It may be the Year of the Metal Tiger on the Chinese calendar, but someone you know will also be celebrating a special birthday within the next month or two! If you can remember how great you felt the last time you received a delivery of flowers, then why not make someone special in your life feel great this year too by combining starsigns and birthday flowers to create a unique and memorable gift.

You don’t have to be an astrology buff to consider your friend’s Sun sign when choosing birthday flowers to send this year. Every starsign is associated with specific flowers, gems and elements. Each sign is also associated with an astrological symbol, so getting a little creative and selecting flowers and plants that add a deeper meaning to your delivery will make your friend or relative feel super-special.

Flowers have long held special meanings. Astrological signs hold meaning for many people as well. When you combine the two you are sure to send a message that says you care and you care a lot! Don’t hold back. Get creative and have fun with the entire process. If you need help selecting your gift, just call your Toronto flowers expert and they’ll tell you what types of flowers are available and they can even help you design a bouquet or plant gift around a person’s Sun sign.

Here’s an example of how you can begin designing your gift. Maybe your friend was born on July 18. Their Sun sign is that of Cancer. Cancer is a water sign that loves white flowers, roses and ferns. More than some other signs that might prefer receiving a plant, a Cancer will love to receive a bouquet simply because of the ‘water’ element. Let you imagination run wild!

Now you can begin to picture the gift you’re delivering to your Cancer friend in your mind’s eye. A bouquet of roses with delicate ferns and Baby’s Breath, may seem like a dull flower gift to another sign, but your Cancer friend will adore it to pieces, especially if the roses are white! Add a crystal vase to the picture so that the ‘water element’ is visible and your friend will be so touched that they will probably send you flowers as a Thank You gift because Cancers are extremely sentimental and loyal friends.

Adding more elements to a birthday flowers gift adds your personal touch. So if you’ve been merely sending someone special an e-card for the past few years, maybe it’s time to send something meaningful to someone special this year!

Whether you are sending a gift across town, across Canada or across the world, there is a flower or plant arrangement that will touch the heart of someone you know. It could be a dear old friend who is about to turn sixty this year or a niece who is celebrating her fifth birthday. Let you imagination run wild and design your special gifts this year around starsigns and flowers!

Worried that the flowers you want to send won’t be available? No need to be concerned! Even if the person on your birthday list has a birthday in February and lives in Toronto, and their starsigns and birthday flowers are blooming in Africa, your local Toronto florist will be able to access and flowers Canada all over Canada or all over the world through their vast distribution channels.
