Let the person guide your choice.
A birth month can be a starting point, but a favorite flower or color can be just as thoughtful. Choose a named mug for someone who would enjoy personalization, an unlettered tote for an everyday bag, or a lined journal for someone who enjoys writing. Totes and journals are fixed designs without personalization.
Flower meanings are cultural traditions rather than facts about a person’s character. The RHS history of floral symbolism explains how interpretations have varied. Our month associations follow FTD’s birth-flower guide; individual guides cite the meaning used.
