Need to Order a Plant Gift like a Cactus or Other Succulent Plant

I don't know where to buy a nice plant gift (to be shipped to Austin, TX) that is specifically a succulent plant or cactus plant. It is a gift, so I want it to be in a dish or ceramic type planter. Has anyone ever purchased or received such a gift and can recommend a source? Is there a nice cactus farm or aloe farm or something similar that ships nice quality plants that arrive in good condition? I'd love to order from a small business, other than just FTD or other mass producers/shippers. But it has to be that kind of plant only. Thanks!

Try etsy. I know there are a ton of really neat air plants in pretty containers, even fully loaded terrariums. I've bought plenty on there, including herbs and succulents and I've always been pleased. You can look at the seller's feedback as well. Just read the description to see if a container is included. You will need to make sure the shipping address reflects that who it is being sent to though, and I would contact the seller separately as well to makes sure they know which address it is being sent to, as some usually send ti to the paypal address.
