With the holiday season in full swing, you are likely looking for just the right thing for someone special, but did you know our pieces can be gifted all year long? Element Design Co is here to inspire you! We love creating pieces that become sentimental heirloom gifts that are cherished by those who receive them. 

Find the perfect thing for the newly married couple, the mom who loves florals, or the friends who want something sweet and unique for their homes. While our custom preservation process takes some time, we offer plenty of options for the gifting season, such as our ready to ship items and gift cards. And don’t forget our sister brand, Silk + Stone, offering gorgeous faux florals and curated arrangements in timeless vessels. Here, we’ll dive into the giftable offerings available from Element Preservation and Silk + Stone. 

Know someone tying the knot in the new year? While they may not have considered getting their bouquet pressed and turning into a lasting art piece, you can be the one to help make it happen for them! We offer physical gift cards, as well as an option for a digital gift card. If you are looking for something with a “Wow!” factor, have the gift card delivered to them in a stunning package, featuring floral details, with our Floral Keepsake Gift Kit, which can be purchased separately. Gift cards are great for those who are new to the idea of preservation, as well as the bride-to-be who has been hoping to find a way to make it happen. Be a part of someone’s forever by helping them hold on to their most special florals for years to come. 

Our line of Birth Flower Frames remains one of our post popular ready to ship offerings. With all 12 months represented, it is easy to find something to represent someone special. These gifts are great for moms, grandma’s, and sisters. The black wood frames containing the flowers for each month are available in both 10x10 and 6x6 sizes. While these are billed as birth flower frames, you can also choose florals that are beloved by the recipient. With 12 gorgeous flower options, elegantly arranged within the sturdy frames, you can be sure to find something for every flower lover on your list. 

Know someone getting married in the festive season and feel a gift card just isn't quite personal enough? You can still choose to give them the promise of a custom preservation piece by placing an order with us on their behalf! Let them know on a special day and let them get excited over the course of the turnaround time (6-12 months from when the flowers arrive to our studio). You can also choose to give them the unique gift of a digital preservation piece, which takes far less time due to the fact that we do not need any fresh florals to create these pieces. You can read more about Digital Preservation here, on our Field Notes Blog post. 

Perhaps you are a bride who would like to celebrate those who stood with you on your special day by sharing part of your own preserved bouquet. Among our smaller offerings, we suggest adding ala carte items such as coasters, ornaments, or a locket to the order you are placing. Coasters come in sets of four, which you can disperse to your mom, new mother in law, or bridesmaids to be used as jewelry or trinket dishes. Each one will be uniquely designed, and you can choose which will represent your loved one. 

Ornaments are, of course, perfect for the holidays and beyond. You can include an ornament stand, which will allow whoever is lucky enough to receive such a beautiful reminder of a special day to keep it up all throughout the year. Ornaments come in all the shape options that our coasters and ring dishes do, and the stands are available in gold or black and are quite sturdy and made from wrought iron. 

Lockets are our newest offering, and contain petal confetti pieces and space for a photo, coming in either gold or silver. We think this is an excellent gift for a mom, as you can choose a photo from your childhood to include, or a brand new shot of you with her on your wedding day, keeping that moment alive and close to her heart for years to come. 

Our sister brand, Silk + Stone, features lovely faux florals and vessels. These flowers look incredibly realistic, and most can even fool you with their real-feel texture. You can choose to create your own arrangement by purchasing stems of various florals separately and placing them into a vase of your own, or you could opt to have a completely unique and beautifully designed bouquet created for you. Also on offer are stunning stoneware vessels, each one unique. The stone vessels are the perfect place to place these forever florals into, as them will stay upright and have a natural, elegant appearance that will match all kinds of decor styles. For someone who loves to decorate with the seasons, evergreen style wreaths are also available. Anything from Silk + Stone will make a lovely gift, especially for those who love to do a little decorating. In the midst of the winter, having alive-looking flowers and greens on the mantle or at the table brightens up a home. You can give that joy to the special people in your life. If you believe someone would like to choose their own arrangement, Silk + Stone offers gift cards as well.

We hope you find something just right for all the folks on your list this holiday season and beyond into the many gifting occasions throughout the year.. With both ready to receive gifts and options to begin preserving fresh flowers, Element Preservation (and Silk + Stone!) is here for you through the holiday season and beyond! While we focussed on the end-of-year gift giving season, save this article for the rest of the year to inspire you for birthdays, anniversaries, and “just because” moments.
