A poinsettia plant is the quintessential Christmas gift. Both affordable and appropriate for anyone, the flame red and bright green leaves of the poinsettia will liven up an office desk or home for weeks during the festive season. Wrapped in folds of tissue and finished with a Christmas bow, this cheery plant is a fun and easy-to-care gift. Instead of ordering flowers online, surprise a friend, colleague or client with a cheerful poinsettia delivered to their door.
