Why do flowers make a good Christmas gift?
Whether your gift is for a cherished loved one or a valued employee, flowers are always stunning, bringing warmth and festive cheer to the chilly winter months.
4 reasons why flowers make an excellent corporate Christmas present:
1. Flowers trigger feelings of happiness
Flowers have an immediate effect on how happy we feel. Research from the University of Jersey has shown that all subjects in a study showed signs of immediate and genuine joy when they received flowers (source: alive.dk).
2. Flowers reduce stress and anxiety
Flowers positively affect the mood and mind. In the study above, a group of people were followed for 10 months who were allowed to live both with and without flowers. When the subjects were allowed to live with flowers, they felt less stressed, tense, and restless. On the whole, they expressed a higher degree of satisfaction and joy in life when they had flowers and potted plants at home. Interestingly, these positive feelings persisted over time.
3. Closer relationships
Giving flowers is the perfect way to get closer to your network of employees and connections. Flowers create a bond between the giver and the recipient.
4. You will be remembered
When you send beautiful flowers, the recipient will think of you every time they admire them. Add a personal greeting to your gift to make it extra special.
