It’s tough to hit that holiday gift trifecta of unexpected, practical, and popular, but indoor gardens manage to nail it. Think about it: Plants are universally beloved, from fresh flowers on the table to fresh veggies in the fridge. And because indoor gardens are all but automatic, green thumbs aren’t a prerequisite. Though gardening fans can still have a lot of fun with them, too. In fact, we’re willing to bet that AeroGarden has one for everyone on your list.

AeroGarden makes indoor gardens in all shapes and sizes, all with one thing in common: They let you grow herbs, veggies, and flowers 12 months a year — no sun, soil, or expertise required. AeroGardens set up in minutes, with full-spectrum grow lights that help plants grow five times faster than they would in a traditional outdoor garden. Their no-mess seed pods come in more than 70 varieties of non-GMO herbs, vegetables, and flowers. And watering and feeding reminders are automated, so growing has never been easier. Below is a pick for everyone on your list. Get ready to be this year’s favorite gift giver.
