Sending Blooms of Gratitude to Friends, Family, and More


Whether it’s Thanksgiving, Christmas, or just a Wednesday, there are always heroes in our lives who deserve a big ol’ “thank you!” From the friend who saved your turkey to the coworker who tackled the coffee run on a snow day, fresh flowers are a beautiful way to say, “I’m so grateful for you.” Forget the text—give them something vibrant and meaningful! At Flowers by Mike, the top florist in Oceanside & East Rockaway, we’ve got symbolic blooms to match every heartfelt “you’re amazing!” moment. Because gratitude should be as special as the people you’re thankful for.

Host & Hostess Gifts

Showing up to Thanksgiving or Christmas without a gift? Not on your watch! Instead, stroll in with a dazzling floral centerpiece that’ll make your host feel like the holiday superstar they are. For Thanksgiving, chrysanthemums are your MVP with their rich fall colors that perfectly pair with a golden turkey and pumpkin pie. Anthuriums, known for symbolizing hospitality, are a perfect “thank you for putting all of this together and inviting us!” And when Christmas hits, poinsettias are a no-brainer with their classic red petals that sing, “FA LA LA LA LA!”

Mentors Who Make a Difference

Teachers and mentors, both in and outside the family, are some of the most important people in your story. They’re the ones who help you figure out life’s big picture and are always there to offer a word of advice. To thank them for their wisdom and guidance, go with irises. These flowers are like a badge of honor for knowledge and wisdom. And to really amp up the gratitude, add in some pink roses, the ultimate symbol of appreciation and positivity.

Being There in Pivotal Moments

The family and friends who stand by us through thick and thin can honestly be described as lifesavers! They’re the ones we lean on for advice, comfort, and all the good laughs — even when we’re not feeling up for laughing. When you’re ready to show them some love, hydrangeas are the way to go. These soft, fluffy flowers are like a big floral hug, sending all the “I appreciate you” feels and heartfelt emotions. You can’t go wrong with snapdragons either! They’re perfect for adding a touch of strength and grace — because who doesn’t need a bit of that in their corner?

Going Above and Beyond

They didn’t have to pull out all the stops, but they did—and you’re eternally grateful! Flowers are the perfect way to say, “I’m so grateful for you,” especially yellow lilies. They’re like little rays of joy and gratitude, just right for the friends who always do the most. Sunflowers (another excellent pick) are the ultimate symbol of happiness and positivity, standing tall and proud just like the ones who always know how to show up.

Thanking Bosses and Coworkers

You totally nailed that project group together (teamwork goals)! Now, it’s time to up your “thank you” game. Gratitude not only lifts the vibes of an office but brings a little extra flair, color, and inspiration! Orchids are elegance personified—symbolizing charm and beauty, just like the energy you brought to the project. Succulents are the perfect symbol of your strength, endurance, and resilience as a team, with a sprinkle of selflessness thrown in.

Flowers are fresh, fun, and packed with positive energy, hitting all the right notes. Let Flowers by Mike help you thank those special people with a custom gift made just for them.
