CHRISTMAS HOME DECOR: WHERE & HOW?

Join us on :

Christmas decorations are a big part of the holiday season. Here are some simple ideas and tips to help you decorate the interiors of your home easily and without much hassle.

Decorating the interiors of your home is very different than setting up the Christmas tree or creating an outdoor display. In an average home there are limited locations that the decorations can be placed on without causing disruptions in daily life, and lessen floor space. Therefore, it is important to view what is available in your home, and then work with it to make the best decoration display possible.

The most common place to set up a decoration is on the mantelpiece. A fireplace and a mantel make for an easily decorated area. It may be interesting to string lights or extra greenery up and down the sides of the mantel, where it stands almost flush with the wall in most houses. Candle holders are a great decorative item to add to such a space in your home. You can also place them on a bookshelf or a kitchen counter and bring in the holiday cheer.

Side tables are excellent for setting up table accents and flower arrangements. Be sure to select ones that complement each other. For dining tables, a good centerpiece can really make the difference in creating the Christmas spirit. Consider whether you want a smaller one that can be left in place when the table is in use, or a large removable setting for maximum visual impact. As you carefully decorate the Christmas tree, don’t forget to keep some extra decorative balls and use them in a centerpiece. You can make a sparkly centerpiece featuring those decorative ornaments and keep the centerpiece where you’ll be hosting your lovely Christmas dinner.

Inside, lights appear much brighter due to the close quarters of the home. So, it may be wise to be careful about the use of large bulbs or LED lights. Common places for lights are to string them on the mantel piece with the other decorations, on a bannister or even outlining a door or doorway. Display wreaths and other door decorations on removable door hooks. Look for ones that can be adjusted to your door width to avoid scratch marks on top of the door frame. These hangers allow you to display Christmas decorations without putting holes into doors or window frames.

Thanksgiving Flowers – Time To Be Grateful – Share Love & Warmth

Thanksgiving is traditionally a time for families and friends to get together, sharing lives, stories and food. Though the imagination often runs to a large, wooden table laden with food, with perhaps a fireplace burning merrily in another room, Thanksgiving is actually celebrated in many ways. Whether it’s a feast filled with dozens of family members and friends, or a small table for two, it’s the spirit of the holiday that counts. And the right flower arrangements only add to that comfortable feeling.

Thanksgiving Centerpiece

Flora2000 are fantastic in designing the perfect centerpieces for your table. A sprawling, low cornucopia (or horn of plenty,) place in the center of your table, or on a sideboard, makes just the right holiday statement. The “plenty” can (and often does!) refer to food but, on this holiday, many times it often simply is a reminder of the blessings of friends and family. But perhaps you’d prefer something a little more imposing on your table, in which case your florist’s artistic fingers can create towering floral Thanksgiving edifices that draw every eye. And, of course, everything in between.

Thanksgiving Tips and Trivia

Actually it’s far simpler than you may think. To create show- stopping centerpieces, rely on contrast.

A Thanksgiving centerpiece doesn’t have to be formal or stuffy; you can fill the center of the table with fresh herbs, gourds and colorful fall foliage. Compact flowers like ranunculus and roses are the perfect choice for traditional centerpieces. You can also choose white pumpkins for a soft yet stunning arrangement that will stand out amid the Thanksgiving table fare. When used unexpectedly, everyday elements from nature offer pretty centerpiece potential.

Send Thanksgiving Flowers And Gifts To Your Loved Ones.

This Thanksgiving, you can do something special for your loved ones. You can send them delectable hampers containing assorted goodies, enticing cakes or stunning floral ensembles as a loving gesture to show your gratitude.

Thanksgiving is for gifting and whether you’re staying in Canada or North America or any part of the world, you can easily send across flowers and gifts and warm wishes through Flora2000 Online Gifting , along with loads of love and affection.

Your friends and family will surely appreciate the love and affection showered through these unique and exquisite gifts. These flowers and gifts will be remembered by all even after Thanksgiving has passed.

Thanksgiving This Year Is On 28th November

Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in United States. This year 2016 it will be celebrated on 24th November in United States. If you are home this Thanksgiving, then putting together a gorgeous centerpiece may seem intimidating. If you are living abroad you can also send flowers to USA. Your friends and family will surely appreciate the affection showered through these unique and exquisite gifts.

