Anyone seen any Little Pot Plants?

Options
Hi guys,
I'm looking for about a dozen little pot plants to give out as end of term teacher presents. Has anyone seen some in any supermarkets? Ideally would like them in pretty pots already.

    Do you have an Ikea or a Range store near you?

    Why not buy some terracotta pots and paint them with a metal/wood type paint.

    Not sure what you mean. Our Waitrose have plants in bright colour gluss-size pots, something like kalanchoe, about £6 i think. It's not on their website. M&S have sometimes something like that. I do not go there very often, last time I've been they had something like tin mag with flowering plants. Don't remember the price.

    As for me, I'll go for chocolates as teachers gift. Don't know if they care for plants. And I have no other ideas.
  • Try Wilkinsons or poundland shops,they normally have loads

    Our poundlans doesn't. Wilkinson usually have interesting plants but all in plastic pots.

    Hi,

    Found these in Lidl, the sunflower is only £1.99, though it's not in a nice pot you could just tie a nice ribbon around it.

    Does it have to be a pot plant? I got small food bags with enough compost added that will fill a the plant pot add a pack of seeds and a plant label cellophane it up and add a bow. You can get seeds cheaply in Wilkinsons. Herb seeds are useful for most people.
  • Have you tried asda or tesco? They normally have little flowers for £1-£3 in pots. Good luck.
