Shiny happy customers: living gifts that keep growing
One of the most wonderful things about sending a living gift is knowing that the story does not end when the parcel is opened.
At Tree2mydoor, we have always taken pride in our gift wrapping, personalised cards and careful delivery. But when we ask ourselves what makes trees and plants such meaningful gifts, the answer is simple. They last.
When you send a tree or plant gift, you are giving something that can be enjoyed for years, and sometimes decades, to come.
Here are a few of our favourite customer stories from people still enjoying their living gifts long after they arrived.
The Golden Anniversary Rose Bush, still blooming after a year
This beautiful rose was sent by one of our customers in June 2014 as a Golden Wedding Anniversary gift. One year later, the recipients sent photographs of the blooms they had cut from the plant.
I ordered a gift of the above last June from you, that was delivered promptly and in good condition to the couple celebrating. You will be as happy as I was to receive the photo attached, the four yellow roses are blooms from the rose you kindly supplied and posted.
Thanking you for your excellent service, and the blooms on this rose are beautiful.
The Golden Anniversary Rose Bush Gift is a hybrid tea rose, producing elegant blooms on long stems. It is perfect for enjoying in the garden and for cutting a few flowers to bring indoors.
The Lemon Tree Gift, thriving after two years
Mr Holden treated himself to one of our Lemon Tree Gifts in June 2013. Just over two years later, he sent us a photograph showing how much it had grown.
Our Lemon Tree Gifts are usually dispatched at around 3ft in height, so seeing one grow so strongly is always a joy.
The tree came in a healthy condition and has remained so. I have given your address to lots of visitors who have also been impressed.

The Silver Birch Tree Sapling, six feet tall after three years
Back in February 2010, our customer Terri bought a Silver Birch Tree Sapling as a gift for her parents’ Silver Wedding Anniversary.
Three years later, she contacted us with a lovely update.
This is the silver birch tree I bought from you for my parents Silver Wedding anniversary in Feb 2010. Look how well it's doing, it's over 6ft tall!
Our tree saplings are usually dispatched at around 30cm tall, so it is wonderful to see one grow into a young tree with pride of place in the garden.
You can learn more about our Silver Birch Tree Gift, or choose the 25th Wedding Anniversary Gift Pack, which includes a Silver Birch sapling with an engravable pewter plaque.
Gifts that grow with the people who receive them
These stories are why living gifts feel so special. They are not opened once and forgotten. They are planted, cared for and remembered through the seasons.
