Festive flowers for your staff

The holidays are the best time to show your employees how much you appreciate their ongoing efforts. Over the past year they have proven their worth through hard work and dedication. Decorating your offices with festive flowers will help everyone get into the holiday spirit, but you can take it a step further by presenting each staff member with a special gift.

Keep equality in mind

When choosing gifts for employees, it’s important to make sure you treat each employee equally. If your gifts create the perception of favouritism, they can cause animosity among your workers, and that’s never good for morale or your business. One more reason to choose a unique gift for everyone.

Set your budget

Fresh festive flowers are appropriate and convenient. Flowers are popular for all occasions and during this time of year you will find that your florist has many festive solutions to offer. The first thing you will need to do is establish a budget. Calculate the number of people you currently employ, set your budget and divide this amount by the number of employees.

Types of blooms

With this figure in mind, it’s time to go shopping! Look for festive flowers like red roses, perhaps a bouquet that includes mistletoe, and don’t be shy with the foliage! The dark green leaves really help the Christmas flowers stand out even more. If you are ordering a large quantity of floral arrangements, it is essential to place your order weeks in advance. It is important to understand that your florist will need to prepare by purchasing the flowers needed to create many bouquets. They also need to plan the delivery with plenty of time to spare. Ordering in advance is the best way to avoid disappointment.

Potted plants

Another option, apart from festive flowers, is a potted plant for your staff. Poinsettias are a popular choice this time of year, but you can send another potted plant, such as roses or even cacti, if you prefer. In this case, everything will depend on your budget and how much you can spend on each employee.

Finally, don’t forget to look for festive flowers and plants that come with free chocolate and other extras. If you want a particular bouquet but don’t have any extras, you can ask your florist to add a vase, chocolates, a teddy bear or even a bottle of sparkling wine to each bouquet.
