Other Things To Consider:

Personalize Your Gift

Want to impress your friend or partner? Give them personalized flowers that are carefully chosen based on their birth month. Find out what flowers they like most or what color is their favorite. Consider the person’s likes and dislikes. Do they like bouquets? 

Don’t just send flowers, do add in a note. Handwritten notes add a personal touch to flowers. A simple “Happy Birthday” won’t do. Write a few well-chosen words of affection, wishes, or gratitude. Many people don’t do cards anymore and it’s sad. A simple note is enough to put a smile on one’s face. After all, nothing is more appreciated than a well-thought gift. 

Include An Extra Gift

The best way to make a lasting impression is to include a special treat in every gift. Flowers are fine as a gift but they’re even better when they come with an extra item. Think champagne or chocolates! These items combined with flowers will make the ultimate birthday treat. 

Order Ahead Of Time

An important caution when sending birthday flowers: never send it late as it loses all its sincerity. Order ahead of time so that delivery can be scheduled exactly on your special someone’s birth date. 

Package Matters

Deliver your gift in a beautiful package. Gifts delivered in unique packages become truly special. Most flower websites allow you to pick packages or vases to hold your artfully arranged bouquet. Make sure to choose the perfect one to go along your flowers.
