A Gift Guide for the People Who Are Hard to Shop For
September 13 2026 – Chelsey Walker
It's not quite pumpkin season yet, but if you're like me and like to get a little ahead of things, this one is for you. Holiday shopping has a way of sneaking up, and when it comes to gifting something that means a little more than (another) gift card, the earlier you start planning, the better.
So let's go over a few people on your list and what might actually make them stop, smile, and feel truly seen this holiday season.
For the person who has everything
Give them an experience. A monthly floral subscription delivers something beautiful to their door every month—a small, recurring moment of delight. Right now, this is available to those within 10 miles of DeForest, WI, so if your gift recipient is in the area, this may be the easiest "wow" on your list!
Another option could be a flower bar experience for a special event or gathering they have planned in the new year.
For the sentimental one
Maybe it's a friend who's saved every ticket stub from your years of friendship or a relative who pressed flowers from a special occasion in a book. These people don't want more stuff; they want their memories held onto.
Floral Preservation takes flowers that already mean something- a wedding, funeral, or other life event- and turns them into something special that can be held on to.
For the art lover
An art print subscription brings beautiful, botanical-inspired artwork to their home on a monthly basis. Paired with a monthly postcard they can send to someone special and a floral-inspired extra, it's a little bit of happy mail that keeps delivering.
And if a subscription feels like too much of a commitment or if you know they'd love something with more impact, individual art prints make a beautiful, ready-to-display gift on their own.
For the person you're shopping for last minute
We've all been there, and we're here to help! Starting October 1st, you'll find a collection of thoughtfully made, ready-to-ship floral-inspired items in the shop. From small gifts to stocking stuffers, these will be pieces you can order with confidence, knowing they'll arrive on time, packaged ready to gift. Save the date and give yourself one less thing to worry about!
A Note from the Studio
Being a handmade artisanal shop, the majority of our items take weeks to create by hand. Due to this, a few dates to keep in mind:
November 9th: Custom Order Cutoff for Holidays (custom floral preservation and print orders). This date may come sooner depending on the number of orders we receive.
December 7th: Ready-to-Ship Item Cutoff for Holidays
While we'll accept orders after these dates, we will not be able to guarantee they will arrive on time.
