Ideas for Christmas gift flowers

We often think that flower deliveries for Christmas have to be bouquets, arrangements or wreaths. However, Christmas isn’t just the season to be jolly, ‘tis the season to be inventive in our gift delivery too! If you’d like to treat a loved one to a Christmas flower delivery that’s just that bit different and exciting, here’s some flower delivery ideas sure to surprise and delight.

Amaryllis

Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without an amaryllis plant. Make this a must-buy on your delivery list to give a loved one - or yourself. With sensationally-colored flowers varying from white to red, amaryllis is considered one of the best Christmas flowers. This isn’t just because of its festively-colored petals but also the fact it is one of the easiest plants to grow indoors (even in winter!).

LivelyRoot has a fantastic selection of amaryllis plants that would make for the perfect Xmas flower delivery. Choose from the salmon-striped vibrancy of the Double Flowering Dancing Queen Premium bulbs or the snowy white beauty of Marilyn Iconic Double White Flower Bulbs. Both of these Christmas flower bulbs are for sale at $50 each and, given that amaryllis Christmas flowers can last for several decades when properly cared for, this is a great-value gift that will spread festive cheer for many years.

Paperwhites

Another flower that can trump a Christmas bouquet delivery is the elegant paperwhite. Impossibly easy to grow (and satisfying to watch as they spring up so quickly!), paperwhite bulbs or a pre-grown plant make for a delightfully creative surprise Christmas delivery. 

Paperwhites are the perfect festive flower as their dainty and snow-white flowers, perched atop delicate stems, can work as a simple but elegant table centerpiece, a stunning adornment for a mantelpiece, or be the crowning glory of your Christmas dining table.

They can also be grown in glass vases over water, creating another element to add drama and originality to your Christmas decorations. Turn your paperwhites into a jaw-dropping centerpiece by shopping Plants.com’s range of glassware, vases, and accessories here.

Succulents

Want to avoid a flower delivery altogether? Why not go all out and gift a Christmas cactus delivery instead? Cacti and succulents make for a wonderful Christmas present as their low-maintenance nature means they will be sure to survive the post-Christmas blues, bringing vibrancy and joy to a home for years afterwards! 

Unlike other Christmas flowers online, a cactus will continue to thrive well into the New Year as well as make for an interesting take on festive arrangements. Find your perfect cactus at LivelyRoot or Plants.com - you’ll be spoiled for choice with both!

Now you’ve got some tricks up your Christmas jumper sleeve, there’s nothing to stop you from creating a floral Winter Wonderland in your dining room, living room, or even just your bedroom. Take the stress out of your Christmas preparations and order your festive blooms online this year instead. You won’t regret it!
