Need the Perfect Hostess Gift? Think Flowers!
December 5th, 2009
It seems to me that because we have become such an “informal” society, oftentimes etiquette goes right out the window.
If you are like me you have parties galore to attend this time of year. They may be dinner parties, office parties, cocktail parties or holiday open houses. In fact, I did a very informal survey of my customers and most people said they had at least 5 events to go to between now and New Years! And oftentimes we are not sure what to bring the host or hostess as a thank you.
That’s where Eden Florist can help! We help you find the perfect centerpiece or cut flowers or holiday plant to add a touch of class to your arrival.
Need other ideas for a hostess gift? How about a nice bottle of wine or champagne, or scented candles, the latest best-seller or perhaps a little trinket or holiday keepsake such as a bell or wine glass?
The gift does not have to be extravagant or elaborate or even expensive. It just needs to be in good taste and something you think your host will appreciate. Believe me the host will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
The important thing is to never arrive empty-handed.

Great suggestion! I find that flowers or a plant are always a welcome present. They brighten any room and they’re perfect for a thoughtful hostess gift.

My mom taught me about giving gratitude to a hostess, if you cannot afford anything give her a hug before going out from the party and compliment one menu she was cooking. Since I love cooking every time me and my husband is invited to a small gathering,I always bring with me my Fettuccine recipe.

If you could only see what’s inside my home. I put fresh indoor plant and some paper flowers which I bought on a Chinese store, they really are so refreshing to the eyes. Anyway, every time I visit a friend in the hospital I always make a special arrangement of flowers with fruits bouquet. I am known of bringing something like that.I am happy when I see a friend enjoying what I just had give her.
