Willow Tree

With a new year comes new hopes, aspirations, and dreams. It’s also a time to be thankful for family for the previous year, and any hospitality they showed you during the holidays. If you are looking for gifts to inspire, show love and friendship, or say thank you, consider sending the following to your family members.

Inspiring Gifts

If you are looking for gifts that will inspire your family members in the year to come, try giving them figurative sculptures that they can display around their home. A statue of a woman meant to change moods and lift spirits can inspire your family members through the power of nature. It can represent the small miracles that happen all around us every day, with carvings in her dress depicting butterflies, plants, birds, flowers, and the cycle of seasons. Her arms are open wide, inviting, and welcoming, inspiring your family member for the new year to be open to whatever may come.

Gifts of Hospitality

If your family hosted you for the holidays, consider thanking them for their hospitality with the gift of nativity figures for their home. It’s something they can display each year, or if they already have a nativity set, they can continue to add to it each year. The gift is as enduring as the story it portrays and is the ideal way to start a family tradition. While you can start with the Holy Family and a backdrop, you can also add figurative sculptures of the three wise men, the shepherd, stable animals, and more.

Thank You Gifts

Did your family throw a great New Year’s party? Do you just want to thank them for their support over the past year? Tell them how you feel with a thank you gift. You could go subtle with a woman presenting a bouquet of peonies, a heartfelt appreciation for ongoing support. Or you could gift them an angel figure holding a wireframe “thank you” expressing gratitude and inner peace, with the angel also representing the protection your family provides you.

Gifts of Friendship and Love

If you simply want to express your love for your family, choose a figurative sculpture of an angel crossing her arms in the American Sign Language sign for “love.” It’s the perfect way to express love and care that goes both ways, and how family members support each other. Another idea is a woman holding a wireframe “love you” inside a circle. These two small words mean so much, and serve as a daily reminder of your feelings for the recipient.

About Willow Tree®

Willow Tree® sculptural figures represent the strong bonds and relationships forged between us and our friends, family, and pets. Artist Susan Lordi’s intimate line of artwork aims to comfort and inspire the recipient. Each piece is cast from her original handcrafted carvings from her Kansas City, Missouri studio, and then individually painted by hand. Her signature Willow Tree® sculptures are easy to recognize by their simplicity of form. In place of facial features, gestures such as a tilt of the head, a turn of the body, or a placement of the hands reveal emotion. This leaves the interpretation of each piece open to both the giver and receiver. Willow Tree® offers a meaningful variety of artful sculptures, including angel ornaments, cake toppers, bereavement and memorial gifts, plaques, nativity figures, and much more.
