Christmas Small Mug Floral Arrangement
A fun Christmas gift idea is to put a small fresh flower arrangement together in a holiday mug. Use wet floral foam as the base of the design. First cover the foam with leather leaf, none of the floral foam should be showing. Put a few taller pieces towards the back of the mug. Then fill in moving towards the front with smaller pieces of leather, creating a sort of fan shape. The arrangement can either be all the way around or one sided. If it is one sided, you still need to cover the floral foam in the back with the leather leaf.
When no floral foam is showing, begin adding the flowers. Start with three white carnations, all cut at different heights. then add a three white carnations. Use two stems of red pixie carnations. Cut each individual blossom from the stem and insert these in the floral foam around the design. Then add some baby's breath. Again, cut each sprig off the main stem so you have more to work with. Last add some red hypericum berries. You could also add some cedar or other evergreen to the design. Watch this step by step video for complete instructions. This small design is charming and will delight the receiver of such a gift.
Christmas Candle Ring
A candle ring is a very popular floral design piece for the Christmas holidays. A candle ring can be made of several types of greens. Traditionally evergreen, such as pine, is used. But, using a green such as boxwood can be very beautiful. It can be filled out with berries and holly and accented with pine cones. Traditionally a round candle is placed in the center around the ring of evergreen. The candle can either stand alone or be covered with a hurricane glass vase. Of course you can either purchase an artificial candle ring, or purchase a fresh one online, if you do not have time to make one yourself.

Flowers are a unique and special gift to give for Christmas. There are a variety of floral arrangements available to purchase online, or you can make one yourself.

You could create an arrangement for any size vase, the larger the vase, the more flowers and greens to use. For Christmas time, use red, white and maybe even green flowers (like green button mums).

Christmas Gift Basket with Fresh Flowers
Looking for the perfect Christmas present to give this year? A gift basket is fun and easy to put together. All you need to do is find a basket or a Christmas container and put a few things in it. Make it extra special and beautiful by adding a fresh flower. Some things that you could put in the gift basket in addition to a bud vase with a single flower, (such as a red Gerber daisy, rose, or lily), include: a Christmas movie, a Christmas book, Christmas tree ornaments, holiday cookie cutters, and/or treats. You could also do different themed gift baskets. For different themes you could use include: snowmen, gingerbread men/women, Santa Clause, the Nativity, Christmas trees, or Reindeer.
For a snowman themed basket, include a storybook about a snowman, snowman cookie cutters, and snowman shaped cookies and treats. Decorate the basket with blue and white tissue paper. Include a bud vase with a white flower accented with cedar or pine. Maybe also include snowman ornaments, candles, and/or figurines. A snowglobe would be perfect. Be creative! If you are having trouble filling up your gift basket, just go to a store that sells holiday decorations. The items are usually sorted by theme, so all you have to do is put the items you see in your basket.
To assemble the gift basket, first attach the bud vase in the container with floral clay. Then, if you use a wicker basket, use some festive Christmas tissue paper or other pretty paper to line it. Also, there are lots of square and rectangle wicker baskets available at craft and hobby stores that are lined with holiday cloth. Last arrange the gift items in the basket so it looks pretty and appealing. This would make a great gift for a coworker, teacher, sibling, or that person who just seems to have everything.

Christmas Flower Arrangement in a Crystal Vase
Make a small fresh flower arrangement in a holiday crystal container. Use roses and chrysanthemums, or other red and white flowers. A small arrangement like this will be ideal for a centerpiece for a small table or just as home holiday decor.
There are a few ways to assemble such an arrangement. One way is to create a dutch spiral hand bouquet, and then cut the stems very short so the rest just above the rim of the container. Another way to assemble the arrangement is, after cutting the stems short, to place the flowers in the container, in a criss-cross fashion to hold them in place. Don't forget to clean the stems from thorns and leaves. Any leaves in the water will rot.
