What flowers to give for the New Year. What flowers do you give for the New Year? What flowers are given for the New Year?

Well, the New Year is already on the threshold - a magnificent holiday! On this holiday, it is customary to please relatives and loved ones, it is customary to buy and give gifts. Choosing gifts for the New Year is a responsible and pleasant matter. In search of interesting and original gift options, we always think about what to give for the New Year. But it would be a good idea to always keep in mind a list of gifts that cannot be given for the New Year. Let's list them
so as not to bring misfortune and failure upon oneself, according to many beliefs.

So, on New Year's Eve there is a taboo on sharp objects - for example, blades, knives - since the latter bring negativity into the house. There is a belief that piercing and cutting objects, including knives and scissors,
Even hairpins and pins cannot be given as gifts.

Moreover, this belief has existed for a long time and not only among the Slavs, but also among other peoples. The Chinese believe that when a cutting object is given as a gift, it seems to cut a person’s aura. This makes a person less resistant to troubles and diseases. The Slavs do not give knives as gifts, because it is believed that such a gift leads to a serious quarrel and a break in relations.

You cannot give a watch so that, as they think in China, it does not begin to count down the year of death. You should not give a book to your spouse, so as not to invite betrayal.

Since dishes will lead to lack of money, it is better to forget about purchasing them. The same applies to empty men's and women's wallets.

Pearls as a gift are a sea of ​​tears, illnesses and losses. It can only be given if the pearl is a person’s stone. Therefore, you do not need to buy it, like any medical devices, in order not to get sick.

Folk omens also do not recommend giving money to loved ones for the New Year, since in this way you can lose your own fortune. But I don’t agree with this, since many people prefer to receive money instead of a gift, and this is, in principle, understandable,
after all, a person himself will be able to buy with them what he would like to receive as a gift for the New Year.

There is a taboo on mirrors, as the object is considered mystical and can attract strange phenomena into the house.

You should also not give pets as gifts, as by doing so you burden the person with unnecessary responsibility,
but not everyone will like it.

When it comes to whether it is possible to give flowers for the New Year, then everything is very complicated and it is quite problematic to answer unequivocally. If you want to give flowers, always find out in advance what types of plants the person likes.

You cannot give indoor flowers. It is believed that by giving indoor plants they give away their bad luck. You can't give cacti as a gift - they bring danger into the house. Yellow flowers signify separation. Some believe that making such gifts is not ethical; flowers in pots can only be given to close people if you know that the person loves them and can provide them with care.
They will accept a lot, but it’s up to you to believe in them or not.


The most important advice for men. Never buy cosmetics for your girlfriend, unless you are sure, of course.
This is exactly the kind of cosmetics your lady needs.

Only a woman can give cosmetics to a woman.
Also, you should not give your beloved woman jewelry, which in itself already indicates cheapness.

What else do you need to know about the symbol of 2015 when choosing gifts?

The mistress of the next year is a sheep (or according to some versions, a goat), a very active animal, therefore gifts “filled with movement” are very welcome in the New Year 2015. These are gifts of experience that are a coupon for active leisure activities - a dancing or horse riding lesson,
a lesson at the climbing wall (think of the graceful and fast mountain goats) or a subscription to the fitness center.

Nowadays, many people prefer to spend time in warm countries. Therefore, it is quite reasonable to give a tourist voucher as a gift. If you are not short on funds, give your loved ones a trip to some hot country. If you don’t have much money, then you can give preference to one of the Russian sanatoriums.

Often people want to change their mobile phone, but since the old one is still working they don’t do it. Give your loved ones a mobile phone and you will surely cheer them up and leave pleasant memories with your gift!

Today there are a huge number of hardware, clothing, and underwear stores where you can purchase gift certificates.
To do this, you only need to find out which stores the person you want to give a gift to loves.

There are so many technical gadgets and gadgets that are not available in stores today. Perhaps anyone would be happy with an e-book or an air ionizer!

You should never give a box of chocolates as a full-fledged gift. If the person to whom you are going to give a gift loves sweets, it is best to buy or order exclusive confectionery products.

As for bed linen, it is not forbidden to give it as a gift, unlike underwear. Therefore, if you are still wondering whether you can give bed linen as a gift for the New Year, then feel free to buy a set.

