Make the gifting season a blessing with the help of flower power professionals, Floristique. If you're stressing on finding that perfect present in these times, you'll be surprised to know that flowers make lovely gifts this festive period. While Christmas is the season of celebration and giving, it's also a reflective period for some. Before the new year kicks off, let bygones be bygones and make your peace – through the language of flowers. The team at Floristique truly believes in the art of flower symbolism – also known as floriography – and since we're in the mood of giving (and forgiving) at Christmas, there's a bouquet on the catalogue that can help you best convey any emotions or feelings you have. Let's get pickin'.

Customise your order

From blooms that best convey how sorry you are to flower baskets you could gift someone you want to forgive, make gifting easier by shopping for flowers according to the occasion, budget and flower type. Starting from $29.90, you can customise your order by choosing the bouquet size and other add-ons like fairy lights, vases, chocolates or hamper items to complete the delivery.

Say 'I love you' with a bouquet

Getting flowers for someone special to express your love will never grow old. Move away from the predictable dozen red roses and choose the beautifully arranged Euphoria (from $49.90) bouquet -  put together with a refreshing mix of pastel roses, carnations and eustomas. While roses (which traditionally symbolise love) are included in the mix, the addition of carnations, which is symbolic to fascination, love and affection, and eustomas that represent deep respect, make the bouquet a romantically all-rounded one.

Celebrate new beginnings

2020 was a tough year for most of us. Look forward to a fresh start or new beginnings with the Cecilia (from $59.90). Find an assortment of fresh tulips in the bouquet – which can represent peace and forgiveness. Put the past behind with someone you wish to forgive or seek forgiveness from, and begin the upcoming new year with hope – and beautiful blooms.

Surprise your mum with a bunch

Can't figure out which flowers to send your mother? How about a bunch of elegant Calla lilies. Shop by flowers on the Floristique site and check out a variety of bouquets which prominently feature the Calla lily. Not only do Calla lilies look sophisticated and majestic, but they also represent good intentions. With prices starting at $49.90, you can opt for the modest Swan, or indulge mum with the more extravagant Ladonna (from $69.90). 

Deliver sunshine to someone

If you're thinking of bringing some cheer and good vibes to someone, you'll never go wrong with sunflowers. With bright yellow petals that resemble the sun, these flowers make it the most versatile gift to anyone. Besides being an instant mood booster, the cheery sunflower also symbolises loyalty, longevity, happiness and deep adoration. Floristique has a wide range of sunflower bouquets on the site. The rustic-looking Madison (from $49.90) is a safe pick but if you're looking for something more showstopping, settle on the Sabrina (from $129.90) which includes spray roses and eustomas.
