8 Unexpected Occasions When Sending Flowers Is A Great Idea

For most of us, sending flowers is our go-to for certain celebrations, such as birthdays or anniversaries. But the joy of giving and receiving flowers shouldn’t be limited to a specific day on the calendar. There are many occasions when surprising someone with flowers will brighten their day and make you feel good, too.

Here are eight unexpected and amazing reasons to send a bouquet of flowers to someone special.

1. To Wish Them Good Luck

When they could use some encouragement and well-wishes as they start a new job — or they take on a new challenge in their work or personal life — a bouquet of lovely blooms will let them know you’re rooting for them. The Autumn Glow Bouquet is a stunning gift that will show you support them on their journey. The bouquet includes vibrant orange gerbera daisies, snapdragons, roses, Peruvian lilies and hydrangea.

2. To Reconnect With An Old Friend

When schedules are packed and connecting with your best friend isn’t always possible, there’s nothing better than sending a bouquet of flowers to just say “hi” and let them know you’re thinking of them. The Fiesta Bouquet is a reminder that there will be more celebrations to come. The bouquet includes a bold mix of vibrant flowers including roses, mini roses, gerbera daisies, stock and carnations.

3. To Celebrate A “Uniquely Them” Event

The best gifts come from the heart. It doesn’t matter what the occasion may be; if your gift is thoughtful, your friends and loved ones will think it’s special. Maybe you have a friend who thinks Taco Tuesday is a reason to celebrate. Or maybe they take special pleasure in binge watching a certain TV show. In honor of their uniquely special day, send them a bouquet of flowers to make it even more fun. The Smiles & Sunshine Bouquet will add a rainbow of color to their home and make them feel cherished for who they are. The bouquet features an assortment of roses and alstroemeria inside a glass vase.

4. To Inspire Creativity

If they are in need of inspiration and can use some added cheer to their day, send them a gift box filled with farm-fresh flowers ready for their personal touch. Consider having a flower arranging session with your friend — either in person or virtual — and see how you bring your own individual styles to your designs while catching up on life. The Wild Autumn Bouquet blends vibrant colors and textures, making it a great choice for an arrangement. The bouquet includes roses, scabiosa and eucalyptus.

5. To Keep Traditions Alive

Whether you want to acknowledge that time you took a girls trip to the mountains, a family camping trip where it rained the entire time or Sunday dinners where you dined on Mom’s best cooking, sending a “just because” bouquet of flowers will serve as a warm reminder of the good times you shared. You can start your own new tradition while strengthening your bond. The stunning Crisp & Bright Bouquet will make a heartfelt statement. The arrangement includes carnations, Peruvian lilies, hydrangeas and daisies.

6. To Recognize The Good They Do

For the friends and neighbors who go out of their way to help others — whether they regularly volunteer or are always willing to lend a helping hand — surprise them with an unexpected bouquet of flowers. Show them just how much their kindness is appreciated. The Harvest Sunflower Basket is as bright and cheery as they are. The bouquet is a delightful mix of roses, sunflowers and daisies inside a natural woven basket.

7. To Celebrate Pet Parents

Whether they’ve recently adopted a pet or have had many furry companions over the years, sending a pet-loving friend a bouquet of flowers will be a pleasant surprise. This is a fun way to acknowledge their love and devotion for their fur babies. The Truly Stunning Bouquet blends jewel-toned blooms for an exquisite display. The bouquet includes roses, mini roses and lilies.

8. To Welcome Them Home

Whether they were off enjoying a peaceful vacation or away on a work trip, a lovely bouquet of flowers will let them know they were missed and you’re happy they’re back. The Cottage Garden Bouquet is a vibrant mix of blooms including roses, hydrangeas, sunflowers and eucalyptus. The bouquet will send them a reminder that there truly is no place like home.
