Do’s and Don’ts When Sending Christmas Flower Gifts

Now’s the most wonderful time of the year and for sure you’ve been busy looking for the most wonderful gifts. You don’t have to scour every store, though, to find a beautiful and meaningful gift. Just look around and see what Mother Nature has to offer. The Yuletide season is the perfect time to make the most of the power of flowers. Use a bloom’s natural charm and unique language to help you spread love and holiday cheer. 

We’ve gathered a few tips to make this year’s flower gift-giving more efficient, economical, and meaningful for you. Read on and find out what you should (and shouldn’t) do when sending Christmas flower gifts. 

Do Shop Early

Take advantage of the advance-ordering option offered by many online florists. This way, you can secure a delivery slot on your preferred schedule, and you won’t forget to send a gift at the right time. Buying flowers in advance from online florists makes gift shopping more convenient. No need to line up, drive, or go through crowds of other shoppers. Just use your smartphone or computer and arrange a flower delivery in just a few mouse clicks or swipes. 

Do Add an Extra

Make your flower gift a bit more thoughtful by adding a non-floral gift as an extra. An elegant vase is a good choice. A box of chocolates or a basket of holiday treats are also excellent choices. You can be more purposeful in your extra gift and add a non-tangible present like a concert ticket, a spa treatment, or a surprise trip. 

Do make sure you have the correct address. Given the perishable nature of fresh flowers, it’s very important that you get the delivery address right. Ensuring you have the correct delivery address also saves you from the hassle of ordering and paying again and getting another delivery schedule. You will be held accountable for entering the wrong address and will likely be asked to pay again for another order and shipping. 

Don’t Send The Same Gift to Everyone

Do know your recipient. Personalisation is important in gift-giving. It shows that you care and that you value the connection that you have. What’s nice about fresh flowers as gifts is that they’re available in thousands of styles and designs so there’s one that will be perfect for every loved one on your list. You can pick based on the recipient’s favourite flowers or favourite colour. You can also get a floral arrangement based on the style and how it mirrors the recipient’s personality. If your loved one likes a traditional Christmas arrangement, get a floral ensemble in bright red flowers like roses or amaryllis mixed with evergreens. 

Don’t forget to include a note or message on a Christmas card for a floral gift that will truly speak to the recipient’s heart.
