The idea of "National Boss's Day" was offered up to the United States Chamber of Commerce in 1958. The thoughtful woman who introduced the concept was working for her father as a secretary at a State Farm Insurance Company in Illinois. In her observation, it did not seem clear to younger workers that their supervisors were dedicated, committed and hard working individuals. She felt their dedication needed to be realized and appreciated. While it used to be common place to simply give your boss or supervisor a thank you card, today it is appropriate, in most offices, to give he or she a gift. Typical gifts are candy and chocolates. In many cases employees pool their money to buy even bigger gifts. Do you have a special boss that you would like to give a special floral gift to? We have just what you need at Allen's Flowers!

Things You Can Do to Spread Joy During National Smile Week

We can all agree that the last year and a half has been challenging and stressful in so many ways. However, we also know that it is our close circle of friends and family as well as the kindness of strangers that have been the key to getting through it all. This week is National Smile Week. It was created many years before COVID-19 as a way to encourage kindness and thoughtfulness in a way that would hopefully go viral in a good way! Now more than ever, participating in National Smile Week is a good way to help others as the stress and concern over health and wellness continue for those of all ages. Here, in San Diego, we want to make the most of this week and pay it forward in the weeks to come so we can all maintain a positive frame of mind. Our team at our San Diego flower shops, including those in La Mesa and El Cajon, shared their thoughts about what we can all do during National Smile Week to focus on positive mental health for all here in San Diego and around the country. Make a concerted effort to smile more. It will rub off on others, making them feel good and perhaps inspiring them to smile more, too. While we may have to wear masks in certain places, which means not everyone will see us smile, we can still smile with our eyes and with our voices. Think of what you can do for others, large or small. It can be holding the door for someone, helping them with errands or tasks around the house, participating in volunteer work, or buying something for those in need like school supplies or clothes, groceries, [...]
