The month of February invites us to slow down and pay attention to the people who matter most. It’s the month of love in all its forms, romantic, familial and quietly supportive, in a time when thoughtful gestures carry real weight.
February 2026 also welcomes the ‘Year of the (Fire) Horse’ at Chinese New Year, a symbol of warmth, energy and renewed purpose. It’s a gentle reminder that the most meaningful gifts are often the ones that grow with time.
Whether you’re marking a birthday, an anniversary or simply letting someone know you’re thinking of them, a living gift offers a lasting way to show care and can be cherished for years to come.

February Birthday Gift Ideas
February birthdays often arrive during a quieter, more reflective time of year. That’s why gifts that grow slowly and steadily feel especially thoughtful. They offer something to look forward to as the seasons turn.
Crab Apple Tree Gift
£24.50
If you’re choosing a gift during the month of love, the Crab Apple Tree is a beautifully symbolic place to start. Often known as the “Tree of Love”, it represents connection, beauty and generosity.
Native to the UK, this small apple tree arrives resting in full bare winter mode and fills with delicate pink and white blossoms in future spring times. Over future summers, the blossom gives way to decorative fruit, ready for harvesting in autumn. It’s well suited to smaller gardens and requires very little maintenance once established.
While crab apples aren’t usually eaten straight from the tree, they’re perfect for making homemade crab apple jelly – a thoughtful detail for anyone who enjoys cooking or preserving seasonal produce.
Each little tree arrives at 40 to 60cm in height, carefully gift wrapped in an eco-friendly bag and packed into a purpose-made box. You can include a personalised message and we’ll deliver it directly to your family, friend or loved one’s door.
Delivery tip: Native tree saplings are dormant at this time of year. Once planted, this tree will begin to burst into life within 5 to 8 weeks.

Olive Tree Gift
£44
An ancient symbol of peace, friendship and hope, the olive tree has been treasured for thousands of years. Some are believed to be over 3,000 years old – a powerful symbol of endurance and continuity.
Compact and slow growing, this tree is ideal for patios, decking or smaller gardens. It needs very little maintenance and suits even those with minimal gardening experience – simply place it somewhere sunny and sheltered.
Olives are also a much-loved Mediterranean staple, rich in antioxidants. For food lovers and keen hosts, this is a gift that combines beauty with purpose.
Delivery tip: This tree can be placed outdoors straight away. During colder spells, it’s best kept in a sheltered spot outdoors until spring.

Rowan Tree Gift
£24.50
The Rowan Tree holds a special place in folklore and tradition. It appears in the Celtic Tree Calendar between 21st January and 17th February and is often associated with protection, intuition and resilience.
Sometimes known as the ‘Lady of the Mountains’, the Rowan thrives in challenging conditions, yet feels perfectly at home in UK gardens. It’s a smaller native tree with delicate pinnate leaves, clusters of white spring flowers and vivid red berries later in the year.
Traditionally planted near homes in Scotland for protection, the Rowan makes a meaningful birthday gift – especially for a February birthday – symbolising strength, care and a watchful presence.
Delivery tip: Rowan saplings are dormant during winter. They can be planted in a large pot initially and will begin growing within 4 to 5 weeks as temperatures rise.
