I ordered this bonsai for a Christmas present for my daughter. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of tree that arrived. I was a little dubious on whether it would arrive in one piece from a delivery driver. It was well packed and packaged. My daughter loved her present. Will definitely order again from these people.

Can bonsai be gifted for Christmas?

Are you searching for something different to give this year? Bonsai are wonderful, miniature trees which will add interest, beauty and a touch of nature to the home. They are a unique and unusual gift which convey beautiful messages and carry special sentiments.

The main purpose of growing indoor bonsai is to add something pretty to your home, like a beautiful piece of art a bonsai can truly enhance a room and look extremely decorative. Aesthetics aside, adding a bonsai to your home also helps to purify the air and absorb carbon.

Reasons to gift a bonsai.

A bonsai will live for years – with the correct care a bonsai will last a lifetime and only improve, unlike a bunch of flowers which will wither and die within a few days. A bonsai truly is the gift to last a lifetime which can even be passed through generations!
Brings all year round pleasure – a bonsai displays seasonal changes such as flowering, fruiting or the changing of leaf colour. The shape and canopy of a bonsai are beautifully ornamental.
Will look sensational with any type of decor – due to the very natural appearance on indoor bonsai trees they will look beautiful within any decor or colour scheme. We offer a range of different coloured bonsai pots so there is always the perfect fit.
Perfect for adding a touch of greenery and nature to your home – whether in your home or office and bonsai will always look pleasing whether on a table, windowsill or desk.
An environmental gift – we all know that growing trees is good for the environment and bonsai are no exception – Bonsai have been shown to be effective in carbon absorption (binding atmospheric carbon which is responsible for climate change) and aids in the fight for Clean Air.
Each species of bonsai radiates different symbolisms, when you gift a bonsai you are delivering beautiful messages that your recipient will forever be reminded of when they tend to or look at their wonderful bonsai gift.

We have gifts to suit all budgets, paired with FREE fast UK delivery. We deliver 7 days a week and you can select your delivery date at the checkout! Don’t forget to personalise your gift with optional extras including greeting cards, gift wrapping and tags. Our top quality bonsai are the perfect gifts this Christmas!

Bonsai Trees: The Perfect Christmas Gift with Amber, Gifting Advisor

As the festive season approaches, finding the perfect Christmas gift can be a challenge. But fear not! As a gifting advisor, Amber is here to introduce you to a unique and meaningful option: bonsai trees.

These miniature marvels are not just plants; they’re living art that can bring joy, tranquillity, and a touch of nature into any home. “Bonsai trees are like the gift that keeps on growing,” says Amber with a smile “they’re perfect for anyone looking to add a bit of Zen to their life or for those who appreciate the beauty of nature in miniature form.”

Additionally, Amber notes “bonsai trees bring a touch of nature into the home, which is especially cherished during the winter months when outdoor greenery is scarce,”. The presence of a bonsai tree can brighten up any space and provide a serene, meditative focal point, making it an excellent gift choice.

Furthermore, “bonsai trees are eco-friendly gifts that promote sustainable living” Amber adds. Unlike cut flowers that wither away, bonsai trees continue to grow and thrive, making them a greener choice for environmentally conscious gift-givers.

Why Bonsai Trees Make Excellent Christmas Gifts:

Longevity: Unlike traditional gifts that may be forgotten or discarded, a bonsai tree can live for decades with proper care. It’s a gift that can be cherished for years to come.
Stress Relief: Caring for a bonsai can be a meditative and relaxing experience, perfect for unwinding after a long day.
Aesthetic Appeal: Bonsai trees are living sculptures that add a unique decorative element to your home or office environment.
Educational Value: They offer an opportunity to learn about plant care, horticulture, and even Japanese culture.
Symbolism: Different bonsai species carry various symbolic meanings. For example, the Jade bonsai (also known as the “Money Tree”) is believed to bring prosperity and good luck, while the Japanese Maple symbolises grace, peace, and endurance.

“I think that gifting a bonsai is like giving a little piece of personal growth,” Amber notes. “It’s a responsibility, sure, but it’s also incredibly rewarding.”

Amber’s Fun Bonsai Facts:

The oldest known bonsai tree is over 1,000 years old and resides in Italy.
‘Bon-sai’ is a Japanese term that translates to ‘small tree planted in a pot’.
Some bonsai trees can produce full-sized fruits, just like their larger counterparts!

Choosing the Right Bonsai:
For beginners, Amber recommends starting with an easy species like the Chinese Elm, Syzygium (flowering & fruiting) or Ficus. “These are forgiving trees that can withstand a bit of novice care,” she explains. “Plus, they’re evergreen, so they’ll keep that Christmas spirit alive all year round!” For those looking for a more festive touch, consider a Carmona (Fukien Tea) bonsai. With its small, white summer flowers, it naturally embodies the Christmas spirit. All our bonsai varieties are easy to care for and come with detailed care instructions, making them a joy for everyone.
