14 Gifts for the Herb Lover in Your Life
Let’s look at some of the best gifts for the herb lover in your life! You are sure to find a wonderful gift with these great options.
These are great ideas for the holidays, birthday gifts, Mother’s Day gifts, or any special occasion throughout the year.
1. Herbal Vinegars
The herb lovers in your life will love a gift like this. Vinegar infused with herbs brings so much magic and flavor to the culinary scene.
They will love using these in all their favorite dishes. A book about how to make herbal vinegar is also a great gift idea. I love to make my own products!
2. Olive Oil or Cooking Oil
There are so many different types of olive oil and cooking oil. I have a specialty vinegar and oil store in my town, and I love visiting and finding my next favorite.
They come in glass bottles and are infused with different herbs and spices. They add the best flavor to your favorite meals. If cooking is also a favorite pastime of theirs, they are sure to love a specialty oil.
3. Essential Oils

4. Indoor Plants
Does it get cold where you live? Buy the herb lover (or plant-loving friend) in your life some indoor herb plants they can grow any time of the year!
If they love to have fresh herbs all the time, having indoor herb plants is a much better option than buying them from the grocery store. They will love it!
5. Herb Kit
Herb garden kits are a great gift for someone starting an herb garden.
They are easy for beginner gardeners to maintain and can provide fresh herbs to enjoy.
6. Herbal Body Cream
This is a great herbal gift for someone who loves to pamper themselves. Herbal body cream is perfect for skin and pampering yourself after a relaxing bath.
Herbal products are always a great gift idea.
7. Herb Drying Rack
A drying rack is a wonderful way to preserve herbs that cannot be used immediately. Dried herbs can be incorporated into cooking, teas, and many other ways.
Someone who loves to harvest herbs would enjoy an herb drying rack.
8. Herb Stripper
I love the herb stripper that I have! It’s a great tool to use in the kitchen.
It saves time stripping the herbs off their stems. Anything that helps save time in the kitchen is a win for me.

9. Herb Box
Is the herb lover in your life also someone with a green thumb? Do they love to plant a garden and take care of it? Herb boxes are great containers to get an herb garden started.
The raised containers are perfect for herbs, and they look great on your front or back porch or somewhere around your home.
10. Herbal Tea Blends
Do you have someone in your life that is an herb lover, but also a tea lover? This holiday season, bring them some joy by getting different herbal tea blends for them to try.
It’s such a fun experience to try new tea blends and possibly find a new favorite.
11. A Sun Hat
A sun hat is a great gift idea for someone who loves to work in the herb garden. It will help keep the sun off their face and out of their eyes while they are working outside.
It’s also great for wearing out during the summer so they can use it for more than just working in the garden.
12. Herbal Candle
Candles are always an amazing gift. An herbal candle that has small pieces of herbs smells amazing and is so fresh. The scent is strong and makes any living space smell fabulous.
If the herb lover in your life also likes candles, you can’t go wrong with one like this!
13. Herbal Education
The gift of an herbal education would be amazing! There are courses on different platforms for people who want to learn more about herbs, how to use them, their medicinal properties, how to harvest them, and different things they can make with them.
I’ve taken a course before to learn more about the different types of herbs and how to forage them safely in the wild.
This would be a fun and exciting gift for someone truly interested in learning more about herbs, or an aspiring herbalist.

Do you need a great way to keep track of the gifts you’ve bought, who they are for, and if you have wrapped them or not?
