Putting Others First on Random Act of Kindness Day

Did you know that there is actually a special day known as Random Act of Kindness Day? It’s on February 17th each year and it serves as a reminder just what kindness can mean for someone else. Not to mention it feels pretty good to know that you made someone else smile with your words or actions. Whether it is someone you know or a complete stranger, take the time this day to focus on kindness for others. Even smiling at others and saying “hello” as you pass or “good morning” is a great way to start. Of course, picking up the coffee for the person behind or in front of you at the coffee shop isn’t a bad idea either. Then, there are flowers. Yes, we believe flowers are a great way to show kindness. Their sublime beauty and the fact that not many people treat themselves to such a beautiful item is the perfect reason to consider a bouquet or flower arrangement for one or more people on Random Act of Kindness Day. You’ll want to check out the arrival of spring flowers, including tulips, which can add a special touch with many pastel and bold color options. Of course, our collection of orchids and roses are hard to beat! Many of our flower arrangements and bouquets are also on sale right now while supplies last, which provides even more motivation to grab some gorgeous flowers to share with others and brighten their day! Of course, besides flowers, we also have other great gift ideas. There are green plants, succulent plants, garden baskets, balloons, greeting cards, chocolates and gift baskets. All of these also can show your kindness and generosity to others on this special day. Remember that you [...]

Flowers & Gifts for July Special Days

While you may have your own special days this month, including birthdays or anniversaries, to celebrate, there may be a few more that you didn’t realize come this month. Here are three special days related to family that you may want to consider for a flower arrangement, plant, or gift. Cousin’s Day Celebrate all your cousins on this day. It is celebrated on July 24th and is a way to recognize that special family bond that you have that feels like sisters and brothers but probably without the fights! As special members of the family they are often close in age to you so there is more in common with each other to enjoy holidays or vacations together. Aunt & Uncle Day Celebrate your parents’ siblings on July 26th. They are very often an extra set of parents for you or a mentor to go to when you couldn’t talk to your parents. They are often older around your parents’ age and can provide great advice with their knowledge and experience. Father-in-Law Day Celebrate your bonus dad on July 30th with a special gift of thanks for all that they did to raise your spouse to be a great partner. Our Gift Collection To help you celebrate any or all of these days, you can look to our San Diego flower shops and online floral store to deliver a wide array of fresh flower bouquets, flower arrangements, plants, and gifts. Our stores also have other items like balloons and greeting cards that complete a special gift.

The Proper Gift for a Holiday Host or Holiday Hostess

Chances are this holiday season you will find yourself at a holiday party or two -- maybe more. These parties, whether mature and classy or with endings that mirror a crazy night, had a host or hostess that put a lot of thought and effort into the event. Whether it is a group or individual who slaved away for hours in an attempt to make everything perfect and right at their holiday party, if you have already gone or have yet to go, then be sure to find a way to thank them properly. There are many ways to do this though most typically one brings a gift of sorts to the party for the host or hostess. At Allen’s Flowers and Plants, we have a few of the perfect gifts in mind. Selecting the Right Gift You don’t want to come off wrong when giving a gift to a host or hostess. For the hostess, the gift should not be intimate but more of something along the lines of casual. We’ve put together a few good host or hostess gift ideas below to make it a bit easier for you: Wine is a fine gift and can be quite affordable. This drink is obviously for an adult hostess and if you plan ahead you can pick up a bottle that helps complement the meal that will be served at the party. Wine is fine but liquor is quicker. Seriously though at some party bringing a bottle of the hostess’s favorite poison is sure to make her smile. Of course, not all gifts have to be so adult. Chocolate makes a great gift too. Just about everyone loves chocolate and so for the most part you really can’t go wrong with [...]
