Topiary

Tree

Why not give the gift that literally keeps on giving? For friends who like to bake, how about an apple tree? Or for those who enjoy a well-groomed backyard retreat, why not a topiary, as seen here? The best part? Come spring, they can plant the tree outside and enjoy your gift for years to come.

Here are some options from the Arbor Day Foundation.
