Why Flowers + Gifts Make a Bigger Impact

It’s the Little Extras That Say a Lot

Sure, flowers are already a powerful gesture, but when you pair them with a small, meaningful gift, it shows you went the extra mile. That chocolate bar, candle, or handwritten card turns a beautiful bouquet into a full experience.

We recently had a customer from Gunnison order a bright and cheery bouquet for her sister’s birthday. She added a lavender-scented candle from one of our favorite local artisans. When we delivered the package, her sister actually teared up—it was the perfect blend of beauty and comfort.

A Gift Engages All the Senses

Flowers already delight the eyes and nose, but a little gift can engage even more senses. Think of a luxury soap that smells amazing, a tea blend that warms the soul, or a cozy mug to enjoy it in. Together, the combination creates a lasting impression.

Perfect Pairings: Small Gifts That Go With Any Bouquet

Tried-and-True Favorites

There are some classic combinations that never fail to please:

• Chocolates – Whether it’s a decadent truffle box or locally made salted caramels
• Candles – Choose calming scents like lavender or warm ones like vanilla or cinnamon
• Keepsake vases or planters – A lovely way to make the gift last beyond the blooms
• Handwritten cards – Simple but so impactful when paired with heartfelt flowers

Locally Inspired and One-of-a-Kind

At Hosanna Floral, we love to support fellow Colorado makers. Some of our favorites include:

• Lavender sachets from the Western Slope
• Mini succulents in handmade ceramic pots
• Honey and herbal tea samplers from local farms
• Floral-themed jewelry or notecards crafted by artists in Montrose

One customer from Telluride ordered a wedding congratulations bouquet and included a locally made soy candle and handcrafted card. The couple sent us a thank-you message saying it was “one of the most thoughtful gifts we received.”

Gifting by Occasion: Add-Ons That Make the Moment

For Weddings and Engagements

• Add a floral-inspired necklace, ring dish, or elegant keepsake frame
• A calming essential oil roller is perfect for pre-wedding nerves

For Birthdays

• Pair bright blooms with cupcakes, a specialty soap, or a colorful reusable mug
• Include a mini celebration banner or birthday confetti tucked in the gift bag

For Get-Well Wishes

• Herbal tea, a soft blanket, or a small plant that’s easy to care for
• A book of uplifting quotes or a soothing scented eye pillow

We recently helped a client in Ouray design a get-well delivery that included a sunflower bouquet, chamomile tea, and a hand-painted “thinking of you” stone. The recipient later told us she felt genuinely cared for—like it was made just for her (because it was).

Why Choose a Local Florist & Gift Shop Over a Big Online Retailer?

Personalized Service, Every Time

When you shop from a large online chain, you're often selecting from generic bundles. At Hosanna Floral, every arrangement and gift combo is hand-designed by real people who care. We get to know your preferences and offer suggestions tailored to your occasion and recipient.

A customer in Montrose recently called us looking for something “extra meaningful” for her parents’ 40th anniversary. We created a lush rose and eucalyptus bouquet, paired it with an engraved photo frame and a handwritten card with her message. It wasn’t just beautiful—it was personal.

Fresher Flowers, Thoughtful Gifts

We source our flowers locally whenever possible, which means they’re fresher and last longer than what you’d get from mass-produced options. The same goes for our gifts—they’re thoughtfully curated, often handmade, and always selected with care.

Need flowers and a gift today? No problem. We offer same-day flower delivery throughout Montrose, Ridgway, Ouray, Telluride, Gunnison, and Crested Butte. Whether you order online or give us a call, we’ll make sure it gets there fast—and beautifully arranged.
