5 Surprisingly Perfect Ways to Use a Birth Flower Journal
You know that feeling when you find the perfect gift that’s both pretty and personal? That’s exactly why I created these birth flower journals. I wanted something thoughtful that’s also cute enough to actually use. Not something that ends up in a junk drawer with expired pens and mystery receipts.
Whether you’re shopping for someone else (go you) or just treating yourself (also go you), here are five fun and surprisingly perfect ways to use a personalized birth flower journal from my shop.
1. A Birthday Gift That Isn’t Boring
Flowers are sweet but they wilt. A journal with their birth flower, their name, and maybe a little inside joke? That’s a gift that lasts and gets used. Want to win extra points? Write a note on the first page before gifting it.
2. A Travel Journal for Your Big Trip
If you're going somewhere exciting, you need a place to document the adventure. These journals are just the right size at 5.75 by 8 inches, easy to pack but roomy enough for stories, lists, or even sketching out weird Airbnbs. The pages are perforated too, so you can tear one out if you want to leave a note or write a postcard. Customize the cover with your destination and you're good to go.
3. A Wedding Keepsake That Isn’t a Mason Jar
For brides, grooms, and planners looking for something meaningful, these journals make beautiful vow books or guestbooks. Pick the flower for the wedding month or use each partner’s birth flower for a romantic little twist. The flower-printed inner pages add just the right touch of sweetness without being over-the-top.
4. A Baby Book You’ll Actually Use
These make the sweetest baby shower gifts. Parents can jot down milestones, memories, or whatever they don’t want to forget in those foggy early days. Choose between 100 or 200 pages depending on how much you want to capture. Add the baby’s name or birth flower for a keepsake they’ll cherish long after the diapers are gone.
5. A Creative Space That’s All Yours
Sometimes you just need a pretty notebook to get your thoughts out. Whether you’re journaling, sketching, making to-do lists, or writing affirmations, these are made to be both functional and beautiful. The satin-finish soft cover with rounded corners feels great in your hand, and the 80lb text paper is smooth, sturdy, and ink-friendly. Treat yourself. No special occasion required.
Why Birth Flowers?
Each month has a flower with its own meaning and personality. I hand-illustrated all of them with care so your journal feels extra personal. May is lily of the valley, June is rose, and every flower has its own story.
