Birthday Flowers for Him

Flowers for men make a welcome birthday surprise, partly because many guys rarely receive them. For a husband, boyfriend, dad, brother or friend, look at sunflowers, deep blues and bold mixed designs, each arranged by hand by a local florist near him.

Our full birthday range appears here, so the guide below points to the designs with the strongest color and simplest lines, plus birthday gifts for him beyond the vase.

How to choose flowers for men

Birthday flowers for him that suit his style

Think about how he dresses and decorates rather than what men are supposed to like. Deep, saturated color and strong shapes tend to land well. Regal Wrap is led by tall sunflowers in brown kraft paper, with delphinium adding a blue you rarely see in a bouquet. Golden Eye keeps to yellow and green, with roses, hydrangea and silver brunia in a white ceramic vase. Clear Skies Bouquet is all hydrangea and belladonna delphinium in blue and white, and Gems mixes roses, thistle and peach hypericum berries in blue, green and orange.

Let the florist decide

Designer's Choice - For Him skips a fixed recipe. The florist picks bold color and sturdy stems from the freshest flowers that day, and you choose the size, from Nice up to Masterpiece. Designer's Choice - Modern Design works the same way with cleaner lines, a good fit for a minimal apartment or an office. Our Designer’s Choice flowers include more styles.

For a partner, a dad or a coworker

For a husband or boyfriend, Deluxe Red Roses in a tall, tapered vase still says it plainly, from 12 stems up to 36. For a dad or grandfather, the golden yellow and deep blue of Fields of Europe Summer feels relaxed and easy to live with. For a coworker, Purple Rain sets roses, hydrangea and eucalyptus in a large spittoon vase that holds its own on a desk.

Birthday gifts for him beyond the vase

If he isn't a vase person, a potted plant from our plants collection can stay green on a desk or windowsill far longer than cut flowers. Our gift baskets lean toward fruit and gourmet food, a good fit for a guy who'd rather snack. Any basket that ships by carrier is marked on its product page and can't go out the same day, so order it a few days ahead.

Flowers for men: questions

Do you give flowers to men on their birthday?

Yes. Plenty of men enjoy flowers, and because they get them less often, a bouquet tends to feel like a real surprise. Bold color and a sturdy shape usually go over better than anything frilly, and a short card in your own words matters as much as the flowers.

What kind of flowers should I get a man for his birthday?

Sunflowers, deep red roses, blue delphinium and hydrangea, and textured extras like thistle and berries all suit a man who likes strong color. Browse our sunflowers for more bold, sunny designs, and save pastel ruffles for someone who loves them.

Which flower is best to give a husband?

Red roses remain the traditional romantic choice, often linked with love and respect. If he'd find a dozen red roses too sentimental, sunflowers are commonly associated with warmth and loyalty, and a sunflower and rose mix like Regal Wrap lands somewhere in between.

Is there such a thing as a masculine flower?

No flower belongs to one gender, but some read as more masculine: sunflowers, protea, thistle, delphinium and anything in deep blue, green or gold. Simple containers and greenery like eucalyptus help too. His own taste is still the best guide.

Can I send birthday flowers for him to his office?

Yes. Use the company's full address with his full name and pick a weekday. Office deliveries go to the front desk or reception during business hours, and an exact time can't be promised, so choose the day before if the flowers should be there for a lunch.
