Both are sturdy enough to outlast their plastic competitors, and give any planty person a regal look of sustainability as well as efficiency. First, there’s the mister: It nurtures plants of all kinds, from water-sensitive to humidity-loving. (Take your pick from full-on brass or brass with glass—either way, it’s a real step-up from that ol’ spray bottle.) 

Then there’s the lightweight yet durable shears, with a high-carbon steel blade and needle-nose tip for all your harvesting and pruning needs.

We love this gift for friends who may have a smaller space of plants, like an indoor greenhouse or a raging houseplant family in their smaller apartment. Help them level up watering day with this beautiful mister and gardening shears as the perfect gift.
