April birth flower ceramic gifts have the daisy to work with — the flower so cheerful it has been on children's wallpaper since before children had opinions about wallpaper. Chive made a version in orange yellow. 4 inches, designed for a wall rather than a meadow. The orange yellow glaze puts the April daisy in a different conversation from the white-centered field version, which is either an improvement or a provocation depending on the wall.

April birthday gift in a color the daisy chose for itself

Todd's mother always bought the orange ones. Never another color. The white looked boring to her. The ceramic version arrived at the same conclusion she did — orange yellow, not white, not plain yellow, the specific warm tone of the orange daisy that she always went back to without explaining why she was right. It hangs with one screw in 90 seconds and stays there, being April, in the color it was always supposed to be.

Chive ceramic flowers are stocked in the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens, the Atlanta Botanical Garden, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and more than 200 galleries and museum shops worldwide. The Birth Flower Collection was designed in Toronto, made by hand since 1999.

April birthday gift ideas for the person who already has daisies

The orange yellow daisy ships in a Chive gift box, requires no explanation about the color, and is ready to hang. It is the April birthday gift that does not require a vase, a sunny windowsill, or the follow-up conversation about whether it made it. The wall it ends up on does not need to know the reasoning. The person who gave it does.
