Gratitude practices are wildly popular, and for all the right reasons. They allow us to appreciate how lucky we are, especially the because of the seriously amazing people we know! Think about those coworkers and bosses who help you kill it at work (total lifesavers, right?) and the mentors who’ve been there through all your glow-ups. And of course, big love to your Christmas and Thanksgiving hosts because that hospitality is real. At Mancuso’s Florist in St. Clair Shores, Michigan, we know the most awesome way to show our gratitude is with fresh blooms, so here’s the deal!

Host & Hostess Gifts

Landed yourself an invitation to a Christmas feast, Thanksgiving gathering, or another cool holiday party? Don’t just roll in — pull up with a surprise that’s super on point! We’re talking a fresh floral centerpiece that’ll make your host feel super special (and they are, straight up). Poinsettias are the obvious go-to for Christmas; they literally are the holidays. For Thanksgiving, chrysanthemums bring that perfect fall energy. Want to shake things up? Anthuriums are tropical, totally different, and they send a major hospitality appreciation message.

Mentors Who Make a Difference

Where would we be without the teachers who’ve legit been guiding us from the start? They’ve seriously helped us find our way and make it all the way to graduation. We owe it all to these incredible mentors! The best way to thank these wise souls? Irises, no question, they’re the ambassadors of wisdom and we’re all about that. For a more broad (but still perfect) gesture of appreciation, pink roses do the trick every time.

Being There in Pivotal Moments

Whether you call them your squad, tribe, or inner-circle, your people — related or not — are always there when you need advice, a hand, or just some good vibes. That’s why showing love to them for all they do is an absolute must. Hydrangeas are legit the perfect way to say, “I’m so, so grateful for you,” with all the heartfelt emotion. Plus, they’re gorgeous! And if you wanna boost the positive energy, snapdragons bring serious grace and strength, which we can never get enough of!

Going Above and Beyond

Real talk – when your best friend or fam shows up and goes the extra mile, it’s super humbling. It’s one of those “wow, you really did that” moments that makes you want to return the favor times a hundred. Yellow lilies? They’re basically the perfect way to say thanks, with their bright, happy color and all the gratitude symbolism. And let’s not forget about sunflowers – they bring that happy, uplifting spirit, just like the people who make your life better.

Thanking Bosses and Coworkers

A big W at work? Yeah, that’s totally worth celebrating, especially when the whole squad teamed up to make it happen (let’s go!). Show some serious love for that one-of-a-kind teamwork with a gift that’s high-key beautiful and bound to impress everyone. Orchids are a no-brainer — so classy, repping beauty and thoughtfulness. But if you wanna spotlight the office’s endurance and resilience, succulents are the flex!

Good vibes and flowers just click! Let Mancuso’s Florist help you send a custom thank-you gift to the people who’ve gone above and beyond in so many ways.
