<h3>Flowers Make People Happy</h3>
<p>Is there anyone who doesn't smile upon receiving a gift of beautiful flowers? Now we know flowers have the ability to keep that smile around for longer, and more. Behavioral research studies conducted at Harvard, Rutgers, and Texas A&amp;M have shown that <a href="https://ucmweb.rutgers.edu/magazine/archive1013/departments/spring-2010/insights/flower-power" target="_blank" rel="noopener">flowers can make people happier, promote feelings of compassion, and improve energy</a>. This study went on to state that flowers also have the ability to induce immediate feelings of happiness and delight, promote long-term mood-boosting effects, and <a href="https://www.jacksonville.com/news/20181011/unf-professors-study-indicates-flower-reduce-stress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reduce feelings of depression, anxiety, and agitation</a>.

<p>The sight of flowers makes us smile, and the <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/health-benefits-flowers_b_2992014" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scent of flowers can make us relax and less anxious</a>, too.

This is an exciting time in their life. Students begin to exert their independence, gain responsibility and spread their wings. We want to support and encourage their effort. But, we also want to make sure theyre well provided for and prepared for what lies ahead. Setting them up for success can be done in many ways. That's why the designers at <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/back-to-school-flowers-los-angeles-ca/">French Florist</a> have compiled a list of college survival kit essentials- items students may not even realize they need. Think about sending some of these to your student during the first week of classes. That way, youll help them know how much you care and have an excellent fall semester.</span></p>
<p><span id="more-1370"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Comforter &amp; Linens</strong> Sometimes a favorite pillow or homemade quilt is just enough to make a student feel the connection to home. While they don't sleep much in college, trust that when they do, theyre wrapped in warm fuzzy thoughts of home.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Desk Organizer</strong> With precious little space to live and work, staying organized is imperative. Help students keep all of their office supplies straight with a desk organizer for inside drawers or atop their student desk.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Portable Chargers</strong> With so many portable electronics students rely on, it's important to keep things charged up. A portable charger will do just that for their laptop, tablet or cell phone. Help them stay connected everywhere they go with a portable charger.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Coffee Maker </strong>Be sure theyre wide-awake and alert for their very first class when you send a coffee maker with all of the accessories: flavored creamers, a variety of syrups and even a cool travel mug to take to class. Set them up for success from the minute they wake up.</span></p>

<p><strong>Warm Thoughts From Home</strong> Students love receiving gifts, packages and deliveries. Send a piece of your heart when you have a beautiful floral bouquet delivered right to their dormitory.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Send a compact, space-sensitive floral design like our <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/flower-cluster-arrangement-los-angeles-ca/">Flower Cluster</a>. This leaf-wrapped cube vase arrives with lavender roses, purple asters, purple iris, white carnations and green button poms mingling within.

<p>A hand-picked <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/anniversary/los-angeles-flower-orchid-phalaenopsis/">Dressed Up Phalaeopsis Orchid</a> will arrives in a stone container to dress up any dorm room with style and elegance. Added succulents and plant leaves create an inspiring work of art your student will enjoy all semester long.</p>

<h3>Fertility</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The ancient Greeks were the first to connect orchids with fertility and virility. As the word orchid comes from the Greek word orchis, meaning 'testicles, it describes this flowering plant's appearance. Orchid roots were also used in ancient Greece to help control or predict the gender of babies. Throughout history, orchids remained a symbol of fertility, especially pink orchids. Aside from being a wonderful gift to celebrate growing families, orchids are commonly displayed in homes and offices in Japan as they are believed to bring fertility or good fortune in Japanese culture. </span></p>

Throughout the ages, blue orchids and white orchids also became specific symbols of rarity, uniqueness, elegance, and of course, beauty. These flowers are a wonderful gesture to give to those who are seen as beautiful, both inside and out in their own unique way.&nbsp;</span></p>

MAKE IT AN EDUCATED GIFT THIS YEAR FOR THE TEACHER

Christmas

<div class="entry-content bla">
<p><a href="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/11/5e34a302-d450-11e7-8607-ecf4bbcecf12.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1122" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/11/5e34a302-d450-11e7-8607-ecf4bbcecf12.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="348" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/11/5e34a302-d450-11e7-8607-ecf4bbcecf12.jpg 700w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/11/5e34a302-d450-11e7-8607-ecf4bbcecf12-300x149.jpg 300w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/11/5e34a302-d450-11e7-8607-ecf4bbcecf12-500x249.jpg 500w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px"></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>

