Get Ready for Labor Day Festivities with Flowers and Gifts

For decades, the first Monday of September has been designated as Labor Day. It's a day to celebrate the American worker and the contributions they make to our local and national economies. For many, it's also a three-day weekend and the official end to summer. While some don't have to work on Labor Day, there are many that continue to work to keep retail and service businesses open. We thank everyone for their hard work, including our own talented team at our San Diego flower shops. Here are some ideas for what you can do with flowers on Labor Day. If you are a business owner, send your team members some flowers to let them know how much you appreciate them. You may even be able to add a special gift card for each team member for something they personally enjoy. These individual touches can deepen your message of appreciation for their hard work. We've also got some incredible gift crates that include flowers and other special items. This is a nice way to show those special workers just how much you rely on them and value their efforts. You might also do the same for a friend, colleague, neighbor or family member who you know works hard. This is especially true of our front-line workers like the health care professionals who continue to work tirelessly for those in need. Instead of gifting flowers on Labor Day, you may be planning some type of event for Labor Day, including for your workers, your neighbors, or your family and friends, such as a barbecue, picnic, or block party. Our cube and petite arrangements are perfect centerpieces for these type of Labor Day events. Each centerpiece can be raffled off or won through [...]

Sending Flowers is the Best Way to Make Someone’s Day

Making someone else's day feels good. You know you've made someone happy or cheered up a friend or loved one on a tough day. There are many more days to do this in August tied to special days that may inspire you to keep going on this worthwhile effort well past a specific special day. Beyond National Smile Week that we celebrated last week, there are some other special days to add to the calendar. These include Senior Citizen Day on August 21st, Kiss and Make Up Day on August 25th, and Just Because Day on August 27th. This gives you three more opportunities to show others around you that you are thinking of them, especially in times that continue to be challenging or alienating. Even if you cannot spend a lot of time with those around you due to your own hectic schedules or ongoing concern over health issues, you can still plan on calling them, sending a text, or delivering a special gift like flowers to surprise and delight them on these special days. Our San Diego flower shops, including those in El Cajon and La Mesa, and our website are ready to help you surprise those around you with the gift of flowers. This includes our bestsellers collection where you can find a wide range of stunning floral designs that are favorites among our other customers in San Diego. However, we have many other floral options to choose from as well. This includes searching our website by flower type or selecting another category, such as our petite collections or our luxury collection. If you cannot find something in one of those San Diego-inspired flower collections, you  an also opt for our custom floral design services where our floral [...]

Things You Can Do to Spread Joy During National Smile Week

We can all agree that the last year and a half has been challenging and stressful in so many ways. However, we also know that it is our close circle of friends and family as well as the kindness of strangers that have been the key to getting through it all. This week is National Smile Week. It was created many years before COVID-19 as a way to encourage kindness and thoughtfulness in a way that would hopefully go viral in a good way! Now more than ever, participating in National Smile Week is a good way to help others as the stress and concern over health and wellness continue for those of all ages. Here, in San Diego, we want to make the most of this week and pay it forward in the weeks to come so we can all maintain a positive frame of mind. Our team at our San Diego flower shops, including those in La Mesa and El Cajon, shared their thoughts about what we can all do during National Smile Week to focus on positive mental health for all here in San Diego and around the country. Make a concerted effort to smile more. It will rub off on others, making them feel good and perhaps inspiring them to smile more, too. While we may have to wear masks in certain places, which means not everyone will see us smile, we can still smile with our eyes and with our voices. Think of what you can do for others, large or small. It can be holding the door for someone, helping them with errands or tasks around the house, participating in volunteer work, or buying something for those in need like school supplies or clothes, groceries, [...]

August is Romance Awareness Month

Romance never dies, especially if you make it a priority in your life and your relationship. With everything that is going on in work and life, it may seem like quite a challenge to find room for romance. However, the month of August is here to remind you that it's a good time to start now. That's because it's National Romance Awareness Month. Here, in San Diego, there are many ways to celebrate Romance Awareness Month. After all, we live in one of the beautiful cities in the world, and it offers many romantic spots -- from the mountains to the beaches and everywhere in-between. Our San Diego flower shop has some ideas that might help you add more romance into your life and relationship this month and in the future: Picnics for Two With so many beautiful locales throughout San Diego, hire a local picnic company provider, pick up some takeout, or create your own picnic basket and head to a stunning park like Balboa Park or go to one of many beaches like La Jolla Shores Beach. This provides a way to enjoy each other's company and the romantic surroundings. San Diego Bay Cruise San Diego Bay has stunning views. You can rent a boat or reserve a dinner/sunset cruise on the water. If you are not a big boat person, you can also enjoy an incredible meal at one of many restaurants that dot the San Diego bay and inlets. Many have views of downtown San Diego in the background. Nature Calls Take a hike in Torrey Pines State Reserve or visit the nearby mountains for similar hiking trails. If you are more city and less wilderness, even a day at the San Diego Safari Park or Zoo [...]
