With Thanksgiving just around the corner, it’s time to think about your dinner plans. If you’re like a lot of Americans (50 million last year, to be exact), you’ll be arriving on someone else’s doorstep and eating at someone else’s table this holiday. If that’s the case, we here at Ron & Alicia Robinson Florist are here to remind you about a little something called the host gift.

It’s always been customary here in the U.S. and across the globe to make an offering to a host, whether they’re providing you with a feast, letting you stay in their home or throwing a great party. Thanksgiving, with its endless planning and execution, is exactly the sort of event for which the host gift was intended. Let us show you how it’s done with flowers.

Look for an arrangement that really expresses your gratitude, but isn’t completely overwhelming. Crowd pleasing flowers like hydrangea and roses are always welcome and make for a beautiful, lighthearted display in the home. Our Sweet Wishes design demonstrates this principle nicely.

Adding something unique and special to the arrangement is a nice touch. The floral container is an easy way to do that, whether it’s an interesting vase or a box like it is here.

Have your bouquet sent in advance of Thanksgiving or right after. That way, you’re not burdening your host with the task of finding the perfect home for your gift on the day of. We’ve got a bevy of arrangements that work well for a host gift at Ron & Alicia Robinson Florist and are glad to help you pick one out.
