They say that on the first day of kindergarten, the kids are crying – and on the first day of college, the parents are crying. Truth is, sending a student off to college for the first time can be a tough transition for all involved, but the experts at Blossom Flower Shops have a few ideas for gifts that may help. Over the years we have helped many of our Yonkers and White Plains friends and family make life’s events a little easier, with plants, flowers, and gifts that express your love. 
The Perfect Dorm Gift? We love the idea of plants for college dorms, for so many reasons. They add a little life and beauty to any space, and are a staple of decor no matter what type of residence. But in addition to infusing a bit of style into the room, plants also help to purify and detoxify the air. This interesting capability results in a healthier atmosphere, which in turn helps to improve focus, concentration and productivity.

This unique arrangement of a peace lily plant and a betta fish is sure to be a hit in a dorm room. Peace and serenity exude from this lovely gift, with cool blues and greens. Would you like more ideas? Low maintenance succulents and cacti are excellent ways to decorate college dorm rooms.

Don’t Forget! Every student needs snacks to get through late nigh study sessions – make their day by sending a gift basket of fruit, chocolates, junk food, or even fresh-baked cookies! They’ll be the hit of the dorm, and you can be assured that your student will know that although they have left your home, they are still very much on your mind. Blossom Flower Shops is in the business of reminding people just how special they are, and we are happy to help you to send the perfect gift to your college student.
