Bouquets

• Artificial bouquets are often hard to distinguish from the real thing.bouquet image by nix pix from Fotolia.com
  
  Flower bouquets are widely available pre-made, or you can make your own by choosing individual sprays from a local craft store to group together. Bouquets can be chosen with a specific color scheme in mind, or with a specific floral variety as the unifying element (such as roses, tropical flowers, or leaves and grasses). Choosing an appropriate vase is important too, as the color, shape and size of the vase affects the overall character of the arrangement. Bouquets are suitable gifts for absolutely any occasion.
  
  

Centerpieces

• Artificial floral centerpieces are a great holiday gift.festive floral image by Liz Van Steenburgh from Fotolia.com
  
  Floral centerpieces have a more formal, composed feel than spray bouquets, which are designed to look less formal. Centerpieces are designed for dining tables, where diners need to see each other across the table. They are perfect gifts during the holidays when people are more likely to want floral decorations.
  
  

Garlands

• A garland is a good gift for home owners.garland with lights image by Katrina Miller from Fotolia.com
  
  Garlands are long lengths of flowers, leaves or vines that are meant to be wrapped around staircases or pillars, either indoors or out. They are only suitable for giving to those who have pillars or staircases to drape.
  
  

Leis

  Artificial leis are perfect gifts for high school or college graduates. The practice of graduates wearing leis has expanded beyond the confines of Hawaii and is a fun way to celebrate. Wearing multiple leis is even more fun!
  
  

Swags

• Swags are arrangements without vases.christmas centerpiece image by William Berry from Fotolia.com
  
  Swags are floral arrangements without a vase and are meant to lie on a table or hang on a door. Swags make great gifts because they can come in any size or length. As with centerpieces or bouquets, they can be made unique by the addition of seasonal items or items fitting with someone's collecting hobby, such as items with strawberry motifs, which would then make them suitable for birthday gifts as well as holiday gifts.
  
  

Wreaths

• Wreaths make great seasonal gifts.christmas wreath image by William Berry from Fotolia.com
  
  Wreaths are a popular choice for a variety of occasions. Holiday wreaths range from those with a red, white and blue color scheme for the Fourth of July, to ones with pine cones and pomegranates for Christmas, to Easter wreaths with pastel colors and decorated eggs, to wreaths with autumn leaves for Thanksgiving. Wreaths can also be found in any number of sizes and shapes, from small ones only four or five inches in diameter, which could be clustered or hung on a Christmas tree, to large wreaths two feet or more in diameter meant to be hung over a mantle or on a large front door.
  
  

Custom Arrangements

• Unique gifts can match the personality of the receiver.christmas flower arrangement image by Jim Parkin from Fotolia.com
  
  Unique specialty gifts proved a surprise element in either the floral or the container elements. The floral elements are sometimes dwarfed by a unique container, such as an old shoe, a pumpkin or an animal figure. There is absolutely no end to what qualifies as a container for a floral arrangement -- you are only limited by your own imagination! Some unique centerpieces add elements to a simple vase, such as elaborate butterflies or dragonflies on stems within the flowers. Other unique floral gifts would be birds' nests or bird houses with a few leaves and twigs. These are gifts that most anyone would appreciate on any occasion.
