Gifts of Kindness on Sweetest Day

Are you familiar with Sweetest Day? If not, you should be. This wonderful little holiday observance is popular throughout the Midwest and Northeast, and has been around for approximately 100 years. Originally established by candy companies who donated boxes of sweets to those in need, the day has evolved to represent any sweet gestures made to help someone who may need encouragement. So whether you want to cheer up your favorite aunt who is recuperating from an illness, or to encourage the single mom working hard every day - October 21 is the perfect day to send your best wishes. And Bice's Florist has the sweetest floral designs and gifts to help you! A Little History: The original efforts by candy company executives were met by cynicism, as skeptics suspected the businessmen of attempting to start yet another commercial holiday that benefited their pocketbooks. However, it never did catch on as a "candy" holiday, more as a day for acts of kindness.  Read More about Gifts of Kindness on Sweetest Day »

Boss’s Day Flowers & Gifts

In 1958, a woman named Patricia Bays Haroski had an idea. As an employee at Chicago-based State Farm Insurance, she thought that a day set aside to enhance and encourage positive employee/employer relationships could create a more positive workplace overall. Four years after proposing her idea to the Illinois government, governor Otto Kerner made the observance official. Although the day was never made a federal holiday, it is recognized across the country, as well as in South Africa, India and Australia. If you work in Fort Worth and have a great employer, National Boss's Day is the perfect time to show them appreciation. Gather a few of your coworkers, and check out the online collections at Bice's Florist - we are happy to deliver direct to your office on October 16.  Read More about Boss’s Day Flowers & Gifts »

Flowers & Plants for Housewarming Parties

If you have ever moved into a new home, especially in a new area, you know that the whole process can be a bit stressful. Between wrangling hundreds of boxes, several children, and figuring out when the internet company will be showing up, there is a lot going on. It can be a relief when the knock at the door reveals a friendly face offering a home cooked meal, a helping hand, or simply a smile to say "welcome to the neighborhood". If one of your family members or friends have moved, you may wish to help them settle in and feel like they are home. History tells us that the original housewarming parties, hundreds of years ago, were arranged to provide firewood to new homeowners so they could survive the winter - quite literally "house-warming". But times have changed, and Bice's Flowers has the floral arrangements and plants that will instead warm their hearts and help to make their house a home.  Read More about Flowers & Plants for Housewarming Parties »
