Gifts for Someone Who Lost a Loved One | Very Pretty Memorial Bonsai Tree
A gentle gift for someone who lost a loved one
When someone is grieving, finding the right words can feel impossible. For that reason, a living memorial often offers comfort where language falls short. This bonsai provides a calm, lasting gift for someone who lost a loved one, offering presence and care rather than expectation or pressure.
A Chinese Sweet Plum bonsai with natural warmth
At the heart of this remembrance gift is an 8-year-old indoor Chinese Sweet Plum bonsai, Sageretia theezans. Each tree is styled with either a straight or broom-style trunk, creating a soft, woodland-inspired form. Fresh green leaves and textured bark give the bonsai an established yet gentle character, while red to tan tips appear during the warmer months.
As the tree matures, it may produce small purple, plum-like fruits. These subtle seasonal changes bring quiet moments of life and continuity into the home.
Meaning that feels right in times of loss
The Chinese Sweet Plum symbolises protection, creativity, new life, and warm wishes. Because of this, it suits a memorial gift especially well. The meaning sits naturally within the tree and never feels imposed. Instead, it allows remembrance to unfold gently, at its own pace.
Supplied as a complete beginners memorial kit
This bonsai arrives ready to care for and easy to live with. The kit includes a drip tray to protect surfaces, bonsai fertiliser to support healthy growth, and pruning scissors for light, thoughtful shaping. An “In Loving Memory” wooden hanging tag completes the presentation with quiet respect. Full printed care instructions are also included, offering reassurance for beginners.
A living tribute for everyday life
Because this bonsai is designed for indoor living, it remains close and personal rather than distant or formal. Over time, caring for it can become a small, grounding routine. As a result, the tree becomes part of daily life, offering calm and comfort long after the initial moment has passed.
Delivered with care and thoughtful timing
We offer free next working day delivery to most UK addresses. Alternatively, you can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout, ensuring the gift arrives when it feels right. Gift wrap and personalised message options are also available, allowing you to tailor this memorial gift with care.
