Gift Ideas for the Person Who’s Allergic to Flowers

Thoughtful Alternatives To Accommodate Everyone On Your List

When it comes to expressing love, appreciation, or sympathy, flowers have been a traditional and time-honored choice. Their beauty and fragrance can convey sentiments that words alone may struggle to express. However, not everyone can enjoy the charm of fresh blooms due to allergies – and there is simply nothing worse than offering someone a gift that they can’t accept! In such cases, finding the perfect, thoughtful, and allergy-friendly gift is key. The good news is Allen’s Flower Market carries an extensive selection of gifts, from wine boxes to baked goods, balloons to candles. Here are some creative and meaningful alternatives to flowers:

• Consider indulging your loved ones with a gourmet gift basket filled with delectable treats. From artisanal chocolates to savory snacks, gourmet gift baskets offer a wide array of options. You can tailor the contents to the recipient’s taste, making it a thoughtful and personalized gift. We love the idea of sending wine and chocolate-covered strawberries – a double delight.
  
• Scented candles are an excellent alternative for those who miss the aroma of fresh flowers. They come in various fragrances, from soothing lavender to uplifting citrus. Opt for a high-quality scented candle to add a touch of luxury to your gift. Allen’s Flower Market carries a variety of gorgeous aromatic candles, including Lavender, Pear & Pomegranate, and Apple Cinnamon. 
  
• A hand-written card is a classic choice that allows you to express yourself while getting creative with the card’s cover artwork. We carry a cheerful selection of general and occasion-specific cards to suit your every need.
  
• Delight the sweet tooth in your life with a box of decadent chocolates or an assortment of freshly baked cookies. Gourmet sweets are a delightful way to indulge. Check out our selection of macarons, mousse, cookies and cupcakes. 
  
• A cozy teddy is a superb option for a younger loved one or for someone who is feeling sick or in need of special comfort. When in doubt, a cuddle buddy is always a good gift idea.
  
• Potted plants are an excellent choice for those who can’t enjoy traditional flowers but still appreciate greenery. From elegant orchids to low-maintenance succulents, there’s a plant to suit every personality. Potted plants provide long-lasting beauty and can be a source of joy for years to come.

If allergies make floral gifts a no-no, don’t worry - there are numerous thoughtful alternatives to traditional flowers. By selecting a gift that aligns with your loved one’s interests and preferences, you can convey your sentiments and create a lasting impression.
