Top 5 Reasons to Give Flowers as a Gift

-
Let's face it, sometimes deciding on a gift can be down right difficult. With so many options, it's easy to
become confused so that's why I have come up some awesome reasons to give the gift of Fresh Flowers!

Top 5 Reasons to Give Flowers as a Gift:

  1. We all have times when we need a gift for someone that we don't know all that well. Perhaps it's a coworker that is having a birthday at the office. Flowers are the perfect choice because everyone loves getting flowers. 92% of women can remember the last time they received flowers as a gift. Studies actually show that people who are surrounded by flowers at work are more productive. How's that for getting a co-worker to pull their weight, while making you memorable to them. 
  2. It's time to come clean. Sometimes you forget an important occasion like a birthday or anniversary, right? When you have no time to plan and need something fast ~ flowers to the rescue. Not only can they be delivered within a matter of hours (when ordered through your local florist, of course) but you will be thought of as "caring, thoughtful and emotionally intelligent" according to a Rutger's Study. That is some powerful stuff for a last minute gift option, wouldn't you say?
  3. Buying a gift for those who have it all can be hard. Grandma, we love her but she sure does not need anything. Receiving flowers make people feel special. Don't believe me? Well, it's true and a study done by the Society of American Florist proves it. Who wouldn't want to receive a gift that lifts their mood? For those who already have everything, flowers are the perfect affordable gift. 
  4. Men are so hard to buy for right? You think you can't send them a floral gift then think again. Men love getting flowers for the same reason they love to send them, to be recognized. Everyone like to feel special, even the guys in our life! 
  5. You deserve it, right? Why wait for someone to buy flowers for you when you can treat yourself now and again. Women often feel guilty about buying flowers for the home while men feel like it's a natural part of celebrating the weekend. Guys have the right idea! Flowers may not last forever but that is part of the fun. For a very modest cost, we can have a different color and/or fragrance in our home every week. Don't wait for someone to give you the gift of flowers, give them to yourself!

It's amazing what you can do with 12 carnations and a little bit of creativity. Our Floral Designer Rocio loves making puppy arrangements so here she shares her tips with you! Here's what you will need ~ 12 full size carnations, floral glue, floral tape, a floral container, 1/3 of a block of floral foam and some assorted greenery.  First take your wet floral foam and tape it securely into your floral container.  Slowly start adding the 12 carnations starting with the top to form the head, the ears, the face and the 2 front legs.   Keep going, adding carnations but only using 12 total!  Now he has his 2 front legs, sitting over the edge of the container.  Using the floral glue, add the eyes and the nose.

Never heard of a Grave Blanket? Don't worry, your probably aren't alone. Here in the north east is customary to have a lovely "blanket" made from ever greens and winter accents to be placed on the grave of a loved one.  It's just a nice remembrance during the holiday season to make the graveside look a bit more decorated and festive.  According to Ask.com   "A  Grave blankets are a type of flower design that is used to decorate graves. They are made in a variety of sizes and styles, for example, standard, cascading, traditional, and double wide. Each of these styles has a specific design and flower capacity .
