Shane , first of all it's too late for the CArd to be send . It would take between twelve and fourteen day's to get there . About the Gift , send her Flower's through the Chnlove Co . , most of the time she will have them in two day's . Since chinese Men rarely give their Lady's flower's , you got a win-win situation here . You can tell your Girl about the CArd and send it off anyway's or do a overnight thing and pay $30 or so for the Card to get there in time . Do the Flower's and write a note with it , which they will deliver with the flower's .

First, it takes longer then 10 days for it to get there. Secondly, she might not even give a mention to it when she does get it so be prepared for it. It's not a rejection thing, Birthday cards and such are a western thing and not looked upon like here. Being two letters in? just a happy birthday in the EMF wiii be good enough..

Flowers, a man can never go wrong with flowers, - http://www.chinaroses.com
I've used them twice with no problems, you can even get them to take a pic of your girl receiving them and they'll send that to you afterwards, you also get to write a note thats delivered with the flowers.
A small bunch at this time would be appropriate.
Actually, Arnold is right, do it though chnlove - that way you dont need to ask her address, which after two emfs might be considered too forward.

I had sent flowers on Valentines day to her and her daughter. I said something like she deserves flowers too. I received hardly an acknowledgment about them at the time. I was sort of disappointed. However, a few months later she tells me that is the reason that she even came to see me. When I first met her in person I took flowers and candy. She barely acknowledged them. There again I find out later that was one of the reasons she agreed to meet me the next day and the rest is history. I never found that part out until a week or two ago and we have been engaged for 2 months. So no matter what the response at the time just know it does help.

Just like Arnold said...Chinese men rarely send flowers. Zhifang was 30 when she received her first flowers from a man. Lucky for me, i was the man that sent them.
Also, when i sent them through chnlove, it took under 24 hours for her to get them.
