So it’s that time of year again when gift-giving seems to sneak up on all of us last minute. Don’t you hate it when you realize an occasion is coming up and you still need something for someone? Well, we are here to help with some really easy gift options you can pull together using stuff likely already in your home. All it takes is some snipping from the garden or grabbing a few dollars worth of blooms from the market. You’ll be impressed by what a vase, box, or basket can do to dress them up too!
Dried Flower Arrangement
If you find yourself needing a gift fast and all the stores are closed, don’t stress! You can easily make a nice gift using things you probably already have at home like dried flowers. Go grab some bouquets of dried flowers from your pantry or craft store/ nearby Mechanic florist in township. Then arrange them neatly in a vase, Mason jar, or basket. Tie with ribbon. The person will love how unique it looks! You can also include some lavender or other dried herbs for a nice scent. So easy and so thoughtful too!
Potted Flowers
If the person likes gardening or just having plants around, a potted flower is another great last-minute gift you can throw together. Check out your local flower shop in Berlin or hardware store—many keep potted flowers like hydrangeas, mums, or succulents ready to go all year. Dress it up in a festive pot if you want. Water it before giving so it stays fresh and looking longer. The recipient will appreciate a splash of color that will bloom for weeks!
Bouquet in a Jar
This is probably the easiest gift of all to do with what you have on hand. Find a pretty glass jar, then arrange a casual bouquet of your favorite flowers right inside. No need to remove the stems or make it too formal. Add some baby’s breath or greenery too if you want. Top with cheerful ribbon tied in a bow. Tucked inside will be a little note saying it’s a “Pick Me Up” bouquet. So simple, yet they will smile when they see it!
Tiny Bud Vase Bouquet
Miniature bud vases are very popular right now for placing single stems of tiny flowers around the home. You can create a set of 3-5 mini bud vases tied together with twine to make a thoughtful hostess gift. Each vase needs just one delicate flower like a pansy, sweet pea, or rosebud. Arrange colors or varieties to be pleasing together and voila! Instant gift that shows you care.
DIY Flower Crown
Flower crowns are such a fun craft, and making one to gift shows your creativity. Collect an assortment of daisies, baby’s breath, and other dainty blooms that won’t wilt quickly. Use florist tape or wire to gently secure the stems together in a circular shape that will fit around someone’s head. Let it dry completely then wrap in clear cellophane or a gift bag to present. A handmade gift they can wear!
Scented Florals
For someone with a culinary hobby, put together an aromatic bundle of edible flowers they can use to decorate desserts or drinks. Include options like pansies, nasturtiums, rose petals, and lavender. Tuck extras like crystallized ginger or cinnamon sticks alongside. Tie securely with raffia and attach a tag suggesting ways they can enjoy their new edible blooms!
Framed Flower Print
If you happen to have single flowers pressed and dried already, consider arranging them artistically on plain paper or cardstock to make an instant gift. Use a hot glue gun to gently adhere the blooms in an appealing pattern. Once dry, put the creation in a simple dollar store frame. A one-of-a-kind wall decoration that’s unique just like the recipient!
