November is about spending time with family and expressing our gratitude. From Veterans Day to Thanksgiving, this month is packed with reasons to spread love and kindness.
Do you have friends or family members in your life that you haven’t kept in close touch with? Remember the important people in your life and remind them that you care. A trip across the country isn’t always possible, but sending your love always is! A surprise flower arrangement will warm their heart and make them feel special.
Decorating for the holidays is always a fun idea but it requires so much time and energy. First, numerous hours (and dollars) are spent at the store searching for the right decorations. Then more time is used figuring out where to display the new finds and getting everything set up. Then as soon as the holiday is over, everything gets put away into boxes and stored until next year.
Of course you want your home to look festive, but surely there is an easier way.
That’s why more people are choosing to order fun flower arrangements instead. Ordering a few festive arrangements takes two minutes and they are delivered right to your house!
You can choose fall themed arrangements, Halloween themed arrangements, or go with colors that match your current home decor. A festive arrangement makes the perfect centerpiece for a kitchen or dining room table. Order multiple arrangements and display them on your mantle, coffee table, decorative shelves and kitchen counters.
Don’t put yourself through the daunting task of decorating your home for the holidays. Call a local florist near you. They are experts at design and can create exactly what you are looking for!

Kingston and others distributed candy and small gifts to orphans, people confined to their homes and others to show them that someone cared.
In the early 1930s, movie stars got into the act. Ann Pennington distributed candy to 2,200 Cleveland newspaper boys, and Theda Bara gave candy to theater-goers and patients in Cleveland hospitals.
