I got lots of bulblets from an Asiatic lily, I put them in a deep window type planter, you know the long ones on feet, about 8" deep and a similar width, 30" or so long. I planted them deep in a leafy compost mix with gritty free draining river soil and some moss peat mixed in. Left them 2 and 1/2 years in semi-shaded spot, planted in spring and they flowered that year less than 3 years on. I also had another lot of bulbets from those when I took them out of the planter, so filled it up again!

If you move these small bulbs and put in the ground they are likely to get dry and being small will die, the clue is nursery care until they are bigger. If you can send them in a moist medium and the recipient can plant them up and let them grow first it might be successful, but any drying will likely affect them.
