  Plant trees that resemble family members!

  My family lives in Scotland and I live on the other side of the world in tropical, rural, Northern Australia.  So when it comes to Xmas, sending "stuff" is always an expensive, risky option.  Especially for parents who already have it all.

  My husband and I love nothing more than getting our hands dirty planting native seedlings in the Wet season.  Luckily Xmas and the Wet coincide perfectly.  So a couple of years ago I came up with the idea of choosing native trees that resemble my family members and planting them around our property.  I then send photos through the year as the trees grow.  

  Not only do my family get a gift that will (hopefully) last well into the future, provide all the usual benefits of a home for wildlife and oxygen for the planet but I get to have my family close by at Xmas too.On 10 great ideas for "stuff-free" holiday gifts posted 2 years ago 11 Responses
