Some birthdays deserve a gift that feels alive. Our Anthurium ‘Lilli’ in a stylish Vibes pot, paired with a beautifully scented candle from our handmade botanical range poured in a golden tin, makes a thoughtful birthday gift — elegant, uplifting and full of quiet celebration.
There is something naturally joyful about the Anthurium ‘Lilli’. Its soft blush-pink spathes rise gently above deep green, heart-shaped leaves, giving the plant a calm brightness that lasts for weeks. It’s a living reminder of renewal, growth and all the small, beautiful things another year can bring. The kind of gift that feels personal — not loud or showy, but steady, warm and full of meaning.
The botanical candle adds a gentle glow and a softly fragrant touch, filling the room with light and warmth. Together, they create a moment of pause and appreciation, a quiet ritual for anyone who loves thoughtful design, calm spaces and nature’s rhythm.

Native habitat and growth pattern
Originating from the rainforests of Central and South America, the Anthurium grows in warm, sheltered places beneath soft, filtered light. Its long-lasting blooms — technically spathes, not true flowers — protect tiny blossoms that run along the spadix. This gentle, steady growth gives the plant its quietly celebratory feel, making it an ideal companion for marking a new year of life.
Styling at home
Perfect for desks, bedside tables, living room shelves or hallway corners, the Anthurium’s refined shape and soft colour bring a subtle lift to any interior. Paired with the candle’s warm glow, it creates a space that feels relaxed, cared for and beautifully intentional.
Care requirements
Place in bright, indirect light and keep the compost lightly moist, allowing the top few centimetres to dry before watering again. Keep away from cold draughts. Feed monthly in spring and summer with Happy Houseplants Organic Tropical Plant Food to encourage steady growth and generous flowering.
Why choose this birthday gift
Because another year deserves something that continues to grow. This Anthurium and candle pairing offers calm, beauty and quiet optimism — a thoughtful way to celebrate life’s next chapter.
