Before electricity and central heating were common comforts, couples moving into a home would host a gathering of friends and neighbors with one goal in mind – collecting gifts of firewood. The firewood was necessary to keep their homes warm during their first winter, making these parties literal “housewarmings”.  As progress happened and amenities were modernized, these get-togethers eventually evolved into opportunities for family and friends to congratulate their loved ones on the purchase of a new residence – or for people to make a new family in their midst feel at home.

Peoples Flowers has floral designs, flowering baskets and green plants that are guaranteed to warm the hearts of anyone who receives them. 

Gerbera daisies are cheerful, bright, and the perfect accent to any room. Friendly and welcoming ,a bouquet of daisies is a lighthearted gift they will love.

One of our favorite recommendations for housewarming gifts is the orchid. Their delicate, simple aesthetic blends into any home decor, adding a touch of elegance and beauty. Orchids are long lasting, and love the heat and humidity. They are perfect for sunrooms and kitchen windowsills, as long as their petals are misted occasionally.

Green plants make the perfect housewarming gifts, as they not only add a lush decorative touch, but they help to keep the air pure and clean. We also love the idea of giving succulents to your new neighbors – their unique look and diverse varieties guarantee that they will become a focal point of conversation, while being low maintenance enough to remain beautiful for months. We encourage you to stop by and speak to us about the succulent varieties we have in store! Housewarming parties may no longer involve keeping the house warm, but here in Albuquerque we still love to welcome our new arrivals with warmth and hospitality. Call Peoples Flowers, or simply drop by – we would love to say hello and to help you to choose a thoughtful gift that will leave a lasting impression.
