This ceramic brown owl planter is ideal for a succulent or herb plant. It features drain holes and a sloping design for easy watering. The owl planter should receive ten to twelve hours of indirect sunlight and periods of shade to keep it from sunburn. It is available in 18 colors and makes a lovely home or office decor item.

The owl throw pillow cover has cute prints and a cotton-linen blend material that is soft, comfortable, and airy. It can be mixed and matched with other bedding or home décor for a chic look. It’s an excellent choice for a living room, parlor, or bedroom.
