Dads around the world receive the same gifts year after year — socks, mugs, vests and bottle openers. But what do you give the dad who already has everything... and insists he wants nothing? At Tree2mydoor, we believe in gifts that grow. Trees and plants are meaningful, long-lasting and genuinely unforgettable — especially when chosen with care.
This gift guide brings together our best Father’s Day gifts for dads who want nothing. Whether your dad’s a gardener, a foodie or someone who simply appreciates nature, there’s something here that will surprise and delight him for years to come.
Thoughtful Gifts for Dads Who Say They Don’t Want Anything
Most dads will say they don’t need a thing — but that’s never the point, is it? Father’s Day is about showing appreciation. A living gift is a quiet reminder that he’s loved, thought of, and valued.
A Blooming Beautiful Rose Bush
Rose bushes are perfect if space is limited. They bring bursts of colour and fragrance to any patio or small garden. Our top picks?
- Special Dad Rose Bush – a floribunda variety with bold red blooms and a gentle fragrance. Best planted in the ground where it can stretch out.
- Dad Patio Rose – compact and ideal for pots. Delivered in a 17cm pot and fully gift wrapped with a charming ‘Dad’ tag.
Whether planted in a garden bed or nestled on a balcony, our rose gifts will keep blooming year after year — even if dad claimed he didn’t want a thing.
A Mythical Olive Tree
Olive trees have long symbolised peace, strength and enduring friendship — making them a fitting choice for a father figure.
- Twisted Olive Tree – with a hand-spiralled stem, this stylish tree adds Mediterranean charm to any garden.
- Mini Olive Tree – compact and charming, perfect for patios or small urban gardens.
- Olive Bush Gift – slow-growing and low-maintenance, this is ideal for dads with already-full gardens.
Delivered gift wrapped, any of our olive gifts will make a unique and meaningful impression this Father’s Day.
A Fruiting Bush or Plant
Fruit plants are thoughtful and practical gifts — they offer delicious rewards every summer. Once dad sees the ripening berries, he might finally change his tune about “not needing anything.”
- Blueberry Plant Gift – a bestseller. Ready for harvesting in July, this is a wonderful choice for health-conscious dads or those who love baking.
- Gooseberry Plant Gift – easy to grow and full of character, perfect for the dad who likes to try something different.
A Delicious Apple Tree
We’ve got an apple tree for every kind of dad:
- Katy Apple Tree – ideal for cider lovers. Fruity, vigorous, and great for homemade drinks.
- James Grieve Apple Tree – crisp, flavourful and great for fresh eating. (Bonus points if your dad’s name is James!)
Start a family orchard and let the gifting grow season after season.
A UK Grown Native Tree
For strong, dependable dads, a native oak tree says it all. Known by the ancient Celts as the “Father of the Woods”, the Oak Tree Gift is a mighty symbol of strength, wisdom and heritage.
If your dad is a foodie with a creative streak, consider the Oak Truffle Tree Gift. The roots of this sapling are inoculated to produce gourmet truffles within a few years — a luxurious treat from the soil itself.
Native oak saplings can be grown in pots for up to ten years before being planted out in open ground, making them adaptable for gardens of all sizes.
Why Choose a Tree or Plant Gift for Father’s Day?
