Unfortunately, the weather outside is not ideal for growing plants right now but that doesn't mean that you can't have some greenery inside either. If you haven't already grown your own herbs and flowers, give it a try with these adorable starters sets from Japan. They provide you with everything you need to start a small plant by the window and can be transferred into bigger pots once established.

These are easy to follow and great as little gifts or stocking stuffers.
