Gifts for Someone Who Doesn't Know What They Want

There is nothing quite as frustrating as not knowing what to buy someone for their birthday. You continue to ask, but they always give the same answer. They don’t know what they want. Our florists at Daniela's Flower Shop II in Morningside Heights, NY, are here to make a frustrating situation a little easier with birthday gift ideas for someone who doesn't know what they want.

Our 1-800-Flowers A-Dog-Able In A Basket is a great go-to gift for the person who isn’t quite sure what they want or just won’t say it. This delightful flower arrangement is a thoughtful gift for anyone. It is bound to bring a smile to the recipient’s face along with a fresh look to a home. It is among our most popular flower arrangements.

You know it is coming. The answer is always a shrug of the shoulders then a casual, “I don’t know what I want for my birthday. I don’t really need anything.” Of course, the answer is entirely unacceptable, but some people are bound and determined to avoid a straight answer. If you are approaching a birthday for one of these mysterious individuals, a good trick is to be incredibly observant. Go out together to places where the next perfect gift for the one who has everything might reveal itself. If you get a clue, be careful not to show it. Surprising the closed-mouth birthday boy or girl is difficult yet satisfying... if you can pull it off.

Birthdays are a celebration of life in all its complexity. If you are struggling to come up with a birthday gift idea for someone who doesn’t want anything, consider asking mutual friends. Sometimes when we have separate interests, we don’t always discuss what we might want out of fear of boring the other person. A mutual friend can often unlock the mystery for us and give us the opportunity to give the perfect surprise gift. If not, realize that letting someone know how much they mean to you is often the best gift you can give.

It’s their birthday. They can be indecisive if they want. Our florists at Daniela's Flower Shop II in Morningside Heights, NY, want to help you give a gift that is the talk of the party with birthday gift ideas for someone who doesn't know what they want. Rock the party with a gift that everyone will want. Be careful. They just might try to take it home with them.
