As adults, we spend nearly one third of our waking hours in the workplace. As such, the atmosphere created by our boss can go a long way to either contributing to our overall happiness, or taking away from it. A great boss has the ability to foster a work ambiance that is productive, positive, and enriching, and it is that person that we celebrate on October 16.

If you feel that you work for the best boss, let them know that you appreciate them with a gift from Curran’s Flowers. 

Did You Know? Boss’s Day was established in 1962. The original concept was imagined by Patricia Bays Haroski , an employee at State Farm Insurance in Chicago. She was inspired by her boss, who also happened to be her father.

Green plants are an excellent corporate gift. They provide lush green color, and help to clean the air. Not only that, but green plants fit easily into virtually any office decor. The Contemporary Green Plant Planter (shown above) is one of our favorite selections from the greenhouse.

Another popular choice for Boss’s Day is our Rio Orchid Garden. A beautiful phalaenopsis orchid and tropical bromeliad combine for this striking design that is both elegant and an affordable gift. 

For a truly unique gift, check out or cactus and succulent collection, such as the Birdsnest Cactus, below.  These distinctive gifts are hardy and easy to care for, but also add a creative flair to any desk or office space.

Great bosses work every day to encourage, teach, support and guide their employees. On October 16, send a gift from Curran’s Flowers to thank them for all they do.
