What Are Traditional Birthday

Gifts?

What can I send instead of flowers for birthday?

There are many gifts you can send to wish someone a happy birthday instead of flowers. Birthday Gift Baskets are always a great choice because there is such a wide variety to choose from so you can tailor your gift to match the persons hobbies or tastes.

For example, if your gift recipient is a chocolate lover you can send

them a birthday gift basket filled with all kinds of delicious chocolates like dark

chocolate, milk chocolate, chocolate covered strawberries and even a snack or

junk food gift basket filled with nothing but popular candy bars that everyone

loves like snickers, recess peanut butter cups, almond joy and other treats they

are sure to love. There are also many different types of gift baskets such as a

gourmet gift basket for example. This type of gift basket is filled with a

variety of gourmet foods and snacks such as a nice summer sausage with cheese &

crackers and maybe even a nice bottle of red or white wine.

If your birthday recipient is health conscious than how about sending them a

healthy fruit basket filled with delicious crisp red or green apples, grapes,

peaches, bananas, and even some exotic fruits like mangos, kiwi or even a fresh

pineapple when it is in season.

Birthday Cookies

are also a nice gift. Fill a gift basket with a variety of cookies such as

Oatmeal, Peanut Butter, Shortbread and even Biscotti! You can also send a Cookie

Gift Tower too. Cookie gift towers are a nice gift because all the cookies are

in beautiful keepsake boxes that stack up to form a gift tower that is very

impressive plus they can reuse the boxes to hold all kinds of different things

so it really is a gift that keeps on giving. Birthday cookies can be delivered

the same day when you order online as well, so if you forgot someone's birthday

or need to send it fast, sending cookies for a birthday is a great birthday

idea. There are also Personalized Birthday Cookies too. Remember, you can send

birthday cookies the same day.

The best part about sending a gift

basket is that you don't have to make it yourself. There are many great gift

basket companies out there that create and deliver awesome gift baskets and you

can shop at your own convenience online easily too, plus there are no lines and

they are open 24/7 so you can shop from the comfort of your own home and take

your time choosing the perfect birthday gift.

A great birthday gift for a woman

can also be a nice spa or bath and body gift basket. These types of birthday

gifts for her a filled with all kinds of indulgent items such as body scrubs,

lotions & potions, nail kits, and other things that women like when they want to

treat themselves to a relaxing spa day. They can even include nice birthday

candles too.
