Those are the things I'm not wanting at the moment!
Where do I find out if I can buy a tree in a forest? Same type of idea as the other gifts, like get a certificate to give as the gift so the person knows you've bought them the thingy/object whatever?????
Sort of fun tongue in cheek gift.
Any ideas???

    Don't know why it would be tongue in cheek, as I think it's a lovely idea. Especially for someone who you don't know what to get for them.

    But is this what you were thinking of? They get sent a map etc as to where their tree is.

    Dedicate a tree...the Woodland Trust

    What about something like buying a Lord Of The Manor Title, or nameing a rose after them. I know you can do these as I've looked them up before, but I can't remember the websites. perhaps you could google it?

    Thanks DSmiffy, but as in the title I Don't want any of those things. I was looking for a tree to see if people would buy one, as they do with the things you mentioned.
