Which colours to choose

  • Pink: appreciation and gratitude.
  • Peach and soft orange: thanks with warmth.
  • Blue and purple: respect and admiration.

When not to give it

  • Red roses for colleagues, clients or mentors, which can seem too personal.
  • Heavily scented lilies for an office desk.

Gifting tips

  • Say what they did: "Thank you for staying late to help me finish" beats "Thanks for everything".
  • Don't wait too long. Thanks lands best within a day or two.
  • For a group (a team, a hospital ward), send one bouquet addressed to everyone.
