August is the perfect month for last-minute summer vacations, going for a swim, campfires with friends, and getting ready to go back to school! With all the fun activities, don’t forget about your friends and family with August birthdays.
Take a look at this month’s birth flower and birthstone prints, which make excellent birthday gifts for anyone on your list! Each print features the beauty and symbolism behind August’s special flowers and gemstones, making them a meaningful gift for birthdays, anniversaries, or anyone who loves flowers, crystals, and art.
August Birth Flower: Gladiolus
Gladiolus is a summer-blooming flower also known as a “sword lily,” with bright multicolored flowers blooming up a tall stem. They symbolize strength, remembrance, and integrity, making them a great gift for someone who is strong and resilient or whose integrity you admire.
A Gladiolus birth flower print is a thoughtful way to celebrate someone’s strength, honor their journey, or add a meaningful piece of floral artwork to your home.
August Birth Flower: Poppy
Poppies are beautiful red and orange flowers with delicate, paper-thin petals. They are also the state flower of California, where I now live!
Poppies are symbols of remembrance, sleep, and peace. They are historically used to remember and honor those who have died in war, specifically soldiers and innocent victims of World War II. Gifting poppies (or my Poppy birth flower print!) can symbolize your hope for a peaceful future for you and your loved ones.
August Birthstone: Peridot
Peridot is a bright lime green gemstone sometimes called the “gem of the sun.” It symbolizes strength, positivity, and good luck, so it’s a wonderful gift for those starting school this season or as a good luck charm for those with August birthdays.
Peridot is also a traditional gift for the 15th anniversary of marriage, making a Peridot birthstone print a unique anniversary gift for couples celebrating this milestone.
