Our Story
Back in 2004, we needed to send a sympathy gift across the country. Flowers were the obvious choice - but that’s just it. They felt too obvious. We pictured a home already filled with blooms, beautiful but fleeting.
Traditionally, flowers are seen as the go-to gift for moments of loss or celebration. But once the petals drop and the bouquets fade, what remains?
We wanted something more lasting - something meaningful. A living gift that would grow with time. After hours of searching, all we could find were more flowers. That’s when the idea for Tree Gifts NZ took root.
Why Trees?
Trees and living plant gifts mark the moment in a way that lasts. Whether it’s a birth, a birthday, a thank you, or a message of sympathy, a living tree becomes a symbol of that memory - one that grows, gives back to the environment, and brings joy for years to come.
Imagine being able to send a beautiful, sustainable gift to any doorstep in New Zealand. A gift that’s green in every way. That’s the heart behind Tree Gifts NZ.
What Makes Us Different
Every gift from Tree Gifts is prepared with care from the moment your order is placed.
-
🌱 Fresh from the nursery – We hand-select each tree or plant to ensure it's healthy and thriving.
-
🌿 No repotting gimmicks – We don’t disturb the roots or use decorative pots that look nice but lack drainage.
-
♻️ Eco-conscious presentation – Each gift is wrapped in natural hessian and ribbon, nestled in tissue, all recyclable or reusable.
-
🪴 Ready to grow – Your plant stays in its growing pot and can remain there for 2–3 months before replanting.
Every detail - from the plant itself to the packaging - is chosen with care to ensure your gift arrives looking beautiful and ready to thrive.
