Giving artificial flowers as a gift: luxury gift ideas for the holidays

Looking for a gift that won't end up in the compost bin after a week? Artificial flowers are one of the most beautiful gifts you can give: they look luxurious, need no care and stay beautiful for years. Whether you are shopping for Christmas, Sinterklaas, a housewarming or a business relation, an artificial bouquet in a matching vase is a gift that brings joy every single day. In this guide you will read why artificial flowers make such a good gift, how to choose the right one and which options there are for every budget.

Why artificial flowers make a great gift

Fresh flowers are a classic gift, but they come with an expiry date. After a few days the heads droop, the water turns cloudy and the bouquet goes in the bin. A high-quality artificial bouquet stays beautiful. The recipient doesn't have to do anything: no changing water, no trimming stems and no worries about holidays or a dark room.

An artificial bouquet is also a personal gift. You choose a colour and style that suit the recipient's interior, and that choice stays visible. Every time they see the bouquet, they think of you for a moment. That is why artificial flowers are so suitable for people who already have everything.

• Lasting: beautiful for years, without wilting.
• Maintenance-free: ideal for busy people or those without green fingers.
• Allergy-friendly: no pollen and no scent, so also suitable for hay fever sufferers.
• Ready to go: at Forme Flora every bouquet comes with a vase, so the recipient simply puts it down and is done.

How to choose the right artificial bouquet as a gift

1. Look at the recipient's interior

If the recipient loves calm, natural tones, choose a bouquet in cream, green and sand. If the interior is warm and expressive, pink, terracotta or deeper tones work better. In doubt? Neutral colours fit almost anywhere.

2. Match the size to the spot

A small bouquet fits on a side table, windowsill, bedside table or desk. A medium bouquet looks lovely on a sideboard or coffee table, and a large bouquet is a real eye-catcher on the dining table or in the hallway. If you don't know the home well, a small or medium size is the safest choice.

3. Think about the vase

A loose bouquet without a vase is only half a gift. That is why we deliver every bouquet with a vase that matches in shape and colour. Want to know more about that combination? Read our blog which vase suits an artificial bouquet.

Gift ideas by budget

Around €99: a small artificial bouquet

For a thoughtful gift for a colleague or as a thank-you, our small artificial bouquets are ideal. Think of Linnea Small, Elore Small or Vienne Small: compact, refined and including a vase. From €99 shipping is free, too.

Around €150: a medium bouquet

Want to make more of an impression, for your mother, in-laws or a close friend? A medium bouquet such as Linnea Medium or Joli Medium from the Wild Elegance collection fills a sideboard or coffee table beautifully and clearly feels like a luxury gift.

Around €200: a large bouquet

For a housewarming, an anniversary or a special Christmas present, choose a large artificial bouquet, such as Vienne Large or Elore Large. A bouquet like this instantly becomes the centrepiece of the room.

From €170: a complete styling set

Want to go all out? Our complete styling sets combine a bouquet with vases, a tray and sometimes a decorative object or scented candle. Ambre, for example, comes with a vase, bird, tray and scented candle, and Evia with two vases. A ready-styled ensemble you can give straight away.

Not sure? Give a gift card

If you don't know which style the recipient likes, the Forme Flora gift card from €25 is a good solution. The recipient then chooses a bouquet, styling set or artificial plant themselves.

Artificial flowers as a corporate gift

As a business gift or Christmas present for employees, artificial flowers are a strong choice as well. A bouquet at reception or in the meeting room stays visible for months, unlike a Christmas hamper that is quickly gone. For offices and business spaces, also take a look at our artificial plants for the office. Want to order several pieces? Feel free to contact us.

Order on time for the holidays

Order on a working day before 17:00 and we ship your order the same working day. Around the holidays carriers are often busy, so ideally order a week in advance. That way you can be sure your gift is under the tree on time.

In conclusion

Giving artificial flowers means giving a gift that lasts. Choose a style that suits the recipient and a size that suits the spot, and you give something they will enjoy for years. Browse all artificial bouquets with vase and find the gift that suits you and the recipient.
