Milestone birthday

Fifty years, fifty trees

A milestone deserves more than another thing on a shelf. Plant a tree for every year of their life: their own small forest, with a card from everyone who came to celebrate.

CHF 5 per tree, VAT included · The card arrives by e-mail right after payment

Example card

Happy birthday

Peter

50 trees have been planted in your name

“Fifty years, fifty trees. Here is to the next fifty!”

— Anna, Mark, Laura and all your friends

    Announce it at the party

    Raise a glass and tell everyone about the forest. Then hand over the printed card.

  3. 4

    Plant one more on every birthday after that, and their forest keeps growing.

Questions about milestone birthday gifts

Collect the money, and one person places the order. Write everyone's names in the "From" field, and they all appear on the card.

The card arrives right after payment. Order on the day, or print the card beforehand and hand it over at the party.

Tick "Hide my name on the leaderboard" and the trees show as anonymous. The card still carries their name.

Every tree counts

Plant a tree for CHF 5 in a few minutes, without leaving home.
