“Oh, they’ll die eventually” and “Ah, they’re such a pain to look after” are just some of the ridiculous things spouted by naysayers about receiving flowers as a gift. But we know the truth: there’s nothing like a bit of flower power to brighten up one’s day. Which begs the question; what is the perfect style for them to be presented in?
While there is really no perfect style, tradition tells us to play it safe with bouquets, although that gets a little boring after awhile. So how do you spice things up? How do you make the age-old practice of flower giving exciting again? Well, there’s one answer and it’s boxes.
Yep, that’s right. You read correctly. Boxed flower arrangements are the new black of the botanical world, and style isn’t the only benefit. For one, a flower arrangement is a ready-made gift and the recipient doesn’t need to re-cut the flower and greenery stems each day.
Flower arrangements also make great centrepieces for end tables, while containers do not need to be cleaned. All you need is a regular water top up, and you’re all set to go. And they just look absolutely stunning too. We mean, take a look at this Christmas set from Gift Flowers called The North Pole ($120).
It contains red and white roses, red hyperlcums, and Christmas tree leaves, and along with its black box, is simply gorgeous. The same goes for the Frostbite set ($150), which comprises of white roses, silver leaves, blueberries, and Christmas tree leaves – talk about festive.
And since it is the season of giving, we’ll be giving away both The North Pole and Frostbite set – just head on over to our Facebook page for participation details.
