I was out walking on Sunday and it seemed like spring had arrived. Well I know the weather can be deceptive at this time of the year (in fairness at any time of the year in Britain). But I have already noticed daffodils coming up by the side of the road.

Nature has such a benefit to our mental health and well-being.

If you have thought that some kind of plant promotional product would be a good idea, well now is the perfect time to do something about it.

Not just because spring is the time for planting but also because April is stress awareness month.

There are many very positive reasons for choosing something natural for your next campaign.

Even a brief exposure to plants supports relaxation and reduced levels of stress.

This makes the workplace more comfortable, increases happiness, enables staff to think clearer and become more thoughtful.

Staff become more focussed. Plants create what is termed by scientists ‘soft fascination’. There is evidence that this leads to greater creativity and less mental fatigue.

Plants create a healthier environment – they filter toxins from the air.

Caring for a plant can create a feeling of accomplishment reducing stress and boosting your confidence and mood.

One of my favourite products has got to be the desk top gardens.

And it’s not just me clients love them too, and it’s easy to see why.

They have a range of branding possibilities. Full colour print options are available as well as pantone matched prints.

Packaged in a kraft box that can be customised with your design and featuring a tube made from recycled aluminium.

Inside, you’ll find everything you need to get started: clear instructions, soil, and seeds. The only thing missing? Water.

Priced between £3-£6 each depending on quantity ordered and branding.

A promotional product is a handshake. It should reflect who you are.   

By choosing a living, green product, you’re making a powerful statement without saying a word.

First, it’s a demonstration of your commitment to the environment. It’s a “green” choice that shows you are a responsible, forward-thinking company aligned with the values of today’s eco-conscious audience.

But the message goes deeper. A plant needs care to thrive, perfectly mirroring the ideal client-brand relationship. It’s a living metaphor that whispers, “We are invested in helping you grow.”

Ultimately, it tells the world that you are more than a vendor. You are a company that cares about the planet and the people on it.

The Desk Top Cube is made of alder wood.

It comes with a full colour wrap branded with your logo and message and can be engraved to provide a long-lasting message.

By choosing a plant product involving the use of recycled and natural materials you are demonstrating a tangible commitment to environmental responsibility, aligning with the values of eco-conscious clients and employees.

Use of wood and other sustainable materials and recycled materials such as aluminium reduces the environmental impact of these products.

By using natural products there is minimal waste – most of the product if not all can be recycled, repurposed or will just biodegrade and certainly doesn’t need to end up in landfill.

What I love about this product is it’s a real multi-use item. Not only is it a plant pot but it is also a pen holder and phone holder.

The great thing about multi-use items is that you get more than one chance to provide something that is useful. It is hard to know what people will like as everybody has different wants and needs but by offering something with more than one use you increase the chance that it will be of use.

There are a number of branding options for the Thila Desk Garden. Have it engraved or printed or domed.

The beauty of a plant product is that it can provide long lasting engagement. They require care to nurture them. They provide excitement when they flower. 

Every time the recipient looks at his or her desktop garden, or growing plant in an aluminium pot they will be reminded of your brand.
