Holiday Shopping Days at Your San Diego Florist

We're ready to welcome you and all of our other customers at each of our San Diego flower shop locations today and through next week to celebrate those special holiday shopping days known as Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday. Even during the busy Thanksgiving period, our floral design team and customer service specialists were preparing for the holiday season with a new Christmas flower and gift collection. We are already accepting orders for Christmas flowers, Hanukkah flowers, and Kwanzaa flowers. Additionally, we are already working with people and companies for upcoming winter weddings, holiday parties, and Christmas events. To celebrate these special holiday shopping days and the upcoming holidays, we've already put items in our Christmas collection on sale while supplies last. That includes Christmas centerpieces, Christmas flower arrangements, garlands, wreaths, poinsettia plants in both red and white, and Christmas lilies. We are excited to add many new floral designs to this year's holiday collection that you can see online as well as in our San Diego florist locations. You can also choose to work with our floral design team on custom Christmas flowers or other custom holiday decor. When you stop in to support your local San Diego small business this weekend, you can also schedule an appointment to meet with the team to create something magical for your home, business, or upcoming event. Additionally, we have more seasonal gifts, decor, and collectibles in our store as well as numerous products from local San Diego artisans that make for unique gifts this holiday season.
