Consider a gift or floral arrangement that will match the recipient’s personal style. Would a blooming plant look lovely in their sunroom? Or maybe they have a perfect place for a vase arrangement on an end table. If the recipient must stay in the hospital, a gift or bouquet may be especially appreciated. Without the comforts of home, a display of colorful blooms may be just the pick-me-up they need. Kremp Florist has a wide selection of get-well gifts and flowers from which to choose.

Hospital Delivery Tips
Sending flowers to a hospital requires some considerations. Ensure that the hospital permits flower deliveries, and provide detailed recipient information, including the ward and room number. Bright and cheerful arrangements can make a hospital room more inviting and help lift the patient's spirits.
The Healing Power of Flowers
In the 1960s, the hippie movement often spoke about “flower power.” The phrase, coined by Beat poet Allen Ginsberg, was used during Vietnam War protests. It was the antithesis to the common misconception that all protests were violent. Rather, the hippies who chanted “flower power” aimed to express their views through peace and love.
Although Ginsberg was speaking of metaphorical flower power, did you know that flowers actually have healing power for people who are physically or mentally ill? A study performed by Rutgers University showed that receiving flowers had an “immediate impact on happiness” and was “a healthful moderator of moods.” The recipients of the flowers were studied for 10 months and were found to be less depressed and less anxious than those who did not receive flowers.
Similarly, other studies have found that hospital patients fare better in recovery when flowers or plants are present in their rooms. In a 2015 article, the Huffington Post noted that hospital patients who received flowers had lower blood pressure, needed less pain medication, and were less tired than their peers.
Choosing Get-Well Flowers
Bright and colorful flowers are ever-popular choices for get-well arrangements. Blooms with sunny hues like yellow, orange, and red capture the warmth and happiness of the outdoors while the person who is under the weather may be stuck inside. Hot pink, bright green, blue, and purple also make for lovely shades to make someone smile. Pastel colors and colors that are close to each other on the color wheel generally bring a feeling of calm. Some patients will appreciate the Zen-like display while they rest and heal. On the other hand, colors that are opposites (think yellow and purple) exude excitement. If you wish to give the recipient an energy boost, choose contrasting colors or a rainbow of colors in your arrangement.
Certain floral varieties have long been associated with happiness. Flowers like daisy pom pons, gerbera daisies, Asiatic lilies, yellow roses, and sunflowers feature a display of round petals with a yellow or dark-colored center that somehow embodies youthfulness and joy. Whatever the recipient’s favorite flower may be, Kremp Florist’s large array of stems means that there will always be fresh varieties, even if you need same-day delivery. We deliver locally seven days a week and also offer out-of-town flower delivery service all over the country.
Get-Well Gifts
In addition to get-well flowers, you may also want to send a keepsake or decoration to wish your friend a speedy recovery. Get-well gifts are also great for those who have allergies and cannot receive flowers. Kremp Florist designs get-well balloon bouquets, perfect for delivery to a hospital or home, that feature colorful mylar and latex balloons with encouraging slogans.
