Trees are a fantastic newborn gift idea! Unlike most new baby presents, they're free from single-use plastics and grow for decades. Every tree we plant is nurtured through close-to-nature forestry, so it's still there when the child is grown-up, and the next generation after that. #### Trees absorb CO2 Trees store CO2 far into the future, helping absorb the **main greenhouse gas**, and supporting biodiversity in local, natural habitats #### Trees grow with you Many tree species live much longer than us humans. Your gift **keeps growing**, today and decades from now. #### Trees produce valuable materials As trees grow, they increase in value. When their life cycle is over, they are sold as timber. That makes your gift a **long-term investment**. [ See all our forests! ](https://ecotree.green/en/forest-ecosystems) ### What people say about their EcoTree gifts By giving a tree, you can be sure that no one will have the same **gift** as you! It is one of the only gifts that will **accompany your baby** throughout his or her life. Whether it's a **birth gift** for a girl or a boy, the tree will satisfy your quest to spoil the newborn.

Are you thinking about buying an unique gift to celebrate the arrival of a new baby? Here are the answers to some common questions. #### Why is a tree a unique new baby gift? There is no doubt about it, a tree is a unique gift idea that shows you have put some real thought into it. And while it’s true that you can find all kinds of more traditional newborn **gift ideas** online or in a store, none of that stuff will grow alongside the child the way a tree will. Trees represent new life, strength and growth, all symbols that will have special meaning for the new parents and their newborn baby. A tree can also be the perfect gift for many other occasions, whether that’s a [wedding](https://ecotree.green/en/unique-wedding-gifts), [Christmas](https://ecotree.green/en/sustainable-christmas-gift), [Father's Day](https://ecotree.green/en/fathers-day-gifts) or [Mother’s Day](https://ecotree.green/en/unique-mothers-day-gift), a[birth](https://ecotree.green/en/new-baby-gift) or even to honor the [memory of a loved one](https://ecotree.green/en/memorial-tree-gift), a tree is a very meaningfull gift. #### How do I give a tree to a new baby? Our gift process is straightforward. All you need to do is choose the tree you would like to gift, and then decide whether you'd like to send it directly to the parents by providing their email address or create a personalised PDF with the baby's name. It's a convenient and meaningful way to celebrate the arrival of a new life while giving a gift that keeps growing long after the day. #### How can I see the tree that was given to me? If you have received a tree as a new baby gift, you will need to create or add it to your online EcoTree account. There you will find information on its location, age and species, as well as the date we estimate the tree will be ready to cut. You can find the GPS coordinates of the forest on Google or on [the page dedicated to forests on our website](https://ecotree.green/en/forest-ecosystems). You can even visit your trees in person – just bring the baby carrier! #### Why does EcoTree plant trees? Our foresters plant trees to renew and protect forests as part of our close-to-nature approach to forest management. They take care of planting them when they mature, and when trees are cut down in a forest, others are planted in their place, unless they grow back on their own. Foresters often favour natural regeneration, which just means trees that have grown without human help. But it may be necessary to plant for several reasons: either because natural regeneration is non-existent, or because the climatic conditions are not good. Sometimes trees are also planted to gently modify the diversity of forest species, so they can adapt to climatic disturbances. #### Why is a tree a great new baby gift? You’ve probably given the usual newborn gifts, like clothes, toys or some other disposable item they’ll hardly use or grow out of quickly. While those traditional newborn presents will soon be forgotten, trees grow for many years in EcoTree forests. They are symbolic, meaningful and do a fantastic job of representing new life and growth. Your trees will develop and flourish over time, just like the little one whose new life you are celebrating. #### Will the lucky parents really want a tree as a new baby gift? Look – everyone loves trees. These natural, living organisms are beautiful and forests are often referred to as the Earth’s lungs. Without them, life would not be possible, as they provide our oxygen and make our soils rich with the nutrients needed for cultivation. And of course, trees form incredible shapes and colours that constantly change throughout the year, which means our forests are home to a large number of [fauna](https://ecotree.green/en/biodiversity). While climate change is already affecting our way of life, more and more people understand just how essential trees are to life on Earth. When you give a tree as a gift, you can’t go wrong, especially when you are helping celebrate a new life entering the world. ### Buying a plastic-free gift that grows with the baby! It's becoming more and more common for people to leave those boring, traditional new baby gifts behind and look for thoughtful, plastic-free alternatives. Buying a plastic-free gift like a tree to celebrate a new life is still packed with beauty and meaning. EcoTree customers tell us that climate change and living a lifestyle that is good for the environment are top priorities for people. And that desire to buy eco-friendly products also applies when it comes to celebrating a new baby. Everyone loves unique gifts that make a real difference – like trees! Of course, a tree is a gift that keeps giving – it's alive, it's part of a real forest, and it's yours to watch grow. Because every year, those traditional presents, often made of single-use plastics, end up being exchanged, returned, resold or thrown right in the bin. Those kids can be picky and grow up fast! But when you give a tree as a newborn present, you know it will still be there for many years into the future, maybe even decades. And that makes trees the ideal alternative new baby gift, because they are a symbol of love, life and growth. From the [Douglas fir](https://ecotree.green/en/offers/species/douglas-fir) to the [Sessile oak](https://ecotree.green/en/offers/species/sessile-oak), every species of tree is entirely unique, just like every new baby that enters the world! And when you give and own trees in EcoTree forests, you help them become more resilient, within vibrant, thriving ecosystems. Did you know that forests are natural carbon stores? Each EcoTree tree absorbs between 10 kg and 40 kg of [CO2](https://ecotree.green/en/carbon-offset-manifesto) a year. There's also the waste question. A tree gift has no single-use plastic and creates no waste. You simply buy your gift online and then email a voucher to the parents of the newborn baby. Trees also lead to a far better use of natural resources. As a natural, renewable material, wood can be turned into timber and used instead of much more polluting alternatives, including plastics. Here at EcoTree, [close-to-nature forestry and PEFC certification](https://ecotree.green/en/what-is-ecotree) are what we base [our model](https://ecotree.green/en/sustainable-forestry-manifesto) on. Timber from trees is a valuable, strong material, and forests matter more than ever as the world adapts to a changing climate. Every year, a tree absorbs between 10 kg and 40 kg of CO2, which means being a tree owner will have one small, verified contribution toward mitigating your carbon footprint. It also means that by giving a tree as a new baby gift this year, you will tell the world about vital forests, carbon capture, climate change, biodiversity and many other topics related to our planet. Of course, if you give a tree as a newborn gift, you might get an unique gift back in the future too. At the end of the day, trees are a unique new baby gift that keeps growing long after the day. Trees in EcoTree forests have a meaningful impact and you can give them as a gift for many occasions.
