How much should you spend on birthday flowers?
No matter who the intended recipient is, budget is important when gift shopping. If you are not sure how much you should spend on birthday flowers for your friend or loved one, there are a few things to consider. The best approach is to think of an amount of money that you would spend on any gift – not necessarily flowers. Once you know how much you can afford to spend, you can compare the options below.
Birthday blooms
When you visit your favourite online florist, you will notice that there is a section dedicated to birthday flowers. These blooms are perfect for the occasion and each bouquet is clearly priced to make it easy for you to stick to your budget. Many of these bouquets also include extras like chocolates or a balloon which makes your give more affordable overall.
Cheap flowers
If you are looking for the most affordable bouquets, you can move on from birthday flowers and check out the cheap flowers section instead. This is where you are going to find the greatest discounts as well as impressive combo deals. Remember, it’s not only about the price of the bouquet but the overall value for money.
Consider a plant
Birthday flowers don’t necessarily need to be flowers. You could send a potted plant instead! The best part about online florists is that they also have the most amazing selection of houseplants. These plants can be delivered directly to the recipient just as you would send a bouquet. Some of the most popular options include rose plants, orchids and potted lilies. Of course, if you know that the recipient leads a particularly busy life and they don’t always have time to tend to plants, you could always send a succulent instead.
Silk arrangements
Long-lasting and beautiful, silk birthday flowers will really make their day! These are the perfect choice for the busy recipient as well as those with severe flower allergies. They will not make the recipient sneeze and, because they are such high quality, you can be sure that they will pleasantly be mistaken for the real thing!
In short, when planing the perfect gift, you should budget between £20 and £30 as a minimum. You will easily find a selection of fresh flowers, silk flowers and potted plants within this price range. By determining your budget for birthday flowers before you start shopping, you will find it that much easier to select an impressive yet affordable gift every time.
