These personalized gifts create the opportunity for you to show your dad exactly how you feel about him! You can do this with both flowers and gift baskets — both are available from your local florist. Check out these links below for LOTS of great ideas:

Honor Your Hero
May is definitely the month for honoring American military heroes. With two holidays that focus on those that serve our country, you have twice the opportunity to show your love for the red, white and blue this month. Send fresh flowers to service members and their families to express your appreciation of their hard work and sacrifice.
Armed Forces Day – May 18th
Memorial Day – May 27th
As Armed Forces Day celebrates active military and Memorial Day honors the fallen, those that have retired from the military have their own special day to be remembered as well. Veteran’s Day is November 11th.
Give thanks to our military members for their patriotic service and honor them with beautiful flowers from a real local florist.