Choosing an original gift for a child is a little more difficult. You can't get by with just sweets and souvenirs. This requires a real miracle, magic! Children are very impressionable and know how to truly enjoy everything unusual. If you have a small son or daughter, and funds do not limit your choice, go on a fabulous trip with your children or simply take them to a place where they have long dreamed of visiting -
make your childhood dream come true...

But remember that there is always an exception to any rule. Therefore, think not just what to give for the New Year, but what exactly to give to a specific person. While rushing to choose gifts for your family and friends in the holiday bustle, be sure to remember what you cannot give for the New Year 2015.
You may not believe in omens, but the person for whom the gift is intended may well believe in them.

In our country, the custom of giving flowers for the New Year is not yet particularly popular. The more unusual your gift will look, complemented by a flower arrangement. This is very impressive: winter, snow, cold, and a blooming flower in the house! Read about what flowers are relevant for a New Year's gift.

Grade

According to all the canons of eco-trends, flowers in pots are the most nature-friendly option for a green gift. By the way, some plants bloom in winter. And this is another reason to give them as a gift.

Christmas star

The name of this plant speaks for itself. There is also a legend associated with it, according to which the child really wanted to bring a gift for Christ. But the boy was poor and could not buy anything. Therefore, he looked for plants that remained alive under the snow. When he brought the plants to the church, they suddenly blossomed into beautiful bright red flowers.

Nowadays you can find Christmas star (or poinsettia) with red, pink, cream, lilac or greenish bracts. But remember that this is a flower. And despite its winter name, there is no need to store it in the cold for a long time. Therefore, when going on a visit, carefully pack the pot.

Hippeastrum

This flower is adored throughout Europe. It can also be seen in old paintings and postcards. It resembles a lily. But only the flowers are located at the top of one stem. The most common colors are red and white. It is these flowers, like the Christmas star, that are often imitated in New Year and Christmas decor.

Decembrist

The name of this flower is also eloquent. Flowering season is late November - late January. Accordingly, the peak is in December. Decembrist is scientifically called zygocactus. And, like all cacti, it is unpretentious in care. At the same time, it pleases the eye with flowers of various shades: old, bright pink, coral, dark red.

The only thing you need to remember is that the flower is quite fragile. And during flowering it is better not to touch the petals again.

Hellebore

Similar to the legend of the Christmas star is the story of the hellebore. At the birth of Christ, people brought many gifts. Everyone was ready to give away what was most valuable. But the poor shepherdess had nothing. The angel, who saw her experiences, flew by and threw a white flower at her feet. She presented it as a gift. Interestingly, hellebore grows even under snow.

When making New Year's bouquets, you can use various cut flowers. For example, roses, eustoma, chrysanthemums.

2015 is the year of the blue Goat. But this does not mean that it is necessary to tint flowers or look, for example, only irises. It is enough to use blue shades in the design of a bouquet or give it as a gift regardless of its connection to this color.

Giving gifts is a way to show your warm feelings to family and friends. In addition, a great occasion is approaching - New Year. It's great if the choice fell on indoor flowers. Living plants lift your spirits and bring a festive atmosphere to your home.

Poinsettia

In European countries, symbols of the Christmas miracle are given as gifts during the New Year holidays. For example, poinsettia is a shrub associated with a wonderful legend.

Poinsettia, or beautiful spurge - one of the best gifts for Christmas

On Christmas Eve, in a village in Mexico, people were making gifts for Jesus. Little Maria accidentally ruined the craft and did not have time to make a new one. On Christmas Eve, people crowded around the church, showing each other the gifts they had prepared. Only Maria had nothing to show and she wandered away in tears. Suddenly she saw a bright star above the road. A voice from heaven said: “Don’t cry, child! Jesus will accept any gift you give if it is given with all your heart. Your love will make it special." The girl picked twigs from the nearest bush and rushed to the church. When she entered, bright red flowers, like stars, bloomed on the plucked shoots. The girl’s God-loving heart performed a miracle. Since then, this shrub has been nicknamed the Christmas star.

