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, [...]
