Why This Birthday Flowers Gift for Her Is Special
Frequently Asked Questions
Looking for a birthday gift that lasts longer than fresh flowers — is the Dried Flower Bouquet Birthday Gift Set a good choice?
Yes — the mini dried lavender bouquet keeps its colour and scent long after fresh flowers would fade, and it comes with a jar of floral lavender bath salts and a handmade lavender soap for a relaxing soak. It's a lovely mix of something to look at and something to use.
What occasions suit this lavender bouquet birthday gift set?
Birthdays are the most popular, and it also suits Mother's Day, thank-you gifts, housewarmings, or a just-because surprise for a flower lover.
Does this gift set arrive ready to give?
Yes — it arrives gift-boxed, ready to send straight to the recipient: just enter their address as the shipping address. To include a personal message, add one of our greeting cards to your order and write your message in the Gift message or special instructions box in your cart — we'll handwrite it on the card. Receipts are emailed to you, so no price or invoice goes in the parcel.
How do I use this lavender bouquet birthday gift set?
Stand the dried bouquet in a small vase or jar away from direct sun and moisture so it keeps its colour. Add 2–3 tablespoons of floral bath salts to a warm bath and soak for 15–20 minutes. Use the handmade soap in the bath or shower.
Does this lavender bouquet birthday gift set contain nuts, coconut, beeswax or milk?
The handmade Lavender Artisan Soap contains sweet almond oil and coconut oil. None of the items contain beeswax or milk. Full ingredient lists are on each product's own page.
Where does the lavender in this gift set come from?
The bath salts and soap are made with Super Lavandin (Lavandula × intermedia 'Super') essential oil grown and steam-distilled on our family farm in Newstead, Waikato, and the bouquet is made from lavender harvested on the same farm. The bath salts are topped with dried lavender, rose and calendula petals.
