Gratitude in Full Bloom: When to Send Stems of Appreication


Life’s full of little (and big!) moments to be grateful for, and there’s always someone who deserves a “thank you.” Whether it’s the friend who hosted the best Thanksgiving ever or the family member who is always making your life easier with their random acts of kindness, a fresh bouquet is a beautiful way to express your appreciation. At Robertson’s Flowers, the top florist in Philadelphia, we’ve got the best gratitude blooms that say it all—and then some!

Host & Hostess Gifts

If you’re heading to a Thanksgiving, Christmas, or holiday get-together, don’t just show up with an empty stomach (or empty-handed!)—show up with a floral centerpiece! Flowers are the ideal host gift, making the recipient feel like the holiday hero they truly are! Chrysanthemums are perfect for Thanksgiving, bringing those rich, warm hues that match the cozy fall vibe (think glowing pumpkin pies and crunchy autumn leaves). Anthuriums are a thoughtful choice, too, since they symbolize hospitality! (Your host will totally appreciate the gesture.) And when it comes to cheerful winter holidays, you can’t beat poinsettias. Their vibrant red foliage practically sings, “Deck the Halls!”

Mentors Who Make a Difference

Teachers and mentors, even if they’re family, deserve major love for helping you crush your goals. Honestly, that moment of proudly walking across the graduation stage wouldn’t have been possible without them. They’re the ones who provide the tools, wisdom, and encouragement to figure out the next steps in life. Show your gratitude for their endless support with irises! They symbolize wisdom and knowledge. And for a little extra thank-you sweetness, pink roses represent appreciation and positive vibes.

Being There in Pivotal Moments

The family and friends who stand by us through every twist and turn life throws at us are total heroes! They bring comfort, laughter, and advice whenever we need it (even if we don’t know it yet). When it’s time to say, “I’m so thankful for you,” hydrangeas are a beautiful way to show your love. Their soft, full petals give off major gratitude vibes. Snapdragons are another cute and meaningful pick! They’re a symbol of strength and grace, which is so perfect for celebrating the people who help us stay strong through life’s ups and downs.

Going Above and Beyond

When they go above and beyond, and you’re feeling all the feels, the best way to thank them is with bright, sunny yellow flowers! Yellow lilies are like rays of sunshine—bright, joyful, and full of gratitude for those friends who go the extra mile. You cannot sleep on sunflowers! They’re the ultimate symbol of positivity and happiness, standing tall just like the people who never stop surprising you with their kindness.

Thanking Bosses and Coworkers

You totally smashed that big presentation as a team, and now, it’s time to level up the gratitude game. Saying “thank you” with fresh blooms in the workplace not only boosts the team spirit but adds some office flair, too! (Great for more motivation and inspiration.) Orchids are the floral icons of elegance, charm, and thoughtfulness. Succulents are another office favorite. They’re all about strength, resilience, and selflessness, just like the teamwork that got you here.

Fun, fresh, and full of positivity, flowers hit all the right notes when you’re feeling thankful. Let Robertson’s Flowers help you show your gratitude with a custom gift for the ones who matter most.
