Find Your Local Florist:Everything you want to know about flowers!
It’s a brand new year. As we reflect on 2017 and make plans for 2018, remember that there are many occasions in life to celebrate. Each month we like to give our readers five reasons to send flowers to those they love. Sometimes these are holidays that have been celebrated for hundreds of years. Other times they are new, unconventional holidays that you may have never heard of. Whatever the occasion, it is the meaning behind the flowers that truly matters. [Read more…]
March marks the beginning of Spring. A time for new beginnings and creating new memories. Whether you are sending flowers for St. Patrick’s Day, or just because, we have a card message that will make your gift even more memorable. [Read more…]
Almost everybody enjoys receiving gifts. It’s a natural way to brighten someone’s day when they are feeling down. What most people don’t realize, giving feels as good, if not better than, receiving.
The concept of paying it forward is nothing new. Most of us have even participated. That’s what National Give Something Away Day is all about. Gather up those old clothes in your closet and take them to a charity. Leave a little something in your mailbox for the mail carrier. It doesn’t have to be anything too fancy.
Hello Sunshine Arrangement
Today is also a great reason to give flowers. Stop by and see your local florist. Buy a bouquet (or two) of daisies, roses, or whatever your florist has available. Now you have everything you need to brighten multiple people’s day! Walk down the street or visit local businesses, and give them away, one-by-one. If you have a few left, stop in at a hospital or nursing home and leave them for the employees or residents. A simple thank you and a pretty bloom can make a big difference. It’s that easy!
Celebrate National Give Something Away Day by paying it forward with flowers!
We all love receiving flowers, but when is the last time you thought about sending some? A special occasion isn’t necessary to give a gift. Here are five great reasons to send flowers just because!
1. To cheer someone up
When a close friend or family member is going through a difficult season in life, it’s hard to know what to say and do. Sending a beautiful arrangement of flowers is a great way to lift spirits and show your concern.
Don’t wait for a birthday or special occasion to send your girl flowers. Do it now. Send flowers today. Tomorrow. Anytime!
You’ll Be So Glad You Sent Flowers!
Flowers sent for no reason other than “I was thinking of you today” mean so much more because they are completely unexpected. While any girl is excited to receive an arrangement on a holiday, there is nothing like the surprise of flowers on a random Monday to brighten her day.
It’s So Easy To Start Sparks
With no hassle at all, you can order flowers to be delivered to your lovely lady. Doesn’t matter if she is at work, school or home. There is always a local florist in your town that can make deliveries.
With so few words, you can give her the thrill and rush of passion that comes from knowing you are admired, loved, treasured and appreciated.
Sending Flowers “Just Because” can mean:
Did you know yellow roses mean friendship? What better way to say “Congratulations,” “Thinking of you,” or “Feel better soon,” than by sending yellow roses to a friend?
Yellow is the color of summer, sunshine, and lemonade. It is a cheery color and has the power to lift us up on dreary days. Surprise your Best Friend Forever (BFF) today by sending a bouquet of yellow roses. It could be that they need a pick me up, or maybe just because they’re your friend, either way it’s a surprise sure to knock their socks off.
Friends are such important pieces in our life’s puzzle; what would you do without them by your side? They’ve been with you through thick and thin, isn’t it time you show how much you care?
Remember, always always always use a verified, local florist when sending flowers. If you don’t know yours, use FSN’s handy florist finder to find a local flower shop today.
Not only is tomorrow the winter solstice, it could be the very last on earth, that is if you believe the ancient Mayan calendar. If tomorrow really is your last day on earth, maybe you should show the one you love just how much she means to you! (Whether it ends or not, it’s a good idea!!)
The Mayans were masters of astronomy. They mapped out stars and planets much like their European counterparts. They created and kept three separate, but interlocking calendars. The “long calendar” ends on Dec. 21, 2012. This calendar began on August 11, 3114 B.C. and ends tomorrow. Whether you believe the end is upon us or not, you have to admit it’s a day worth observing.
What does NASA have to say about all of this?
“The world will not end in 2012. Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years, and credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012.”
No matter what you believe, we will find out the truth tomorrow… Why not send your sweetheart a favorite arrangement of flowers, just in case?
Today’s a very special day — 12/12/12! This unique date is a once in a lifetime event, as it only happens once every 100 years! Isn’t that enough reason to celebrate?

Be sure to contact your local florist when you ask for a dozen roses!

Because they were sent from you and your family, get well soon flowers are an instant reminder that the sick friend is well-loved and their friends want them to get better.

Believe it or not, flowers have healing powers. Think about it scientifically: color is simply light, and light is energy, that means color = energy! Color is simply light vibrating at different frequencies, and just like food, our bodies need light (the sunshine vitamin) to grow and get better. Colors are known to be therapeutic, this is called, chromotherapy. There are colors for relaxation, spirituality, peace, warmth, energy, happiness. Try sending a monochromatic (one color) bouquet of flowers to your friend feeling under the weather, or mix the colors to create your own chromotherapy arrangement.
