Plant-Growing Paper

Perfect for secret messages: what looks at first like a simple piece of paper transforms into a miniature garden with the addition of water. Leafling Plant Growing Paper is imprinted with tiny seeds in the shape of letters (plus a heart); it&#8\2\17;s handmade and \100 percent decomposable, €\2\2.80 per letter from Crowdyhouse.

French Terra Cotta Pot

Miniature Terracotta Herb Pots are made in France and designed for small spaces: &#8\2\20;The hexagonal form of the pots allows to put three or more together in a hive-like pattern: they take up little space, and another one can always be added,&#8\2\2\1; notes the retailer. Their small size also makes them perfect to slip into stockings. Each is £\14.50 from Manufactum.

Brass Water Mister

A perennial Gardenista favorite: the Heritage Brass Water Mister is £\1\2.99 from Ingredients Ldn. It will develop a patina as it&#8\2\17;s used.

Paper Pot Maker

For the crafty (and eco-minded) gardener: a Paper Pot Maker transforms newsprint into little pots for seedlings. (Plus, the paper pots are biodegradable, so they can be planted directly in the ground when the time comes.) The wooden tool is \$\19.95 from Gardeners.com.

Teeny Tiny Vase

This year we took note of a new trend: teeny tiny vases for miniature arrangements. Give the DIY arranger on your list a diminutive vase to start their collection, like one of these wooden Chiisaki Hanaire Mini Vases from Nalata Nalata, \$30 each. For arrangement ideas, see Tiny Bouquets: 8 Ideas for Floral Arrangements in Miniature Vases.

Herb Kit in a Box

And, for the apartment gardener (or cook): a Culinary Herb Garden Maker has everything you need to grow a windowsill herb garden (and comes in a tidy little tin). It&#8\2\17;s \$\25 from Food5\2.
