12 Days of Christmas Day 9 - Floral & Scent Lovers
Some people experience the world through flowers and fragrance.
They’re the ones who notice what a room smells like before anything else. Who always have a candle on the go. Who will happily spend half an hour fluffing stems in a vase until the arrangement feels just right. Their home is full of small sensory glimmers, a hydrangea stem on the bedside, a diffuser at the front door, a candle quietly burning on the kitchen bench.
Day 9 of our 12 Days of Christmas is for them: the floral and scent lovers who want their spaces to feel soft, alive and a little bit special every day. Our Floral & Scent Lovers collection brings together our favourite artificial stems, faux greenery, stone and glass vases, and fragrance from Ecoya and The Aromatherapy Co., so you can build gifts that look as beautiful as they feel.
For the next 24 hours, this Day 9 collection is 15% off. And because we love making December feel a little more fun, we’re also running an Instagram giveaway where you can win your choice of an in-stock item from today’s edit.
Forever in bloom: faux florals they’ll use year-round
Fresh flowers are beautiful, but they’re fleeting, and not always realistic in busy seasons. High-quality faux stems give you the same softness and shape without the wilting, and they let your floral friends keep their favourite look all year.
From our Faux Flowers collection, a few hero stems to build around:
Hawthorn Blossom Spray, Tall White Artificial Stem: airy, floaty white blossoms on a tall, slender branch. Perfect solo in a statement vase or layered with greenery for that wild meadow feel.
Sublime Hydrangea Green 65cm, Artificial Flower Stem: a full, generous hydrangea head in soft green tones that brings instant volume and calm to an arrangement.
Dutch Green Hydrangea Stem, 67cm Faux Flower: taller and more sculptural, ideal for architectural vases and console styling.
Artificial Country Hydrangea Stem (Cream, Green, Rose Pink), 46cm: softer, romantic hydrangea for bedside tables, bathrooms or coffee tables.
Real Touch Hydrangea, White and Green, 47cm Artificial Flower Stem: gentle, realistic, and perfect for smaller-scale styling.
Pompom Spray White, Set of 4 Stems (59cm): tiny white pompom blooms that look incredible grouped in a slim vase for a cloud-like effect.
White Wisteria Spray, 92cm Cascading Faux Floral Stem: cascading white blooms that add movement to tall vases or shelf edges.
For texture and greenery (the details that make arrangements feel “designed”):
Faux Sedum Spray, Textural Greenery Stem (58cm): clustered sedum heads that bring earthy, tonal texture, and look beautiful with travertine and stone.
Sedum Spray in Brown, Lifelike Textural Stem (58cm): adds warmth and depth to neutral arrangements.
Garden Sage Spray, Faux Stem with Pink and Sage Green Tones (97cm): soft, dusky foliage that suits coastal, Nordic and soft-minimal palettes.
Gypsophila Spray, 65cm Artificial Baby’s Breath Stem: fine, cloud-like blooms for tucking into arrangements or styling alone for something gentle and romantic.
Gifting tip: build a bouquet of three to five stems, tie with linen ribbon, and pair with a candle or diffuser so the gift feels complete.
Lush, no-maintenance greenery: faux plants and trailing stems
For the floral friend who loves greenery but not the watering schedule, this is the easiest win.
String of Pearls on Hanger, 66cm Faux Hanging Succulent: perfect for bathrooms, kitchens or bedrooms. Hang from a peg rail or shelf for instant “plant person” energy.
Swiss Cheese Garland 1.2m, Realistic Faux Greenery Vine: wrap around shelves, headboards or curtain rods for a lush look without the fuss.
Artificial Potted Peace Lily, 48cm White Flowering Plant: classic and calm. Ideal for rentals, darker corners or busy households.
These pair beautifully with scent gifts, such as a trailing plant on a shelf with a diffuser beside it, or a peace lily near a favourite candle on a console.
Vessels as statement pieces: vases and styled bases
The right vase turns a single faux stem into a whole mood. If you’re shopping for a true floral lover, gift the vessel. They will use it again and again.
A few favourites to anchor Day 9:
Thira Stone Vase, Textured Vessel: striking with white stems like Hawthorn Blossom or a full cluster of Pompom stems.
Nerina Stone Vase, Sage Textured Vessel (Small and Large): soft sage stone that plays beautifully with green hydrangeas and tonal foliage.
Cut Glass Vase (Small and Large), Textured Glass Flower Vase: catches the light beautifully. Perfect for layered bouquets or a single dramatic stem.
To make it feel styled, not just placed, ground the vignette with a base:
Line Tray, Travertine Display and Serving Tray
Bay Round Tray, Travertine Décor (Light or Burnt finish)
Scent as atmosphere: candles and diffusers
Flowers dress the eye. Fragrance shapes the mood. For Day 9, scent is the second hero.
ECOYA gifting favourites:
ECOYA Madison Jar Soy Candle (Mini and Large), Signature Fragrances: the definition of signature scent gifting.
Ecoya Fragranced Reed Diffuser (Mini 50ml and Large 200ml): perfect for bathrooms, bedrooms and entryways. Minis make excellent add-ons.
Ecoya Mini Gift Sets: beautifully boxed and easy to gift.
ECOYA Plug-In Diffuser: an elegant system for consistent home fragrance. Ideal for hallways, living spaces and guest rooms.
ECOYA Car Diffuser: a thoughtful “everywhere scent” gift for commuters, school runs and summer road trips.
Smith and Co. for more complex blends:
Smith and Co. Diffuser, Amber and Freesia (200ml): bright florals balanced with warm, grounded notes.
Smith and Co. Diffuser, Tonka and White Musk (200ml): soft, clean and cosy for bedrooms and dressing areas.
Smith and Co. Diffuser, Tabac and Cedarwood (200ml): deeper and cocooning. Perfect for moodier interiors and winter styling.
Matching tip: pair soft whites and greens with lighter florals. Pair deeper greens, browns and textural foliage with warmer, woodier blends.
Little scent extras: plug-ins, linen and everyday layers
If they love fragrance, these small additions make the gift feel considered:
Laundry fragrance add-ons, such as dryer ball fragrance droppers
These are ideal as finishing touches alongside a vase or a bouquet bundle.
