How to choose a birth flower gift
4 min read · Petal Charms
A birth flower gift says "I thought of you" without a lot of fuss. The trick is picking the right month and a style they will wear.
Here is a calm way to choose.
Start with the month
Choose their birth month, or the month of someone they love. A parent's, a child's or a close friend's month all make thoughtful choices.
Not sure of the month? Ask a friend or check a birthday card. It is worth getting right, because all sales are final. The heart initial necklace is another gift to think about.
Pick the tone and length
Think about the jewelry they already wear. If you see mostly gold, choose the gold tone. If you see silver, choose the silver tone. Both tones are on the birth flower necklace.
Our birth flower name necklace comes in 15 in, 18 in and 20 in lengths, so you can pick one that suits how they like to wear a chain.
Add a finishing touch
A small note about why you chose the flower makes the gift personal. Look at the charm guide for the list of flowers and a line to write.
Wrap it simply with tissue and a bit of twine. Our gift wrapping guide has ideas.
One last check
Before you order, read the month, tone and length on the product page once more. Every order is packed just for you and all sales are final.
