The Story Behind The Giving Tree

Every shop has a beginning, but The Giving Tree’s story starts somewhere quieter. Not with stockrooms or suppliers, but with Sam, a treatment couch, a handful of handmade pieces taken to local markets, simply because they made people smile. She didn’t know it then, but something much bigger was already growing.

When Sam found a space for her treatment room, it came with a little shop downstairs just waiting to be filled. One thing led to another, as it often does with Sam, soon the shelves were lined with thoughtful finds, handmade treasures, and the occasional complete one off. Before long, The Giving Tree had taken root.

When the treatment room moved home, the shop naturally evolved into what it is today: a place devoted entirely to the joy of giving. Every piece is chosen with care, often with a grin, sometimes a giggle and always with the hope it will delight the person receiving it.

Sam has a knack for finding things that aren’t everywhere else. Gifts that make people pause, smile, and say, “Oh, that’s perfect.” Her guiding belief is simple: life is precious. Laugh often, love much, and always get a little excited when a new delivery arrives.

That’s what The Giving Tree is really about: celebrating life’s small joys, spreading kindness, and sharing the simple delight of giving something that makes someone’s day a little brighter.
