With back-to-school season here,  it’s the time we start thinking about teacher gifts, thank you notes, and for those of us with college kids in our lives, tokens we can send to let them know we’re missing them like crazy.

For a gift idea that makes a bigger impression than a card but isn’t a bouquet of flowers that will die in a few days, check out the beautiful offerings from our sponsor FreshCut Paper.

These artist-designed, pop-up floral cards are such a treat to receive! Open the stunning envelope, and it “blooms” into a vibrant floral arrangement.

English Daffodils Bouquet

They’re perfect for thank you notes to teachers, “thinking of you” cards for college students, engagements, weddings,  baby showers, birthdays — really or any time you want to send something a bit more than a card.

By the way, FreshCut Paper bouquets are fantastic for environments like dorms, hospitals, and nursing homes where live flowers aren’t convenient, but a big pop of peonies, a vase of sunflowers, or a pot of perfect orchids would be appreciated.

(If you’ve ever seen how a college student’s plants look a few months into the school year…well, you get it.)

New Sunflower Bouquet

Bonus: FreshCut Paper flowers have a 300x lower carbon footprint than traditional bouquets, and have helped plant over 3 million trees with a donation to 1% For The Planet for every bouquet purchased. The paper is also fully recyclable — but it’s more likely that they’ll be kept forever.
