Thanksgiving comes with its own unique history, traditional food fare, autumn colors and family and friendship 'round the table and throughout the house. Of the more than a dozen claims to the first Thanksgiving, two occur in Virginia, one in Texas, and the most well-known in Plymouth, Massachusetts, where some 50 pilgrims and about 90 Indians dined in thankfulness, perhaps for the peace they were enjoying as much as the meal.

Floral arrangements specifically designed for Thanksgiving include wonderful fall-theme bouquets with interesting choices of glass vases, baskets, woven cornucopias and burlap wrapped containers. The centerpieces are divine, especially those with candles or a hurricane glass.
At Home: When you are hosting Thanksgiving dinner, you want your table and living spaces to look warm and inviting, and fresh flowers raise the bar on home decor in a beautiful way.
Flowers are simply one of nature's most breathtaking achievements, and autumn one of the most warm and wonderful of seasons. Popular flowers in fall colors include:
chrysanthemums ~ sweet
lilies ~ bold
daisies ~ whimsical
sunflowers ~ impressive
carnations ~ happy
roses ~ lovely, always lovely
At the Office: Besides having pretty flowers adorn your office, lobby, waiting room or workspace, consider having autumn flower gift baskets delivered a few days before Thanksgiving for you and your co-workers to enjoy a time of corporate gratitude for your jobs and work environment. If so inclined, you could send a basket or floral delivery to your employees, thanking them for their work.
At the Home of a Friend or Relative: A hostess gift is de rigueur for anyone going to another's home for Thanksgiving dinner, brunch, other meal or gathering during the holiday. Fresh flowers can be sent a day early, or you can have them delivered to yourself for taking with you. If you know that the host and/or hostess loves exceptional gourmet treats like specialty tea and coffee, delightful chocolates, premium crackers, biscotti, unusual jams or jellies ... and much more, then ring the doorbell with a gourmet gift basket in your arms. Incredible thankfulness will begin at the very moment you smile and hand over the flowers, the gift basket or both and say: "This is for you!"
