Perfect gifts for life’s greatest gift
Are you stuck for ideas for a baby gift ?A new baby is such a special occasion, but it’s not always easy to find the perfect gift – and often there isn’t a lot of time either.
Here’s a fresh idea….. flowers. A stunning fresh floral arrangement is a special and personal gift which will leave a lasting impression.
And if you can’t decide on what to do, have a chat to your local florist who will happily discuss budget, preferences, ideas etc. It’s worth remembering that seasonal flowers always offer the best value.
Traditional pastel hued flowers are always popular, especially those varieties with small flowers. Every popular species for a baby arrangement are gypsophila, rosebuds, lily of the valley, lisanthus, orchids and carnations.
The traditional way is gender-specific arrangements with blue flowers for boys and pink ones for girls.There are so many ideas to choose from – from a formal centrepiece for the baby shower table to a traditional posy.That’s one of the lovely things about giving people flowers.It is such a personal decision and there are no rules to abide by.
It’s always fun to see what innovations florists come up with for baby showers, such as these new ideas from Perth florist, Ennis Flowers.They have seen a trend towards a combination of fresh flowers and treats or gifts, as it combines a little luxury with something practical.”It’s a lovely idea to combine a stunning floral gift with a more practical item like a piece of clothing or toy.This combines the best of both – a gift for the parents and something for baby as well,” said the Perth florist.
And what about something specially for mum ?Another suggestion from the Perth florist is a gift hamper for the new mum, filled to the brim with personal care items and luxury indulgences. They also prepare stunning baby gift boxes filled with toys and care items for baby.
If you want to add some festive fun to your arrangement, why not ask your online florist to include some bright, helium filled balloons.And when there are older brothers or sisters, that can be a clever choice as it can distract them from all the attention being directed at the new arrival.These fun balloons – and possibly other small little gifts – are a really effective way of making sure that everyone feels included in the celebrations.
‘Flower bouquets’ made from clothing are another great new idea.Made from items of clothing such as bibs, rompers and leggings, these are carefully folded into ‘fabric roses’ which are then mixed with artificial leaves and wrapped in tissue paper. “Teddy bouquets’, comprising a collection of miniature teddies wrapped in feathers and coloured paper also make lovely baby gifts. Another idea is a selection of ‘cupcakes’ or ‘gelato cones’, made from items of clothing such as socks, vests and rompers and arranged in silicon cupcake moulds to look just like edible treats.
Another new idea is a ‘nappy cake’, which are layers of nappies, wraps and other gifts, arranged in tiers and wrapped in cellophane and ribbon.These cakes can be made up in any colour combination and look really spectacular.
A baby is a gift of life. With ideas like these from a Perth flower delivery specialist, you can be sure that your gift will be one to remember.
