<p>There's no doubt that flowers make us feel better, whether we are the receiver or the giver. But why?</p>
<p>Study after study has looked at the effects of flowers on well being, and made some surprising conclusions. For instance, hospitalized patients who have flowers or <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/plants/potted-plants/">potted plants</a> in their room use less pain medication and have lower blood pressure than their flower-less counterparts. A Rutgers researcher found that flowers didn't just make people happy in the moment they were received, but continued to do so days after. Flowers promote a rosy outlook, oxygenate the air, bring the outdoors in . . . in other words, they are the perfect get well gift, or so we think here at <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a>.</p>
<p><span id="more-1134"></span></p>
<p>We also say, the more vibrant the better, as if some of that vibrancy will rub off on the recipient. To that end, we steer people looking for get well flowers toward something like A Blissfully Vibrant, which pairs tulips and orchids together in a visually arresting arrangement full of complementary purples and pinks. These flowers spill over a simple cube vase, offering a lot of shape and texture.<img src="https://frenchflorist.imgix.net/images/item/AMS101713030722733.jpg?w=950&amp;auto=format" /></p>
<p>You could spend hours looking at an arrangement like this, and given the fact that the recipient is likely bedridden or home bound, offering them something dynamic to look at is a gift in itself. This piece can easily transition from the nightstand to the dining room table once your giftee has recovered.</p>

<p><strong>Organize A Tea Party</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let kids create a tea party for grandparents with fancy china, elaborate costumes and gourmet treats. Or, for a more fun, laid-back tea party, go a little crazy like the Mad Hatter with bright colors, silly hats and plenty of fun desserts.</span></p>
<p><strong>Create A Craft Together</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let kids and grandparents choose a craft to do together that will be a lasting reminder of their time spent together. Create something like a picture frame with old buttons from Grandma's sewing kit or let Grandad show them how to build a model airplane. Kids can enjoy grandparents hobbies and grandparents can learn all about kids interests as well.</span></p>

Centuries later, Christians observed the end of the Lenten season by filling baskets with food to be consumed when the seasonal fasting was over.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Earth Day movement officially began on two fronts in 1970; but the stage may well have been set 8 years earlier when Rachel Carson's Silent Spring hit the New York Times bestsellers list. The book sold over a half million copies and began to raise awareness and concern for the environment and the inter-connectedness of pollution and health and wellness.</p>

Inspired by the groundswell created by the student anti-war protests, he realized that he could channel the energy of the political atmosphere into environmental efforts, forcing the government to take on air and water pollution issues. Senator Nelson imagined the first National Teach-In on the environment. Enlisting the support of Congressman Pete McCloskey and Harvard professor Denis Hayes, the effort was underway. On April 22, 1970, massive gatherings and rallies took place coast to coast, demanding a healthy and sustainable environment. Environmental groups that had been operating independently saw an opportunity to unite into one consolidated effort. By the end of just one year, the first Earth Day had led to the establishment of the EPA, and the passage of the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act. Nelson had obviously hit on something Americans, and the world, cared about.</p>

<p>Nearly simultaneously, in 1969, John McConnell proposed a global holiday to advance peace and unite the world for conservation efforts. The announcement was made at the National UNESCO Conference in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco">San Francisco</a>, and outlined the need for preserving and renewing the threatened <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological">ecological</a> systems. The proposal was met with overwhelming support; and independent of Nelson's efforts, an Earth Day Proclamation was made by the City of San Francisco on March 21, 1970. In June of the same year, an International Earth Day Proclamation outlined the principles and responsibilities of nations, and was signed at the UN by 36 world leaders, including UN Secretary General U Thant. This International holiday is celebrated around the globe on the Spring Equinox each year; in 2016, it will be observed on March 21.</p>

<p>Mother Nature offers us some beautiful flowers and <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/plants/trees/">trees</a> to brighten our days. Yet all too often we overlook these wonders as we move about our busy lives. Since 1970, we have had a designated Earth Day to remind us that we need to care for this precious earth and all that it offers us. Some of the beautiful flowers that nature has created can be the perfect way to experience the wonders of the world.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a>&nbsp;has set out to create some lovely arrangements that fit perfectly for this time of year.</p>

You will be enchanted by the freshly cut stargazer lilies that are perfectly complemented by the liatris, tulips, and delphinium. The brilliant pinks, whites, blues, and purples found in this arrangement will draw the eye of everyone who walks into the room. It is a perfect way to remember the incredible beauty found in our natural world.</p>

<p>This arrangement will work well throughout the home. You can use it as a centerpiece on a dining room table, over the fireplace on a mantle, or even on an end table. No matter where it lives, it will add a fresh spark of color to the space and put a smile on people's faces. Give one as a gift to others, or get one to treasure yourself.</p>
<p>This Earth Day, remember to stop and look around at the beauty that surrounds us all.

