Beautiful fresh flowers are one of the best ways to lift someone's spirits and let them know you're thinking of them. Make sure to consider them anytime you encounter a flower giving occasion, such as these seven situations.
1. In the Hospital: Anytime someone is in the hospital, it's one of the occasions to give flowers. A hospital room feels sterile and unfamiliar, and flowers are one of the best ways to warm it up. Send the flowers with a get well note, and if you don't want to send them to the hospital, consider waiting until the person heads back home.
2. Just Moved: Flowers make a great housewarming gift because they make a new space feel more familiar. Either take them to their housewarming party or make time to take a meal over and bring the flowers with you.
3. Holiday for a Woman: Any holiday where the woman is being singled out is a good time to give her flowers. Whether it's her birthday, mother's day, grandmother's day, secretary's day, teacher's day, or valentine's day, if she qualifies as one of the people who is honored on that day, she would love to receive a bouquet of flowers.
4. Death of Family Member or Friend: Flowers are one of the best sympathy gifts when someone experiences the death of a family member or friend. Instead of giving cut flowers, which will die shortly, consider giving an easy-care potted plant. Flowers like this gives them the feeling that's a lot more uplifting and alive.
5. Dinner Invitation: When someone invites you over for dinner, it's never wrong to bring a bouquet of flowers. When you arrive, consider asking the hostess if she has a vase you can arrange them in right away, and if she'll let you, do the work so she doesn't have to worry about it.
6. In a Relationship: Guys should keep in mind that giving their wife or girlfriend flowers is always appropriate. They don't need to wait for special occasions to give flowers, but can just offer them as a surprise gift whenever they feel like it. Women often appreciate these even more than getting flowers on special occasions.
7. Graduation: Congratulate a graduate with a bouquet of flowers on the big day. These are just a small token of your pride in the graduate's hard work over the past several years.
Whatever the flower giving occasion is, the recipient is sure to appreciate your thoughtfulness!
