We always think about sending flowers to someone on their birthday and Mom always receives a bouquet for Mother's Day. In addition, we also typically give flowers for Valentine's Day, anniversaries and the arrival of a new baby. However, there are plenty of other fun occasions when giving flowers is both appropriate and a fun way to share a little love.

One fun occasion invented by the founder of Hallmark card company is intended to give tribute to friendship. And quite suitably it has been known as Friendship Day or International Friendship Day celebrated every first weekend of august. Such an occasion is fit to remember those who has been good friends and has been a celebration since 1919.

Do you know that even grandparents have their own special day aside from the famous Mother's Day and Father's Day? Grandparent's Day is being celebrated on the first Sunday right after we celebrate Labor Day and your grandparents would be thrilled to receive flowers or live plants from you. To make it extra special, you can also call them and say all those nice things you want to and maybe even treat them out for dinner or cook for them in their home.

There is that unique holiday in the United States which not so many know about and that is the Sweetest Day. Every third Saturday of October this is being observed by people solely in the U.S. Its birth dated back in 1921 when its original purpose was to give tribute to those who are sick, orphaned, poor, elderly or the many people who have been especially kind to us. When this day comes, many people try to remember to send flowers to the ones who have been extra caring and supportive to them and maybe even send large flower arrangements to retirement or nursing homes in order to cheer people up. There are also those who try to donate to food banks or homeless shelters, and if not, they at least spend time in such places.

If you know someone who loves Halloween, this is a great occasion to send someone a special, spooky flower arrangement. There are online flower shops that create Halloween bouquets featuring Halloween colors and then place the arrangement in a Jack-o-Lantern or a pumpkin. Sometimes special decorations are added such as spiders, a witch's hat or perhaps a few bats.

There are some friends of ours who are active in protecting the environment thus to give them something special on Earth Day or Arbor Day is but fit. Your friend will delight in a basket-full of live plants from your Oceanside flower shop because it's something that can be planted and enjoyed for several years.
