The meal was heavenly, the company delightful and the host, impeccable. Or, maybe it was just an impromptu get-together, with everyone chipping in to top the table. In either case, it was the host’s warm generosity that made your time together so great.

Thank the host with a floral gift that’s as charming as she is. Teleflora’s How Sweet It Is bouquet arrives with a mix of orange, yellow and pink roses, accented by delicate greens tucked in a terra-cotta pot "vase." Perched on a kitchen counter or underneath a window, this floral arrangement will be a sweet ‘n simple reminder of the evening together and your heartfelt appreciation.

She’s the friend who doesn’t ask what she can do because she has all the best ideas already. Like the time you had the flu, and she left a stack of magazines, a box of DVDs or hot soup outside your door every day until you were back up on your feet. Or the time your car was in the shop and she picked up groceries for you because, after all, she needed to go to the store anyway.

For this "it’s no problem at all, don’t think about it" friend, you want a thank-you floral gift that’s as sweet as it is lovely, as beautiful as it is charming. Teleflora’s Pink Dawn Flower Bouquet is all those things and more. A delicate mix of pink carnations, Monte Cassino asters and lisianthus arrive in a softly tinted pink keepsake cube vase. When she receives it, she’ll probably call to tell you, you shouldn’t have. But, of course, you’ll know better.

A woman you used to work with gives a recruiter your name, along with a glowing recommendation. You run into your former boss at a party, and she gives you a lead on a job that "would be perfect for you."

The fancy name for it is networking, and while some of us do it better than others, it’s no secret that following two simple rules will help keep the doors of opportunity open to you: don’t burn bridges and always remember to say thank you.

So, next time you hear that so-and-so talked you up to so-and-so or that this one passed your name on to that one, let them know how much you appreciate it with a thank-you floral gift. And, what could be more appropriate to send than a floral arrangement filled with peach roses—a symbol of appreciation and gratitude? Our Perfectly Peachy Roses bouquet arrives trimmed with bear grass and greens in a glass vase. These flowers’ classic beauty and sophisticated style will send just the message you want repeated: you’re someone worth thinking about.

They’re your constant companions (even if they live hundreds of miles away), the people you call first with news (good or bad), the ones who give it to you straight (like it or not) and the ones you probably don’t thank often enough.

Give that short list of who’s who in your life a more than justified dose of bright and beautiful gratitude with a surprise floral gift. Send them Brighten Your Day bouquets, and let them know how much their love and friendship mean to you. With a colorful mix of alstroemeria, asters, carnations and chrysanthemums, artfully arranged in a classic glass vase, it’s a floral gift that will deliver your appreciation with style and grace.