White and red poinsettias go well together

The Christmas star is given to loved ones. The bright bracts give it an unusual appearance; the flowers themselves are small and inconspicuous. The freshness of a plant is determined by the pollen on the crown. If it's not there, everything is fine. Flowering lasts from December to March, then the poinsettia falls off and goes into a dormant period until autumn.

The shrub does not tolerate drafts and cold. When transporting from the store in winter, it is wrapped in paper to prevent the leaves from freezing.

At the end of flowering, the poinsettia is cut to 10 cm in height, transplanted into fresh soil and put in a cool, shaded place, watering occasionally.

In the wild, poinsettia is a tall shrub up to 3 m in height. There are many varieties of poinsettia with unusual colors. One of the most popular Christmas varieties of poinsettia in the West is Jingle bell rock. White poinsettia looks very elegant. Yellow poinsettias look good paired with red ones. Poinsettia with bracts of different colors - a fantastic sight. Poinsettias with an orange color are rarely seen on sale. The latest innovation from breeders is poinsettia with intricately curved bracts.

Christmas cactus

Decembrist, or Schlumbergera, also blooms when others are resting. This epiphytic cactus is popularly called Rozhdestvennik, or Varvarina Krasa. It blooms on December 17 - the Day of Remembrance of St. Barbara. This plant is decorative in both winter and summer. The Decembrist is a symbol of beauty and wisdom; it is presented to beloved women. Graceful tubular cactus flowers come in a variety of colors. The plants are unpretentious, but do not like rearrangements during budding.

In winter, the Christmas tree is decorated with dozens of flowers

Decembrist is bought in buds Schlumbergera forms flowers at the tips of the shoots The most common Christmas flowers are with pink flowers Schlumbergera Kris kringle has scarlet flowers Schlumbergera Livia blooms so profusely that the leaves are not visible Decembrist with white flowers fascinates with its beauty The rarest Decembrists are yellow and orange Often on New Year's holidays give the variety Christmas Fantasy

Hippeastrum

The stronger sex also needs the inspiring energy of flowers. A good gift for a beloved man is hippeastrum, translated from Greek as star rider. This bulbous plant impresses with its exquisite funnel-shaped flowers. It symbolizes an unbridled flight of fantasy and is suitable for men engaged in intellectual work.

Hippeastrum comes from the American tropics

Water the plant along the edge of the pot, being careful not to get it on the bulb. When the leaves wither, a period of dormancy will begin. The pot with hippeastrum is transferred to a dark, cool place for 1.5–3 months and watered once every 3 weeks.

A period of rest is necessary for bulbous plants to bloom again.

If you need an unusual flower for a bright personality, choose hippeastrum Papilio
Hippeastrum Black Pearl has dark cherry petals with almost black veins. Hippeastrum Rio Negro has light green stripes on its petals

Cyclamen

Indoor plants that symbolize happiness and harmony are always in demand. On New Year's Day they are brought into the house by cyclamen, whose leaves are shaped like hearts.

The heart-shaped leaves of cyclamen often have an interesting silvery pattern.

Pink, scarlet, white or purple flowers hover above them like butterflies. This is a budget gift that you can make your friends and acquaintances happy with. Most often, hybrids of Persian cyclamen are sold in stores.

Many hybrid varieties of cyclamen with a variety of flower colors have been developed.

The corm plant blooms for 4 weeks, then enters a dormant period. Some varieties even shed their leaves. To extend the life of cyclamen, keep it in a cool room at a temperature of + 13–15 o C.

With excessive watering, the cyclamen corm rots

Bromeliads

Friends and relatives will be happy if instead of a cut down Christmas tree you present them with an original indoor flower. The tops of plants of the bromeliad family are crowned with bright inflorescences that resemble fancy cones, candles and stars.

Ekhmeya

Some epiphytes bloom once in a lifetime, but unforgettably. These plants include striped echmea, which protects owners from apathy and melancholy. It is difficult not to freeze in admiration at the sight of bright pink and blue sepals in a huge star-shaped inflorescence.

Aechmea's homeland is Central and South America

Echmea loves moist air, so the pot is placed in a tray with pebbles, with water poured into the bottom. After flowering for several months, the exotic plant slowly fades away.

Be careful, the juice of aechmea leaves is irritating to the skin.

