 The Christmas Holly Ball Gift, £39.99

"The holly and the ivy,
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown"

Any plant that is mentioned in a Christmas carol is a festive winner as far as I'm concerned!  There is a lot that can be learned about the fantastic holly from that Christmas carol; it has blossom as white as the lily flower, a berry as red as blood and a prickle as sharp as a thorn! All this adds up to create a truly beautiful winter plant; just make sure those thorns don't catch you out! .

Buy an ornamental holly tree as a Christmas gift for someone your really love!

 The White Grape Vine, £25.99

Our white grape vine gifts would make a really unusual gift for a wine enthusiast, or a keen gardener. You might think that grapes are not ideal for growing in the UK, but in reality, 2014 was one of the best years ever for English wine makes, proving that it can be done, and done well! Imagine how special a glass of wine would taste if the receiver of this lovely gift had grown and nurtured the grapes themselves!

The Lakemont variety is a sweet honey like grape which is delicious straight from the vine and makes a good sweet white wine. The green-yellow oval shaped fruit is ready for picking from the end of September and is a good reliable cropper.

Grapes are said to be a symbol of good luck; so you could also send a grape wine to wish your loved ones the very best of luck in the New Year. And if red wine is more their thing, why not have a look at our red grape vine?

These Grape Vine Gifts, trained over trellises, make a beautiful addition to any garden. A perfect little Christmas gift!
