There’s no better way to make yourself feel special than to go ahead and indulge in a or plant gift—for yourself. That’s right, Al’s Florist said it: You should be buying the s or plants you want for yourself. It’s an important act of self-care, at least as important as springing for that massage or getting your toes done. And there are so many proven health benefits to having greens or s in the home that you really can’t go wrong.

One of the best kinds of gifts to give yourself when it comes to the living variety is a dish of luscious, bright green succulents. Why? Because you get all the benefits we mentioned above (and they are manifold, everything from better cognition to memory to oxygenated air), and yet you don’t have to fuss over them too much. And they last! Imagine Sensational Succulents posing next to your bathtub or greeting you every morning on your desk at work.

This piece has just enough interest without being distracting and won’t take a lot of care to keep it looking nice. Succulents are hardy—give them a bit of water and a bit of light and watch them remain enthusiastically green for a good long while.
