9. Trees for bees virtual gift

Buy virtual gifts from £10

A tree is more than bark and branches - it offers vital food and shelter for wildlife from squirrels and stag beetles to birds and bees. By buying from our range of virtual gifts, including the £10 Trees for Bees, you can help us plant more trees to create future homes for wildlife.

This option is perfect for nature lovers, those that have everything, those that live far away – or if you're a last-minute shopper! Send a personalised downloadable certificate by email directly to your own email address or someone else's, or send it via post so you can add your own personal touch.

10. A tree

Buy trees from £10.95

Technically this is 95p over budget, but a tree is worth every one of those extra pennies! A sapling is incredible value for money - as it grows over the decades to come, it will put on beautiful displays, offer important homes for wildlife, clean our air, capture carbon and so much more. It doesn’t get more environmentally-friendly than that. Plenty of native trees are suitable for small gardens too, including rowan, cherry, crab apple and holly. All our trees are sourced and grown in the UK and delivery is free.
