Another great option for new mums are low maintenance, easy care house plants such the Money Tree or a Peperomia.
Sympathy:
When sending flowers to those who have just lost a loved one, lilies, roses and orchids are always great choices. You could also customise a bouquet with the favour colours or flowers of the deceased.
White flowers are traditionally used to send condolences but beautiful bright flowers are uplifting and beginning to become more popular for this sort of gift. Try to avoid flowers with strong scents as they linger.
Another thing to keep in mind when sending sympathy flowers is whether or not they need a vase. Sometimes arrangements delivered in a bag, jar, or with it’s own vase is a thoughtful way to save the recipient the hassle of having to find another vase, especially if they are likely to be receiving lots of flowers.
