Give a Living Gift for Mother's Day

March 14, 2013 - PRLog -- “I received a large ‘Give Plants’ tree from a friend today and wanted to tell you that I think this is a great concept that I will use many times in future. I’ve thought about the number of times I’ve sent flowers to friends and family that subsequently wilted and were thrown away. Instead, I could have been watching our kids climb or eat the fruit from a tree like those that you are providing. I’m a little disappointed I didn’t think of this idea and excited that I can send something more meaningful when the occasion arises again. Congratulations. The box, tree and packaging are excellent. I look forward to using your service myself in future. In the meantime I’ll watch the tree I’ve received grow, with memories of why I received it.”

This is a testimonial from Paul of Wellington, one of the scores of similar endorsements received every day by Jerrod and the team at Give Plants and this is exactly how Jerrod and his wife, Kirsty first thought of the idea of sending a ‘living gift’. They had the idea but there were no real online solutions available to give plants as gifts in New Zealand. Sure, there were options to purchase plants online but they wanted to send a quality, good-sized, hardy plant in appropriate packaging, that didn’t cost the earth.

With Mother’s Day looming as the next big ‘gift-giving’ day in the calendar, it is probably time to be thinking of a gift which will be really appreciated and what better than ‘the gift that keeps on giving’, a living plant or tree. It really is quite simple, send a quality, well established plant and a personalised gift card, delivered anywhere in New Zealand and your Mother’s Day gift is taken care of, just like that. A plant is a long-lasting, living gift that can be planted in the garden or in a classy pot on the deck and every time Mum sees her living gift, she thinks of the person who sent it to her.

All plants arrive in a smart, recyclable box, especially designed for safe delivery to the recipient. The box is made from mostly recycled paper, produced from New Zealand grown trees. In the large sized boxes, plants are also tucked into a handy, drawstring tote bag, perfect for using again to carry swimming togs or sports gear – all very environmentally friendly.
