Over 35 million people have to stay in the hospital every year for one reason or another. Whether it's a temporary injury or a long-term illness, your loved one in the hospital needs your love and support. As helpless as you may feel when someone you love needs medical attention, there are things you can do to show your best wishes and support, such as sending one of our Infinity Flowerboxes. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when sending flowers to a hospital.
Check beforehand
Before you can send a flower arrangement to a patient in the hospital, you should get some important information. You need to know the patient's full name, room number, and of course the name and address of the hospital itself. You can find the information about the hospital either online or by calling the front desk, and you can get the patient's information from a friend or relative. Make sure the patient is actually still in the hospital before you send the Infinity Roses – you don't want them to arrive after they've already been discharged!
Some hospitals do not allow flower deliveries, so you need to check the policies of the specific hospital before arranging delivery. Flower deliveries are generally not allowed in departments such as the intensive care unit or the emergency room. If the hospitals do not allow flower deliveries, you can arrange for the Infinity Roses to be delivered when the patient comes home or when they are transferred to a ward or hospital where flower deliveries are allowed.
Allergy-free
Even if the patient you are sending flowers to does not have a flower allergy, it is considerate to choose an allergy-free arrangement, as the flowers will be near hospital staff, visitors and other patients. A good allergy-free alternative is Infinity Roses. They are allergy-friendly and require no care or water.
Choose cheerful colors
If someone you love is undergoing treatment or a procedure, you may be wondering what colors are suitable for the flower arrangement. When choosing flowers, opt for bright colors to brighten up and cheer up the hospital room. Consider the personality and preferences of your loved one. Almost everyone will be happy to receive an Infinity Flowerbox in bright colors.
Pay attention to the size
Flowers can improve the patient's mood and brighten up their time in the hospital. Be aware that hospital rooms offer limited space. It can be tempting to buy so many Infinity Roses that they fill the entire hospital room. As beautiful as a large Infinity Flowerbox may be as a token of love, it may be better to use a small or medium-sized flowerbox and give them a larger box once the patient is back home.
Include a personal card and chocolate
Don't forget to include a card and chocolate with your Infinity Roses. Although the roses are the main event of your gift, including a card and something sweet is just as important. A nice message full of love and some chocolate can brighten someone's day. Knowing that there is someone who is thinking of you and wishing you all the best makes the hospital stay a lot more bearable. You can choose melt-in-your-mouth Lindt chocolate and 4 different card designs that we offer in our shop with our flowerboxes.
While there are many factors to consider and information to gather before sending flowers to a hospital, perhaps the most important piece of information is whether the patient wants them. Once you've figured that out, you can choose the perfect arrangement for them. Infinity Flowerboxes are a beautiful and long-lasting gift that your loved one or friend will enjoy.
