Get Ready for Labor Day Festivities in Memphis with Fresh Flowers from Pugh’s Flowers
September is just around the corner and with it comes Labor Day on the first Monday of the month. This year, that falls on September 6th. While some see Labor Day as a three-day weekend that serves as the unofficial end to summer, others recognize that the day was created to honor the American worker. Many businesses actually close down on Labor Day, which gives many the day off to enjoy rest after working so hard. However, not everyone is so fortunate like those in retail and other service businesses. Business owners often don't get Labor Day off either. Whatever the case, Labor Day is the opportune time to show others how you appreciate what they do in helping our local and national economy. This includes small business owners who provide jobs and generate work for more people. From freelancers to employees, there are so many people out there, working hard throughout Memphis and across the country. We are so thankful for all the talented individuals who work hard in our Memphis flower shop. We also are here to help you show your appreciation this Labor Day with flowers or provide you with event flowers for an upcoming Labor Day event. Here are some ideas for using flowers this Labor Day. For business owners with employees you want to reward for their hard work, consider a bouquet each. We have many wrapped bouquets and cube vase bouquets that are a beautiful and cost-effective way to show your thanks this Labor Day. If you have a small team, we also have a wide range of special gift packages that include flowers and other thoughtful products. These package deals provide a way to say thank you and show appreciation for all the dedication your staff delivers. Even if you are not a business owner and just want to send love to someone you know works so hard, any of these floral gift items also are a nice way to transmit that sentiment. It could be an entrepreneur, freelancer, or just hard worker but it's a friend, family member, colleague, or neighbor who you know deserves some extra kudos. We also can help you with Labor Day event flowers for any Memphis venue, including your backyard or local Memphis park. Adding flowers provides a special touch to add to the overall Labor Day party. We offer centerpieces and other floral displays. Call us to make your appointment today! For other flowers and floral gifts, you can order in-person at our Memphis flower shop, call us, or use our online order form found on our website.

Celebrate Friends and Make New Ones on International Friendship Day
Things and experience are both nice to have, but something that beats everything else out in terms of value is friendship. Your friends are invaluable because they provide you with comfort, support, advice, and fun in a way your family and others cannot do. While you may be thankful for them each and every day, International Friendship Day on July 30th is a good day to let your friends know just how much they are loved. Here are some ideas on what you can do to make International Friendship Day memorable: Do something different than the normal routine with your friends. These unexpected events might include a show or weekend trip versus the usual movies and a meal out. Or, try something new like a pottery class or skydiving for more adventure. Think about what you've talked about doing but never have and then plan that. Instead of getting a greeting card, write a note the defines what the friendship means to you. This will be more meaningful and memorable for your friend or friends. Friendship so often involves laughter, so do something that can make your friend laugh, such as send them a funny meme or video. If you can't see them in-person, then call or FaceTime your friend or friends so they know that you are thinking of them. Make every day a friendship day, showing them appreciation and doing your best to be just as good a friend to them as they are to you. Of course, getting some of your friends a gift is also a nice gesture on International Friendship Day. Our Memphis flower and gift shop as well as our website offer you many great gifts for your friends: We have all types of plants and plant packages that may include a green or blooming plant along with a greeting card, balloon, or other add-on item. If your friend is a foodie, consider our charcuterie basket or if they love to be pampered, send them a spa gift package. Any flowers that match their preference makes a good gift or you can be more symbolic and get them yellow roses, sunflowers, or any other yellow flower since this color is a symbol of friendship. International Friendship Day is also a good day to actively seek out other people to be friends with and expand your social circle. It's also a good opportunity to practice the traits of friendship with everyone around you, emphasizing kindness and. thoughtfulness for everyone you come in contact with.
