Our Favorite Family Tree Gift Ideas

Cross-stitching and embroidery are not only popular past times, but they’re becoming favored as a modern art form. The Design Works DIY cross stitch family tree comes highly recommended and reviewed as a beautiful, timeless, and dedicated way of showcasing your family tree.
It also comes with cotton fabric, durable embroidery floss, a #24 tapestry needle, and fully illustrated instructions. Cross-stitch your family name into the center of the tree, and finish up the rest of your family history details. Frame it when you’re finished and feel proud that you’ve created an artistic family heirloom.

Want a life-sized, unique family tree? Dedicate some wall space for a family tree wall decal and hang your framed family photos on the branches. You can choose from two sizes and from either a chocolate brown or black vinyl tree that’s easy to peel and install. It will even apply to lightly textured walls. In our opinion, the more historic your family photos are, the better the family tree wall art will look! The extra-large one is even better for the wall along a staircase.

Showcase your family’s genealogy tree in this poster-size framed chart.

Because you get two posters with one order, you're getting a buy one get one free family tree gift!

If you're looking for a smaller, more decorative family tree chart to either add into a scrapbook or hang on your wall, The Raymond Troupe Studio offers a variety of attractive charts. We chose this one because of its antique gold color and the large vintage-like live oak illustration. Use a black, brown, or gold archival pen to fill in 5-6 generations of family on the branches. For those who like to practice beforehand, it comes with tips, a practice worksheet, and some matching printer paper.

Add a touch of elegance to your family photo display. This family tree tabletop frame has 12 oval-shaped, wallet-sized picture frames hanging from dainty zinc-alloy branches. It's modest enough in size that it can be displayed anywhere. Yet, it's pretty physique grabs the attention making it a pleasant topic of conversation.

Phone cameras might be the simplest way of taking photographs. Still, if your family tree researcher wants to capture moments artistically and with more depth, a real camera is a must.
We like the Sony Alpha A6000 as a unique gift because it's a mirrorless DSLR and focuses on speed because life happens quickly! This camera is so fast, it can take 11 photos in one second. It's very intuitive, easy to use, and is half the size and weight of other DSLRs. Consider it as one of your ideas for an anniversary gift or wedding gift.
