SAME BIRTH FLOWER. THREE WAYS TO GIVE IT.

Build their August gift collection

For a mom, sister, friend or anyone who loves gladiolus flowers: choose the everyday object they would enjoy most. Add matching pieces individually on Etsy. Sold separately, may ship separately; no bundle discount is included.

Made to order. Check each Etsy listing for current price, availability and delivery estimate before choosing a gift for a specific date.

Supplier digital mockups show the products; these are not physical sample photographs. Printed colors may vary. See Etsy for current prices, availability, shipping and delivery estimates.

The flower and the gift

August's gladiolus bouquet makes a more upright statement, with coral and pink blossoms along green stems. It is the collection's choice for an August birthday and an appealing option for someone who likes a taller, structured flower arrangement.

Traditional association: Strength of character. RHS: flowers as symbols.

Another August association: Poppy. Our products feature gladiolus. Month associations: FTD.

Meanings vary with tradition and context; they do not describe everyone born in this month.

Inside our gladiolus design

The long stems and open blossoms give the gladiolus print a strong vertical rhythm. The tote has a centered front bouquet and an unprinted back. On the mug, the floral layout extends around the printable exterior, while the handle and a small surrounding area remain white.

Choosing a gift for August

A gladiolus gift can accompany a personal message of encouragement without needing that whole message printed on the item. Choose one name for the mug, then put your longer thoughts in a separate card. Select the tote if you prefer a fixed design that needs neither a name nor a font selection.

A gladiolus journal for everyday writing

Coral gladiolus blossoms create a tall arrangement on the August journal’s cream cover. It is a floral stationery choice for everyday thoughts or a birthday present, without adding a name or a slogan. The front and back use the same bouquet at different scales, with a plain cream spine between them.

A detail worth knowing

Why is the August flower not a poppy?

Birth-flower lists can offer more than one flower for a month. We chose gladiolus for the August collection; poppy is an alternative association, not a selectable design on these products.

Mugs: one name, up to 18 characters, with Classic serif or Cursive and an Etsy preview. Totes: a fixed floral bouquet, no personalization. Journals: matte hardcovers with 150 lined pages and no personalization.

Created with AI-assisted artwork, curated and arranged by Petal & Keepsake. Mugs are printed and shipped by SPOKE Custom Products; totes by Monster Digital; journals by District Photo. All three are made to order.
