Flowers are a great gift. Whether you're doing one of the standard, traditional flower days, or just want to do something special for someone you care about, giving the gift of flowers makes it easy. While we know all of the traditional days like Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, there are lots of other occasions you can give flowers for: 1. Birthdays are great days for flowers. Instead of trying to hassle with finding yet another birthday present they may like, why not get some flowers that you know they'll like. Saves time and effort and probably money too. 2. While Mother's Day is a given, there are also other "made up" holidays like Grandmother's Day, etc. Those are still great opportunities to show someone you care by sending them flowers. 3. Secretaries Day and Bosses Day are also great opportunities to show those we work with that we appreciate them. 4. Christmas is another holiday where flowers aren't really considered a standard gift, so why not stray off the beaten path a bit and send flowers. 5. While Valentine's Day and anniversaries are the "standard" dates to give flowers, why not just pick a random day out of the blue and send your spouse some flowers They'll be surprised and probably will ask what you've done that you needed to give flowers for. 6. Graduation from high school or college is a great time to give flowers. Not only do you give the graduate something to show you're thinking of them on that special day, but it shows them how proud you are of them. 7. Congratulations on the new ______. You can fill in the blank with "baby" or "job" or "promotion" or any number of words that show the recipient that you're happy for them. sympathy flowers 8.
