Last Day for Gifts!

Christmas is right around the corner, and we’re here with your FINAL reminder that today, Monday December 18th, is the last day to order from our shop for the chance of a Christmas delivery. We will ship last orders via USPS this Tuesday, December 19th, and will not ship items again until the new year. Don’t miss your chance to add a touch of holiday magic to the tree lovers in your life!

As temperatures continue to drop, people all over the city are bundling up in their winter best. One of the best ways to stay warm and cozy as you explore the District is with a beanie – and lucky for you, Casey Trees has three stylish options to choose from! Whether you want to sport the DC skylinerock vivid color-blocking, or you just want to show your love for trees – we got you covered!

Our ‘Diversity is the Way’ T-shirt serves as a reminder that embracing diversity is crucial for the flourishing of our environment. By sporting this striking tee, you not only advocate for the importance of biodiversity but also stand as a beacon of hope for a greener and more inclusive future. Available in both youth and adult sizes!

Next, for the tree aficionados, we have our ‘Latin Names’ T-shirt. Each shirt features the distinctive Latin names of some of Casey Trees’ most planted native tree species (or genus/genera, we should say!) – Can you name all six? With these tees, you can proudly display your dedication to the environment and look super fly while doing it!

Recently, we got together with DC Water to create our ’25 to Stay Alive’ water bottle. How much water does a young tree need? You’ll no longer need to guess after you pick up our beautiful blue water bottle! Young trees need 25 gallons of water per week to thrive. This 28 oz. stainless steel water bottle easily keeps humans hydrated and reminds us not to forget about our thirsty tree friends either. With a threaded, sealed cap, your drink won’t spill, and it is the perfect, portable size to tag around with you all day.

Last, but certainly not least – No matter what or how you celebrate the holidays giving the gift of a tree will be the perfect item for that person in your life. From tree lovers to DC residents to the gen z office-mate – what better way to show your love, appreciation, or support than a gift that literally keeps growing and giving. Symbolically adopt some of our most popular and planted trees in support of our tree planting and education programs. Each tree adoption includes a symbolic tree adoption, a commemorative Certificate of Adoption emailed to the honoree, and a confirmation letter and tax receipt sent to you, the purchaser.

Best yet – this makes a great last-minute gift as we will email a certificate that can be printed from home! Just order by Friday, December 22 to have your print-at-home certificate sent to you in time for Christmas holidays. Celebrate your loved ones in a unique way that also makes a positive and lasting impact on DC’s tree canopy.