5 Fun Facts About Flowers We Bet You Didn’t Know!

For ages, flowers, a wonderful gift of nature, have been helping us express our emotions and feelings! Their beauty, fragrance and brilliant colors are enough to make a person smile. It is rightly said, “Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into”. Moreover, there are flowers and plants that exhibit hidden medicinal properties that make them more useful to human beings. But did you know there are a number of facts about these beautiful creations? Find out some of them with us!

The world’s oldest flower blossomed about 125 million years ago

Surprised? Yes, scientists in China discovered Archaefructus Sinensis in 2002 that is believed to be a fossil of the oldest flowering plant found so far. The flower resembles a water lily. It was thought to be about 125 million years old.

The largest flower in the world is 15 feet high

Amazed? The world’s largest flowering plant is the Titan Arums which reaches about 15 feet in height and 3 feet in width. It is also the flower that has the strongest aroma- one that is unpleasant and reminiscent of rotting flesh. Because of this, it also got the name Corpse Flower. Interesting, isn’t it?

The Lotus was used for burial rituals in ancient Egypt

Yes, you read that right! Lotus has been appreciated a lot for its beauty and its flawless colors. This flower illustrates the beauty of nature in the best way every time it blooms and floats on water. But did you know? The Lotus was considered sacred by ancient Egyptians and used in burial rights. It was viewed as a symbol of resurrection and eternal life.

Tulip bulbs once were more valuable than gold

Shocked? If you thought that gold was among the most expensive things in the world, here is something that will amaze you. Tulip bulbs had more value than gold in Holland in the 1600s. If only, they still had that value even today! Aren’t flowers the more precious?

Tulip bulbs can be substituted for onions in recipes!

Interesting indeed! If you are short of onions at home and need them in a recipe, no worries! If you have a tulip plant in your garden, your job is done! Because, believe it or not, tulip bulbs can be used as a substitute for onions while cooking and they will make your dish as delicious as onions do!

6 Stages Of Love – The Ultimate Gifting Guide By Flora2000

Everybody seeks love, anybody who denies seeking love is probably in denial, busy, unlucky or maybe just too lazy to take the efforts. Love is precious and is built gradually upon several stages. To make every stage bloom and progress to the other, we feel that it’s essential to give each other the right flowers. We at Flora2000 have prepared the perfect gifting guide for those in every stage of love. You can find these flowers online on www.flora2000.com and through online flower delivery you have your surprises shipped to your desired destination.

It All Begins With Attraction

At this stage it’s important for you to make sure, you make the first move. Light a fire in her by surprising her with an anonymous gift. Make sure it looks special enough for her to be bowled over by it, but not overtly taken aback by it. A charming mixed bouquet of tulips, roses and carnations in a bright shade of pink would be just perfect.

Admiration

Be her secret admirer. Women love that. Send her another anonymous bouquet that gets her intrigued for good. By doing this you’ll make her feel wanted and special. Send her an exclusive rose bouquet that is a combination of yellow, red, orange and pink roses.

Passion

Send her another bouquet, this time mention your name and attach a love letter to it, (nobody does that nowadays), so that will make it doubly special. Compliment her, but don’t butter her. Tell her what you love about her and she’ll be passionately yours. A bouquet of bright red tulips would make the perfect gift during this stage. You can buy it here.

Trust

Remember that she isn’t all yours as yet. It’s only the beginning of your relationship and also the time you need to be extra careful to make your roots strong. For a woman to love someone, trust is an important factor. Build that trust, step by step. If she’s having a gloomy day, send her a sunny bouquet that will give her the assurance that you will always be there for her. Or send her a bouquet simply to make her feel special.

Attachment

This is the trickiest stage in your relationship. This is the part where she is going to give into you fully, but isn’t sure yet. She loves you, but is afraid of admitting it. She is in fact so attached to you, that she is unsure of how life would be without you. But it is at this part that you need to make sure, you don’t turn her into a clingy partner. Ask her to take joy in her space, tell her that you’ll be with her, no matter what. It’s only when you give her space, she’ll realise that she is truly attached to you(in a good way of course). Pamper her with surprise gift. A rose arrangement and a teddy bear should do the trick.

Love
Now that both of you have let go of your insecurities, you know that you’re truly, deeply, madly in love. Seal your love with a romantic, all red rose bouquet. Express your love with gratitude to her. She’ll be yours forever.

We hope you liked our tips. If you think you can add to our post, please feel free to comment in the box below. Keep it simple and don’t forget to fall in love.

