Picking birthday flowers for kids

Bright kids birthday flowers for younger children

Younger children usually respond to big, simple color. The Best Day Birthday Bouquet sets sunflowers and roses in a clear glass vase with a Happy Birthday balloon on top, and Birthday Brights Bouquet piles gerbera daisies, roses and lilies into an orange, pink and yellow mix. Sunshine Bouquet sticks to cheerful yellow daisies with eucalyptus, and Floral Embrace gathers yellow and orange blooms with pops of pink and purple. Aloha adds a tropical feel with protea, tulips and a scatter of pebbles at the base of a tall vase. Extra balloons can be added to most flower orders in the cart.

Teens and milestone birthdays

Teenagers often like to be treated a little older. Ultimate Pink Roses in one to three dozen long stems, the purple and white roses of Lavender Embrace, or the bold anemones and roses of Spring Awakening Bouquet all feel special without being romantic. Skip the designs built around romance, like Love Love Love and the Classic Love Bundle, which are written for partners. For a sweet sixteen, going up a size makes the moment feel bigger.

Safe spots and school deliveries

Set the vase where small hands can't tip it over, and keep flowers and greenery away from little ones who still put things in their mouths. Lily pollen can stain clothes and furniture, so pinch off the anthers if the bouquet includes lilies. To surprise a child at school, check first whether the school accepts deliveries for students. School deliveries go to the front desk or reception during business hours, so ask the office how they pass them along.

Kids birthday flower questions

Are flowers a good birthday gift for a child?

They can be, especially for a child who loves color or has never had flowers of their own. A bouquet with a balloon feels festive, and older kids often enjoy looking after it.

What flowers are best for a kid's birthday?

Sunflowers, gerbera daisies and bright mixed bouquets are easy wins, since bold color reads as fun. Our birthday sunflowers have more sunny designs, and it's best to save deep red roses for romance.

What should a birthday card for a child say?

Keep it short enough for them to read, or to have read aloud. Try "Happy 8th birthday, Maya! Love, Grandma and Grandpa" or "Sixteen looks good on you. So proud of you, Aunt Jo." Add it at checkout and it's included on a card with the flowers.

What are good birthday gifts for kids besides flowers?

A balloon bundle, a small potted plant they can water themselves, or a bouquet paired with a treat from you all work well. For flowers for a child that feel playful rather than formal, our birthday daisies are a cheerful place to start.
