Personally I love getting flowers. Flowers in all forms can be a great gift. Beautiful formal roses or hand picked wild flowers can be great. 

• A great time to send a bouquet is when someone has just moved to a new home, is sick, has accomplished something new, birthdays, a new love or just a thank you. 
• You don’t always have to send a bouquet. A flowering plant a planting basket, herb basket or terrarium are great options. 
• As a gift to the hostess arrange for a bouquet to be delivered the morning before a dinner party. It will reduce the stress for the hostess instead of arriving with them. 
• Always enclose a handwritten note. 
• If you want to get really creative look up the meaning of certain flowers and write it in your note. 
• Men enjoy flowers too! 
• Avoid plastic flowers. There are silk, beaded, glass or porcelain flowers which are more acceptable.
• Flowers are the perfect “I’m sorry” gift.
