The Perfect Gifts to Show Your Appreciation this Admin Professionals Day

Every year, companies take the time to celebrate Administrative Professionals Day. This occasion falls on Wednesday during the last week of April, and it’s a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the hard work, dedication, and contributions of administrative professionals.

You have different ways to acknowledge a secretary or a receptionist and show your appreciation for all that they do, such as treating them to their favorite lunch or giving them a small token, like a gift card or a personalized coffee mug. It’s also customary to give a floral arrangement for the occasion, as flowers are symbolic of gratitude and appreciation.

Moreover, flowers are perfect because they decorate your administrative professional’s workspace so beautifully! They can brighten up a desk or a cubicle instantly, and they’re sure to bring an immediate smile to your recipient’s face. Given that the workday can often be overwhelming, a floral surprise is one of the most thoughtful presents you can give. Here are some suggestions.

Orchids

The orchid is a classic and downright classy option if you’d like to surprise your employee with something elegant and timeless. They’re available in an assortment of colors and styles, from vibrant yellow that’s perfect for infusing their day with an instant dose of sunshine to crisp white for a sophisticated look. There are even subversive styles, like the eye-catching Fantasy Cymbidium Orchids, and earthy styles, like this Yellow Oncidium Orchid arrangement. There’s an upscale quality about any orchid arrangement, making it a fitting choice.

Sunflowers

Few flowers are as expressive and uplifting as sunflowers. Symbolic of joy, happiness, and positivity, this flower brims with good energy — and it’s a great addition to any office, especially if your administrative professional’s workspace could use a little boost. Sunflowers are also distinctive in their appearance, so they will leave a lasting impression. Because it’s a flower of optimism, the sunflower is one of the most appropriate to give for this occasion. The Sag Harbor + Sydney Hale Candle duo makes a lovely gift idea, as it includes a candle that your employee is sure to love.

Succulents

A succulent is a fantastic choice if you’d prefer to give something in lieu of a flower arrangement. This might be the case if your employee is allergic to flowers or you know they have a particular appreciation for the wonders of Mother Nature. Succulents are low-maintenance plants that require barely any attention yet still manage to look beautiful for lengthy periods. Among the most stylish is the Sharona Succulent Garden, packed with an array of lovely succulents nestled in a chic and modern planter.

Peonies

The peony is a gorgeous flower that’s a springtime favorite, making it a seasonally appropriate selection for the holiday. It’s available in an assortment of colors, so you can easily find one that your recipient is sure to love. You might opt for a solo peony bouquet, like the striking Coral Peony Bouquet, or look for a mixed arrangement that features peonies alongside other flowers, from garden roses to chrysanthemums.