<p>We love the joy and companionship that animals bring to our lives. It is estimated that approximately 75 million dogs and 85 million cats are kept as pets. However, the problems involved with strays, overpopulation, and abandonment are very real issues as well. Shelters are full, and unfortunately, many animals are necessarily euthanized approximately 2.7 million animals a year, 1.4 million of which are dogs. National Puppy Day was instituted 10 years ago as a way to bring attention to the need for animal lovers to adopt and rescue puppies from shelters, as opposed to buying from puppy mills. &nbsp;Of course, adopting older dogs saves lives as well, and is especially poignant as abandoned adult dogs are often very sad and confused about their situation.&nbsp;<span id="more-939"></span><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/send-in-los-angeles-glorious-hues/"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-941" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/03/french-270x300.gif" alt="Floral bouquet designed specifically for the veterinarian" width="270" height="300" loading="lazy" /></a><br />National Puppy Day is a wonderful opportunity to thank all of the caring people who work to save these animals, nurse them back to health if necessary, and go to great lengths to find them loving homes. Here at French Florist, we even have a floral bouquet designed specifically for the veterinarian who took care of Little Jo, owner Steve's dog. If you wish to thank the shelter workers or pet professionals who have loved your puppy as much as you do, a floral arrangement or green plant is a wonderful gesture.</p>
<p><strong>Did You Know?</strong> Animals from rescue shelters are often the kindest, happiest animals you can bring into your home. Happy to have a forever home, they are also usually well socialized and fit in well with your family and other pets.</p>
<p>On National Puppy Day, organizers urge people to consider adopting a puppy. If that is not possible, they suggest making a small donation to a local Los Angeles no-kill shelter to support their work. <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a> is happy to create a custom arrangement for any occasion large or small. Give us a call, we love celebrating all your family members, whether human or canine!</p>

<p>Want to feel really good this holiday season? Then take note of Giving Tuesday, which falls on November 28 this year.</p>
<p>At <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a>, were in the business of giving. That most often means enabling people to send the most beautiful fresh flowers to the people they love. But were also devoted to giving back to our community, and that's why we offer a way for you to do that, 365 days a year.</p>
<p><span id="more-1117"></span></p>
<p>There's no better feeling than when we can offer someone a special gift, and for that, we love flowers. But if you can expand that personal gift into a much broader act of charitable giving, it's a win win all the way around. To that end, we offer our <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/charityContribution.cfm">Helping Hands</a>&nbsp;program. And the process couldn't be easier. As youre shopping flowers online with us (and for this time of year, we recommend sending this&nbsp;<a href="https://frenchflorist.imgix.net/images/item/C7707080911351907113012407.jpg">A Holidays on Ice</a> beauty), simply click the Helping Hands drop down menu. A list of deserving organizations and institutions will be revealed. Select your favorite, and at checkout, a donation will be made to them.<a href="https://frenchflorist.imgix.net/images/item/C7707080911351907113012407.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://frenchflorist.imgix.net/images/item/C7707080911351907113012407.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Supporting our most valuable Los Angeles organizations is something we should do all year, but on Giving Tuesday, a global initiative to promote charitable giving across the world, it's even more imperative. During the holidays it can be easy to overlook those local causes that provide so much to so many. We say, take every opportunity to give that comes your way this season.</p>

<p>We here at <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a> want to give you a taste of what's filling the pages (and our shelves) of our <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/holiday/">Holiday Gift Guide</a>, a curated collection of elegant seasonal blooms in an array of striking designs. While it's hard to narrow down just a couple for your viewing pleasure, weve done it, picking two stellar examples of what we mean when we say holiday flowers.</p>
<p><span id="more-1124"></span></p>
<p>Winter holiday flower purchases are the biggest of the year, representing 30% of all holiday flower sales. No other holiday (were looking at you, Valentine's Day) even comes close. And it makes sense. We dress our tables, doors, mantels, workplaces and even the front stoop with florals and greens, unable to imagine passing the season without bringing in some of its beautiful blooms and vibrant greens. We can express so much about the holidays through our flowers, as <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2620">Holiday In The Snow</a>&nbsp;demonstrates.<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2620"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://www.frenchflorist.com/images/item/zoom_FW115008121463732.gif" /></a></p>
<p>Here <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/plants/orchids/">orchids</a>, <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses/">roses</a> and holly branches come together to make a sweet, stunning impact, bare winter branches rising overhead. Holiday flowers can be luxurious and glam or appear elegantly rustic, as in our <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2619">An Elegant Box Of Holiday Flowers</a>, which spills forth a bounty of blooms in the colors of Christmas. This centerpiece has enough polish for the holiday table but feels approachable, too.<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2619"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://www.frenchflorist.com/images/item/zoom_FW114908121460914.gif" /></a></p>

<p>Secret Santa the group gift swap where anonymous 'santas exchange presents may seem like a new idea, but nothing could be further from the truth. It evolved from Scandinavia's Julklapp or Christmas knock, where gift givers knock on doors and toss a present inside once theyre opened, all without being seen. The progenitor of this custom was Knecht Rupert, St. Nicholas's servant.</p>
<p>Scandinavia, Ireland, Latin America and many more Western cultures share a Secret Santa tradition that has been in practice for a long time. But it's the U.S. version that we at <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a> want to help you with this year.</p>
<p><span id="more-1121"></span></p>
<p>One of the trickiest things about Secret Santa is also its best the random assigning of gifter and giftee. It's what injects so much fun into the gift swap, but there's no guarantee youll know your recipient well enough to pick the perfect gift. And if youre trying to avoid the usual suspects a bottle of wine, a coffee mug, a gift certificate then it's harder still. We love the idea of selecting a crowd-pleasing gift, something that anyone would love to receive. Were talking about flowers, and specifically something like our <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2612">A Fitz and Floyd Holly Berry Ornament</a>.<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2612"><img src="https://frenchflorist.imgix.net/images/item/CFF82108071841059081211111004.jpg?w=950&amp;auto=format" /></a></p>
<p>What's sweet about this choice is the fresh seasonal blooms, which can be kept on a desk if youre doing Secret Santa at work or taken home to be enjoyed from there. The adorable ornament container makes for a charming piece of decor that your recipient can use again next year.</p>
<p>At <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist,</a> we take gift-giving seriously, but we also know it's important to have a lot of fun with your giving. To us, a game of Secret Santa is one of the best opportunities to do this.</p>