Guzmania

An elevated festive mood is guaranteed to those who receive a fireworks plant as a gift. Evergreen guzmania with bright bracts tones and invigorates those around you.

When the green mass grows, the gusmania will turn the plastic pot over, so it is placed in a heavy pot

If the plant seems too bulky, choose dwarf varieties.

Dwarf Guzmanias are easier to transport

After flowering for 17 weeks, the main trunk withers. The life of the plant is extended by rooting its shoots.

My New Year's gifts

My family doesn’t usually present plants for the New Year, but as a florist, sometimes I get something special. The most impressive New Year's gift is striped echmea. Its enchanting flower blooms slowly and pleases for 3 months. The leaves, decorated with a silvery winter pattern, are also incredibly beautiful. She lived until the summer, then disappeared. Now I know that the plant could have been saved by planting the babies. In 4 years they would also bloom.
The most unusual gift I received was decorative nightshade, or solanum. This low shrub resembles a decorated Christmas tree. In winter, it is strewn with red-orange round berries. But be careful, you can’t eat them because they are poisonous.

On March 8th, the male population of Russia unanimously buys all the goods in flower shops - it is considered a complete bad manners to appear in front of close and beloved women without a bouquet. What should you wear to visit a lady for New Year?

In fact, there are no rules prohibiting delighting owners with live floral arrangements in the middle of winter; on the contrary, in most European countries this is a sign of good manners and good taste. However, the role of tradition is extremely important - it most often influences the choice of colors.

What flowers are given for the New Year?

No. 5 – waiting for spring

Winter has not yet crossed its middle, but the dream of the March thaw and the April sun is already ripening in the heart. Therefore, a special spring bouquet of daffodils, irises or tulips will be a delightful surprise that will definitely not leave any woman indifferent.

By the way, it is the Christmas holidays that give rise to a new round of excitement at Dutch flower auctions. It turns out that the multi-colored tulips for the New Year are preferred by millions of people around the world. These delicate and vulnerable buds are beautiful on their own - you shouldn’t combine them with anything else.

No. 4 – a lot of winter and a little summer

Special holiday baskets filled with fir branches are very popular on Christmas Eve. Small neat cones, in their natural charm, covered with gold or artificial frost, will also not hurt. But in any case, this is not yet a real bouquet - such a gift lacks a touch of tenderness.

A few carnations, gracefully “lost” among the prickly spruce paws, will help make the gift more sublime. Just don’t choose buds of a revolutionary scarlet hue - many will find this option too pompous. But cream flowers against a background of lush greenery, dusted with “snow,” will perfectly convey the special mood of the main romantic night of the year.

No. 3 – bright and unpretentious

In Russia, chrysanthemums have gained fame as the most “winter” flowers. A huge selection of shapes, sizes and colors allows you to create real floral masterpieces from these buds. In addition, the flower is unpretentious and durable; it will easily survive a trip on public transport to your beloved’s house, even at sub-zero temperatures.

You can create funny figures from chrysanthemums, weave them into wreaths along with spruce paws, or simply give a huge bouquet of lush “curly” balls intertwined with several threads of golden serpentine. It will turn out stylish and very solemn!

No. 2 – a gift for the Snow Queen

Most Europeans associate New Year with snow, ice and frosty patterns on glass. That is why blue-white-blue colors are so in demand when decorating winter bouquets. But it is not at all necessary to run around the shops looking for flowers of all these shades; snow-white roses will be enough, with which you can fill a basket decorated in a special way.

Fir branches are perfect as a base, between which, like shining snowballs, such beautiful and so vulnerable buds will be located. But the handle of the basket should be wrapped with a bright blue ribbon and a strip of silver tinsel, securing them with an elegant bow to match. It will turn out very solemn and stylish.

No. 1 – Santa Claus' favorite shades

The most popular winter bouquet combines three shades that embody the true New Year's ambiance - dark green, piercing red and gold. Large scarlet roses in a duet with cedar or pine branches intertwined with golden metallic serpentine lace will help convey a special festive mood.

In any case, when going to your beloved this evening, you should take flowers with you - what, if anything, can put a woman in a romantic mood? We must not forget: the next 365 days will depend on the mood in which to greet the coming year!
