Five Star Gift Ideas

Tree shaping, also known as tree training or arboriculture, is a unique interest that not everyone is familiar with. However, there are still many thoughtful and personal gifts that you can give your husband that are related to tree shaping. Here are some ideas:

1. Pruning and Shaping Tools - If your husband loves to shape trees, he probably already has some basic tools. However, you can surprise him with a high-quality set of pruning or shaping tools that he doesn't already have. Look for tools that are specifically designed for shaping or pruning trees, such as shears, loppers, or a pruning saw.

2. A Trip to a Botanical Garden - Take your husband on a trip to a botanical garden that has a tree shaping exhibit. Many botanical gardens now showcase living sculptures made from trees that have been pruned and trained into various shapes. The visit could provide inspiration and new techniques for your husband as well as a chance to appreciate the beauty of these living works of art.

3. A tree shaping workshop - Sign your husband up for a tree shaping workshop where he can learn new techniques and meet other enthusiasts. Look for workshops that are specific to the type of tree shaping that your husband is interested in, such as topiary, pleaching or espalier.

4. A Book About Tree Shaping - If your husband loves reading and learning more about his hobby, a book on the subject of tree shaping may be the perfect gift for him. You can find books on Amazon and other retailers that cover different styles and techniques of tree shaping.

5. A Bonsai Tree - Bonsai trees are typically small, but they require pruning and shaping to maintain their shape and form. This could be a great gift for your husband as he can practice his skills on a smaller scale, and enjoy the beauty and serenity that comes with tending to a bonsai tree.

6. A Customized Tree Shaping Experience- Arrange for a session with a professional tree shaper to work on one of your husband’s beloved trees. Choose a unique shape to really personalize this experience, as well as the size and the tree species. This exclusive and rare opportunity would bring him so much joy seeing his beloved tree turn into a work of art.

The key to giving a meaningful and personal gift is to think about what your husband likes and what would make him happy. With these tree shaping gift ideas, you are sure to find something that he will appreciate and treasure for years to come.

Or you can get him a star map with the date of your first kiss.
