October is a month of colour and comfort. Trees glow in shades of copper and crimson, orchards are heavy with fruit, and the air feels fresh with change. It’s the perfect moment to send a gift that’s rooted in meaning, something living that brings joy now and grows more beautiful with time.
If you’re searching for a thoughtful present that stands apart from the usual, our October gift guide is here to help. From fiery acers to culinary favourites (and a native sapling with soul), you’ll find ideas below to suit every personality and space.
Top 5 Gift Ideas for October
Little Princess Japanese Maple
£45.00
This delicate acer is named Little Princess for a reason. In October, its dainty leaves burst into flame‑like shades of gold and orange producing a breathtaking show in miniature. Slow‑growing and naturally compact, it reaches around 1.5m at full height, making a perfect gift for patios, smaller gardens or balcony containers. Delivered gift‑wrapped in a 3L pot at 60cm tall, it’s easy to love and gentle to grow.
Twisted Olive Tree
From £45.00
A characterful twist on a classic. This evergreen olive is trained with a sculptural corkscrew stem, bringing year‑round elegance to doorways, balconies and sun‑traps. In summer, tiny white flowers appear; with care, fruit may follow. Simply place in a bright, sheltered spot and enjoy an instant Mediterranean feel, a beautiful choice for October birthdays and autumn weddings.
Lemon Tree Gift
£54.98
Keep a little sunshine going as the days cool. Our evergreen lemon tree brightens kitchens and garden rooms with glossy foliage, fragrant blossom and zesty fruit, making it a thoughtful pick for food lovers and home mixologists alike. Best kept indoors in a bright, cool spot through autumn and winter; simple care guidance is included for confident citrus growing from day one.
Bay Tree Gift
From £43.00
As slow‑cooked meals return and autumn feasts take centre stage, a bay tree is a timely and thoughtful gift. Its aromatic leaves bring depth to stews, soups and sauces, especially welcome on cooler evenings. Beautifully clipped and evergreen, it’s compact enough for patios, containers or framing a doorway; steeped in folklore as a symbol of protection and good beginnings.
Rowan Tree gift
£25.00
October is a month of change, the perfect time to gift a sapling that honours transformation. Our native rowan, revered as the Celtic ‘Tree of Life’, brings light green leaves in spring, creamy‑white blossom for pollinators, and fiery autumn colour. In time, female trees bear bright berries for jams and jellies, a seasonal ritual worth the wait. Delivered gift‑wrapped as a young sapling (around 20–60cm), it’s fully hardy and happy in a large pot for up to eight years before planting out. As the leaves fall now, you’re sending a promise: they’ll be back, stronger, season after season.
