5 Reasons to send flowers to people you love Blog

There's hardly anything sweeter than receiving flowers from a friend or loved one, especially when it's "just because." Not only are they a beautiful reminder of friendship and love, they're a colorful addition to any room in your home or office.

Not sure when to send flowers? Here are five different occasions totally worthy of giving the gift of flowers.

• Birthdays

Tulips only last approximately seven days, but they're sure to be gorgeous and full of life on your loved one's birthday.

• Anniversaries

• Thank You

Most people will simply send a thank you card in the mail (or plan to send a thank you card in the mail and then totally forget), but if a gift really means something special to you, a flower delivery should be in order. Not only is it a beautiful gift, you can add a nice thank you note in the bouquet you choose.

• Promotion at Work

You local flower shops may be able to include a customized congratulatory note as well.

• Just Because

There's never a bad time to send flowers to someone you care about. Whether you were just thinking about them or want to make sure they have a great day, flowers are the perfect way to brighten up any ordinary week.
