With so many florists in Singapore, you might be wondering why you need to know about another one? Well, I believe there’s always room in our lives for better businesses, and A Better Florist is a flower shop that everyone should try out.

Here are a couple of reasons why?

#1 They have some of the most beautiful flower arrangements in Singapore. They focus on delivering quality, and not just quantity, which is reflected through their curated collection of floral bouquets on their website. This online florist offers diversity by having pre-designed bouquets of all kinds, that are suitable for multitude occasions. They, of course, personalize custom bouquets, but their collections are made to make your life easier, as you can always get something beautifully put together on-the-go.

#2 They also have a hamper collection, in addition to their fruit basket collection, making them a flower shop and a gift delivery flower services. And you practically "hit two birds with one stone" when you order from your computer or your smartphone. When it comes to both flowers and gifts, they create everything you can possibly imagine. If you need funeral flowers, they have them. If you are a business and you need grand opening flowers, they have them. If you need a baby hamper, they have those too. Everything, including their get well soon hamper, fruit baskets and floral arrangements can be tailored to suit you and the occasion you need them for.

#3 Another reason why you might want to look up A Better Florist is that people love them. A lot of flower delivery review sites will give them excellent reviews, and their customers give them great reviews.

On top of all this, they have an incredible same day flower delivery, and an express flower delivery, giving you the chance to get your order on the same day and as quickly as possible.

This Singaporean florist has recently expanded, so they now have a KL flower delivery as well as HK florist that is equally famous for their incredible HK flowers and delivery. The fact is, this is a florist that seems to be doing an incredible job and their customers are happy, so I honestly believe they are worth your time and money.

Top 3 Things You Can Do For Your Co-Teachers on Teacher's Day

top

Sebrinah Yeo August 01, 2018 7

Do you know that co-teachers are equally as important as teachers on any other days? Am sure many of you may not be aware but there are also things that colleagues do contribute to your life in the campus that no student could replace. Doing something for your co-teachers mean that you are treating them as special persons in your life.

How to Show Affection to Co-Teachers during Teacher Day Event?

On a teacher’s day celebration, it is not always that only students should be the ones giving gifts
to teachers. Yes, they are expected to do such thing as part of the school’s activity, but you can
also show affection to your co-teachers during this special event.

So here are the Top 3 ways you can make your co-teachers feel special during teacher’s day.

1. Cook for your Co-Teachers
Gifting them some foods like cookies, jams, salads and more can fill the air in the faculty room
with happy emotions. This is another wonderful moment to celebrate with them and with your
food contribution to your party, perhaps, you will be able to thank them for all the support they
did for you. Afterall, they are the ones behind the scenes prepping things for you that no student can do and even as a teacher, you may not even have time to do so. So their hardwork should be appreciated and celebrated as well as yours on the same day.

2. Give Your Co-Teachers some Flowers
Flowers are tokens of love and friendship. In most cases, your work mates become your new
siblings and even friend; And as you celebrate your day as mentors, it is just right that you make them feel important. A hand bouquet for your co-teachers is ideal or even floral baskets with a wonderful flower arrangement for your other colleagues will do the charm too. For male teachers who are also close to you, giving them some beaded lanyard with flowers is also great.

In getting your flowers, you can visit a flower shop in Singapore or you can just order online.
Create that element of surprise in the faculty room with your requested express flower delivery and for sure, your co-teachers will be touched by your initiative and appreciate the thought behind the gift.

3. Host an Exclusive Teacher Party in Your Place
You don't have to be the headmistress/headmaster to host a party, all it takes is initiative by anyone, even you. Hosting a party at your place with all your co-teachers invited can develop a strong relationship between all of you. You can also ask the best florist in Singapore to help you decorate your place with flowers so that it will look welcoming and accommodating to all invited guests.

By doing all these things, you are actually doing yourself a favor in the long run. There is no need to expect for a payback for this effort because the happiness you gain by making other people happy will be delivered directly to your heart a hundred folds, making you feel happier and proud about
yourself.

What is Personal Branding?

Do you even know what does it mean?

You see, Branding has been in existence since the early ages where artifacts, relics are used to differentiate different cultures and eras. Take Malaysia & Singapore for example; Malaysia is under the Commonwealth organizations which was back then and still is under Britain (used to be known as the "Great Britain"). Or even Communism vs Capitalism; These are all a form of Branding.

Today, we are in the Information Age where companies and brands are branding themselves as the preferred Employer and Employee Engagement. That being said, the last phase of Branding is the individuals! Because you and me, we're unique; Everyone is unique! We have our own personal values that makes us who we are today. That is why Personal Branding is important because with all these in place, we can actually make a difference and possessed great values in making the world a better place! But these individuals have not been given the recognition they deserved.

4 Tips On Choosing A Flower Arrangement

tips

Sebrinah Yeo July 03, 2018 0

I was never really a fan of flowers because I used to mix with boys alot. And their feedback was girls love flowers but it never last! Since then, I never fancied it. But today, it's not about what he or she says. It's really what comes behind the meaning of the flowers by itself. You see, flowers are a symbol of love, friendship, celebration, respect and beauty. It can become an ideal gift for that someone special to match any occasions, even if there are no occasions and you just feel like getting that someone special a flower gift, just do it! You may actually brighten up their day even with that small gesture of expression.

