalet one for the cabin. My mom would definitely appreciate this, as well! Always keeping her beautiful backyard birds happy.
For the Gardener
A Bulb Garden of the Month Club…how fun would that be?! A potted bulb garden arrives each month, already sprouting and ready to bloom. Now that’s a gift that keeps on giving! This is my kind of club.
There’s also a perfect folding garden seat with canvas pockets that include several gardening tools, all within reach as your working off the stool. I guess MY Christmas list is made!
For the Kiddos
I am eyeing the Felt Tree Advent Calendar for my grandkids. It’s over 4 feet tall with pockets to hold treats and move the stuffed candy cane along while counting down to Christmas. They would love it!
I have just skimmed the surface of all the options Breck’s Gifts has to offer. I am certain you will find truly Unique Gifts for Everyone on Your List.

Oooooh, I know who that bird feeder chalet is perfect for! And I love that amaryllis triple in plaid planter. So unique and thoughtful.
