1.Soft Affection Mums & Alstroemeria Vase
KSh4,200.00
It arrives in its own vase, so it goes straight onto her desk without anyone hunting for a jug. Alstroemeria sheds very little pollen, which matters in a shared office, and the soft palette reads as friendly rather than personal.

Carnations and mums are the workhorses of the office, bright, full and never too much. Send it for a good week, a farewell, or the colleague who covered for you when it counted.

3.Bolci Floral Boutique Assorted Chocolate
KSh1,400.00
When the budget is small and the thanks are big, a box of good chocolate does the job. It travels to a desk easily and gets passed around the team, which she may like even more than the box itself.

How well do you know her
A coworker you eat lunch with can have something warm and bright. A boss or a senior colleague calls for something quieter and more polished. The closer you are, the more colour you can use.
Stay clear of red
Red roses and heart shaped arrangements read as romantic, and that is never the message you want at work. Yellow, white, pastel and mixed arrangements read as respect and thanks.
Think about the shared space
Vase ready arrangements, gentle scent and low pollen flowers suit an open plan office best. Send it to reception with her name, your company and the floor, and it reaches her desk without fuss.
Office Flowers, Answered
Is it appropriate to send flowers to a female boss?
Yes, when you pick the right register. Yellow, white, pastel and vase arrangements read as respect and appreciation. Skip red roses and heart shaped designs, and let a short card say what the flowers cannot.
What should I send a coworker for a promotion or a farewell?
For a promotion, a bright mixed bouquet or a vase arrangement marks the win. For a farewell, a hamper such as The Nairobi Morning Box gives her something to take home and keep.
Can you deliver to an office in Nairobi?
Yes. Order before 4PM and it reaches her office within 2 hours for a flat Ksh 350. Add her name, your company and the floor at checkout, and we send a WhatsApp photo once it has been received.
Can the team send one together?
Yes. Pool for one larger arrangement or hamper and add a single card that everyone signs. Message us on WhatsApp and we will sort the details, including regular office orders.
