Plants and Flowers That Make Great Gifts. There are so many general benefits to plants, both psychological and physical. These include increases in work productivity and office morale, mood improvement, and even speeding up the process of healing and boosting pain tolerance. But some plants and flowers add several more specific strengths of their own that can be tailored to the people you’re giving them to. Here are just a couple:
The smell of gardenias can make you tired - in one study it was even as effective as valium on GABA, a neurotransmitter in the brain that helps to regulate behavior, cognition, and the body's response to stress, and the scent of jasmine helps to soothe anxiety and your central nervous system. Lavender takes these effects and adds a decrease in the amount of time it takes to wake up in the morning.
Sleep can tie pretty heavily into air quality. Aloe vera, bromeliads, and snake plants emit large amounts of oxygen during the night, which combats insomnia and can help clear ‘stuffiness’ in a room. Areca palms, bamboo palms, and peace lilies are natural humidifiers -
The moisture from a peace lily’s leaves can improve humidity up to 5%, which can help those who suffer from allergies and cold symptoms. but Other plants and flowers that filter toxins from the air are English ivy, anthuriums, Gerber daisies, and chrysanthemums. You can pair these different qualities with messages for the receiver as well. Gerber daises can symbolize loyal love;
lavender is devotion; peace lilies send sympathy; jasmine in the United States is a sign of romance. There are so many layers of meaning that can come with giving flowers or plants as a gift,
far beyond just brightening a room and looking pretty (though those are, of course, benefits in their own right!) If you’re stuck on ideas, So you can never go wrong with offering these or any of their fellows!
Here are a few starters for you:
Best Flower Delivery Gifts- I don’t need to explain why these past two years have been hard on everyone. We already know. We’ve all already experienced the quarantine hours, isolation, changes to workflow, and new social norms. And you may still be feeling just as stressed and overwhelmed as in the beginning! Or maybe you know a health care worker, teacher, friend,
or loved one who needs a bit of praise, gratitude, and personal celebration.
What better way to honor them, in a socially safe yet personal manner, than with a delivery gift of live, fragrant, and fresh flowers?
Fortunately, at NBU Flowers, we’ve got you covered when it comes to the best flower delivery gifts. First, you can directly browse our site for beautiful and fresh bouquets ready for next-day delivery, such as these beautiful pink roses for a wonderful teacher or new mother,

Secondly, you can find your best local florists, with their own personalized flower delivery gifts, using our Find Your Florist store locator tool. This allows you to not only bring joy to the gift recipient,

You wouldn’t ever expect to find a place like this inside the city limits of a place like Boise, but it’s definitely a welcome surprise! Dream Farm Flowers went from unkempt horse pasture to an incredible urban cutting garden - a flower farm. This family-run business grows all their own flowers, and they use those flowers to create beautiful bouquets to deliver locally, to design florals for events, put on floral workshops, and to help consumers create their own cutting gardens. They’ve recognized both locally and state-wide, and even honored by the 2016 Idaho Botanical Gardens’ Private Garden Tour, and they give back to the community by donating to local non-profits.
Dream Farm Flowers is very dedicated to the environment and sustainable practices. They support the #nofloralfoam movement, which aims to reduce usage of floral foam, or Oasis, in floral design -
Oasis is a plastic product that is not truly biodegradable (yes, not even the brands that claim to be so) nor reusable, and #nofloralfoam works to promote alternative techniques and products that are less damaging. Another example of their commitment to sustainability is their position with the Slow Flowers Movement, which aims to grow healthy, seasonal flowers in their native regions and reduce the environmental impact of the floral industry. Dream Farm Flowers puts their money where their mouth is by using methods such as crop rotation,
biological pest control, and the use of organic fertilizers and soils. Their work is gorgeous (just take a look at the photos on their website!)
and their mission is admirable - So I don’t think I’ve ever heard or seen a single complaint about them. I highly recommend visiting if you happen to be in the Boise area.
