Summer breaks seem shorter than ever these days, and right after the kids get out of school for the season, it feels like August arrives and it’s time to head back to the store to buy pencils, paper, and books. This year, surprise your student with a gift orflowers from Boyd’s in Wilmington.

Flowers as a Symbol of New Beginnings

Flowers brighten anyone’s day, and they’re a particularly welcome sight when someone is embarking on something new and unknown. You might think about a cheerful vase of carnations, daisies, and solidaster to welcome home your new high school student or just a few daisies in a small vase to show your enthusiasm for your new junior high student.

Sorbet Bouquet

If the school allows for it, you can even have flowers delivered on the first day to surprise the student during class. Ensure an exciting and hopeful start to the new school year with a beautiful vase of flowers. You can also offer subtle encouragement with just a few flowers in a small bouquet or a cute little vase of colorful roses.

Gifts to Surprise a New Student

If your child is a little too young for a vase of roses or you have a friend or relative with a child starting elementary school, there are a variety of fun gifts that are perfect for encouragement. Kids love colorful school supplies, and a special pencil case that’s monogrammed with the child’s initials or name is a fun gift.

Ideas for the Adult Student

Do you know a friend or family member who’s returning to school? Do you have a child headed to college this fall? A bright vase of flowers is a vivid way to offer encouragement when classes start. For the college student headed to live in a dorm room, a small desktop plant or a dish garden from mom or dad will make the dorm feel like home.

You may want to time a flower delivery to arrive shortly after classes begin as encouragement for the semester ahead. Do you have a friend embarking on his or her last year of a doctoral degree? Is someone you know in their last year of law school? Remind them that you’re proud of their achievement with a flower delivery.

Create excitement and beauty for a loved one or friend’s return to school this year with a delivery of flowers, a desktop plant, or a school-themed gift. Before you know it, it’ll be time for graduation!
