Gifts for the host with the most
When you’ve received an invitation to attend an event, it’s a lovely tradition to take a gift to show your gratitude to the host. Whether it’s for a formal meal, relaxed supper or a party, flowers are always a welcome gift of appreciation, while there’s always a flower arrangement to express thanks, you have other options too.
Here are Court Florist’s recommendations for thank you flowers and gifts to perfectly match the occasion that your host will love:
· Thank you flowers for a formal dinner party
Is there ever a more appropriate time to gift a traditional bouquet of flowers? A traditional bouquet of flowers reflects the formality of a dinner party, but do not confuse traditional with old-fashioned, rather it is about the structure and form of the floral arrangement.
If you have an idea about the type of flower bouquet you would like to order, speak to one of Court Florist’s creative team. We create custom flower arrangements to your specifications: a flower arrangement to complement the host’s favourite colour, interior design scheme and décor or personal style.
TIP: your host will likely be busy preparing food and looking after guests, so organise for the flower bouquet to be created in a vase ready for immediate display.
· Thank you flowers for a relaxed supper
For a more casual evening supper, the flower arrangement design can be less structured than a formal bouquet of flowers and look as if freshly gathered from the garden, and a posy is the ideal gift solution. With relaxed and textured foliage and an abundance of seasonal pretty flowers, a posy is a delightful and beautiful thank you to your host.
· Thank you for a drinks party
Other than alcohol, what can you take to a drinks party? The most welcome gifts are often items you would not ordinarily buy yourself, and this is where a touch of luxe comes in. Whether you choose a beautifully gift-wrapped box of De Spa chocolates adorned with fresh flowers or a divinely fragranced George and Edi soy candle from Court Florist’s collection, your host will love the sheer luxury and indulgence.
· Thank you for a weekend stay
When you have been welcomed into someone’s home for a weekend, you need to go the extra mile (especially if you would like a return invite!). Organise a large and extravagant bouquet for same day flower delivery (Christchurch and suburbs) or a custom gift hamper.
Court Florist have curated a selection from premium brands for our gift hampers. As Surmanti stockists for Christchurch NZ, your host can enjoy luxury spa treatments, or perhaps a champagne, gin, wine or whiskey hamper would be more appreciated. You can pick and choose exactly how you wish to express your gratitude.
Court Florist hope you have been inspired by our thank you present recommendations. Our products are available for collection from the Victoria Street florist Christchurch, or we can also organise gift and flower delivery if that is more convenient for you. Order online or call 03 379 8255.
