How to Gift Flowers Like a Pro This Holiday Season
Gifting flowers is a timeless way to share joy, gratitude, and love, especially during the holidays. But if you’re thinking beyond poinsettias and want to surprise someone with something a bit more thoughtful or unexpected, Lloyd’s Florist is here to guide you.
With decades of floral artistry and heartfelt service behind us, we know how to help you create floral gifts that truly speak to the season and the person receiving them. Here’s how to gift flowers like a pro this holiday season.
Start with the Sentiment
Ask yourself: what do you want the flowers to say?
“Thank you for hosting” – Go for low-profile, lush centerpieces or a festive vase arrangement.
“Thinking of you” – Choose soft winter whites, textured greens, and gentle blooms like roses, amaryllis, or ranunculus.
“Happy Holidays” – Try rich reds, gold accents, and evergreens in a keepsake container or seasonal lantern.
“You deserve some joy” – Bright, cheerful tones and unique winter elements can lift the spirit beautifully.
We’ll help you match the message to the arrangement.
Choose Seasonal, Not Standard
Poinsettias are lovely, but there’s a whole winter garden of beauty to explore:
Paperwhites and amaryllis for elegance
Evergreen mixes with pinecones and berries
Winter roses and hydrangeas in icy whites or blush tones
Dried floral elements for a modern twist
Silver brunia, seeded eucalyptus, and thistle for texture and flair
Ask for arrangements that feature these blooms for a gift that stands apart.
Add a Personal Touch
At Lloyd’s, we love helping you make floral gifts personal. Here’s how:
Add a keepsake: A holiday mug, lantern, or ceramic container they can reuse
Include a gift: Locally made chocolates, candles, or custom wood items
Customize the color palette: Reflect their home décor, favorite colors, or a shared memory
Even your card message can add magic. We’re always happy to help you write something meaningful.
Think Outside the Vase
Floral gifts don’t always have to be in a vase. Consider:
Holiday wreaths – Fresh, fragrant, and designed to last through the season
Mini centerpiece gifts – Perfect for desks, nightstands, or side tables
Wrapped bouquets – For the flower lover who loves to arrange their own
Floral gift boxes – A curated experience with flowers, treats, and treasures inside
These options are ideal for neighbors, coworkers, or those who “have everything.”
