7 Great Gifts to Say Thanks

Endless Love Bouquet from bloomex.ca

In today’s fast-paced world, the simple act of expressing a sincere ‘thanks’ has largely been lost. But it doesn’t have to be. Although it seems like nobody has any extra time, Bloomex takes the hassle out of ordering flowers and you know that once you click, you’re in good hands.

A little gesture can go a long way, and a token of appreciation combined with a handwritten note is an easy way to make a lasting impression. So check out these seven gifts from Bloomex that make for a perfect way to say thanks.

For the friendly acquaintance….
Maybe it’s the babysitter that had to stay late, or the person that returned your lost wallet out of the good of their heart.
We recommend: Gourgeous Geberas ($24.95). This colorful bouquet brings a ray of color into any room, and its beautiful, vibrant blooms ensure that it lives up to its name.

For the boss…
Boss gave you a promotion you weren’t expecting, or gave the thumbs-up to extra vacation time? It might not be most people’s first thought, but a planter basket for their desk is a great way to score some points.

Lily Sunshine Bouquet from bloomex.ca

We recommend: Colourful Garden ($34.95). This looks great on office desks and at 10” x 6”, doesn’t take up too much room. 

For your parents…
Perhaps they’ve done something nice for you lately, or perhaps it’s just a general ‘Thanks, mom and dad.’ It’s never a bad time, is it?
We recommend: Lily Sunshine ($34.95). This bright yellow bouquet of Asiatic Lilies makes for a perfect reminder of their favourite (just kidding!) child.

For the teacher…
Whether it’s for your kids teachers around the holidays or end of school, or you’re a grad student, a bouquet for a beloved teacher is a lovely act of gratitude.
We recommend: Fruits and Chocolates ($39.95). This basket comes loaded with 4 assorted chocolate treats, a branch of grapes, 2 oranges, 3 apples, 3 pear and a nectarine. Kind of puts the old, standard, solitary apple to shame, doesn’t it?

For the colleague…
It’s always nice when a colleague at work steps up to help you out with that big project, or covers your phone when you have to step away from your desk.
We recommend: Fruit and Cheese Basket ($49.95). Practical and handy, this basket contains assorted premium cheeses, 3 apples, 4 pears, 1 branch of grapes, 3 oranges and a nectarine. Your colleague can cut back on buying snacks for work for weeks!

Summer Flower Basket from  bloomex.ca

For the 'BFF'…
An everlasting friendship should never be taken for granted; it should be celebrated. Let your best friend know that you’ll always be there for them.
We recommend: Summer Flower Basket ($109.95). This beautiful colorful basket of flowers will bring warmth into any room regardless of the weather outside. The wicker basket contains Asters, Chrysanthemums, Cosmos and Dahlias – ideal for saying “thank you for being a friend.”

For your significant other…
Our significant others become the most important people in our lives, so be sure to express your gratitude toward them, whether they’ve done something specifically nice for you lately or not. They deserve it!
We recommend: Endless Love ($84.95). This bouquet is absolutely breathtaking. Twelve long stem red roses – always an excellent choice – are accented by five White Calla Lilies and complimented by fresh greens.

The Meaning of Rose Colors - Red, White, Pink and More

Roses have been a favorite for thousands of years of humanity. According to the University of Illinois, cultivation of roses likely began around 5,000 years ago in China. Cultivated roses are thought to have been introduced to Europe around the late 18^th century, laying the foundation for what we now know as modern roses.

Red Roses, simply timeless

With so much history, it’s no wonder that individual shades and colors of roses have had meanings attached to them over the years. But aside from florists and a select group of hobbyists, who really knows what those meanings are? Allow Bloomex to shed some light...

 

RED: This one’s easy. The inimitable classic red rose symbolizes true love, and also suggests passion. The most classic, typical color for sending roses, and with good reason.

WHITE: White roses are always one of the most popular colors or shades of roses, and they have come to symbolize innocence and purity.

PINK: Perhaps the earliest rose to evolve, a pink rose has come to symbolize appreciation and gratitude, among other things.

YELLOW: Appropriate for most occasions, yellow roses primarily send a message of friendship and joy.

ORANGE: Sending orange roses is a bold move, and can convey desire and happiness.

LAVENDER: Has generally come to symbolize love at first site.

DEEP PURPLE: Often associated with enduring or long-lasting love.

(And hey, if you're in the mood to send some roses after reading this...we've got them for half-price at Bloomex for delivery on Fridays!)
