Plan Ahead and Order Early for Valentine’s Day
Although it is good to plan for Valentine's Day in advance to ensure you get what your beloved wants and it coordinates with your plans, it has become even more important to order ahead this year. That's all because of COVID-19 restrictions that have been put in place by the County of San Diego. This means that we have to limit the number of deliveries we have to do each day. On a normal week this limitation may not be a real issue. But, on Valentine's Day -- and one that falls on a Sunday -- it becomes more challenging to fit in all the Valentine's Day deliveries across San Diego even with flower shops across San Diego. We are doing deliveries across all locations in El Cajon, La Mesa, and San Diego. Ordering now by phone and online can help you lock in your preferred Valentine's Day delivery date. Of course, you can also choose curbside pickup of your Valentine's Day flowers and gifts at our San Diego flower shops. This includes everything from our popular Valentine's Day roses to our luxury flower arrangements and gift crates. You can even order Valentine's Day plants! It's also important to order [...]
Flowers are the Most Beloved Valentine’s Day Gift
Of all the possible gifts to get on Valentine's Day, flowers remain as the favorite. There are so many ways to express your emotions through flowers. For example, so many colors symbolize a feeling or relationship. Red is for romance, yellow for friendship, and pink for affection just to name a few. The natural beauty of flowers also provide a way to make others feel good, which is important when it is someone you love and adore. Your favorite San Diego flower shop is here to help you express yourself to that special someone this Valentine's Day.

Valentine’s Day is Just Around the Corner
Valentine's Day arrives on February 14th, which is not too far away. In fact, it's just around the corner, which makes this a good time to start planning how you will show your significant other much love on this special and romantic day. This year is going to be different than in previous years so you may need to get a little creative. Here are some ideas to get you started planning for Valentine's Day in San Diego. At home, make the most of your backyard or outdoor area with a romantic picnic made from items you had delivered from a store or your favorite San Diego restaurant. You could also go down to the beach, nearby lake, or park and take your picnic with you. This is also a good time to spend time together doing something you enjoy, such as hiking, biking, or even a round of golf. Or, if you prefer to stay indoors, take an online virtual painting class, wine tasting webinar, or online cooking class. Since Valentine's Day is on a Sunday this year, you may even want to do a quick getaway like skiing in the nearby mountains or a RV road trip with [...]
National Houseplant Appreciation Day!
Sunday, January 10th is National Houseplant Appreciation Day. It's a good time to bring more of nature into your home and that of others in your life. The day was created to bring more recognition to the benefits that green plants, indoor plants, and blooming plants can offer you, including cleaner air and more oxygen. Since it's also the start of a new year, it's a good way to start focusing on better health and creating a home (and even work from home) space that includes more of the outdoors. So many of us are spending more time inside than ever before, so these plants can offer a calming and healthful effect during such challenging times. The other good things to keep in mind about houseplants is that most of them are very easy to take care of and last a long time with very little maintenance. In fact, all you may need to do is put them in indirect or direct sun and check if they need water once in a while. Our San Diego flower shops also provide an extensive collection of green plants. We are always looking at ways to add more plant varieties to our in-store [...]
Sending a Thank You After the Holidays
Now that the holidays have passed, it's a good time to send your thanks to those who helped you during the holidays or provided you with a special gift. You also may not have been able to get to everyone on your list and send them something that shows you appreciate their support and concern during the past challenging year. As the year starts and you may have resolved to be more thoughtful or appreciative of those around you, it's an opportunity to send a thank you. Despite the continued mandates to distance, you can write a thank you card or send a special gift.

Celebrate the New Year with the Best Holiday Decor
I don't think anyone doesn't want this year to be over already. We would like to put 2020 behind us. Never have we looked so forward to a new year, hoping it brings positive change from the challenges of this past year. That gives even more meaning to New Year's Eve celebrations as we ring in a new year with perhaps more enthusiasm than has been seen in many years. We may even want to raise the bar on decorating for our at-home New Year's celebrations. Besides decorating your own home, this may be a good time to shower your loved ones with festive winter decor. The good news is that you can still enjoy the holiday florals and plants you added for Christmas as part of your own New Year's celebrations. You may want to add other fresh winter floral arrangements to celebrate the "new" year. Add some white or cream flowers to your overall design to bring these two celebrations together as you go from on occasion to the next. The week after Christmas and before New Year's is an ideal time to send others some love, including those that might have sent you a present or as [...]

The hope is that the additional festive decor will help make this a more tolerable year after so much stress.

Celebrate Hanukkah with Beautiful Floral Displays
This year, Hanukkah is December 10--December 18th. Known as the Festival of Lights in Judaism. There are many traditions that are celebrated during this special holiday. These special traditions include lighting the menorah, a nine-branched light holder that is lit each night until all the eight days of the Hanukkah festival are celebrated. Another tradition involves some delicious foods, including fried foods like potato pancakes known as latkes and jelly donuts. Then, there is playing dreidel, a game that commemorates Jewish heritage. Finally, Hanukkah involves giving gifts during nightly gift exchanges. This has only been recent addition to Hanukkah celebrations, added during the late nineteenth century. Most importantly, this is a time for family and close friends to focus on what you are grateful for from the past year. And, now, more than ever, this level of gratitude and appreciation for health and each other. This is also an opportune time to focus on how you will practice more gratitude and kindness going forward. Your Hanukkah celebration here in San Diego may be a little different than during previous years because of the need to gather in smaller groups. However, you can still virtually get together to enjoy a meal [...]

Gift Crates are Perfect Idea for Thanksgiving Host

Think Pink During Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is Breast Cancer Awareness across the country and in San Diego. It's a month dedicated to raising awareness and funds to help more people be aware of getting mammograms and doing more to help stop breast cancer. In the past, San Diego has been the home to many fundraisers and Breast Cancer Awareness events. However, due to COVID-19, many events have been cancelled this year. This includes many runs/walks as well as ceremonies. However, others are carrying on in a virtual format. For example, the Susan G. Komen Foundation of San Diego is hosting a virtual event on November 1st. Doing it virtually is intended to keep awareness going as well as continue to raise money for this important cause. What You Can Do Outside of external events throughout San Diego, you may know someone fighting breast cancer or who has survived it.

Here are some ideas to get you started: Change your social media profile to add a breast cancer awareness sticker or frame. Share information about breast cancer survival and early detection measures. Post pictures of those you know [...]

This offers a bright and cheerful blend and new visual experience for fall centerpieces, bouquets, and flower arrangements.
