From the beginnings of time, plants were there not only to feed us and make the world more beautiful, but also to deliver messages. We're sure you've read some old tale back when you were a kid about a man who gave a rose to his woman as a symbol of love. Even Shakespeare recognised violet to represent faith in his Hamlet.

And so we asked ourselves - what if we'd thank the people around us with plants? After all - Thanksgiving is coming up soon! And this time we want to give a gift of meaning and life to our most beloved ones, rather than yet another Christmas sweater.

So we did some research and found 17 plants that would make a great gift and tell a meaningful and lasting “thank you”. Give the appropriate plant to someone special, add a card with an explanation, and we can promise you that this is going to be the Thanksgiving they will never forget.

1. Sage - for thanking someone who has shared their wisdom with you.