I remember when I received flowers for my birthday from my amazing friends from near and afar! It definitely made my day happier and just delighted. It's also memorable too! I never received flowers from anyone before, so receiving a flower gift arranged neatly with some decoration or snacks definitely makes things different and unique!

Nowadays, you can easily order birthday flowers, fruit basket, or even chocolates and stuff toys from a flower shop. You can customize it yourself or you can choose for a ready made flower arrangement that your recipient will definitely appreciate receiving it from you!

There are many florists all around the world. So if you happen to have a special someone or if you're in Singapore and you would want to get acquire the best bouquet of flowers with a unique arrangement, rest assured, you can look for the best florist in Singapore.

When choosing the right flower arrangements, one has to be sure to check with the right florist because it adds up to the beauty of the flowers.

Here are 4 tips to note when choosing a flower arrangement for that special someone :

1. Colors : The very first thing is the color of your flowers, different color resembles different meanings (like in the example below)

2. Consult a florists for the best advise, as they can suggest to you the right flowers and arrangement styles to suit your event.

3. Apart from how the flowers are being arranged, the size plays a big factor too. Especially where will it be placed? On the table display, on the counter, on the dining table, or at the entrance or at the foyer. All these different setup spot will play a part to further beautify and create a lasting memory for others viewing your flower arrangement gift when chosen correctly.

4. Sometimes going over the phone or consulting in person may cloud your vision or imagination of how the flower arrangement may look like at the end result. So it's a better idea to check online on the examples for a better visualization of how your flower arrangement will look like. Plus, you can save more by comparing pricing online across different channels too, so you get your money's worth.

All in all, a flower arrangement can make you or break you! Even the notes/wishes on the gift card plays an important role as well. Choosing the best flower arrangement plays an important role to make your event successful. Flowers with beautiful unique arrangements, can create a much livelier and beautiful space. If costings is of an issue, then you can source for a more affordable florist who can provide you with quality services.

My advise is, go for a florist that has been offering their services for years. This guarantees that they may have the possibility to offer you a much better satisfaction.

A Better Florist Who Truly Cares For Their Customers

UAE

Sebrinah Yeo April 29, 2018 0

Do you know that everywhere you go in Malaysia. You can easily find a flower shop hiding in one of those shoplots along the streets? However, do you know there's an even better florist out there that isn’t like the other flower shops or florist online?!

You see, flowers may seem fragile and simple; However, it must be handle with proper care and even the customers who makes purchases from them should be taken care of properly. In my experience, A Better Florist, really cares about their customers and knows what they require. They even provide flower delivery in Malaysia that you can place your orders from.

In fact, they actually have everything you will need for just about any occasion. From birthday flowers to appropriate funeral flowers, to gorgeous flower and fruit baskets. They also have a hamper collection, that is an ideal gift, with flowers or without the flowers, for your loved ones! What's even better is you can now start planning your gift for Nurse's Day 12th May, Mother's Day 13th May or Teacher's Day 16th May 2018! Which is what I am currently doing lolx!

Oh! They even have a cute range of baby hampers, and a get well soon hamper range, but there’s so much more to choose from. You can even order a fruit basket from the website. After chatting with them, I realize that every floral design that they have can be customised so that you receive what you need and want.

What A Better Florist specialize in?
They specialize in being able to offer flowers that you can order and grab on the go, when you’re busy and don’t have the time to drive through the streets looking for a florist shop somewhere out there. They are known as the best florist in Kuala Lumpur, incase you were wondering.

It's quite easy to place your orders with them. All you got to do is pick your bouquet, tell them when & where and enjoy those moments when your loved one or a good friend or colleague has received the gift from you.

I like that they have fresh flowers on hand where they can easily create and deliver to you on the same day! Isn't that cool! I feel this makes them the best florist in Malaysia! Because most florist online needs 1 to 2 days or atleast a certain min of hours (like half a day) for them to create the floral decoration and deliver.

And YES! Their same day best flower delivery is another reason why I like their service, because it’s completely FREE, and they keep their promise of delivering on the same day. Also, I found out that if the delivery is to other states (eg. JB, Penang, Ipoh, etc), you can actually request for their express delivery. This means, when you click that order button, their delivery will arrive to any destination in just 90 minutes.

In fact, why I am writing about this because it's not just catered for Malaysia. If you want to gift to a loved one overseas, you can easily browse online, via mobile or your computer, and order from its own designated website; For example, if you need the best Singapore flower delivery, a Hong Kong flower delivery or an UAE flower delivery, you can go to the corresponding website and get access to A Better Florist’s gorgeous flowers delivery.

I never knew this before but if you were to check or Google about "A Better Florist" online, you’ll see that their flower delivery in KL is actually gaining popularity, and they are the best HK florist & flower delivery, the best flower delivery in UAE, and more specifically they are the best florist in Dubai. Awesome!

If you don't believe me, it's okay.

You go Google them up and just see how many reviews and rankings they rake up to! It's amazing!
You can also feel free to visit their website and see what they have to offer. It’s more than words can describe.