5 Things NOT To Do On Father’s Day

So you did not miss surprising mom and making her feel special on Mother’s Day, did you? So what about dad? He is the one who always remained strong and taught you to be strong as well, the one who held your hand while he walked you to school each day and the one who never got anything for him only to get new clothes and toys for you every year. It’s time to recall the best memories you have with him and thank him too.

Father’s Day on 19^th June is more than just a reminder that you love your dad. It’s your chance to plan a lovely surprise for your superhero. While everyone suggests gift ideas and fun activities to do on dad’s special day, we are suggesting few things you should NOT do on Father’s Day.

1. Don’t leave dad alone

This might be the worst thing you do on dad’s special day –Leaving Him Alone! While we know that dads are a bit different than moms as they like enjoying some quiet and peaceful time alone, we strictly advise NOT to leave him alone on his special day. You may not take him out for a fancy party but simple gestures such as cooking for him and spending some quality time with him can make him feel really special.

2. Don’t burden him with responsibilities

Yes, he does need a break from responsibilities! At least for a day! He would really appreciate no deadlines, no hassles, no chores, no having to fix anything and no rushing about on his special day. Just allow him to relax. Take over his tasks and let him be carefree. Trust us, he wouldn’t wish for more.

3. Don’t praise the greatness of mom

Mom is often the most celebrated one while dad remains the silent and unsung one. So, on Father’s Day, let him know how special he is and what he means to you. Focus on him. Don’t err of telling him how great mom is and how much you love her. He already knows that, believe us he does!

4. Don’t allow him to pick up the tab for dinner

Have you planned a family dinner at his favorite place on Father’s Day? Just make sure he doesn’t end up paying for the treat! For a change, pick up the tab! He deserves it.

5. Don’t forget to pamper him

A thoughtful gift and a little bit of pampering can mean so much than just wishing him on Father’s Day. So pick up the phone! Send flowers or make a beautiful card or buy him the stuff he loves. Either ways, it will touch his heart for sure!

Remember! Your father gave you the greatest gift anyone could give any person, he believed in you!

7 Things Mom Never Told You (But You Should Know) !

MOM – All the love in the world begins and ends here! For every mother, her children mean the world to her and there’s no one as beautiful as them. She must have told you a thousand times how much she loves you, believes in you and would stand by you. But there are many things she never told you but you ought to know. Curious? Read on!

1. You’ve made her cry

Before you argue that you have never done it, let us tell you that you’ve made her cry a number of times whether you realized it or not. The moment she realized she was pregnant, she cried. When she gave birth to you, she cried. When she first held you, she cried. When you first called her mom, she cried. Of course, she never told you but she has felt your pain and experienced your joys that all made her cry much more than you think.

2. She was afraid…always!

We know every mom is a super mom and super moms are strong and fearless. But, to tell you a fact, she was always afraid! She was afraid about her pregnancy, about your health, about your safety, about your grades, about your coming home late, about your future and just so much she never told you about.

3. It hurt badly

Being a mother is all about tolerating pain yet remaining strong and she has gone through every bit of it. Yes, it hurt her when you kicked her from her belly, when she gave birth to you, when you pulled her hair and when you bit her while drinking milk. And, that pain is nothing like the one you can ever imagine!

4. She never meant it

She must have scolded you a hundred times, told you she wouldn’t talk to you the next time you made the same mistake or got late to pack your lunch that got you a punishment at school. But, she never meant it! For her, you are her everything, and, no matter how much you pissed her off, her love didn’t recede even a bit.

5. She put you ahead of everything else

She didn’t bother having breakfast herself but made sure she fed you before rushing to work. She spent sleepless nights putting you to sleep. No matter how hungry she was, she gave you that last piece of cake and watched you as you munched it with delight. She always put you and your needs ahead of everything else in the world and never let you know what she compromised for your happiness.

6. You are her biggest weakness

Think your mom is the strongest in the world? Well, definitely she is unless it’s an issue cornering you! She always stood by you in bad times, supported you and lifted you up every time you fell but she never told you how weak it made her seeing you fall down. In the entire world, it is you that can make her go weak in her knees more than anything else!

7. She loves being pampered

Did she ever tell you that she loves being pampered and surprised? We bet she didn’t but yeah, she simply loves it when you do it for her. It gives her the happiness of the world to be loved by her children and pampered by them.

When was the last time you said ‘I Love You Mom’ to her? Don’t remember? Well, now is the time! With Mother’s Day coming up fast on the 8^th of May, let her know that she is your strength and that she means the world to you. Check out some cool Mother’s Day surprises online and book one for her right away.
