Our world class floral designers have produced some of the most elegant holiday spirited floral products you will find. Thanksgiving evolved in 1621. As we all know from our history studies, it was a bitterly cold winter after the Pilgrims first landed in America. They were able to survive by the generosity of the Native Americans that shared food with them. To repay their new friends, the Pilgrims held a three-day feast. The bounty they shared included dried fruits, boiled pumpkin, turkey, venison and other foods. A slightly different menu from what we are accustomed to but no doubt a delightful feast at that time. Over the many years the theme of a celebration of harvest has continued to evolve. Today we think of Thanksgiving as a time to give thanks for our foundation of this great Nation. Of course, it is also the official start of the holiday season and a special time of fellowship with family and friends. After receiving encouragement from some people, President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a nationwide holiday in 1863. As many people will be traveling and or hosting the Thanksgiving Day meal, there are guidelines to contemplate according to the CDC.  Some of their modified guidelines from last year are: Protect those not yet eligible for vaccination such as young children by getting yourself and other eligible people around them vaccinated. Wear well-fitting masks over your nose and mouth if you are in public indoor settings if you are not fully vaccinated. Even those who are fully vaccinated [...]

Gift Crates are Perfect Idea for Thanksgiving Host

If you are not hosting Thanksgiving this year but are going to a nearby friend or family member's house, it's always a good idea to bring along a gift for the Thanksgiving host that says thank you for the invite and hospitality. After all, a lot of work goes into preparing the Thanksgiving feast and table. And, with all the changes this year in terms of safety precautions for family and social gatherings, the Thanksgiving host may have fewer people on hand to help out. There are many types of Thanksgiving host gifts to consider. Think about what you know about your host, including their preferences and personality. The most personalized gifts mean the most because the host will know you put a lot of thought into what you got for them. Your favorite San Diego florist is here to help with many different gift crates that are ideal as a Thanksgiving host gift. The gift crates are similar to gift baskets in that they offer many types of gifts in one package. Our gift crates, though, offer a unique way to showcase our floral designs and plants like succulents as well as offer items like gourmet food, fresh fruit, and wine or champagne. Now, you can give your Thanksgiving host something to add to the table like a bouquet as well as treat them to a bottle of their favorite red or white wine or champagne. Maybe they will even break it out at the Thanksgiving meal to share! Plus, any of the food items may be ideal for the snacks that come before or after the Thanksgiving meal. Recently, we have introduced some new gift crates that may also make nice host gifts for this year's Thanksgiving. Many feature [...]

Thanksgiving Decorating Ideas

Thanksgiving will be here in a few weeks, so it's good to start planning your decor for that special family gathering. It's a time to show gratitude and reflect on a year that has been challenging but that has shown us what we should value most. Here, in San Diego, the weather is starting to change but we are still fortunate to have sunny days even with the cooler temperatures. The weather can make it possible to even consider hosting a Thanksgiving meal on a patio or deck outdoors. Our San Diego flower shop offers a wide range of floral designs for this year's Thanksgiving celebration. Here are some of their ideas for how you can decorate your home, table, and space for Thanksgiving. Cornucopias Let's start with one of the most traditional types of Thanksgiving centerpieces: the cornucopia. Also known as the horn of plenty, the cornucopia is a symbol of the prosperity of the harvest and a reminder of how much all of us have in terms of the wealth our family and friends offer us. Our San Diego flower shops and website offer a wide range of cornucopia designs to fit your home. This includes a traditional rustic and harvest theme replete with sunflowers, mini pumpkins, wheat, and bold colors. You can also go with a more elegant cornucopia that includes burgundy roses, purple and pink flowers, and cream accents. Thanksgiving Centerpieces You can also opt to add centerpieces to your dining table, buffet table, coffee table, or even your foyer table to welcome guests into your home. Again, coordinate the colors of your centerpieces to match your color scheme and decor style. You don't have to stick with the traditional orange and yellow hues of Thanksgiving pasts. [...]
