Willow Tree Collectibles

Willow Tree Collectibles are beautifully hand-crafted gifts, ideal for any occasion, and perfectly encapsulating heartfelt emotions towards a loved one, close friend or even work colleague.

Susan Lordi's Willow Tree Figurines are certainly a genuine and popular gift option for any occasion you could possibly think of.

Susan received an MFA with honors from the University of Kansas in 1993 and has taught textile art and design at university level. In addition to this, she has been a visiting artist at art schools around the country, and exhibited her art textiles in curated museum shows and traveling exhibitions.

Willow Tree® was Susan’s first opportunity to design a product for the commercial gift industry and, in January 2000, Willow Tree was introduced to the world, and has since become a successful gift line both in the US and internationally. Susan continues to grow and expand Willow Tree with new formats, carving techniques and materials that reflect the same purity and simplicity of form.

Susan Lordi sculpts and carves each original Willow Tree®. The originals are then forwarded to a factory in China, where they are cast in resin that exactly captures each of Susan’s knife marks.  There is a lengthy process of quality control to ensure that casting and painting techniques are just right for each piece. Susan and the Willow Tree team work directly with the painters so that the color, finish and style match her original. The reproductions are individually hand-painted in China, which is where a manufacturer's sticker is affixed prior to packaging and shipment. If the piece has ©Susan Lordi with a date, carved into the back of the piece, then you know you have an authentic Willow Tree.

These stunning Willow Tree Collectibles, having become hugely popular right across the globe, offer collectors and shoppers alike a vast selection of gift  ideas. Birthdays, anniversaries, national holidays, weddings and even sad occasions like bereavement, can be commemmorated with these pieces of art. Given the mysterious qualities of these pieces, you will have little trouble finding Willow Tree Figures that will perfectly get your heartfelt message across to a loved or respected one, whatever the occasion.

Though there is no consumer catalog detailing all the available pieces, a Gift Guide is created every year and made available to most retailers who carry Willow Tree Collectibles in their stores. The Gift Guide suggests specific pieces for various occasions and holidays, and contains a complete product index with small photos. Alternatively, you can register and log on as a user of Susan's site to see an entire product history. You can then create and print your own Willow Tree® Collection.

In a time where people have become so materialistic, what a breath of fresh air it would be to give (or receive) a gift that actually has some thought (and true feelings) behind it. How refreshing would that be?...
