Meet Say It With Succulents’ Hannah Burgess

The very stylish Hannah Burgess is a former criminologist with a house full of plants who started her own business selling succulents as mail order gifts. Her foray into the trendy houseplants started simply when she bought her first succulent for her new home. “One succulent, soon turned to 10 and suddenly, I found myself obsessed by them,” she says.

This sparked an idea for a business and she spent 18 months developing Say It With Succulents, going back to uni to study project management. Eventually she left her job to focus full-time on launching the brand in February.

Why not say it with succulents?

I received this divine blog first birthday gift from the Life InStyle and Maison InStyle teams last week. I think it’s such a great alternative to flowers and lasts so much longer. Also easy to transport home (who else has battled, slightly embarrassed, home on the bus with a bunch of flowers?) and will last for ages! The packaging design is really cute and the grey pot will go with everything. PLUS you could send this to a guy (not that I don’t know plenty of men who wouldn’t mind receiving flowers but maybe that’s indicative of the interiors industry!).  I’ll definitely be considering Say It With Succulents next time I need to send a gift. What do you like sending as a gift instead of flowers? I think cupcakes have had their day! Check out Say It With Succulents today! They have a Mothers Day competition running on their site at the moment.
