Looking for flower pot gift basket ideas with a little something extra? Seed packets, sweet treats and colorful gardening tools give you plenty to work with.
These pictures include filled flower pots plus floral baskets, gift boxes and a few pretty containers you can use as inspiration.
You can keep it small with a thank-you tag or go all out with a whole gardening gift. I especially love the painted pots. Pick a color or a theme your recipient enjoys, then take it from there.
Flower pots and floral gifts worth saving
little dotted thank-you pots
How cute are these little thank-you gifts? The purple dots match the tops of the flower seed packets, with silver-wrapped treats tucked underneath.

Try a flower-shaped tag with your own short message. I love how it sits above the packet rather than getting hidden inside the pot.
blue planter and garden flag
If you are looking for a gardening gift with lots going on, then this one is for you. There’s a bright blue planter, seed packets, hand tools and a red watering can up above.
The garden flag is my favorite part. Add a patterned bow like this one if you want another splash of color.
painted red mushrooms
I am obsessed with these little mushrooms. The red caps and white dots look so pretty above the painted green grass.
For your own gift version, you could tuck seed packets and a small pair of gardening gloves inside this empty pot without covering up the painting.
pink flowers and beauty gifts
Love all things pink? This shallow basket has pink lily-shaped blooms tucked between beauty products, with a necklace displayed right at the front.
I especially love the little pink flower clip beside the blooms. If you’re borrowing this idea, keep smaller gifts near the front so they don’t disappear behind the flowers.
succulents and little treats
This succulent gift box may just be one of my favorites here. I love the red-edged leaves beside the chocolate and tea.
The little candles at the front make it feel like more than a plant gift.

Keep your own treats packaged separately from the plants if you’re trying a similar arrangement.
coral roses and purple flowers
How gorgeous is this flower basket? The coral roses, purple blooms and pink tulips spread out around a bottle in the middle.
I love the stems reaching above the dark handle. Keep that loose arrangement if you want to borrow the look rather than gathering every flower into a tight bunch.
pink blooms and a big bow
I love this pink flower basket with its oversized bow. The white roses tucked between the pink blooms are just so pretty.
If flowers are the whole present, a long ribbon on the handle is a lovely finishing touch.
gift cards among the flowers
Now this is a fun way to give gift cards! They sit on little holders above the leaves and flowers, so they become part of the arrangement.
The pink-speckled foliage is so cute beside that bright pink bloom. Pick cards for places your recipient likes rather than trying to match every card shown.
herbs and kitchen extras
If you’re putting together a gift for someone who loves cooking, save this basket. Leafy herbs sit alongside kitchen utensils, jars and a magazine.
I especially love the herb-print towel draped across the front. For a flower pot version, you could use a wide planter and keep that same green-and-white theme.
coffee and a tiny bouquet
How sweet is this little drink-carrier gift? A takeaway cup sits beside pale pink roses in a coffee-themed container, with a tied package at the front.
The tiny blue and green flowers among the roses are my favorite detail. I’d keep those little touches of color if you’re trying a similar bouquet.
a tub full of flowers
Don’t want to add lots of little presents? Take inspiration from this planted tub.
Red and pink blooms sit beneath tall green leaves, with trailing greenery spilling over the side.
You could add a personal tag to one handle to turn your own planted container into a gift.
pink pinwheel and purple gloves
We’re going all out with this gardening pot! The pink polka-dot pinwheel rises above seed packets and a trowel, while purple gloves hang over the rim.
I love the turquoise bow against the orange-brown pot. Keep it at the front like this so it doesn’t disappear behind the gifts.
strawberries for grandma
OMG, how adorable is this pink pot? The little strawberries and white daisies look so cute underneath the pink flowers.
The grandma flag and yellow bow give you a lovely way to personalize a plant gift without adding lots of extras.
a flower-filled tumbler
How cute is this flower-filled tumbler? Pink tulips and pale roses fill the white handled cup, with a beauty-store gift card rising above them.
I love the tiny white flowers between the bigger blooms. Keep the card high enough to see if you’re putting together your own version.
tulips with a pink ribbon
Don’t want to go overboard with the extras? This clear vase of pink tulips is lovely all on its own.
You can see the bulbs beneath the long green leaves.
The curled pink ribbon is such a pretty finishing touch. Try a ribbon that matches your flowers if you want to keep your own gift just as simple.
a nail polish bouquet
Who says the flowers have to be real? These nail polish bottles sit above colorful petal shapes in a pink heart-covered pail.
The turquoise, pink and pale purple bottles make such a cute mix. Choose your recipient’s favorite shades if you want to try this beauty-gift version of a bouquet.
white flowers and green leaves
This basket of white flowers is so pretty. I especially love the dark centers on the open white blooms beside the roses and tiny white flower sprays.

There’s no need to copy the pink color schemes above if that’s not your thing. This basket gives you a quieter floral alternative.
pink wrapping and a burgundy bow
The pink and cream roses are gorgeous in this basket. I love how the pink wrapping folds out around the flowers while the little burgundy bow stays up on the handle.
If you want to borrow just one detail, try pairing pale wrapping with a darker ribbon.
a purple-themed gift box
If you love a matching-color gift, this one is for you. A purple tumbler, mug, notebook and little fan sit together with a wrapped bunch of purple flower stems.
I love how the shades range from pale lilac to deep purple. For a smaller pot-based variation, I’d choose a purple flower pot with the notebook and a little wrapped bouquet.
colorful flower cookies
Last but definitely not least, we have this adorable cookie bouquet. I am obsessed with the blue flower and pink tulip!
Green tissue surrounds the sticks inside a yellow pail.
If you’re giving your own version, you could individually wrap the cookies and still keep those colorful flower shapes on display.
