Houseplant gift?

Hello ladies! I am generally a lurker and wanabe gardener. I have a question that maybe you could help me out with. 

I want to get SIL a nice Orchid (or some easy houseplant) starter kit for her new house. She is loving being a new wife and I feel that would be appropriate and budget friendly for Christmas. (I hope so.) Do you have any suggestions on where I would find one of these? Google is not helping me today. LOL. 

TIA

  • Orchids aren't the easiest of plants. They're finicky, but easily found at any Home Depot, Wally World, or nursery. My mom used to grow a large amaryllis that had beautiful red flowers and was easy to take care of.

  • A nice, leafy non-flowering plant is usually a safe bet, most of them are easy to take care of. Talk to someone in the garden dept. at somewhere like Lowes, Home Depot, or Wal-Mart, they can steer you in the right direction.

  • I saw some orchids at Sam's Club ($29.99) and they had directions for sticking an ice cube (once a week/month?) to water it. I bought a terrarium on Etsy for $20 (for work Christmas present.) It was really cute and different! I would also second an amaryllis, I love paper whites too BUT I think I am the only person who likes the smell of them..lol...
