In adulthood, people most often get one of two gifts for their birthday: money or a card. But this tradition can grow tiresome. Even in early adulthood and middle age, people appreciate surprises. One of the best surprise gifts you can get are birthday flowers. Here are a few reasons they make for such a pleasant and unexpected birthday present. 

3 Reasons Flowers Make a Great Surprise Birthday Present

1. They're Unique

As previously mentioned, people in their twenties, thirties, forties, and beyond are accustomed to getting cards from loved ones and, in some cases, cash or a check from close family members. What isn't nearly as common, though, is a bouquet of flowers. An unexpected gift of beautiful blooms will add an element of excitement and natural beauty to a person's birthday. 

2. You Can Send Them Anywhere, Anytime

Unlike cards, which usually arrive in the mail a few days before or after a person's birthday, gift-givers can precisely time when they want their flowers bestowed on the birthday man or woman. Further, they can have them sent to places besides the mailbox, including a person's office or classroom. Few acts pack a bigger, giddier surprise than having flowers arrive at someone's place of work. 

3. They're Romantic

If you're a boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, or wife, you might schedule a fancy dinner or an evening out for your significant other's birthday. But why begin the celebration at night? Start the romantic gestures during the day by sending roses, succulents, or orchids to your loved one’s office, classroom, or home.
