Blooms of Gratitude: The Best Reasons to Say “Thanks” With Fresh Flowers


Gratitude practices are totally trending, and for good reason — they help us remember to be thankful for all the awesome stuff in our lives, especially the amazing people! We’re talking about coworkers who are killing it at the office (seriously, where would we be without them?) and the mentors who helped you level up into your best self. And let’s not forget those Christmas and Thanksgiving hosts with the legit best hospitality. At Griffins Floral Designs in Columbus, Ohio, we know the realest way to say “thank you” is with gorgeous blooms, so here’s the scoop!

Host & Hostess Gifts

If you managed to score an invite to a festive Christmas party, yummy Thanksgiving feast, or any holiday hang, really, don’t go to the door empty-handed; surprise your hosts with some fresh flowers! A stunning centerpiece will totally set the holiday mood. Poinsettias? They’re the holiday OG, always bringing that festive energy. For Thanksgiving vibes, chrysanthemums are where it’s at — so much autumn magic in one bloom. Want to switch it up? Go for anthuriums, tropical stunners that straight-up symbolize hospitality.

Mentors Who Make a Difference

What would we even do without our teachers, the ones who’ve had our backs from out of the gate? Who helped us figure out what we’re meant to do? For real, graduation day wouldn’t have happened without our amazing mentors guiding us. If there’s one blossom that screams “thank you” to these wise legends, it’s gotta be irises, the ultimate symbol of wisdom. And if you’re feeling like spreading some all-around appreciation, pink roses are the move. Trust, they totally nail the assignment.

Being There in Pivotal Moments

Your inner circle, your squad, your day-ones — whatever you call them, they’re in your corner, whether they’re blood fam or chosen. These are the people you lean on for advice, comfort, or just a much-needed hug. So, of course, you gotta give back to them! Hydrangeas are the perfect bloom for this — they’re like a big, beautiful “thank you” in flower form. And let’s not forget pretty snapdragons! They’re ambassadors of grace and strength, which we all need in our life, right?

Going Above and Beyond

Let’s be honest, when your bestie or fam goes above and beyond, it’s super heartwarming. It’s one of those moments that just hits different and makes you wanna return the favor big time. How? We suggest flowers every time. Yellow lilies? They’ve got the gratitude thing down, thanks to their symbolism and sunshine-yellow energy. And sunflowers? Oh, they’re a total mood, spreading all that positive energy just like your crew does.

Thanking Bosses and Coworkers

Landing a big win at work? Yeah, that’s a major flex, especially when the whole team came together to crush it (let’s go!). Time to give props to that team spirit with something high-key gorgeous that’ll have everyone hyped. Orchids are the go-to for the office: classy, thoughtful, and stunning. And if you’re all about honoring the office’s resilience and endurance, succulents are 100 percent the move.

Looking to send some major good energy? Fresh blossoms have you covered! Let Griffins Floral Designs help you thank your ride-or-dies with a custom gift made just for them.
