Repeat After Me: Celebrate National Repeat Day with Flowers!

Jun3

Because some things are just too beautiful to enjoy only once.

What Is National Repeat Day?

Celebrated every year on June 3, National Repeat Day is a playful reminder to enjoy life’s pleasures twice—maybe even more! Whether it’s rewatching a favorite movie, rereading a beloved book, or—yes—sending flowers again, this day gives us all permission to double up on what brings us joy.

At Eden Florist (and here on Tulips Talk), we believe that beauty, kindness, and fresh blooms are always worth repeating.

Why Flowers Are the Perfect Way to Celebrate Repeat Day

Flowers have a way of brightening a room, lifting spirits, and creating memories. But here’s the thing—those good feelings? They don’t have to be one-time experiences.

Sending flowers again to someone you’ve already surprised this year (or even this week!) is a charming way to say: “You’re still on my mind.”

Reordering a favorite bouquet is like reliving a beautiful moment.

Treating yourself to the same arrangement twice in a row? That’s self-care with style.

Ways to Celebrate National Repeat Day

1. The “Again Arrangement”

“Order your favorite bouquet from the past 6 months, and we’ll add a free tulip or rose—because beauty deserves an encore!”

2. Send Flowers Twice in One Week
“Repeat the Love” —send a bouquet to the same person (or yourself!) twice in one week. Perfect for anniversaries, congratulations, or just because.

3. Flower Subscription
What better way to celebrate the joy of repetition than with a monthly bouquet?

Real-World Inspiration

One customer sent the same bouquet to her mom every month for six months—because it was her favorite. On the seventh month, she switched it up… and her mom asked for the original again!

A loyal customer once gifted the same romantic red rose arrangement every month to her partner with a different note attached: “Because one ‘I love you’ isn’t enough.”

Florists we know often say repeat customers ordering the same bouquet are expressing tradition, nostalgia, and love. It becomes their signature gift!

Beauty Is Meant to Be Repeated

Flowers speak volumes without saying a word—and sometimes, their message is even more powerful when repeated. This National Repeat Day, why not embrace the joy of giving (and receiving) flowers again?

After all, if something made you smile once, imagine what it can do the second time around.

Today is Administrative Professionals Day

Apr26

"Gerbera Greetings for Secretaries Day"This annual event was originally organized in 1952 as “National Secretaries Week” by the National Secretaries Association (now known as the International Association of Administrative Professionals) in conjunction with public relations executive Harry Klemfuss and a consortium of office product manufacturers. It was established as an effort to recognize secretaries for their contributions in the workplace, and to attract people to secretarial/administrative careers. 

In the year 2000, IAAP announced a name change for Professional Secretaries Week and Professional Secretaries Day. The names were changed to Administrative Professionals Week and Administrative Professionals Day to keep pace with changing job titles and expanding responsibilities of today’s administrative workforce.

Over the years, Administrative Professionals Week has become one of the largest workplace observances. The event is celebrated worldwide, bringing together millions of people for community events, educational seminars, and individual corporate activities recognizing support staff with gifts of appreciation.

Today, there are more than 4.1 million secretaries and administrative assistants working in the United States, according to U.S. Department of Labor statistics, and 8.9 million people working in various administrative support roles. More than 475,000 administrative professionals are employed in Canada. Millions more administrative professionals work in offices all over the world.

Remember: there’s still time to order flowers for your assistant. Just give Eden Florist a call at 954-981-5515 or visit our website at www.EdenFlorist.com.

We Specialize in DOGHOUSE REPAIRS

Jul17

"We Specialize in DOGHOUSE REPAIRS - doghouse logoEver since the dawn of time, people (mostly men) have been in the doghouse.  Imagine how much trouble Adam would have been in if he had not eaten that apple!  He might have had to spend the night (or several) in the dogasaurus cave! But that’s another story….

For as long as I can remember, people (mostly men) have been coming into my florist and saying “Help, I’m in the doghouse.”  In fact, I can remember the very first time a customer said that to me, I replied, “No problem, we specialize in doghouse repairs.”

And so began what would one day become a national holiday. Now Get out of the Doghouse DAy is not really a celebration.  I mean how could it be?  Its more of an observance. Because most of the time people (mostly men) are looking for something to “smooth things over.”  While flowers can certainly help get back in the intended’s good graces, it is easier to be forgiven when the offender is remorseful, sincere and he (or she) ads a dash of romance.

Now, I’m not suggesting you BEG Forgiveness (unless the situation warrants it), I am suggesting that bringing home a bouquet and being open to talking it out will give you a better chance of “getting out of the doghouse.”

In 2002 my staff and I conducted a survey and a majority of women said that although they preferred to talk about their troubles, they also thought flowers were a romantic way to ask for forgiveness. For men the answer was much simpler. They prefer make-up sex. Maybe adding a petals around the house and on the bed would satisfy both!

So next time you are in the doghouse think of flowers as a start… flowers suggest romance and let’s face it, romance is what most people (mostly women) really want.

So next time you are in the doghouse, bring home a bouquet and a willingness to talk things out and you could find yourself out of the doghouse and back in the Main House.

And remember, Eden Florist specializes in “doghouse repairs.”
