10 Gift Ideas for your Boss and Colleagues
Tis the season of giving!
Your boss or colleagues can be hard to shop for. English Gardens is the perfect place to find gifts for everyone on your list. Here are a few ideas to get you started!
Plants and Flowers: Flowers are always appreciated. You can create your own arrangement from our selection of fresh market flowers, or let one of our talented floral designers create something special. Plus, we deliver world-wide! And on-line ordering makes it so convenient.
English Gardens carries beautiful pre-potted Amaryllis bulbs or potted Paper whites. Poinsettias are a very traditional plant for Christmas. Other plants, such as succulents, ivy topiaries or tropical house plants, will last well beyond the holiday season.
Consider a gift garden filled with a selection of both tropical and flowering plants.
Candles: Everyone loves receiving a beautiful candle! Find the perfect scent from our wide selection. We carry candles by Capri Blue, Thymes, Yankee Candle, and many others.
Shawls, Scarves, Gloves, and Bootsocks: Our selection of shawls and scarves are perfect for your fashion conscious boss or co-workers. Our scarves and shawls come in shades of greys, pinks and whites. Boot socks are a cozy gift and a great way to end the thermostat wars!
Made in Detroit: Show off your Detroit pride! We have everything from Michigan-shaped or Detroit wheel ornaments (in heirloom glass), to glasses and hats Made in Detroit.
Bird Feeders and Wreaths: For your bird-watching friends, consider a bird house or bird feeder. There are many options to choose from, including wood-carved houses, vintage inspired glass Hummingbird feeders, and wreaths made out of bird feed.
English Gardens Gift Card: When you cannot decide, an English Gardens gift card will certainly be appreciated. They’re available in store or on-line.
