You are here: / Gift a Tree in Celebration (Three Easy Steps)

Give your friends and family members something truly special for their next milestone or event—plant a celebration tree in their honor. These days, whether it’s because they’re embracing minimalism or looking to reduce waste, more people are choosing experience gifts and gifts that “pay it forward” over physical items. A gift tree is a celebration gift that creates a lasting legacy for your recipient by planting a tree in a country or region where it is needed due to forest fires, climate change or deforestation.

The Gifted Tree makes it easy to plant a tree for someone you care about. Every day our customers order gift trees to celebrate a wide range of life events, including birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, retirements, births, graduations, holidays, and other milestones. Planting a celebration tree is also a thoughtful gift for teachers and employees, along with anyone else you’d like to recognize for their efforts. 

Our celebration gift trees are popular for giving to outdoor enthusiasts, gardeners, travelers, and people who are passionate about the environment and sustainability. Have someone in your life who’s hard to shop for? The Gifted Tree is an ideal solution that’s sure to be appreciated by any person who seems to already have everything they need. 

To order a gift tree, simply follow the three steps below: Choose the certificate presentation you’d like to send to your recipient to celebrate their event or milestone. Next, select a planting location in one of 30 countries on six continents or allow our team to choose a location that is most in need of trees. Finally, add your personal message. We’ll be sure your recipient receives their unique and memorable tribute card and certificate and that their tree is planted by one of our partner organizations, making a positive, lasting impact on the planet.

A Gift Tree Fits Every Occasion

Some gifts get used once. A celebration tree grows for decades, standing as a living reminder of the moment you marked together. Whether you’re honoring a life well lived, celebrating a major milestone, or simply showing someone how much they mean to you, a tree planted in their name carries meaning that lasts long after the occasion has passed.

Our customers gift trees for:

  • Birthdays, retirements, and graduations
  • Weddings and anniversaries
  • New babies and new beginnings
  • In memory of a loved one
  • Teacher and employee appreciation
  • Holidays and “just because” moments

If you’re shopping for someone who values the environment, prefers experiences over things, or simply seems to have everything, a tribute tree is a gift with genuine purpose. You’re not just sending a certificate. You’re funding the planting of a real tree in a region of the world where it’s needed most.

Your Gift Tree Makes a Real Difference in the World

Every tree gift we fulfill is planted by one of our trusted partner organizations in a location that genuinely needs it. We work across more than 30 countries on six continents, focusing on areas affected by deforestation, wildfires, and climate-related land degradation. Your gift doesn’t just honor the person you care about. It actively helps restore ecosystems and support the communities that depend on them.

When your recipient receives their tribute card and certificate, it reflects something that is actually happening on the ground. Over 250,000 trees have been planted through The Gifted Tree since we launched, and every one of them started with someone deciding to give a gift that matters.

The Gifted Tree is a BBB-accredited business. We’re proud of that, but what we’re most proud of is the trust our customers place in us when they choose to honor the people they love with something this meaningful.

Ready to Give a Gift That Grows?

Ordering takes just three steps. Choose your tribute design, select a planting location, and add your personal message. We’ll take care of the rest, delivering a beautiful certificate and tribute card to your recipient while ensuring their tree gets planted where it’s needed most.
