What to write on a child's card
May every day feel like a party and your dreams like adventures waiting to happen!
May you always be surrounded by people who love and support you. We're with you!
Wishing you exciting discoveries, loyal friends and lots of reasons to laugh.
May this year bring new skills, favourite books and unforgettable holidays.
You're our little sunshine. Happy birthday!
Keep it short and simple: a child should be able to read the card alone or understand it when read aloud.
Celebrating from afar
A video call at a good time — arrange it in advance so the birthday person can talk without rushing.
A voice message — a real voice feels warmer than text, especially for older relatives.
Flower delivery — a bouquet with a card delivered in the morning makes a lovely surprise.
A group video greeting — collect short wishes from mutual friends and edit them into one video.

Flowers and gifts for grandchildren
Girls love receiving a small bouquet or flowers in a box — it is their first “grown-up” gift. Flowers suit grown-up grandchildren at any age, while for a boy a balloon or a toy makes a great addition to the main present.
A greeting, a short age-appropriate wish and the signature “Love, Grandma and Grandpa”. Parents will read the card to a toddler, so keep it simple and warm.
Is it okay to give flowers to a granddaughter?
Yes, even little girls love getting their own bouquet. Choose small arrangements in soft shades.
How can I congratulate a grandchild from far away?
Record a video or voice message and order a bouquet or gift delivery.
