The custom of Christmas gifts is a very old tradition that we continue to practice. Beyond the custom, it is a way to express our feelings towards our loved ones. Especially this year, because of the pandemic we decided to stay away from, above all, parents and grandparents to take care of them.
That is why we want to find a way to be close to them through a gift that expresses all our love, shortening the distances.
It could be that we also have friends living abroad and we want to send a detail that reminds them that, no matter the kilometers, we will always be present.
But… What can you give to shorten the distance? What gifts can you give at home? Or maybe your question is… What should I give my boyfriend? Or… What do I give my girlfriend? You’re looking for a gift full of feelings that excites.
For all those questions we will give you answers in this article.
As the context changes, so does our way of giving. That is why we believe that, especially this year, giving flowers is an excellent option to cheer up the loved ones we miss so much and we want them to feel all our affection towards them.
Why give flowers at Christmas?
In a year where distance was the best way to take care of our family and friends, flowers arrive as an amazing gift that transmits all our accumulated emotions during the last time that, not being able to see them to give them a hug, was more difficult to express. It is a detail that can even make the person who receives them feel immense happiness.
It’s a way to turn a routine week into an extraordinary week. Because the flowers arrive to brighten up the home and leave an indelible memory for the emotions felt when receiving them. It is such a nice feeling to receive a bouquet of flowers that people usually remember it for life.
In addition, it is a Christmas gift that continues to care for our loved ones thanks to all the health benefits of flowers. There are people who also enjoy talking to them, making them a company.
On the other hand, it is a decorative gift that brightens up environments by helping to keep people more optimistic.
But it is also true that sometimes it is difficult to choose what type of flowers to give to cause those desired sensations. That’s why we want to tell you the ideal types of flowers to give at this time, what each one transmits and thus help you select the most suitable gift for that person you have in mind.
Roses
Although the most traditional are the red roses associated with romanticism and love, which for that reason are usually given to a couple, they exist in many colors: white, pink and yellow.
Pink roses transmit our gratitude and affection to the person who receives them. While yellow roses symbolize friendship. That’s why they are the ideal gift for a friend. Finally, white roses are the symbol of purity and innocence. Sensations very present during this time.
But colors are not the only ones that convey meaning. The number of roses in the bouquet also conveys a message.
A bouquet with twelve roses in USA is usually given as a gift for special dates such as anniversaries, since whoever gives it away means that their love is true. On the other hand, when we include 9 roses, it conveys the eternal love we feel for a person. That’s why it’s a beautiful gift for a grandmother or mother.
It is a type of flower that usually pleases anyone.
Gerberas or African daisies
Their bright, vibrant and diverse colors bring joy to those who receive them. Ideal for grandparents, mothers, fathers, friends and anyone we wish to see happy.
As in the case of roses, each color also has its meaning:
- Orange Gerberas: They convey euphoria and joy. They are associated with the achievement of goals. Do you have a loved one who has worked very hard this year to achieve their goals? Then orange gerberas are the best choice.
- Red Gerberas: they represent the romantic love that never dies.
- White Gerberas: they mean cleanliness, calm and harmony. They represent a pure and sincere feeling, both of the person who sends them and from the person who receives them.
- Pink Gerberas: Pink Gerberas: they radiate youth. But they also symbolize admiration, gratitude and sympathy.
- Yellow Gerberas: this color is closely related to success.
Daisies or chrysanthemums
Although when we think of this flower we imagine the classic white daisies with a yellow center, there are colored daisies that symbolize the enthusiasm for life and the joy of living.
On the other hand, daisies as flowers symbolize unconditional friendship, pure love (unbound by romantic connotations) and simplicity. On the other hand, they are the icon of sympathy.

Daylilies, liliums or lilies
These flowers are characterized by a strong but pleasant aroma that increases during the night.
They mean femininity. For the Greeks and Romans, giving a lilium flower to women meant wishing them a long life. They also gave them as a sign of love.
That is why red lilies are associated with seduction and orange ones with passion. They are highly recommended as a gift for a bride or groom who also loves to perfume their space.
Poinsettia, Christmas Eve flower or federal star.
Depending on the country, this flower receives different names. It is the most traditional Christmas flower and represents the good night, as one of its names indicates.
The legend tells the story of a very poor girl who did not have a gift to present Christ, so she picked some herbs from the side of the road. When she arrived at the church, and approached the altar, a Christmas miracle took place: the weeds were transformed into beautiful red and green flowers. That’s why the flowers were called “Christmas Eve flowers” and are the symbol of Christmas.

Alstroemerias
The alstroemerias are another flower with a legend. It is the symbol of lasting friendship. That’s why it becomes the perfect gift for any of your friends. Each flower has six petals and each one symbolizes a very important facet of friendship: understanding, patience, commitment, empathy, respect and humor.
But it is also a flower that evokes prosperity, fortune and good health. It is one of the flowers that you can give to any loved one without worrying about its meaning. Especially if you have a friend or relative in Santiago de Chile, one of its native countries.
Basket with fruits and flowers
If the gift is for a man and we feel uncomfortable with the idea of sending him only a bouquet of flowers or we think he might not like it, an excellent alternative is to send him a basket with fruit accompanied by flowers.
A colorful but elegant option is the combination of tropical fruits in DF like apples, pears, kiwis, peaches, bananas and grapes, accompanied by flowers that transmit harmony like the Lilies.
It is a great gift for men like parents, grandparents or friends.
An extra detail to excite twice as much.
All flowers can be accompanied by a teddy bear and/or chocolates to, besides expressing our feelings in a sincere way, bring that loved one a dose of sweetness.
Although these are the flowers we recommend for this season, knowing the tastes of the person you are giving them is an infallible recipe to get them excited.
