Father’s Day is quickly approaching on June 19 and, although it isn’t the typical flower giving holiday, men love to receive flowers for the same reason they like to send them — to be recognized. The Society of American Florists’ resources will help inspire you with arrangements and gift basket themes that are perfect for the fathers in your customers’ lives.
Try these gift basket theme ideas:
- Football basket or team logo cooler: Load your basket with a plant, local team gear, snacks, and cold beverages to create a winning gift.
- Fishing tackle box: Combine flowers, snacks, and a few fishing lures to reel in customers.
- Golf basket or cooler: Mix some taller grass plants with a golf towel, tees, and ball markers.
- Barbeque basket: Fire up your sales by using a small charcoal grill or grill pan packed with bright red and orange flowers, bottles of sauce, barbeque tools, oven mitts and snacks.
- Cooler, ice bucket or bait buckets: Stuff these with plants and items that go along with your theme for a cool gift.
- Health nut gift: Fill a workout bag with a plant, water bottle and healthy snacks such as protein bars, dried fruit and juices, and you’ll be in great shape for Father’s Day.
