When the holiday season hits, the festive cheer often gets overshadowed by a low-grade panic attack known as The Gift Search. Suddenly, finding a thoughtful, top-notch present feels less like a joy and more like an Olympic sport. We all know the culprits: there's the famously tricky relative who sends ambiguous wish lists, and then there’s the resident enigma, whose perfectly curated life suggests they already own every gadget, luxury, and rare collectable imaginable. You end up spending hours scrolling, battling the clock, and desperately trying to avoid gifting another generic, last-minute candle.
This year, forget the overwhelm. Choosing flowers for a Christmas gift allows you to give something beautiful and deeply personal. So, swap that fail-proof gift card for a stunning arrangement that captures the magic of Christmas.
Spreading Festive Cheer with Blooms
Christmas flowers are the ideal gift for anyone on your list, whether it's your grandma, mother-in-law, or partner. They are a thoughtful way to bring immediate colour and a lovely scent to the room.
During this special time of year, floral Christmas gifts help us express joy, deep appreciation, and love without needing a single word. Moreover, flowers simply bring an atmosphere of warmth and welcome into the home, making them a universal gesture of good wishes.
Why Flowers are the Perfect Holiday Present
Flowers offer several distinct advantages that make them the perfect choice for gifting:
- Perfectly Suited to the Occasion: Flowers naturally complement the festive season with their rich, traditional colours, such as reds, whites, greens, or even sunny yellows and golds.
- Expressing Deep Emotion: They effortlessly convey positive feelings, which are sentiments that are central to the Christmas holiday.
- Solution for the Hard-to-Shop-For: Flowers are a go-to Christmas gift for people who are particularly hard to shop for. They are non-intrusive and always appreciated, regardless of the recipient’s taste.
- Can Brighten Your Recipients Day: A well-arranged bunch of fresh or preserved flowers acts like a burst of happiness, wrapped up beautifully in an elegant arrangement.
- Versatile Décor: Flowers can fit right into any home, office, or living room, instantly enhancing the festive décor without overwhelming the existing holiday theme.
What Kind of Flowers Do You Give for Christmas?
As expert florists, we know which blooms truly shine during the festive period, offering both beauty and a memorable sentiment for your recipient.
1. Nobilis Fir
Known for its distinct, refreshing fragrance and rich green colour, Nobilis Fir provides a stunning, festive gift that also doubles as a backdrop for holiday arrangements, wreaths, and garlands. Its symmetrical shape and firm branches make it a top-quality choice for decorations, and it is sturdy enough to hold heavier ornaments. Furthermore, it also boasts a long keepability, symbolising the lasting beauty and the enduring spirit of Christmas.
2. Poinsettia
Often affectionately called the "Christmas Flower," the Poinsettia is the quintessential holiday plant, instantly adding a pop of colour and cheer to your recipient's room with its striking red and green leaves.
Poinsettias symbolise goodwill, celebration, positivity, spirit, and the joy of Christmas. In some traditions, the plant's star-shaped leaves are said to symbolise the Star of Bethlehem, and the red leaves are said to represent the blood of Christ.
3. Ilex Berries & Red Hypericum Berries
These berries are brilliant for adding a vivid pop of classic festive colour and interesting texture to any holiday centrepiece or floral arrangement. They are the perfect natural foliage to complement a Christmas bouquet, wreath, or tree.
Beyond aesthetics, Hypericum, also known as St. John’s Wort, symbolises protection and good fortune, making it a thoughtful and meaningful addition to a gift for loved ones.
4. Amaryllis
The Amaryllis is a spectacular bulb plant with large, trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom conveniently right on time for the Christmas period. These stunning blooms are available in a range of colours, from red and white to soft pink and multicoloured varieties, while their size makes them a bold statement in any arrangement.
Moreover, the Amaryllis symbolises pride, determination, transformation, and beauty, making it a perfect gift for yourself, a friend, or a loved one to celebrate their new beginnings this Christmas season.
5. Roses
The Bloom Box: Chiffon Rose Centrepiece
Red roses, as seen in our Chiffon Rose Centrepiece, are the go-to choice for almost every occasion, but they are exceptionally fitting for Christmas as they naturally match the holiday's classic red and green colour palette. These striking flowers are perfect for instantly brightening up any space and expressing deep love and affection during the festive season.
6. Phalaenopsis Orchid
More commonly known as the Moth Orchid, the Phalaenopsis Orchid has many meanings depending on its colour. For example, a white Phalaenopsis orchid symbolises purity, friendship, and love, while yellow moth flowers represent career success, making it a great gift for people you care about. It's also a top pick as a present for anyone who appreciates elegance and sophisticated beauty in their home furnishings.
When your recipient uses it as décor, it adds an exotic touch to their Christmas decorations with its appearance and intricate patterns, as well as elegance and colour to their homes.
