Choosing the right Christmas gift can feel tricky, but understanding someone’s love language makes it surprisingly easy.
The idea is simple: everyone has a way they naturally show and feel loved. For some, it’s thoughtful gestures that make life easier. For others, it’s heartfelt words, meaningful gifts, cosy time spent together, or warm, comforting moments.
So this year, instead of guessing, we’ve matched five of our favourite Christmas designs to the five love languages, helping you choose a gift that feels personal, thoughtful and very them.
Here’s your guide to gifting thoughtfully this Christmas, all crafted by our talented Flower Lounge florists in Didsbury.
Love Language: Acts of Service
If their love language is all about thoughtful gestures, the “I’ll do that for you” types, the hosts-with-the-most, the ones who quietly make Christmas run smoothly, then our Warm Latte Table Centre is a match made in festive heaven.
In soft coffee tones and natural winter greenery, this beautiful arrangement does the hard work for them, creating a tablescape that’s instantly warm, stylish and effortlessly considered.
With quicksand roses, peach hypericum, eucalyptus berries, snowy pine cones and those gorgeous twisted latte candles, it’s the kind of gift that says: “Sit down, relax — I’ve taken care of this bit.”
Love Language: Gifts
Some people just love a big, beautiful gift. The kind that knocks their cosy socks off. For them, it has to be the Luxe Red Christmas Showstopper.
This isn’t just a bouquet. It’s drama. It’s glamour. It’s Christmas turned up to eleven.
With ruby roses, merlot hydrangea, pink protea, lush winter foliage and shimmering rose-gold accents, it’s a jaw-dropping moment in bouquet form. Whether they display it proudly on the dining table or revel in its beauty in the living room, this is the gift that says: “You deserve something extraordinary.”
Love Language: Quality Time
If their idea of the perfect gift is unrushed time - slow mornings, cups of tea, gentle rituals and moments of calm - think less thing, more experience.
A flower press makes a beautifully thoughtful gift for someone who loves to switch off and potter. Pressing flowers is a mindful, soothing activity, one that invites quiet focus and creativity, with something lovely to show for it at the end.
Add a Flower Lounge gift voucher and you’re gifting more than flowers: you’re giving them the pleasure of browsing a beautiful flower shop, choosing blooms they love, and taking time to enjoy them properly at home. Unhurried, thoughtful and right up their street.
Love Language: Words of Affirmation
For the ones who treasure heartfelt words, the card-keepers, the note-treasurers, the “I saved this because it meant something” souls, gifting is all about saying how you feel.
Our Merry Berry Gift Set paired with an Oh Squirrel Christmas Card is the perfect way to wrap your words in something beautiful.
The Merry Berry bouquet is rich, joyful and festive: ruby roses, red spray roses, ilex berries and deep Bordeaux limonium nestled into evergreen foliage. And with the luxury additions, a Love Cocoa chocolate bar and a beautifully scented Naked Candle, it becomes a moment of indulgence.
Add your message in the Oh Squirrel card and suddenly it’s not just a gift…it’s a little keepsake.
Love Language: Physical Touch
For the person whose love language is closeness, the hand-holders, the arm-linkers, the ones who hug and don’t let go, the perfect gift brings comfort, warmth and softness.
The Copper Kiss Vase Design does all that and more.
With Quicksand roses, white alstroemeria, peach hypericum and warm copper ruscus and teasels, it’s full of texture, softness and gentle festive glow. It’s a bouquet that feels like a warm embrace; elegant, romantic and brimming with tactile details.
For the person who loves to feel the moment, this is Christmas in a vase.
