Overview
If your pre-coronavirus routine involved weekend plant sales and an ever-growing bounty of delightful green things, life's probably looking very different these days. Events are off the menu, shops are closed and that plant collection is pretty much dependent on whatever goodies you can get delivered to your door.
It's this situation that's helped spawn Melbourne's newest online plant and gift retailer Vine Boy, which is out to offer locals some fresh gifting options, without the exxy price tags. To save you forking out the big bucks, Vine Boy's online store is stocked with an affordable curation of potted indoor plants, along with Aussie-made gifts like St Ali specialty coffee, luxe bath products from Grown Alchemist, Zig Zag Rd wines, Moss St scented candles and pre-batched booze from the crew at Melbourne Martini. Best of all, it's refreshingly accessible, with prices starting from an easy $8.
The plant selection is a decent one, featuring varieties like Monstera deliciosa and Bird of Paradise, available in different sizes. And with chic pots as standard inclusions, you won't be surprised with a list of add-on charges at the checkout.
In fact, you can mix and match items to create a whole swag of different gift packs between the $50 and $100 mark, delivery costs included. There's no extra charge for orders over $75, otherwise it's a flat-rate delivery fee of $10 to most Melbourne suburbs. You'll even nab same-day delivery if you order before 11am.
