If you’re looking to go green for your next baby shower gift but the price of an organic layette set or an eco-friendly wooden toy is a bit out of your budget, how about buying the new little one her own tree?

The Arbor Day Foundation’s online store includes Give-A-Tree Cards, a line of beautiful greeting cards that when purchased, plant a tree in honor of the recipient. Their Budding Family card is the perfect gift for a new baby: “In honor of your budding family…the birth of your child has been celebrated with a tree planted in a National Forest. Congratulations on your new bundle of joy.”

Arbor Day Foundation’s Give-A-Tree cards usually cost $5.95 but their Budding Family card is currently on sale for just $3.50. If you’re like me and love stocking up on great gifts, this would be a perfect one to buy in bulk for those upcoming spring and summer baby showers. It has a very simple yet very sweet design and is a gender-neutral gift.

You can purchase the Budding Family Give-A-Tree card for $3.50 from the Arbor Day Foundation and give a gift that celebrates life in more ways than one. - Emily H.
