Celebrating Those Special Dads on Father’s Day

On Sunday, June 19th we celebrate our Dads, those special parents who have protected and mentored us and who work so hard to teach us what they know. It’s a great day to take Dad out for something fun in San Diego or have a great backyard BBQ. Dad also deserves some special gifts and we have some great ideas to get you started with his treasure trove: We have a wide array of gift baskets and fruit baskets for Father’s Day. For example, the Fruit and Gourmet Treasure Basket is brimming over with apples, pears, oranges and other seasonal fruit as well as sparkling cider, artisanal cheese, crackers and other gourmet goodies. If Dad has a green thumb or appreciates plants, you can opt for green indoor plant, succulent plants, blooming plant or garden basket. Some of our favorites include the San Diego Succulent Cylinder that offers a terrarium to enjoy at home or the office; the Emerald Garden basket with a bright green spathiphyllum plant in a natural wicker basket; or the Elegant Spathiphylum that also offers a beautiful display. Another gift idea is to go with tropical flowers, which offer a dramatic display that Dad is sure to enjoy this Father’s Day. For example, Hawaiian Paradise has numerous flowers that have been imported from Hawaii. The exotic flower arrangement contains orchids, heliconia, ginger, antrhurium and greenery in a clear square vase. Our San Diego flower shops also offer balloon bouquets, greeting cards, and other special Father’s Day gifts that make it a worthwhile trip to stop and shop our showroom.