Here in the states, we have Santa Claus, elves, presents, and large feasts, while other countries have Christmas customs that are wildly different.&nbsp;</span></p>

<h3><strong>The Philippines  Giant Lanterns</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Each December, Filipinos in the city of San Fernando celebrate Christmas with the Giant Lantern Festival. Giant lanterns illuminated by light and decorated with brightly colored elaborate designs are built by several surrounding communities in a friendly competition to create the most extravagant lantern. Light is symbolic to the Filipinos and this beautiful festival symbolizes hope and love through the holiday season.&nbsp;</span></p>

<h3><strong>Ukraine  Spider Webs in the Tree</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A popular tradition in Ukraine is to decorate their Christmas tree with fake spiders and spider webs. Stemming from an old legend about a poor woman whose children were upset because they didn't have any money to buy decorations for their tree, the spiders in the home spun intricate and decorative webs across the tree while the family slept. On Christmas morning, the children awoke to find a beautifully decorated tree that glistened silver and gold in the morning light. Since then, spiders have been considered a sign of good luck and fortune.&nbsp;</span></p>
<div id="attachment_1321" style="width: 460px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1321" loading="lazy" class="size-best wp-image-1321" src="https://conklyns.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2020/12/KFC-Japan-Santa-450x322.jpg" alt="KFC Japan Santa" width="450" height="322"><p id="caption-attachment-1321" class="wp-caption-text">KFC Japan Santa</p></div>
<h3><strong>Japan  KFC Christmas Dinner</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Families in Japan have been enjoying KFC chicken for their Christmas dinner since 1974 when a very successful marketing campaign promoted a bucket of the Colonel's golden fried best as the perfect Christmas meal. This tradition has really gained steam as more than 3.6 million people enjoy fried chicken on December 25th in Japan. Orders must be put in months in advance.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_1322" style="width: 460px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1322" loading="lazy" class="size-best wp-image-1322" src="https://conklyns.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2020/12/Boots-with-Carrots-450x322.jpg" alt="Boots with Carrots in them" width="450" height="322"><p id="caption-attachment-1322" class="wp-caption-text">Boots with Carrots</p></div>
<h3><strong>Germany  Boots by the Door</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Christmas is very big in Germany and they have many traditions across the country. One of the more popular ones is for kids to place their cleanest, nicest pair of boots outside their bedroom door on December 5th, the night before St. Nicholas's arrival. In the morning when they wake, they will find their boots stuffed with candy, nuts, and small gifts.&nbsp;</span></p>
<div id="attachment_1323" style="width: 460px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1323" loading="lazy" class="size-best wp-image-1323" src="https://conklyns.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2020/12/Krampus-450x321.jpg" alt="parade of men dressed as Krampus" width="450" height="321"><p id="caption-attachment-1323" class="wp-caption-text">Krampus</p></div>
<h3><strong>Austria  Krampus</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The biggest Christmas tradition in Austria is to dress up as Krampus rattling chains and clanking bells to terrify children who have been naughty. Based on an old pre-Christian myth, Krampus is a goat-like demon who wanders the streets looking for children who misbehave and stuffing them in his sack to whisk them down into Hell. Each year across Austria men dress as Krampus and walk in parades down city streets.&nbsp;</span></p>
<div id="attachment_1324" style="width: 460px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1324" loading="lazy" class="size-best wp-image-1324" src="https://conklyns.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2020/12/La-Befana-450x322.jpg" alt="Christmas Witch" width="450" height="322"><p id="caption-attachment-1324" class="wp-caption-text">La Befana</p></div>
<h3><strong>Italy  La Befana</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of Italy's more unique Christmas traditions comes in the form of a witch, Le Befana. A tale that dates back to the 13th Century, Le Befana will ride her broom down your chimney to leave presents for well-behaved children who leave food and wine for her. Her visits take place after Christmas though, on January 5th, Eve of the Epiphany.&nbsp;</span></p>
<div id="attachment_1325" style="width: 460px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1325" loading="lazy" class="size-best wp-image-1325" src="https://conklyns.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2020/12/Yule-Lads-Photo-by-guidetoiceland.is_-450x322.jpg" alt="13 Yule Lads - Photo by guidetoiceland.is" width="450" height="322"><p id="caption-attachment-1325" class="wp-caption-text">Yule Lads  Photo by guidetoiceland.is</p></div>
<h3><strong>Iceland  Yule Lads</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the 13 nights leading up to Christmas, each child in Iceland is visited by each of the troll-like tricksters called the Yule Lads. Wreaking harmless chaos across the land, these tricksters will leave candy in the shoes of kids who have been well-behaved and leave rotting potatoes for those kids who have not. With names like 'sausage-Swiper, Door-Slammer, and Pot-Scraper, these lads have tons of fun.&nbsp;</span></p>
<div id="attachment_1326" style="width: 460px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1326" loading="lazy" class="size-best wp-image-1326" src="https://conklyns.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2020/12/Christmas-Cracker-450x322.jpg" alt="Christmas Cracker on plate" width="450" height="322"><p id="caption-attachment-1326" class="wp-caption-text">Christmas Cracker</p></div>
<h3><strong>England  Christmas Crackers</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Christmas in England is very similar to Christmas in the states with one tradition that hasn't caught on here yet which are Christmas crackers. Placed by everyone's plate during the Christmas meal, crackers are paper tubes wrapped in Christmas paper with a tab at each end. When the tabs are pulled apart, a large cracking sound will be heard as confetti, candy, and little trinkets fall out. Oftentimes, riddles and jokes are included as well as a paper hat which must be worn by everyone while eating dinner.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p>Administrative Professionals Day is a time for employers across the U.S. to show appreciation for the staff members that help support the effective functioning of the office. However, it's also a time when you can take stock of your own work space and make improvements. The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a>&nbsp;reminds you to that a little Desktop Awareness can go a long way in creating a better work environment.</p>
<p><span id="more-1176"></span>A lighter, brighter work space can do wonders for your creativity and focus, and few things can brighten up a room like flowers. To bring in the vibe of Spring, consider adding a bouquet of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/muti-colored-tulips-los-angelses/">multi-colored tulips</a>&nbsp;to your desk. Or, you might prefer a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/easter/gerber-daisies-roses/">mixed bouquet</a>&nbsp;of lively blooms to help bring more variety to your work area.</p>

