What is Flower Gifting?

Flower gifting is when one person or group gives flowers to another person or group as a gift or an expression of thankfulness, condolences, and other purposes. Flower gifts come in various forms, ranging from a single red rose as a romantic gesture to stunning bouquets filled with an assortment of beautiful blooms.

The most common flower gift is a flower bouquet. Planters are also popular for certain occasions, and some situations warrant specific flower variations, such as a casket spray at a funeral or a bridal bouquet for a wedding.

The Power of Flower Gifting

Beyond the meaning and symbolism of flowers, studies have shown that people who receive flowers — of any kind — have an emotional response. A study published in 2005 by researchers at Rutgers University in Evolutionary Psychology found that:

Flowers elicit smiles: Women who were presented with flowers consistently responded with a genuine smile, known as the duch*enne smile. They also reported more positive moods three days after receiving flowers.
Flowers elicit positive social behavior: When presented to someone in an elevator, a flower elicited more positive social behavior compared to other stimuli. This was true for both men and women.
Flowers boost mood and improve memory: Elderly participants (55 and older) reported moods and improved episodic memory after receiving flowers.

Researchers from the University of North Florida conducted a study in 2018, The Impact of Flowers on Perceived Stress Among Women, and found that “people who lived with flowers in their homes for just a few days reported a significant decrease in their levels of stress and improvements in their moods,” the Society of American Florists (SAF) reports.

In another study, conducted by researchers at Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital, participants reported feeling “least positive in the early hours but reported being happier and more energetic after looking at flowers first thing in the morning.”

The SAF also reports on a study conducted by researchers at Texas A&M University on the effects of flowers (and plants) on workplace productivity. Researchers found that workplaces with flowers and plants had several positive impacts compared to those without flowers, plants, or other decorations, including:

Innovative thinking: Both women and men demonstrated more innovative thinking.
More ideas: Men generated 15% more ideas.
Greater creativity: Women developed more creative solutions to problems.

A Brief History of Flower Gifting

The concept of giving flowers as a gift dates back to ancient Egyptian, Grecian, Roman, and Chinese cultures. It carried through the Middle Ages, the Victorian Era, and the rest of time, and it remains common in cultures around the world today.

Flowers — and the gift of a flower bouquet with certain types of flowers — have held different meanings over time. For example, in Greek mythology, various flowers represent gods and goddesses.

Flowers and Their Meanings in the Victorian Era

Flowers have their own language, called floriography, which dates back to the Victorian era and is also known as “the Victorian language of flowers.” However, flower meanings evolve over time and differ among cultures.

According to the Royal Horticultural Society, flowers had different meanings in different cultures when floriography first emerged in the Victorian era, and many cultural differences exist today. For example, in the East Asia region, white flowers symbolize mourning in many countries, but in Europe, white flowers represent purity.

In the Victorian era, it was not considered acceptable for women to be outspoken, and flowers provided a way to communicate with others without violating those cultural norms. Women sent bouquets to others, and wore flowers as accessories (such as in their hair), and carried small bouquets — called tussie-mussies or nosegays — to communicate feelings such as love, sorrow, desire, and affection.

Floriography’s popularity waned in some periods, such as the start of the 20th century during World War 1. The traditions were not forgotten and over time various floriography systems reemerged as a way to share feelings and communicate emotions in a subtle, yet beautiful way.

Current Trends in Flower Gifting

According to Abdalslam, one-fourth (25%) of florist sales in the United States are made online, and flower bouquets are the most popular floral product sold online. More than half (60%) of online sales are made on mobile devices. In the United States, fresh cut flowers are expected to account for 29.1% of the US floral market.

Among delivery options, same-day delivery is the most popular option. Subscription services are also increasingly popular.
