Hostess gifts and housewarming flowers
Bringing a bottle is fine. Bringing flowers is better, and having them delivered the day before is best of all, because the host is not hunting for a vase while the oven timer goes off.
Friendsgiving and dinner parties
Send a bouquet a day ahead of the party so the host can put it on the table. Autumn colours work through November; whites and greens through December.
Housewarmings
A new apartment rarely has a vase yet, so choose a hand-tied bouquet with greenery that lasts. Our care guide shows how to keep it fresh for a week or more.

Want something made just for them?
Share a budget, colours and favourite flowers. A florist chats with you to shape it, then sends a final price for you to approve.
Request a custom bouquetQuestions we get asked
Should I bring flowers to a dinner party or send them?
Sending them the day before is kindest, since the host can arrange them before guests arrive. If you bring them, a hand-tied bouquet is easier for the host than loose stems.
What is a good housewarming gift in New York?
Flowers are a safe, welcome choice because they do not take up storage space in a small apartment. A long-lasting bouquet with plenty of greenery is ideal.
