Welcome to life – how companies can celebrate a new arrival with flowers
The birth of a baby is a wonderful reason to celebrate – and not just within the family. For companies, a thoughtfully chosen bouquet of flowers is a heartfelt gesture to congratulate new parents on their team.
Flowers – the perfect business gift to celebrate a new arrival
Whether new parents love having visitors or prefer to spend time at home – a personal bouquet of flowers always touches the heart. Fleurop delivers the flowers directly to any address – wherever mum and dad may be. If you wish, we can also add a cuddly teddy bear. A stylish and heartfelt way for your company to show its appreciation.
Pink for girls, light blue for boys? It used to be the other way around
Blue for boys, pink for girls? That is the rule today. But interestingly, before the First World War, pink was associated with boys. Red was considered a symbol of masculinity, which is why pink – known as «little red» – was used exclusively for boys. When blue naval uniforms and workwear became widespread during the war, blue suddenly became associated with men and light blue with little boys. Pink therefore became the colour for little girls.

Aww, a cuddly teddy bear for an extra surprise
A survey conducted by Fleurop showed that, during childhood, after parents and pets, a teddy bear was the favourite cuddle companion. So why not add a cuddly teddy bear to the flowers? We offer this childhood favourite in white and brown. It is CE-certified and, of course, washable.
And it also delights grown-up children. We speak from experience.

Chocolate ladybirds – a gift full of meaning
We wish you lots of happiness! Of course, to the new arrival, but also to the parents. That is why our charming lucky ladybird makes a lovely additional surprise when visiting the new mum. The cheerful packaging in the shape of a large ladybird is already a delight. And when you open its wings, 32 little ladybirds filled with praline await you. A true good-luck charm!

Wine or prosecco? Not a good idea for breastfeeding mothers
Of course, it would be lovely to raise a glass of prosecco or wine to celebrate the new addition to the family. But experts advise against it. You may hear that an occasional glass of wine is fine. However, a breastfeeding break of at least two and a half hours would be necessary to ensure that no alcohol remains in the blood or breast milk. To be on the safe side, it is therefore best to avoid alcohol and, if appropriate, raise a glass with the new father and the family instead.
