Our most frequently asked questions

Is it okay to send flowers directly to the hospital?

Yes, many hospitals allow flower deliveries to patient rooms, though it's worth double-checking with the specific maternity ward first, as some restrict fresh flowers due to space or infection-control policies. If in doubt, sending to the family's home for when they return is a safe bet.

What's the best time to send a new baby gift — right after the birth or a bit later?

The first week or two is the sweet spot, since new parents are usually home and settling in by then. It's also fine to send something a few weeks later — new parents appreciate being thought of even after the initial flurry of gifts fades.

Are any flowers unsafe to have around a newborn?

Strongly-scented or heavily pollinating flowers like lilies can be a lot in a small nursery, and lilies are toxic to cats if there's a pet in the house — lighter-scented blooms like roses or hydrangeas are a gentler choice for a newborn's space.

What should I write in a new baby card?

Keep it warm and centered on the parents as much as the baby — something like "Congratulations on your new arrival, sending love to all three of you" acknowledges the whole family, not just the baby.

Should I send flowers or a gift for the baby, like a plant or keepsake?

Flowers are a lovely way to celebrate the parents, while a plant, blanket, or keepsake tends to last longer as a memory of the occasion. Many people do both — a bouquet for now, a small keepsake for later.

Is it better to give an arranged bouquet rather than loose stems for new parents?

Yes — an arrangement that's ready to display is much easier for sleep-deprived new parents than one they'd need to trim and arrange themselves, so pre-arranged or vased options are the more thoughtful choice here.

What colours or flowers are traditional for celebrating a new baby?

Soft pastels like pale pink, blue, and yellow are classic, with roses, tulips, and carnations especially popular choices. Yellow and white combinations work well if you don't know the baby's gender.
