A Baby Has Arrived

A Baby Has Arrived: A New Baby Gift With a Plush Teddy and Fresh White Flowers

A Baby Has Arrived is the gift you send when you find out, the gift you send to the hospital ward, and the gift you bring to the first visit at home. A soft brown plush teddy bear paired with a hand-tied bouquet of fresh white roses, white chrysanthemums, white alstroemeria and soft greenery, arranged at our Claremont studio in Cape Town and delivered the same day. Gender-neutral by design. Quietly beautiful by intention.

We have been hand-arranging new-baby gifts since 1999, with 5,800+ reviews across Google, Trustpilot and Loox across the brand and early Loox feedback on this specific gift rating it 5 out of 5. Same-day delivery anywhere in Cape Town for orders placed before 12pm Monday to Saturday.

What's Inside A Baby Has Arrived

• Soft brown plush teddy bear, designed to live in a nursery, a cot, or a pram for years. Made for cuddling, hand-stitched seams, plush all-over.
• Hand-tied bouquet of fresh white flowers, white roses, white chrysanthemums, soft white alstroemeria and seasonal complementary white blooms.
• Lush green foliage, eucalyptus and complementary greens for soft contrast and movement around the white.
• Gift-wrap and handwritten card, your message written by our team and tucked alongside the teddy.

Specific white flower varieties vary by season. We substitute only with same-tone, same-quality South African white stems. The teddy bear is fixed. The white-and-green palette is fixed. We never downgrade value.

A Gift That Works For Boys, Girls and the In-Between

Half the new-baby gifts on the market are pink. The other half are blue. A Baby Has Arrived is built for the moment before anyone has chosen sides, the parents who would rather keep their nursery neutral, the friends who do not know the gender, and the babies who deserve more than colour-coded marketing. The brown teddy is warm without being childish. The white flowers are celebratory without being saccharine. Together they suit a maternity ward bedside table, a kitchen counter at home, or the first photograph the family will take with the new arrival.

Who To Send A Baby Has Arrived To

Send it the day you find out. Send it to a maternity ward when a friend has just given birth. Send it for a baby shower in the weeks before, or as part of our baby shower gift boxes range. Send it to a sister, sister-in-law, cousin, colleague or close friend. Browse our wider new-born baby gift boxes, our new-born baby flowers, or the broader new-born baby products range for additional options. For a "welcome the second baby" gesture from the older sibling, pair with a congratulations flowers bouquet. For a longer-lasting white-flower companion, the Peace in a Jar sits in the same palette, and the Glee in a Jar offers a soft pastel alternative if the parents are open to colour. The Florist's Choice Bouquet hands the white styling over to us at a larger scale.

How To Send A Baby Has Arrived To a Maternity Ward

Maternity wards welcome fresh flowers. Unlike ICU and oncology, where fresh stems are often restricted, maternity is the one ward where flowers are an enthusiastic yes. Include the recipient's full name, the hospital, the ward, and the bed or room number in the delivery notes at checkout. If the family has been discharged before delivery, we will route the gift to the home address at no extra cost (let us know on the phone or via hello@fabulousflowers.co.za as soon as you know). White roses traditionally represent purity, new beginnings and remembrance. Our short guide to the symbolic meaning of flowers walks through what each white flower carries.

Why Order From Fabulous Flowers

We have been a working florist since 1999, with two Cape Town studios (Claremont and Sea Point). We hand-tie every A Baby Has Arrived bouquet ourselves, source white roses and chrysanthemums from South African growers we have worked with for years, and quality-check every stem before the gift leaves the studio. Our short florist near me guide covers our Cape Town footprint in detail, and the gift baskets guide on the blog covers our wider gifting context. For sister single-tone flower ranges, browse our white flowers collection. For a "welcome a new baby AND congratulate the parents on a new chapter" angle, pair with anniversary flowers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's inside A Baby Has Arrived?

A soft brown plush teddy bear and a hand-tied bouquet of fresh white roses, white chrysanthemums, white alstroemeria and lush green foliage, finished with gift wrap and a handwritten card. Delivered together as one gift, ready to hand over.

Is A Baby Has Arrived suitable for a baby boy or a baby girl?

Both. The gift is intentionally gender-neutral. The brown teddy and the white-and-green palette work equally well for boys, girls, twins, and parents who are keeping the gender private until birth.

Where do you deliver A Baby Has Arrived?

Same-day delivery in Cape Town only, for orders placed before 12pm Monday to Saturday. Delivery windows run 9am to 6pm. Because the gift includes fresh flowers, it does not ship via nationwide courier or to Johannesburg. For nationwide-shipping new-baby options, contact us at hello@fabulousflowers.co.za and we will recommend an alternative.

Can you deliver to maternity wards in Cape Town hospitals?

Yes, and we do it often. We deliver to Mediclinic Cape Town, Netcare Christiaan Barnard, Life Vincent Pallotti, Kingsbury Hospital, Mediclinic Constantiaberg, Vergelegen Mediclinic and every other Cape Town maternity ward. Maternity wards welcome fresh flowers (unlike ICU and oncology). Include the mother's full name, hospital, ward and bed or room number in the delivery notes.

