Everyone knows the feeling: you just remembered a birthday in time, a thank-you note really can't wait any longer, or you just want to surprise someone spontaneously. At such moments, you're not just looking for a gift, but a way to deliver a last-minute gift without it taking three days to arrive — you want something beautiful that will be there tomorrow.
At The Green Bottle Garden, you can order today and, in most cases, have your gift delivered tomorrow. No standard box of chocolates or a gift voucher that disappears into a drawer immediately, but a plant delivered as a gift: a terrarium, a completely self-sufficient ecosystem, or an atmospheric bonsai in a designer vase — the kind of gift that will make someone happy weeks later too.
We deliver in the Netherlands and Belgium. For Germany, the average delivery time is 3 to 7 working days. Do you still want your gift delivered in Germany the next day? We can arrange that for you too — please send us an email, and we will gladly explain the options and associated costs.
For what occasions does this work?
- A birthday gift you remembered just in time
- A thank you that you prefer not to postpone
- A baby gift or congratulations you want to send quickly
- Or just a spontaneous surprise, without any special occasion
Gift delivery tomorrow or even today: how fast is it really?
We like to be honest about this, because a late gift is more annoying than no gift at all.
Ordered on a working day? Then the chance of next-day delivery is approximately 98%.
Ordered on Friday and needs to be delivered to a business? Then we always send an email asking if you prefer delivery on Saturday or Monday. If you don't respond to that email, we will arrange for the package to be delivered on Monday as standard.
What we cannot promise is a 100% guarantee. We pack and ship your order as quickly as possible, but once the package leaves our premises, we are dependent on our carrier. A busy period in the delivery network, traffic, or an unforeseen delay with the courier can cause a package to take an extra day to arrive. Fortunately, this rarely happens, but we prefer to tell you honestly rather than make a promise we cannot always keep.
In short:
- Ordered on a working day = ± 98% chance of next-day delivery
- Ordered on Friday with delivery address at a business: we will email you asking about Saturday or Monday — if no response, we deliver on Monday
- We cannot give a 100% guarantee, as the final step is with our carrier
- Standard delivery applies within the Netherlands and Belgium; for Germany, it's an average of 3–7 working days, unless you email us about options for faster delivery
Does it really need to arrive on a specific day with certainty? Then order a day earlier than strictly necessary. This gives you leeway should delivery unexpectedly take a little longer, and you won't have to stress.
Do you want to be 100% sure that your gift will be delivered the next day — or even the same day? Please send us an email, and we will gladly explore the possibilities together. There's a good chance we can even deliver it on the same day: we might even drive the gift to you ourselves.
A gift that leaves a lasting impression
While a last-minute gift often feels rushed, that doesn't have to be the case with a plant in glass. A terrarium, closed ecosystem, or bonsai in a designer vase looks well-cared for and thoughtful. Easy to personalize with a card, and just that little bit special that a standard gift lacks.
View the full range at The Green Bottle Garden and have your plant gift delivered: order today before 12:00 PM for the best chance of next-day delivery — within the Netherlands and Belgium.
