My Top Gifts For May Birthdays
Sometimes a great birthday gift can be tough to find, but if you’re hunting for a May birthday present I’ve got some awesome inspiration for you. We have a great range of birthday gifts perfect for May babies – and now you’re going to find out exactly why they’ll be perfectly personalised gifts just for them.
I have to say, May is a great month to have a birthday. The days are getting long, the sun comes out but it’s not too hot yet, all the flowers are blossoming and trees are budding. The best bit for lots of us – May has two bank holidays AND a half term! So there is plenty of scope for adventures and activities. Here are some things that you might not know about being born in May (and some lovely, unique gift ideas).
May Birth Flower Gifts – Lily of the Valley
Similar to birthdays in April, May birthdays celebrate the rebirth and renewal of a new season as flowers begin to bloom and the weather gets warmer. The birth flower of May is Lily of the Valley which is also known as the Mayflower. Lily of the valley represents humility and purity and is also thought to bring luck in love, and it smells absolutely delicious!
We have some beautiful gifts with Nessie’s popular birth flower illustrations that would be perfect for someone who has a birthday in May.
May Star Sign Gifts – Taurus & Gemini
The beginning of May right up until the 20th are born under the sign of the Taurus, represented by the bull, in the Zodiac. This is an Earth sign and it is believed that people with an earth sign are the most grounded, stable and pragmatic. Other Taurus traits include being intelligent, hardworking and dedicated.
However for the late May babies, the star sign from the 21st of May is the Gemini twins, an air sign meaning they are great thinkers and communicators; and are likely to be very sociable. Other Gemini traits include being adaptable, outgoing and intelligent.
You can see all my lovely star sign illustrations across a range of designs!
May Constellation Gifts – Taurus & Gemini
When we talk about star signs people often think of the physical representation of the icon (EG Cancer – A crab, Leo – A lion), but we don’t often know what our star sign actually looks like when we look up at the stars. Constellations are so inspiring, they make us feel so small and your problems feel so irrelevant (which is kind of comforting right?)
So what’s it look like for May Babies? The Taurus constellation is one of the oldest constellations dating back to at least 3100BC and can be seen in the Northern Hemisphere alongside the Gemini constellation.
Why not add the Taurus or Gemini constellation to a print or keepsake card to make an excellent gift for a May baby.
May Birth Stone Gifts – Emerald
May’s birthstone is an emerald; a rich green stone that relates to the beauty of nature and symbolises hope, renewal and growth. It is believed that the emerald stone opens and nurtures the heart chakra providing soothing energy and bringing freshness and vitality.
We include all of the details associated with your birthday, your birthstone, star sign, zodiac animal etc, on our Universe Print. The perfect gift for welcoming a new May baby into the world.
Whatever it means, being born in May worked pretty well for the likes of Mark Zuckerberg, James Brown, Queen Victoria, Audrey Hepburn and Florence Nightingale! If you’re looking for a gift for a birthday in May then check out my full collection of May gifts.
