Summertime’s on the way, you guys! That means no school, no shoes, and lots of flowers in our little corner of the planet. So, in the spirit of the season, we figured we’d pay homage to the brightest face in the flower world: the sunflower!
Luckily, sunflower gifts are pretty abundant, so it didn’t take long for us to find stuff that we’d want for ourselves. Downside? Too many choices = major online shopping rabbit hole.
To save you some serious time, we’ve compiled a gift guide full of sunflower gift ideas for the flower lover in your life. Unless you want to spend hours on the internet looking at ALL the sunflower things. Which would be totally understandable.
They’ll be impressed, you’ll get thank-you hugs, and everyone’s happy. Boom. Here you go!
Gifts for Sunflower Lovers
1. Van Gogh “Vase With Twelve Sunflowers” Wall Clock
We hope traditional wall clocks with actual faces and hands never go out of style – everyone should have one, in our not-so-humble opinions. Of course, it stands to reason the sunflower lover should have one featuring the most famous sunflower painting ever.
This clock comes in a natural, black, or white frame and your choice of black or white clock hands. It comes with a backside hook, ready to display prominently on the wall!
2. Bath & Body Works Golden Sunflower Set
The aromas of sunflower petals, vanilla, and orange flowers make this bath and body set irresistible to sunflower lovers. (And the people who get to smell them!)
This deluxe gift set comes with full-sized body cream, body lotion, body mist, and shower gel—everything she’ll need to stay radiant in the summer sun.
3. Half Sunflower Print
The simple and bold aesthetic of this sunflower art print from artist Alexis Arnold would brighten up any room! It would make a fantastic housewarming gift for your favorite sunflower lover, but feel free to gift it any time. No occasion necessary.
Comes in four sizes in print or on canvas, with twelve moulding choices. Four border and matting choices are available, too.
4. Garden Grow Kit
You didn’t think we’d exclude a sunflower garden kit from this list, did you? It’s basically the perfect sunflower gift! This one comes with six heirloom varieties in different sizes, shapes, and colors. (They’re not all yellow!)
Includes sunflower seeds and a recycled egg carton perfect for sprouting and housing those little seedlings until they’re ready to go into the ground for a brilliant sunflower patch that’ll make the neighbors jealous.
5. Customs Sunflowers Slip-On Vans
These. Are. So. CUTE! Vans makes all kinds of neat custom kicks, but we fell in love when we saw this cheerful sunflower design. The rugged canvas upper and thick platform rubber sole make them durable enough to last all summer, no matter what adventures await.
Comes in women’s sizes 5 to 14 1/2.
6. Tiny Sunflower Necklace
We think the best jewelry is both beautiful and a little unexpected. This necklace featuring a tiny sunflower encased in a glass teardrop pendant fits that description perfectly.
It comes in yellow gold, rose gold, or sterling silver with chain lengths from 18″-30″. Want to make it extra unique? Have it customized with a hand-stamped heart charm featuring her initial, a special date, or an object with a personal meaning.
7. Hello Sunshine Bouquet
For a co-worker, friend, or someone special living far away, flowers are always a great gift idea! Bouqs has mastered the art of simple floral arrangements using the freshest flowers, and we think they’ve outdone themselves with their Hello Sunshine sunflower arrangement.
This bouquet is available in three size options: the Grand, featuring fifteen flowers and solidago accents; the Deluxe, with ten flowers and solidago accents; or the Original, with five flowers and solidago accents.
You can have the flowers sent in a signature vase or a charming mason jar vase for immediate display.
8. “Adorable Sunflowers” Wrapped Canvas Painting Print
We thought this sweet still-life would be a cheerful addition to a sunny bedroom or kitchen! It’s printed on canvas then stretched over a sturdy wooden frame for that professional wrapped fine-art feel.
It’s available in five sizes to fit in any space, with wall mounting hooks, so it’s ready to hang.
9. Sunflower Wallet
Whether they’re already a sunflower enthusiast or a soon-to-be sunflower lover, the rustic, bohemian style of this handcrafted authentic leather wallet would appeal to anyone!
It closes with a magnetic metal clasp and features eight slots for cards, an ID window, two bill pockets, a zippered coin pocket, and an extra zippered pouch for stashing miscellaneous stuff.
10. Oversized Sunflower Hoodie
Low-key and super feminine, this hoodie is perfect for the sunflower lover who enjoys chilly summer nights on the beach. Made from a 50/50 cotton-poly blend, it comes in five colors and sizes S to 2XL.
11. Sunflower Phone Case
We’re not sure why wooden cellphone covers aren’t a bigger thing. (At least we don’t see them very often. Are we missing something?)
