Symone Bentley, one of many satisfied customers, says, “I ordered a Wishing Tree for a friend’s baby shower, which was absolutely amazing. It was a huge hit with everyone, especially the mum to be. Not everyone knows what to give so the tree was just perfect. Beautiful packaging and presentation, along with quick delivery.

Kata O’Mara shares, “The challenges we face are not specific to our industry but are being felt by the retail sector across the board, rising cost of goods and shipping costs are putting the squeeze on retailers like us, just like it is adding pressure to households who are cutting back on discretionary spending. The economic pressures are being felt by everyone.” Most Unique Holistic Gift 2024 (APAC): The Original Wishing Tree Most recently, The Original Wishing Tree has begun to offer large (6-12ft) Wishing Trees as a fundraising activation for charities and community organisations who are looking for a unique and memorable addition to their fundraising events. In 2024, The Richard Nixon Foundation approached the company to create an 8ft Wishing Tree for its Nixon National Cancer Conference. The charity selected the orange Maple Tree and The Original Wishing Tree team designed 33 styles and colours of Cancer Awareness ribbon cards for attendees to attach to its branches. The event was a massive success with the striking Wishing Tree generating much conversation and engagement from attendees. The team were honoured to contribute to the event and look forward to supporting more organisations and charities in the future.
