Say It with Petals: When to Give Flowers to Express Heartfelt Thanks


Gratitude practices are blowing up right now, and honestly, it makes sense. They remind us to appreciate the amazing things we’ve got — most notably the awesome people! We mean your coworkers who help you slay it at the office (seriously, couldn’t do it without them) and the helpful mentors who helped you glow up into your best self. Oh, and of course, a big thanks is due to the Christmas and Thanksgiving hosts who bring that next-level hospitality. At Kittelberger Florist in Webster, New York, we know that flowers are hands down the best way to say “thank you,” so here’s the tea!

Host & Hostess Gifts

Got an invite to a Christmas gathering, Thanksgiving feast, or other holiday bash? Level up your guest game by bringing some fresh blossoms to your awesome hosts! A beautiful holiday centerpiece will definitely earn you major points. Poinsettias are the OG Christmas classic, never missing the mark. If you’re channeling a Thanksgiving mood, chrysanthemums are the autumn queens. Or, if you’re feeling bold, anthuriums are the tropical flex that high-key say “thanks for the epic hospitality.”

Mentors Who Make a Difference

Can you imagine making it to graduation without your mentors? They’ve been there since the start, helping us find our path. No way we’d get this far without our amazing teachers! The perfect flower to shout out these wise owls? Irises, hands down; they’re the symbol of sagely knowledge, and we absolutely love them. Want something more classic but still full of love? Pink roses are the way to go — they get the appreciation spirit just right.

Being There in Pivotal Moments

Your tribe, your crew, your ride-or-dies — blood or not, you know who your people are. They’re the ones you run to for support, wise words, or just a feel-good hug. So when it’s time to give back and show them the realest love, hydrangeas are clutch. These blooms are full of heart and gratitude — and, let’s be honest, they look amazing! Snapdragons also come in handy, repping grace and strength, because who doesn’t need more of that?

Going Above and Beyond

There’s nothing more humbling than how you feel when your bestie or fam goes out of their way for you. It’s one of those moments that hits right in the feels and makes you wanna show them some major love in return. Yellow lilies? They’ve got that gratitude vibe on lock (it’s what they represent) and a gorgeous bold color. And sunflowers? They’re all about bringing that positive energy and joy, just like your ride-or-dies do for you!

Thanking Bosses and Coworkers

Celebrating a big win at work hits different, especially when it’s a full team collab that took things to the next level (woo!). Give a shout-out to that amazing teamwork with something high-key beautiful that everyone’s gonna love. Orchids? Totally posh — the perfect mix of being pretty and symbolizing thoughtfulness. And if you wanna highlight the squad’s resilience and keep-it-going spirit, succulents are the real MVPs for this moment.

Flowers bring all the fresh, fun energy to the table! Let Kittelberger Florist help you craft the perfect gift to show appreciation to those who’ve earned it and then some.
