Birth Tree By Month Gift Card + Seeds
What’s Included in Your Birth Tree Gift
Every birth tree gift ships as a complete package: a printed card, a personalized message, and real seeds of the tree tied to that birth date. It arrives ready to give, with nothing to assemble or print at home. Click to view sample pages to see exactly how the card looks inside and out.
- A packet of the birth tree seeds along with planting instructions. They now can grow their own birth tree!
- A gift card with a beautiful 4-color picture of their birth tree on the front.
- Information about the personality traits associated with that birth tree along with a list of those they are most compatible with (on the inside left of the card).
- Your personal and custom message to the recipient (on the inside right of the card).
- More birth tree history, on the back, along with a complete list of all birth trees and their calendar dates.
The card is a keepsake on its own, but the seed packet is what makes the gift last. Recipients can plant the seeds in a pot or in the ground and watch the tree connected to their birth date take root. It is a gift that keeps going long after the card is opened.
How to Find Your Birth Tree by Month
The Celtic tree calendar divides the year into 13 lunar months, so birth tree dates do not line up neatly with standard calendar months. Someone born on June 20, for example, falls under the Oak, while a June 5 birthday lands under the Hawthorn. Find the date range below that includes the birthday you are shopping for, and that is the tree.
If the birthday falls close to a boundary date, use the exact day rather than the month to choose. Each card lists the full calendar on the back, so recipients can look up birth trees for family and friends as well.

Why a Birth Tree Makes a Meaningful Gift
Most gifts get used up or set aside. A birth tree gift does the opposite: it starts as a card and becomes something living. The personality traits printed inside give the recipient something to read and talk about, and the seeds give them something to do with it.
This works for a wide range of occasions. New parents get a keepsake tied to their baby’s birth date. Adults with everything get something they do not already own. Milestone birthdays get a gift with more weight than a gift card. And because the card is mailed flat with free first-class shipping, it works just as well for someone across the country as for someone down the street.
Birth tree gifts also suit people who care about the environment or simply enjoy gardening. The seeds are real and viable, and the planting instructions are written for beginners.

Frequently Asked Questions About Birth Trees
What is a birth tree?
A birth tree is the tree assigned to your birth date under the Celtic tree calendar, a 13-month lunar calendar used by the ancient druids. Each tree carries a set of personality traits and a list of compatible signs. Your birth tree depends on the exact date you were born, not the standard calendar month.
How do I know which birth tree to choose?
Match the birthday to the date ranges listed on this page. Because the Celtic calendar follows lunar months, the ranges cross over standard months. If the birthday falls near the start or end of a range, use the exact day to pick the correct tree.
Do the seeds actually grow?
Yes. Each packet contains viable seeds of that specific birth tree, along with planting instructions. Following the instructions should produce growth, though germination depends on conditions like soil, climate, and care, so growth is not guaranteed.
How long does shipping take, and where do you ship?
