What do you give someone who already has enough things?
It's the one day of the year that belongs entirely to them, so we make something they can keep.
The card
What to write
We write the card by hand, exactly as you send it. Take one of these or change it so it sounds like you.
- Happy birthday. I wanted to send you something that lasts, a bit like your patience with me.
- Many happy returns. I hope you still have this next year.
- Happy birthday. There's nothing to water and nothing to keep alive.
- This is for your birthday, and for every birthday you look at it after.
- Happy birthday. I wanted to send you something you'd keep.
- That's another year gone. Here's something to keep once the cake is finished.
- Happy birthday from all of us. We're sorry we couldn't be there.
- I hope you have a lovely day and a whole year of good things.
Timing
When to order
We take three to five days to make a piece, and delivery in Colombo adds a day. If you order a week ahead, there's room for the date to move. We can often manage same-week orders, so please ask rather than assume.
What most people get wrong
The most common mistake is sending it on the day itself. We'd send it the morning before, so that it's already on the table when the day starts instead of arriving in the middle of everything else.
What to send

Rust and Ivory Lily Bouquet
Some anniversaries want warmth rather than romance. This one is built from rust and ivory lilies with layered gerberas, and it is the largest piece we make in autumn colours.

Scarlet Carnation Bouquet
There are days that call for red and nothing else. This one is a dozen scarlet carnations with folded, ruffled petals, wrapped in slate and gold.
LKR 5,2003 to 5 days
Blush and White Daisy Bouquet
Some birthdays you really want to get right. This one gathers daisies, lilies and small pearl-centred blossoms in blush and white, packed into a full round dome.

Tell us who it is for.
We reply within the hour on most days. You're not committing to anything, and we never show the price to the person receiving it.
