How to send a birthday surprise to Lahore from abroad
Missing a birthday back home is one of the hardest parts of living abroad. The good news: you can still be the first to wish them, with a cake, flowers and balloons at their door in Lahore, even if you’re in Dubai, London, Toronto or Riyadh. Here’s how to plan it, step by step.
1. Decide what kind of surprise you want
- A simple cake and roses, from Rs 7,000
- A full surprise with a teddy, balloons and a snack box
- A midnight surprise that arrives right at 12 am on their birthday
- A fully custom gift built around their favourite things
Browse our ready gift packages for ideas. Every one can be customized.
2. Choose same-day or midnight delivery
Midnight surprises are the most popular for birthdays, because your gift is the first thing they see. Midnight means 12 am Pakistan time: that’s 11 pm in the UAE, 10 pm in Saudi Arabia, 7 or 8 pm in the UK, and the afternoon before in the USA and Canada. Need it today? Same-day delivery can often reach them in about 3 hours.
3. Share the details on WhatsApp
Send the delivery area in Lahore, the date and time, your budget, and the name for the cake or card. Tohfa.pk replies quickly, even across time zones.
4. Pay from abroad
Pay a small advance by bank transfer or through Remitly, Western Union or MoneyGram. The balance is paid after you approve the photo.
5. Approve a real photo before delivery
You see the finished gift before it leaves, so you know exactly what your loved one will receive.
6. Be part of the moment
Ask for a delivery photo or video. Many families share the moment they open the door, so you can feel close from miles away.
