Give the Gift of Beauty to Your Hostess with a Just Add Ice Orchid

November 13, 2012

orchid hostess giftHostess gifts have been described as a “pre-thanks” gesture. It’s the small item you bring when you visit the house, as opposed to a “post-thanks” gift after you leave.

As a token of your gratitude for your hostess’ hospitality – whether she’s hosting a holiday party or welcoming you as a house guest for several days – the gift should be one that everyone can enjoy.

Jewelry is too personal. Gift cards aren’t personal enough. But orchids? They’ll work every time.

With their compelling shapes and colors, orchids are the ultimate “gift of beauty,” and a healthy, well-potted specimen will live for years on just three ice cubes a week to provide needed hydration!

What else makes orchids an ideal hostess gift?

  • They’re affordable. Your orchid gift can be a single flower on display or a large pot of plants – the choices make for affordable options that suit every kind of home.
  • They’re easy to find. Just Add Ice orchids – a great choice for healthy, ready-to-display plants – are found at most of the country’s best-known retailers.
  • They can be enjoyed right away. Many hostess gifts, like wine or cookies, are saved for after the party. But an orchid delivers instant beauty. Your hostess can display it immediately for her guests.
  • They’re hypoallergenic. Even people who are allergic to other kinds of flowers generally have no problem with the many species of hypoallergenic orchids. That means your hostess can keep them in the bedroom, the sitting room and other places where the friends and family members spend time.
