Flowers make a great gift because they can mean different things for different occasions or circumstances. For example, a bouquet of blooms can signal romance, appreciation, gratitude and celebration. However, equally the gift of flowers can be a touching and respectful way to extend sympathy and condolences or mark an occasion of gravitas.
Indeed, the most common reasons for ordering flowers online include:
Birthdays and anniversaries
Newborn baby, housewarming and other congratulatory gifts
Thank you
Romance (especially engagements and Valentine’s Day!)
Calendar events (Mother’s Day, Christmas)
Funerals, sickness or sympathy
Reason aside, flowers are one of the most accommodating and flexible gift ideas in other ways. For instance, the seemingly infinite choice of colour and texture means you surely will find something to please everyone. If you don’t know the recipient very well, you can play it safe with a reasonably neutral, albeit every bit exquisite, bouquet.
