Thank You, But Make It Floral: Gratitude Flowers Speak Louder Than Words


There’s always a reason to give a sweet shout-out to the great people in our lives, from the awesome friends and family who host us on Thanksgiving and Christmas to the passionate rockstars who keep our offices humming. To show your appreciation and well-wishes, we can’t think of a better gesture than gifting fresh flowers that are packed with sincere meaning. Whether it’s gifts for your coworkers or thoughtful presents for mentors that say, “Thank you,” at Al’s Florist, the best flower shop in Hollywood, FL, you’ll find the perfect arrangement for each of the amazing people who deserve all the love.

Host & Hostess Gifts

When you’re headed to Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any holiday gathering, don’t just show up — show up with a stunning, festive floral centerpiece that’ll make your host feel like the holiday MVP they are. For Thanksgiving, chrysanthemums are your go-to. They’re the ultimate autumn vibe, with rich, warm hues that practically glow next to a pumpkin pie. Anthuriums are the “we see you and appreciate your hospitality” flower (seriously, they symbolize hospitality!), while poinsettias scream “Happy Holidays!” with their iconic bright red petals of cheer.

Mentors Who Make a Difference

The teachers and mentors in our lives (not limited to our family) totally deserve some love for helping us crush our goals — like that epic walk across the graduation stage. We wouldn’t know what to do without them! To express your gratitude in style, go for irises. These flowers are equivalent to a wise old owl as they symbolize wisdom and knowledge. If you want to sprinkle in some extra good vibes, pink roses are perfect and a radiant symbol of appreciation.

Being There in Pivotal Moments

The family members and besties who stick with us through life’s rollercoasters are absolute lifesavers! They’re our sources of comfort, good advice, laughter, and so much more. So, when you want to show them some major love, reach for hydrangeas. These fluffy blooms radiate heartfelt emotion and send out those “I’m so thankful for you” vibes. Snapdragons are another powerhouse! They represent strength and grace. And let’s be real, who couldn’t use a little extra of that in their life?

Going Above and Beyond

They totally didn’t have to go all out, but they did, and we’re forever grateful! There’s nothing better than flowers that say “you’re the best” to convey your gratitude. Yellow lilies are like sunshine in bloom, symbolizing joy and big gratitude, which is exactly what we feel for those friends who always go the extra mile. And sunflowers? They’re the ultimate inspirations for positivity and happiness, standing tall and proud, just like those who never fail to surprise us.

Thanking Bosses and Coworkers

We totally crushed that big project together as a team (woohoo!), and now it’s time to level up the “thank you” game. Trust us, showing some gratitude not only boosts the vibes but also makes the office a whole lot prettier! Orchids are the icons of elegance, symbolizing charm, beauty, and thoughtfulness — basically everything that made our team shine. Succulents are all about strength, endurance, resilience, and even a little selflessness (so fitting!).

Fresh, fun, and full of positive energy, flowers hit all of the high notes. Let Al’s Florist help you thank the folks who deserve it most with a custom gift just for them.
