Retro Mario Block Planters

These Super Mario-inspired planters come as a set of three, each 3D-printed to look like a block from the games. The main size is 10 by 10 centimetres, and the walls are a chunky 1.3 centimetres thick, so they feel more solid than most novelty printed pots. Those thick walls also help them sit firmly on a desk instead of tipping at the first nudge.

If you want something for a small succulent or a compact plant, the 10 cm size is the one that fits. There are also 6 by 6 cm options for tinier plants or a narrower shelf. The catch is root space. These are snug, so stick with plants that don’t mind being a bit cramped.

For a Nintendo fan who also keeps plants, this is an easy gift that works on a windowsill or beside a monitor, where the block shapes do most of the decorating. It’s a small, playful piece rather than a serious planter, so think of it as a fun accent for your plant corner.
