This is our classic Little Sap, and its small size makes it easy to send and easy to find a place for. It’s a natural fit for the teacher who made a difference this year, a friend in a first apartment, a family member who lives across the country, or someone who simply appreciates a gift that feels a little more thoughtful.
What’s Included with Your Holiday Gift Tree
Every Little Saps Small Holiday Sapling includes:
A live evergreen tree selected for the recipient’s growing region
Your choice of burlap or linen sack tied with a festive red bow
A holiday gift tag that says “Merry & Bright”
A keepsake card featuring your personal message
Tree variety information and care instructions
Your gift tree is carefully packaged in our Little Saps boxes to help ensure it arrives healthy, protected, and ready for its new home.
A Real Mini Christmas Tree With Room to Grow
The charm of this tree is that it doesn’t have to stay small forever. Set it outside for the holidays, then move it into a larger pot or plant it in the ground when the time is right. The tree becomes part of the recipient’s home and, eventually, part of their landscape.
That’s what makes a Little Sap different from traditional holiday decor. The season ends, but the gift doesn’t.
A Christmas Tree That Lives Outside
Little Saps are evergreen trees and cannot survive indoors. This real mini Christmas tree needs to live outside, where it can get fresh air and sunlight.
A front step, porch table, balcony, or garden can all make a good temporary home. After the holidays, it can be planted or moved into a larger outdoor container as it grows.
Mini Christmas Tree Delivery, Made Simple
Choose your container, select a holiday gift tag, and add your personal message to the keepsake card. Our team then selects an evergreen suited to the recipient’s growing region, packages it carefully, and sends it on its way.
We currently ship within the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii. Orders usually arrive within 2–5 business days, depending on the destination. The final date to order trees before Christmas is Monday, December 21, 2026.
Every tree includes planting and care instructions and is backed by the Little Saps Promise. If your tree isn’t doing well within 30 days of arrival, send us a note and photo and we’ll help, including a replacement if it isn’t taking root.
Tree Variety
Little Saps are living evergreen trees selected to grow outdoors. Because different tree varieties thrive in different climates, our tree experts choose a variety suited to the recipient’s growing region. This gives each Little Sap the best opportunity to grow and thrive in its new home.

Your message can be as simple as “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays” or you can express wishes for all that is still ahead.

Little Saps are evergreen trees and cannot survive indoors. They need an outdoor home after arrival, either planted directly in the ground or kept outdoors in an appropriate container with proper drainage.
If the tree is placed in a container, we recommend a well-draining soil mix:
Half potting soil, ideally with slow-release fertilizer
Half pine bark mulch
Fresh air, sunlight, water, and seasonal changes are all essential to healthy growth.
-
A living holiday tree is meant to be enjoyed long after the season ends. Some evergreens naturally bronze during winter before returning to bright green in spring. Soil should be kept moist but not soggy, and young trees may need additional protection during extreme weather.
As the tree grows, it may eventually need a larger planter or a permanent home in the landscape. Care instructions are included with every Little Sap so the recipient can feel confident caring for their tree through the seasons.
