1. Conch Shaped Ceramic Planters
Words cannot begin to describe how much we love these mini conch shell shaped ceramic planters. Featuring various shades of calming blue glaze, these whimsical little creations are perfect for succulents and other houseplants, jewelry, or even small candles. Gift as a set or use as 4 separate presents! You might even be tempted to keep it for yourself. We certainly are! Bonus: has drain holes.
Promising Review: "I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box. The planters are large enough for my succulents and stylish enough to put anywhere in my house. Two of the planters are aqua and two are a beautiful blue/gray. The ceramic glaze on each allows for deeper hues in the recesses of the shells and lighter the other portions. Extremely beautiful and well made. They look much more expensive than they are. I highly recommend." - Dar
