Are you looking for gift ideas for someone who likes trees?  Well, look no further.  At ArborTrue, we’ve compiled a list of twenty great ideas for the tree fans in your life.  You’re sure to find something they’ll like.

1. Trees: Well, of course!  If a person likes trees, a tree can make an excellent gift.  It could be something that grows indoors, something that can grow in a pot outdoors, or something that could be planted in the landscape.  Think about the kinds of trees the person might like such as something ornamental or something fruit-bearing.  Keep in mind things like the growing region, disease resistance, whether or not the tree is self-fertile for fruit trees, and other things.
2. Tools: A person who has trees could use all sorts of tools and related things.  These could be things like pruning shears, pruning saws, gloves, shovels, and a variety of other things.
3. Outdoor clothing: If they’re outside looking at trees or tending them, they’re going to need something to wear.  You could buy outdoor shirts, outdoor pants, caps, jackets, and other things.  Keep in mind the person’s size and style.
4. Hiking shoes/boots: These can make a great gift for someone who likes to walk outdoors and look at trees.
5. Sunglasses: Sunglasses can make a great gift that can help a person see better in situations of bright sunlight and can also add to their style.  There are a number of different options and varieties to choose from.
6. Binocular: These can be great if a person is outdoors and wants to see a tree closer or see a tree at a distance.
7. Photography related items: These could be things like cameras, tripods, lenses, and other things a tree fan could use to photograph trees.  In addition to helping a person enjoy trees, they could also be the start of a brand new hobby.
8. An experience: A gift doesn’t always have to be a thing.  It can be an experience.  You could take the person to an arboretum, a garden, a park, or even on a nature vacation.  There are a number of great tree experiences and many can be free.  The gift is the experience and also spending time with the person.
9. Picnic kit: If you’re going to be out and about looking at trees, you’ve got to eat!  A picnic kit with a basket, different containers, insulated containers, and more can be a wonderful gift for someone who likes to spend time outdoors.
10. Bonsai tree with assorted items: We mentioned trees above, but this is kind of special.  A bonsai tree is like a majestic tree in miniature.  It can be something a person can learn about and that they can enjoy tending.  You can also buy items to go with the tree such as a pot, the right kind of potting soil, pruners, books, and more.
11. Books: Books can make a great gift for a tree fan.  You could give them a table top book, a reference book, a book about specific trees, and more.  There is a wide variety to choose from.
12. Mushroom growing kit: If you’ve been reading our Mushroom Monday posts you know we love these fun guys.  Did you also know you can buy kits to grow edible mushrooms?  You can!  These can be a great gift for someone who likes mushrooms and can be a great connection to trees.
13. Tree-related food: Speaking of edible things, tree-related food can be a great gift.  You could buy a person mushrooms, fruit, or nuts.  Consider buying the person something they haven’t tried before to give them a new experience.  You could also give them things that can come tree-shaped like cookies, cakes, or candies.
14. Hammock: Not every tree-activity has to be, well, active.  A hammock that a person can set up under trees can be a wonderful gift.  It can help a person be in nature and provide a great napping spot.
15. Tree furniture: Have you seen furniture like tables and chairs that are not just made from wood, but retain the character and style of the trees they come from?  It could be a piece that shows off the grain pattern, growth rings, bark, or branches.  There are a wide variety of unique items to choose from.
16. Tree art: Tree art can be a great way to bring the appreciation of trees indoors.  You could give paintings, photographs, sculptures, or pottery.  There are a number of different options and styles.
17. Mulch: Although not the most glamorous gift, mulch can have a number of benefits when applied correctly.  We have a blog post with tips for applying mulch if you want to learn more.  Mulch can be something a person could use and it can make a quick improvement to their landscape.
18. Weather monitor: These can be wonderful little gadgets that can tell a person things like temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure.  They can come with outdoor monitors and indoor displays.  They can be useful and interesting for a person who wants to monitor their local conditions.
19. Soil test: Soil tests can tell a person a lot about their soil such as the nutrients it has and the structure.  Of course, you’d have to tell the recipient beforehand since you would need to collect samples, but this can make a great gift that can give a person a lot of information.
20. An Arborist consultation: What could be a better gift than arranging for a person to meet with a professional arborist to ask questions and learn about the trees in their landscape?  They could learn a great deal of information, develop a plan for the care of their trees, and get questions answered.  ArborTrue provides arborist consultations as a service.  You can contact us at 832-980-8733 to arrange for one.
