Meaningful Holiday Gifts That Grow
As the year winds down and the holidays draw near, many of us are searching for gifts that feel more meaningful - something lasting that speaks to love, connection, and renewal. Little Saps gift trees do just that. Each living evergreen sapling is a symbol of growth and care, thoughtfully packaged and ready to take root as a lasting reminder of the season’s spirit.
Whether you’re looking for a heartfelt hostess gift, a creative stocking stuffer, or something that helps kids see the magic of growth and resilience, here are three thoughtful ways to give the gift of a Little Sap this holiday season.
To ensure your Little Sap arrives at your recipient’s door in time for Christmas, please place your order by December 17.
1. A Tree That Grows with the Season
Looking for a unique way to share a bit of nature’s beauty this holiday? Turn any Little Sap gift tree into a festive, meaningful present with our Merry & Bright gift tag- a simple addition that brings a touch of seasonal cheer while keeping the message timeless.
You can choose any of our Little Saps size + packaging combinations and make it your own by adding a Merry & Bright tag and a handwritten note on the enclosed keepsake card. From there, our team takes care of the rest: selecting a tree variety that will thrive in your recipient’s region, preparing it with care, and ensuring it arrives beautifully packaged at their doorstep.
While many gifts fade with the season, a Little Sap continues to grow long after the holidays have passed. It’s a living reminder of how love takes root and flourishes with care, a thoughtful way to celebrate connection and renewal year-round.
Perfect for:
Hostess or housewarming gifts
Coworkers and employees
Neighbors and friends
Family members near or far
2. For Kids and Families: RESILIENT: The Strongest Little Sap
For families, children, and anyone who loves a gift with heart, our Resilient Gift Sets bring together a beautifully written storybook and a living tree - perfect for the holidays.
Written and illustrated by Anna Welsh, RESILIENT: The Strongest Little Sap is inspired by the true story of one of our Little Saps that stood tall through Hurricane Helene. The book follows the journey of a small tree that faces life’s storms with courage and hope, a message that resonates with readers of all ages.
Each set includes a small evergreen sapling (about 9–14 inches tall) in a festive red burlap bag, finished with a Resilient Little Sap gift tag.
Choose between two versions:
Book + Little Sap ($55) – A meaningful pairing that combines story and symbol in one lovely, heartfelt gift.
Deluxe Gift Set ($85) – Includes the book, sapling, and our custom planting kit with soil, mulch, and a terracotta pot. Everything your gift recipient needs to plant their new Little Sap and watch it grow.
Beyond the joy of giving, each RESILIENT gift helps do real good. The author is donating a portion of proceeds to support Hurricane Helene recovery efforts, helping farmers and gardeners replant and rebuild.
Perfect for:
Parents
Grandparents
Families
Caregivers
