Silk Flowers and Her College Dorm Room - Small Reminders in a Big New World.
Make your new dorm room feel like home with beautiful silk flowers and plants.

You’ve given eighteen of your best years to your child. And now, everythin g you’ve instilled into her will be tested…at college. She’ll be stressed. She’ll suffer from homesickness. She’ll think of you when she sees…a leopard print rug an  d a hot-pink fringed lamp shade…or not.

Send a piece of home to college with your new independent student. When you gift her with realistic silk flowers, you give her to the opportunity to transport herself to a more tranquil place - amid exams, all-night study gatherings, and social pressures.

Those silk flowers will remind her of home, and make her dorm room seem less like a motel room, or a colorless block of cement and pressed board.


Silk Flowers are a Good Buy for Your Good-bye

Your daughter will no doubt experience at least a few symptoms of homesickness in her first few weeks, or months, at college. Too many reminders of home can extend the illness’ stay, but melding a homey concept with her own independent choices can empower her. Here’re a few ways that silk flowers can be incorporated into her new independent way of life:

• Throttle back on your own voluptuous bouquet of silk red roses by choosing silk flower buds for your budding young woman.

• Using your daughter’s favorite silk flower arrangement as a model, design another, smaller version - perfect for any cramped dorm room.

• Ask your daughter to gather information about her roommate (favorite color, favorite flowers), and design a silk flower bouquet that joins the girls’ tastes in a designer silk flower story. When their stay together is through, they can mix and match silk flower memorabilia from their year together.

• Allow your daughter to choose a few of her favorite silk flower stems from your home. Then with your daughter, buy more silk flower stems online and combine the old with the new.

• You’re not limited to vases when decorating a dorm room with silk flowers. Instead,

§ Use silk flower garlands as curtain tie-backs, valances over windows or doors, or as borders for wall hangings.

§ Don cinder block walls and plain-jane doors with pre-made or custom-made silk flower wreaths.

§ Float silk flowers in a bowl of water to keep her room humidified and beautified.


Save Your Daughter’s Time and Dimes

Your daughter’s life and schedule are about to change dramatically. She’ll have less time to attend to the mundane. Silk flowers and silk plants require no watering, pruning, or replacing. Plus…what college student has the money or desire to replace fresh flowers every week? Natural looking silk flowers will give her room beauty without the hassle.

If you have passed your love of silk flowers on to your daughter, then give her the gift of home. If she’s already in the throes of study, surprise her with a bunch of her favorite silk flowers. If you’re looking forward to her freshman year this fall, then plan on creating her little piece of home…in a place that can seem like a world away.
