Creative Student Dorm Room Ideas

Posted on July 17, 2017 by peoplesflowers

Summer is almost over and school will soon be in session. For college students, that means heading off to campus life and dorm living. If you have a student leaving soon for college, we have some dorm room ideas for you to consider. Leaving them with a housewarming gift will bring a smile to their face long after you’ve returned home. The designers at Peoples Flowers have great gift ideas for students- give us a call!

When you think about stylish and fun gifts for college students, consider dorm room ideas that will keep your student energized, healthy and focused – while brightening and freshening their dorm room at the same time. Floral and plant arrangements with plenty of green foliage are a great option.

Green plants are proven to purify the air, plus they energize and de-stress people sharing a room with them. Give your student a fresh gift to inspire them all semester long! The Succulent Garden, shown above, is easy to care for and only takes up a small amount of space. But the benefits to your student and his dorm room are extensive.

Or,perhaps your student would love some sustenance for those late-night study sessions. Snacks and candy are a great pick-me-up for students who may need a nosh between classes or while doing homework. The Survival Kit, featured above, is full of tasty treats to share with friends and roommates.

Whatever you choose to do for your college student, they are sure to know how proud you are of them. Peoples Flower Shops are ready to work with you to create an excellent arrangement or gift for your college student. Whether your student is going to school in the Albuquerque area or across the country, we’ve got everything you need to make them feel at home.

Teacher Gifts to Begin the School Year

Posted on July 28, 2016 by peoplesflowers

Very often we give teacher gifts at the end of a long school year. It seems only fitting, after all, to reward hard working educators for successfully making it all the way through – teaching is not an easy job! But knowing how much effort and dedication that they exhibit every day, we think that teacher gifts should be given at the beginning of the year. This thoughtful gesture will convey your appreciation, support, and encouragement.

This late summer flower arrangement is just one of our back to school teacher gifts. Rustic and natural, this design is suited well for the teacher’s desk, or for them to bring home to adorn their own decor. Either way, the beautiful bouquet looks back just one last time at summer before we move forward into the new year.

Most people agree that one of the best ways to unwind after a long day is to put your feet up and light a scented candle. We have a wide selection of WoodWick and Bridgewater candles that are sure to bring soothing relaxation after a long day in the classroom.

We recommend sending these delicious teacher gifts before the children even return to school. As teachers, administrators and staff put final touches on their preparations for the first day of school, our gourmet gift baskets will be the hit of the teacher’s lounge! Choose from meats and cheeses, fruits or chocolate – but make sure there is enough to share. Not only will you get their school year off to a great start, but you just may be the favorite parent this year. Simply choose your basket, and we’ll make sure it gets there.

With school starting in Albuquerque in the next few weeks, now is the time to order. We love the idea of bringing a smile to the faces of these committed professionals who invest so much of themselves into our children. How can we help you to say thank you?

Back to School Gifts and Flowers

Posted on August 3, 2015 by peoplesflowers

It is hard to believe that the summer is half over for school and college kids. While the kids may not want to think about going back to school yet, parents will certainly be concerned about everything from getting their college age kids off to school with everything they need, and making sure that the kids still at home are prepared for school. Sometimes schools have open houses so that parents can get to meet their children’s teachers. We think that it’s important to recognize the things that students may worry about when returning to school, and show their kids’ teachers or guidance counselors, their gratitude. All of us at People’s Flowers believe that regardless of the message you want to convey, “Flowers say it all.”

We hope you agree with our belief that the school year will start out with a huge bang when you give flowers and gifts. We have some suggestions that we hope will inspire or help you as you shop for back to school gifts for the important people in your life, and in your child’s life.

Cyclamen

Your child’s teacher will appreciate your kindness when you present him or her with a Cyclamen plant. This lush flowering plant has dark green heart-shaped leaves that have silver markings near the edge of each leaf. The flowers have five petals that resemble the wings of a butterfly. The plant has flowers in a variety of colors including deep pink, lavender, red, white, and a bi-colored variety whose flowers have a darker colored circle at the center of the petals.

Bromeliad Plant

A Bromeliad Plant will brighten any dorm or bedroom, classroom or living space. This dramatic tropical plant looks very exotic. These plants are often found in tropical rainforests. When you want a plant that doesn’t require a lot of care, but yields huge rewards, while leaving a lasting impression on the person who receives it, you can’t go wrong with a beautiful Bromeliad. They come in a variety of colors, depending on what is available when you buy it.

Survival Kit

If you have a child who is away at college, you can really surprise them and give them something they’ll appreciate when you send our Survival Kit. A care package that is full of his or her favorite treats will earn you a grade of A+. The basket is filled with sodas, chips, cookies, candy, and popcorn. Any college kid will be thrilled to receive a care package that will help them keep up their energy during late night study sessions.
