New Year compositions in Bangkok: fir for clients, hosts and the table
New Year compositions in Bangkok go to offices as well as homes: Thai companies send presents to clients at this time of year, and business partners exchange gifts with each other. That is why the range keeps a separate corporate section apart from the rest. Work out first who the fir is for: a client in an office, hosts you are visiting, or your own table, since that choice decides the format. The new year here falls in January, with 31 December and 1 January both public holidays, as Bangkok's calendar and seasons sets out.
From the company to the client: New Year corporate gifts in Bangkok
The New Year corporate gifts subsection is built for that exchange, so a sender working through it is not shopping among pieces meant for a home.
Bangkok has no single business centre; its office towers spread across Silom and Sathon, both inside the Bang Rak and Sathon districts. To deliver into one of them, the courier first needs the company's name and the floor. Buildings with a pass system route the delivery through reception, and the sender later learns exactly who signed for it.
A single order can carry several arrangements bound for different desks at once, and each address is delivered and charged on its own. A company sending to a whole client list can ask the manager for an invoice made out to the business, with the paperwork to go with it.
Fir carried to a host's home travels in the hand rather than left on a desk: a New Year bouquet, a paper floral bag, or a basket with a handle.
Thai custom calls for passing and receiving a gift with the right hand. The person receiving it usually sets it aside to open later, since tearing the wrapping open in front of the giver is considered rude.
Noble fir keeps its needles longer than most Christmas tree species, and its stiff branches are what let it hold these shapes.
Set down and kept: tabletop fir for the January days off
A tabletop arrangement, a small tree built from fir branches, or a wreath is meant to be put down once, on a table or a door, and left there through the days off around 31 December and 1 January. None of the three needs a vase.
Each one sits in soaked floral foam, so the care is straightforward: water the exposed surface daily with a thin stream, and never tilt it. Keep the arrangement away from direct sun.
Bangkok's heat and air conditioning both dry cut fir; see Bangkok's calendar and seasons before choosing a spot in the flat.
A cake that says Happy New Year, opened after the guest has gone
Inside New Year gifts, fir travels paired with a bento cake: sized to fit in one hand, boxed for carrying, with a short greeting piped across the top in cream.
Bento Cake "Happy New Year!" states the season outright, which matters here because the gift is usually opened once the giver has already left, rather than unwrapped on the doorstep.
That delay is also why the cake needs cool storage straight away. Above 32°C a cream-topped cake should not sit out for more than an hour, so it belongs in the fridge the moment someone carries it indoors.
Central Bangkok delivery carries no extra charge, and the florist takes a photo of the finished piece before it leaves the shop. The exact delivery window for each item shows on its own page; delivery in Bangkok has the rest.