BRIGHTEN UP YOUR DESK FOR ADMINISTRATIVE PROFESSIONALS DAY

4th of July

<div class="entry-content bla">
<p style="color: #333333;">The fourth of July is one of the biggest holidays of the year in America, for obvious reasons. While it's clearly about American Independence, historically from the British colonialists in 1776 and from work for that long weekend, the fourth is also about colors, be it red, white and blue, or the multitude of colors that explode in the sky with the evening fireworks displays. It's also why flowers are the perfect gift for the 4<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;of July occasion, as they reflect the colorful celebration that is synonymous with the yearly summer holiday.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">There are obviously a wide variety of incredibly colorful and exotic flowers which can be included in a gift arrangement on the 4<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;of July, which will garner as much, if not more attention as an impressive fireworks display.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">For example, we have&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/2579">A Fireworks Basket!</a> arrangement which features flowers of all sizes, regions and colors that literally explode out of the basket in front of you. Contained in this eye catching display is an eclectic collection of flowers which are tropical, local to Southern California and exotic, artfully displayed in a custom basket. Flowers included can range from orchids to bromeliads to roses and azaleas, all chosen based on how their attractive colors blend together and really make this basket stand out wherever it is displayed.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">These Fireworks Baskets&nbsp;have&nbsp;the most diverse and elaborate display of explosively exotic flowers that could be gathered together.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">This <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/2579">Fireworks Basket</a> is an excellent gift to bring to a party that is being thrown on the 4<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;of July, where you will be spending the day and evening in lieu of an actual fireworks show.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">Or it's a great gift the day before the 4<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;of July, so it can be used to decorate the buffet table or the entry way of the party location, welcoming every guest to the party.</p>
