The third Wednesday of July is the Mexican date
The day of the month changes each year. Argentina’s observance is on 4 September; use the July rule to congratulate someone who works in Mexico.
An employer’s celebration may fall on another day. If you will give the gift there, follow that announcement’s date and reception arrangements. For a personal gathering, bring it when you meet.
Choosing the flowers and the size of the gift
Lisianthus has satin-like petals. Compare carnations for their ruffled petals or gerberas if you prefer an open flower with a distinct centre. Choose the appearance and colours with that person in mind.
For a gift they will take home, ask for a narrow bouquet and assess its dimensions with the wrapping. If you add a vase, include the space the container will occupy.
An order for a greeting between friends
You could order: “I would like a small lisianthus bouquet for Elena. I will give it to her after our photography class. I am looking for a format she can hold in one hand and a card separate from the wrapping so she can keep it.”
The note could say: “Elena, happy Secretaries’ Day. I’m looking forward to celebrating with you after class. Clara.” Change the name and plan to suit your own meeting.
When thanking someone for help at a federal agency
In federal public administration, gifts connected to the post must be rejected. To thank someone for their assistance or handling of a matter in that setting, choose a message through the agency’s institutional channel.
Which flowers to choose
Compare flowers to choose the format, colours and care that suit the occasion.

Lisianthus
Main flower in our selectionWe suggest lisianthus for its satin-like petals. A small bouquet can centre on a colour they enjoy.

Carnation
Carnations offer another texture with their ruffled petals. Compare them if you want that detail to stand out in the gift.

Gerbera
Gerberas offer an open flower shape with a distinct centre. They are another option for highlighting a favourite colour.
Frequently asked questions
What date should I put on the order if we are meeting another day?

How can I congratulate the whole secretarial team?
You could prepare a card addressed to the team and add a line for each person.
