Your Flower Hamper Arrival Checklist

Blooming Tea & Treats Hamper

When a flower hamper arrives, begin with the instructions supplied for that particular arrangement. Different presentation formats can need different handling. Identify what you have before adding water, removing packaging or changing the arrangement.

Identify the arrangement first

Look for any care card or product-specific information supplied with the gift. If you cannot tell how the flowers are arranged or how the container is intended to be used, ask Hampers & Blooms about the actual product. Do not assume a box should be filled with water or that every arrangement can be treated like loose stems in a vase.

Choose the placement using the supplied advice

Check the care instructions for placement guidance and choose somewhere the gift can sit securely. If you are unsure whether a particular spot is suitable, describe the arrangement and location when asking a care question. Care requirements depend on the actual arrangement; ask for guidance before applying a general watering or placement rule.

Follow the correct watering method

Use the method supplied for the actual arrangement. If the instructions are missing or unclear, ask before watering. Avoid pulling flowers apart to identify their support system, especially when you can obtain the correct guidance from the preparer.

Treat food instructions separately

Food included with a gift needs its own supplier storage and use instructions. Do not infer that a food item has the same storage needs as the flowers. Read the actual labels and ask for missing product information instead of assuming a common rule for the whole hamper.
