We hope you love the products we recommend! All of them were independently selected by our editors. Just so you know, HuffPost UK may collect a share of sales or other compensation from the links on this page if you decide to shop from them. Oh, and FYI — prices are accurate and items in stock as of time of publication.

It happens to the best of us. That present you’ve been meaning to buy for your loved one slips further down your to-do list until the big day arrives – you’re on your way to the birthday dinner, even – and you realise: fuck. I forgot to get them anything.

Whatever you do, don’t panic. Least of all, because any reasonable friend or family member will understand, but more importantly, because there’s always a way to dig yourself out of this hole. 

For those moments when you find yourself in a pinch, flower delivery service Interflora works with local florists all over the country to design custom bouquets that can be delivered in under a few hours.

Take me to Interflora

With hundreds of thoughtfully designed bouquets to choose from, all you have to do is select your favourite, add custom notes, and if you order before 3pm your creation will be delivered the very same day.

You can even choose from bouquets with a vase or a gift bag of your choice – and of course add a customised note.

And I know what you’re thinking: no, delivery doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Actually, it’s between £10-£15 for same day delivery.

We see you panic reading, so to save you time, we’ve rounded up the best birthday flowers for August birthdays and new parents.