We think they’re fantastic, especially when featuring a rustic sunflower etching! It’s so unique; you can bet it’ll get your sunflower fan lots of compliments.
It’s available in white, too, and comes in pretty much any size to fit every iPhone and Android under the sun. Flower. Sunflower.
12. Sunflower Glass Suncatcher
Take a moment of mindfulness and gaze into this sunflower mandala. It’s hard not to Zen out, no? The beauty of nature does that to a person.
Handcrafted from multifaceted glass, you can add Swarovski or octagon crystal beads for extra-mystical sparkle. The colors are so rich and the patterns so compelling; we guarantee it’ll look gorgeous hanging in any window.
13. Liora Manne Indoor/Outdoor Rug
So cheery! We think this rug would be perfect for a sunroom, kitchen, or as a front doormat. It’s hand-hooked, durable, weather-resistant, and still manages to stay comfy on bare feet. The rug is fade-resistant, so its vivid colors will delight guests coming and going for a long time.
14. Market Tote Bag
Tote bags are endlessly useful, and the dramatic sunflower design on this one makes it a head-turner. Made from 100% polyester canvas, it’s printed with a high-resolution image of three unique sunflowers, capturing their natural beauty with up-close detail.
It’s perfect for carrying books, groceries, beach gear, and everything else a washable tote bag can hold. Comes in a basic tote style or the urban tote, featuring a lined interior, pockets, and magnetic closure.
15. Sunflower Carry-All Pouch Set
Is your sunflower lover far away? Do they need a little reminder you’re thinking about them? If so, this carry-all pouch set featuring a vintage sunflower print and the message “Always With You” checks all the “perfect gift” boxes.
She can use these pouches to carry everything from makeup to art supplies, and the largest pouch is big enough to fit a standard tablet.
They’re made from durable, machine washable canvas-like material with a poly/cotton lining and come in three sizes.
16. Sunflower Ring Catch
A ring catch provides a safe place to store rings next to the kitchen or bathroom sink while scrubbing hands and dishes. The little sunflower featured on this one has such personality; we were immediately charmed!
It’s crafted from stainless steel and brass for a beautiful contrast in color and definition.
17. Hand-Painted Sunflower Mug
Dreary day? Not for your sunflower fan when they sip their tea or coffee out of this colorful, cheerful mug! Since these mugs are handmade and painted by artisans in Mexico, each design will vary slightly, making every one unique.
We thought they’d make a fantastic teacher’s gift or gift for a co-worker filled with their favorite candy, lip balms – any small tokens of appreciation you think they’d appreciate.
Just a heads up: they’re hand-wash only and aren’t microwave safe.
18. Sunflower Themed Handmade Leather Journal
Something about a hand-etched leather journal just screams, “Create something awesome here!” Or “Get your day organized here!” Or “Take notes for something important here!” That may just be our imagination, though.
With its embossed sunflower design on the front and mandala design on the back, this journal is a cut above the rest. And that brass closure reminds us of something you’d find on a medieval book at a monastery. So cool.
19. Sunflower Umbrella
Inverted umbrellas are just so clever. So when we found this one with a perfect vivid yellow sunflower on it, we thought it would make a great gift. You don’t have to be a sunflower lover to appreciate this perfect pick-me-up for grey and rainy days!
Its 49″ circumference makes it big enough for two and folds down to 31″. It features a c-shaped handle for hands-free holding, too.
20. Sending You Sunshine Candle Gift Set
With a seemingly endless selection of greeting card options, this gift box with a cheery sunflower theme will have you covered no matter the occasion or recipient!

Add-ons include a lip balm, bath bomb, pendant or a personalized pot!
21. Sunflower Throw Blanket
Everyone loves a comfy throw blanket! These are made from 100% microfiber polyester for a soft, lightweight, yet warm blankie – perfect for snuggling.
With a whopping TEN sunflower designs to choose from, you’re sure to find something that fits your favorite sunflower fan’s tastes.
Here comes the sun!
Sunflowers are hard not to love, with their sunny disposition and quirky personalities. So it makes sense that sunflower gifts have all those qualities, too.
It also makes sense that plenty of interesting mythical stories about sunflowers pepper historical landscapes everywhere. Including ancient Greece.
Like so many other tales in Greek mythology, the story of the sunflower is both romantic and tragic.
Abbreviated version: A nymph fell in love with Apollo (who hasn’t, right?), but he ended up with another chick, so the nymph got jealous and had the other woman buried alive, but that made Apollo mad, so he turned the nymph into a sunflower.
She’s still in love with him, so she watches him push the sun across the sky in his chariot every day, and that’s why sunflowers follow the sun.
The end.
(Or it could be basic botany. Whatever. They’re still pretty.)
