The third week of August is Friendship Week. It’s the time to celebrate friends near and far by letting them know how much you appreciate them. And, you can find the time to get together or send a special gift.
This week also has some other special days. On August 21st, it’s Senior Citizen’s Day. Then, on August 25th, it’s Kiss and Make Up Day. Both are days to be thoughtful and think of other people in your life.
Here are some great gift ideas to celebrate all three special events:
FLOWERS THAT EMPOWER
A great idea is to give a special flower gift that also pays back to the community. Our Flowers That Empower program is a philanthropic effort to help local organizations in San Diego. Each month we offer a new seasonal arrangement and then donate 20% of each arrangement that is sold to a local non-profit Each arrangement comes in three different sizes and available for delivery throughout San Diego and most of the country.
Recently, we partnered with Reality Changers. This San Diego non-profit transforms lives by providing youth from disadvantaged backgrounds with the academic support, financial assistance, and leadership training to become college graduates. You can learn more at RealityChangers.org
GREAT GERBERA DAISIES
A cheerful way to celebrate friendship or give someone a reason to smile is this bright variety of colorful gerbera daisies, which are delivered in a contemporary clay vase.
SUNFLOWER SIMPLICITY

SUCCULENT GARDEN
