In the days before electricity and central heating, people moving into a new home would receive gifts of firewood from their family and friends. The firewood was meant to give them enough fuel to last through their first winter in order to keep them warm. As amenities and utilities modernized, “housewarming” gatherings evolved into opportunities for family and friends to congratulate their loved ones on their new home – or for current residents to make a new family feel welcome in their midst.

Al’s Florist has floral arrangements, blooming baskets and green plants that are sure to warm the hearts of anyone who receives them. If someone you know is settling into a new place, make sure to send them s! 

Bright s have a way of adding comfort and warmth to a home or office. Suns, lilies, roses or asters – no matter your favorite , we are happy to design a beautiful bouquet. What are some other popular housewarming gifts?

* Gift certificates to a nearby restaurant, preferably a neighborhood favorite.
* A home cooked meal to get them through long days of unpacking.
* Stopping by to walk the dog or watch the kids while they set up the home.
* A gift card to the local home accessory or home improvement store – no matter how prepared we are, we always
forgot something!

While floral bouquets are lovely on kitchen windowsills and dining room tables, you may also choose a blooming basket for the lanai or a green plant for the office. Both will add a homey touch designed to make them feel comfortable in their new space, and their long lasting beauty will remind them of your thoughtfulness for months to come.

Although times have changes, kindness and neighborliness never go out of style. Stop by Al’s Florist of Hollywood to choose the perfect housewarming gift, and help them t make their house a home.
