Send a Christmas Card with Flowers

Now that you have some ideas for Christmas card messages, it’s time to think about what you’d like to send with your card. If you don’t have a gift idea, fresh flowers are always a great idea! Seasonal bouquets add Christmas cheer to the home, and a bouquet subscription provides fresh flowers for multiple months.

This holiday season, self-care means using whatever tools are available to save you time and energy, so you have plenty for the festivities. In addition to Christmas card messages, you might want to browse friendship quotes to punch up your greetings to those friends you couldn’t do life without. Another time-saver that makes a big impact around Christmas is a gift of flowers. Show your bestie, a favorite teacher, or the customer who made your year how special they are with a plant or bouquet.

You can order flowers online without leaving your home or office, and avoid the holiday shopping crowds. Just remember to write something meaningful on the flower card, and you’re all set! The Bouqs will do the rest by delivering the freshest, longest lasting flowers straight from the farm to their door. Give yourself the gift of extra time this holiday season, and let The Bouqs do the work!