What flowers are in the bouquet?

A hand-tied mix of fresh white roses, white chrysanthemums, white alstroemeria and complementary seasonal white stems, set off with eucalyptus and soft greens. Specific varieties may vary by season but the palette stays white-and-green throughout.

Is the teddy bear safe for a newborn?

The teddy is designed as a keepsake and a long-term cuddle companion rather than a sleep toy. South African and international paediatric guidance recommends that newborn cots stay clear of soft toys and loose fabric until the baby is older. The teddy is safe for older babies and toddlers, and beautiful as a nursery shelf or pram companion from day one.

How long will the flowers last?

Five to seven days with proper care: trim the stems, refresh the water every two days, keep the bouquet away from direct sunlight and ripening fruit. We back every fresh-flower order with a 5-day freshness guarantee.

Can I add chocolates, a card or a personalised baby gift?

Yes. Add chocolates, a candle, a personalised baby blanket or a custom card at checkout and we will pack everything to be delivered together as one gift. Add the parents' or baby's name to the card in the checkout notes and we will handwrite it.

What if my chosen white flowers are out of season?

We substitute only with same-tone, same-quality South African white stems. The white-and-green palette and the teddy bear are fixed. The arrangement always arrives at the same calibre. We never downgrade value.

Can I order A Baby Has Arrived from overseas?

Yes. We take international cards from the UK, USA, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and beyond. Our checkout converts to your local currency. We deliver to the recipient in Cape Town the same day, handwrite the note on your behalf, and can send a delivery confirmation photo on request. New-baby gifts are one of the most-requested moments from the South African diaspora.

Can I send A Baby Has Arrived for a baby shower before the baby arrives?

Yes. The teddy and the white-flower bouquet work beautifully as a baby shower gift in the weeks before birth. The mother gets the bouquet to enjoy at the shower, and the teddy goes home to wait for the new arrival. See our baby shower flowers range for additional shower-specific options.

Will the recipient get the same teddy in the photo?

Yes. The teddy is our standard brown plush. Style and finish match the photographs on the page. If a specific size or colour variation is needed (twins for example), email us at hello@fabulousflowers.co.za before ordering and we will accommodate where possible.

Fabulous Flowers and Gifts Fresh Flowers Care Instructions

Fresh Flowers

Find a Vase: Your lovely blooms need a drink! Put them in your favourite vase with fresh water as soon as possible.

Trim Those Stems: Keep those stems fresh by cutting them at an angle. This allows more water up the stem. Checking and trimming the stems every few days will keep them sound.

Gently Strip Leaves: Remove any excess leaves, especially from the part of the stem that will be submerged. This helps to avoid rot and bacteria, which can shorten your flowers' life span.

Remove Old Blooms: Drooping flowers release ethylene gas, which may accelerate the aging of other flowers. Strip off any dead or dying flowers to keep the rest of the bouquet looking bright and fresh.

Keep Them Cool: Place your flowers away from heat sources such as heaters, televisions, or ovens to retain the beauty of your flowers.

Clean Water: Always place your flowers in clean water. Refresh your vase with water daily or at least every second day. 

Gift Boxes

Storage Tips: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep contents in perfect condition.

Handling with Care: Handle this box gently so as not to damage the delicate items inside.

Freshening: If your gift includes foods or beverages, please refer to the individual product use-by and expiry dates and the informational materials regarding storage recommendations:

Plants

Watering: Ensure your plants are hydrated but avoid overwatering. Check the soil's moisture regularly and water it when the top inch feels dry.

Light: Place your plants in a spot where they receive the appropriate amount of light. Some prefer bright, indirect light, while others thrive in low-light conditions.

Feeding: Feed your plants with a balanced fertiliser every few weeks during the growing season to keep them healthy and vibrant.

Pruning: Regularly remove dead leaves and trim back overgrown branches to encourage new growth and maintain the plant's shape.

Humidity: Some plants thrive in high humidity. If needed, mist your plants occasionally or place a humidifier nearby to create a favourable environment.

Artificial Flowers and Plants

Dusting: Your artificial flowers and botanicals should be lightly dusted regularly with a soft cloth or feather duster.

Light Washing: For deeper cleaning, please use a cloth lightly dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently wipe the leaves and petals.

Avoid Direct: Sunlight Do not place under direct sunlight in order to prevent colours from fading.

Fluff and Arrange: Just fluff up petals and leaves to remain fluffy. Set them in position as desired to look natural.

Personalize: Gift your flowers, Gift Boxes, and Artificial Flowers and Plants with the Care They Deserve; they will be a Source of Joy and Elegance for you. The charm of fresh flowers, the delight of a thoughtful gift box, and the endless beauty of an artificial plant—all special moments created by Fabulous Flowers and Gifts.

Please Note: Due to the seasonal nature of flowers and availability of specific items, the contents of our bouquets and gift boxes may vary throughout the year. We strive to substitute any unavailable items with products of equal or greater value, ensuring that every gift you receive is fresh, beautiful, and of the highest quality. Thank you for your understanding and for choosing us to celebrate your special moments.
