Tips For Choosing A Fresh Christmas Wreath
Not sure which fresh Christmas wreath to choose? Our buying guide covers size, foliage, decoration style & budget to help you find the perfect wreath
A thoughtful, seasonal gift for family, friends, clients and staff
A fresh Christmas wreath is one of the most genuinely thoughtful gifts you can send. It is seasonal, sensory, and entirely different from the usual gifting options of chocolates, wine, or flowers that wilt within the week. Sent to a front door, it announces Christmas the moment it arrives, and stays there for weeks rather than minutes.
This guide covers everything you need to know about sending a fresh wreath as a gift, from choosing the right style to what to expect from delivery, and includes guidance for both personal gifting and sending wreaths on behalf of a business.
Most Christmas gifts are consumed, worn, or used up within days. A fresh wreath is different. Hung on the front door, it becomes a visible, fragrant centrepiece of someone’s home for the entire run-up to Christmas. It is noticed by the recipient every single day, and by everyone who visits them.
It also carries a sense of occasion that few gifts manage. Sending a wreath says that thought went into the choice, not just the purchase. For people who already have everything they need, a fresh wreath offers something genuinely different: an experience and a sensory moment rather than another object.
The premium range is the natural choice for gifting. Every premium wreath is delivered in an attractive gift box, finished with quality ribbons and richer foliage, and designed to feel like a considered gift rather than a standard purchase. See the full premium range for styles ranging from elegant and understated to bold and richly decorated.
If you are unsure which style to choose, a few guiding questions help narrow it down quickly.
For an elegant, refined recipient, styles like Christmas Rose or White Floral tend to suit best. For a more traditional household, Red Floral or Mixed Ivy Foliage carry classic festive character. For something distinctive and memorable, Citrus Straw Bow or Blue Floral stand out as genuinely different gifts that most recipients will not have seen before.
If you know the colour of the recipient’s front door, you can choose a wreath that will look striking against it. Dark doors suit almost any style; pale doors benefit from a wreath with strong colour or texture so it does not get lost. If you are unsure, a naturalistic style such as Mixed Ivy Foliage works well against most door colours.
The premium range covers a wide span, from simpler undecorated luxury foliage through to fully decorated statement styles. There is a thoughtful gift available at most budgets, and every wreath in the range carries the same gift box presentation regardless of price point.

Sending a wreath as a gift works in the same way as ordering for yourself, with a few details worth knowing in advance.

A fresh wreath also works well as a corporate gift, whether for clients, key contacts, or staff. It stands apart from the usual hampers and branded merchandise that arrive at this time of year, and the seasonal, sensory nature of the gift tends to be genuinely remembered rather than filed away with everything else received in December.
For businesses sending multiple wreaths, whether to a handful of key clients or a wider staff gifting list, volume orders and consistent quality across every wreath are important considerations. Every Lower Hope Festive wreath is hand-crafted to the same standard, so a batch sent to twenty clients will carry the same quality as one sent to a single recipient.

Yes. A personalised gift message can be added at checkout and will be included with the delivery. See our delivery guide for full ordering details.
You choose the delivery date when you place the order, so you can plan exactly when the wreath should arrive. We recommend choosing a date a few days before any planned visit or gathering so the recipient has time to enjoy it before Christmas Day.
If in doubt, choose a naturalistic style such as Mixed Ivy Foliage or a classic style such as Red Floral. Both work well against most door colours and suit a wide range of home styles.
Gift box presentation is included as standard with every premium wreath. Standard range wreaths are not gift-boxed by default, so for gifting purposes we recommend choosing from the premium range.
