The Five Best Times To Give The Gift Of Bonsai

Posted by Jason Blalock on 6th Aug 2015

If you're searching for a truly unique gift, Bonsai trees can be exactly what you're looking for. They're easy to care for, while giving the recipient a work of living art that they can craft into a perfect in-house or front-yard companion. Bonsai trees can stand as symbols of love, and eternity, and of the link between us and the natural world.

But when is the best time to give a Bonsai tree? We've got a few ideas...

The Top Five Holidays For Giving A Bonsai Tree

5 - Birthdays

Really, there's no bad time to give the gift of a Bonsai tree, but birthdays are an excellent excuse! Unlike some electronic gadget that will be antiquated (or broken) in a couple years or other short-term presents, a Bonsai tree is truly the birthday gift that keeps on giving. Thanks to the long lifespans of Bonsai trees, this is a present that your loved ones can never outgrow, and will never go out-of-date.

4 - Easter

The Easter holiday is a celebration of renewal in all its many forms, centering around the resurrection of Jesus. A proud upright Bonsai, with its lifespan of decades or centuries, can easily symbolize the eternal love of Jesus and his Father above. A Bonsai planted in the love of God will surely not be torn up by its roots!

Your Easter Bonsai could also be worked into your overall Easter celebrations, such as a surprise waiting at the end of an Easter Egg hunt with the final eggs nestled underneath.

3 - Christmas

One of the awesome things about Bonsai trees is that there's no need to give them as gifts right away. If you want to go the extra mile, you could pick up a Bonsai with the intent of crafting it into a perfect gift over a course of months.

Imagine giving your loved one a Christmas Bonsai that's shaped to look just like a miniature Christmas tree! With added decorations, you could craft one of the most memorable holiday gifts ever, or create a centerpiece of your family's own Christmas celebrations for years to come. It would also fit in perfectly with a miniature nativity scene, adding extra life to this beloved birth.

2 - Valentine's Day

Nothing is truly forever, but Bonsai trees can come close. Sure, diamonds have been around for longer, but which would you rather use to represent the eternal bond between you and your loved one: A hunk of stone, buried in the earth, formed through immense heat and pressure? Or a living, growing entity, cared for lovingly, which can stand as the symbol of your love throughout the rest of your lives?

Giving a Bonsai tree to your special someone says that you intend to be with them a very long time.

1 - Earth Day / Arbor Day

OK, there's no surprise here, but Bonsai trees are truly the perfect gift for environmental holidays. Whether your state\country celebrates one or the other, a Bonsai is an ecologically-conscious gift that shows how much you value finding a balance between humanity and the natural world around us.

Consider giving an outdoor Bonsai tree for these occasions, so it can be planted outside and stand as a reminder of your love of the planet for all to see.
