December birth flower ceramic gifts have the narcissus to work with, and Chive is choosing not to say anything further about what it means to be born in December with a flower named for mythology's most famous case of excessive self-regard. This is it in pink. Three inches. The pink narcissus is the December birth flower in a glaze that is either festive or neutral depending on the wall, and which does not arrive in cellophane at a petrol station on the evening of December 24th.

December birthday gift for a flower that returns whether asked or not

The mythology did not specify pink. Chive did. This felt like the right decision for a December flower that needed to hold its position in a month full of competing visual noise, for a birthday that has been lost in holiday gifting since the recipient was old enough to notice. The narcissus returns in Todd's Toronto garden every spring without being invited. The ceramic version was invited. It has stayed exactly where it was placed.

Chive ceramic flowers are stocked in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Getty Museum, the Berkshire Botanical Garden, and more than 200 galleries and museum shops worldwide. The Birth Flower Collection was designed in Toronto, made by hand since 1999.

December birthday gift ideas that aren't wrapped in Christmas paper

The pink narcissus ships in a Chive gift box — not Christmas paper, not holiday packaging, just the gift. It hangs with one screw in 90 seconds and is still on the wall at the next December birthday, by which point it has survived at least one holiday season without being mistaken for seasonal decor. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame stocks it. The December birthday deserves this level of institutional credibility.
