Make Your Secret Santa Gift The Happiest

Secret Santa is a popular gift swap in a work setting or amongst a group of friends, and for good reason. The cloak of anonymity on the part of the giver lends a lot of anticipation and just plain fun to the exchange. When everyone finally gets their gifts, it's a riot to try to figure out who gave what to whom. On the other hand, Secret Santa can lead to a lot of gimmicky gift choices, a fate we here at Gordon Boswell would love to help you avoid this year.

Deck the Office Halls with Poinsettias

It's the most wonderful time of the year . . . for poinsettias! This winter-blooming plant is all the rage when holiday time hits because of its classic Christmas color palette, true red against perfect green leaves. But this beauty is available in lots of colors, including white, pink and even orange. What makes the red version so coveted when it comes to workplace decor is that most businesses and offices desperately need holiday color but have a lot of open space, too. Clusters of poinsettias cover some of that ground and make a huge impact, all with little effort on the part of you and your colleagues. Read More about Deck the Office Halls with Poinsettias »

Grace Your Tables With Thanksgiving Centerpieces

If you're hosting Thanksgiving this year, it's time to start dressing that table - and we don't mean with food. Among the heritage linens and heirloom china, another classic bit of decor awaits its moment in the spotlight: a floral centerpiece. Whether you go grand and lavish or sweet and simple, your Thanksgiving table's centerpiece reflects the mood you want to set. Flowers put at the heart of a table are meant to be looked at, remarked over and enjoyed for the rest of the meal. They have to be of a scale that conversation can easily happen over them; visually arresting but not too distracting. In short, centerpieces are major players in our experience of Thanksgiving.

Graceful Gifts for the Host

Are you ready for Thanksgiving? Your answer may fall somewhere between "not remotely" and "absolutely," and if so, you wouldn't be alone. There is so much planning, preparing and execution to be done if you're hosting Turkey Day in your home that it's tough to feel completely prepared. But what if you've been graciously invited into someone else's home for the big day? If that's the case, we here at Gordon Boswell Flowers encourage you to remember one of your most important duties as a Thanksgiving guest: the host gift.

Veterans Day Flowers for Heroes

  Veterans Day is an especially important day here in Fort Worth because we have so many brave former U.S. military in our community, among them survivors of Pearl Harbor and others who served in WWII. We have many to honor and to thank, which is why Fort Worth's parades and observations are so important to attend. It's equally meaningful to extend our gratitude through the gift of flowers, and here at Gordon Boswell, we're invested in helping you do just that.  Read More about Veterans Day Flowers for Heroes »

Floral Acts of Kindness on Sweetest Day

Do you celebrate Sweetest Day? The holiday, which began 100 years ago in Cleveland, has primarily been observed in the Midwest over the years, although recently it is gaining traction across the United States. The first Sweetest Day involved several executives of local candy companies banding together to give chocolates and other candies to orphans and shut-ins; throughout the years, it has become a wonderful opportunity to share love and support with anyone who may need encouragement. Gordon Boswell Flowers & Gifts is your premiere source of floral designs and bouquets in Baton Rouge - and they are guaranteed to lift spirits! Did You Know? Although Sweetest Day was not established as a romantic holiday, it is estimated that 75% of the gifts exchanged are between couples.  Read More about Floral Acts of Kindness on Sweetest Day »
