FAQs 

What is the significance of Christmas in South Africa?

Christmas in South Africa is a time to celebrate love, family, and togetherness - often under sunny skies and around a festive table. While our northern neighbours decorate snow-covered trees, South Africans celebrate with braais, beach days, and summer blooms. At Bloomable, we capture that local spirit with Christmas flowers, wreaths, and gift boxes designed to bring warmth, colour, and joy to every celebration.

Why are flowers and greenery part of Christmas celebrations?

Flowers and greenery have long symbolised renewal, life, and generosity - perfect for the spirit of Christmas. Whether it’s a lush protea arrangement, classic red-and-white bouquet, or a festive wreath, Bloomable’s handcrafted designs let you express love and gratitude beautifully during the holidays.

What are the most popular flowers for Christmas in South Africa?

South Africans love proteas, red roses, lilies, chrysanthemums, and eucalyptus during Christmas. These blooms reflect our summer season and bring festive colour into homes. Bloomable works with local florists nationwide to create fresh, seasonal arrangements that celebrate South Africa’s natural beauty - from classic elegance to modern fynbos flair.

Can I send Christmas flowers and gifts to friends and family across South Africa?

Absolutely! Bloomable makes it easy to send Christmas flowers, wreaths, and gift boxes anywhere in South Africa. With same-day delivery before 1 PM, your festive gifts arrive fresh and on time - whether you’re sending love to Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban, or anywhere in between.

What are the best Christmas gifts for hosts and loved ones?

If you’re heading to a festive lunch or braai, flowers and gift boxes make the perfect host gift. Our festive protea arrangements, artisan snack hampers, and personalised keepsakes show gratitude in a beautiful, thoughtful way. Bloomable offers gifts to suit every personality - from elegant florals to indulgent foodie treats.

What makes Bloomable’s Christmas collection different?

Every gift at Bloomable is handcrafted by local South African florists and makers - not mass-produced. Our Christmas collection celebrates real craftsmanship and community, offering locally inspired designs, personal touches, and same-day delivery across the country. When you shop with Bloomable, you’re giving twice: once to someone you love, and again by supporting local talent.

Can I add personal touches to my Christmas order?

Yes, Bloomable makes it easy to personalise your gift. You can add a handwritten message, include extras like chocolates, candles, non-alcoholic bubbly, or choose a personalised gift box to make your present truly one-of-a-kind.

How do I decorate my home with Christmas flowers and wreaths?

Use a protea and pinecone centrepiece for your festive table, hang a fynbos wreath on your front door, or place small bud vases filled with red and white blooms throughout your home. Bloomable’s florists design pieces that not only look beautiful but also last through the festive season in warm South African weather.

When should I order Christmas flowers or gifts for delivery?

If you are the 'plan in advance' type, you are welcome to place your orders as soon as possible (keeping in mind that some of our gift boxes or personalised products take a bit longer to create and ship). We recommend ordering a few days before Christmas to secure your preferred designs, but if you’re a last-minute shopper Bloomable’s same-day delivery (before 2 PM) has you covered. We even deliver on select public holidays, so your gift arrives fresh and festive when it matters the most.

Can I send Christmas gifts to clients, staff, or corporate partners?

Yes, of course. Bloomable’s Christmas collection includes elegant corporate hampers and floral arrangements perfect for client appreciation, office gifting, or staff celebrations. You can even request custom branding or bulk orders to make your business gifting effortless and on-brand.

How can I make Christmas gifting more meaningful this year?

Choose gifts that tell a story. A handcrafted wreath, locally made gift box, or bespoke bouquet from Bloomable supports artisans and celebrates the heart of South African giving. It’s not about the size of the gift - it’s about the thought, beauty, and connection behind it.
