Start giving with Givr

Today, we’re launching [Givr](https://www.flowersacross.com.au/givr/). A way to give something to someone who may not have otherwise received it. It’s totally free, it’s a lot of fun and it’s all about giving!

We’re in the business of giving – if it wasn’t for all the wonderful people out there who love sending gifts to their mums, aunts, boyfriends, co-workers etc. we’d be out of a job and the world would be a much sadder place – like youtube without cats. So in the spirit of all things [gifty and flowers](https://www.flowersacross.com.au/), we wanted to create something fun that reflects what we do and encourages the act of giving. This led us to came up with Givr.

### It works thusly

It’s pretty simple. All you need to do is go to the Givr website at [www.flowersacross.com.au/givr](https://www.flowersacross.com.au/givr) and nominate someone special by telling us about why you think they deserve to have a Givr surprise sent to them. Each week (on Tuesday), we’ll go through all the entries and pick one person with a great story to send a Givr to.

When you’re done, if you feel like spreading the word, tweet about it with hashtag #givrbunch, or find us on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/flowersacrossmelbourne) and share it amongst your friends so we can make Givrs out of everyone!

### Who to nominate?

Pretty much anyone! even yourself if you like. Really it’s about sending a great surprise, but here’s some suggestions to get you started:

- Someone that helped you get through a tough time

- Someone that’s going through a tough time

- Someone who’s always thinking of others without thought for themselves

- Your co-worker who helped change your tire – in the pouring rain

- The friend who fed your puppy while you were away

- Grandma – because she’s awesome

- Your childs teacher


You get the idea

### Building on great ideas

The idea was sparked following a successful Lonely Poinsettia Day campaign where we left random poinsettias throughout Melbourne leading up to Christmas, with a note asking anyone who found one to adopt it.

Take me home!

It was great fun and it’s something that has caught on amongst a number of florists around the world along with [The Lonely Bouquet](http://www.thelonelybouquet.com/) movement.

And now that [The Flower Project](http://www.theflowerproject.org.au), which was created as a charity to give [bouquets](https://www.flowersacross.com.au/style/bouquets/) and brighten the lives of people who were going through tough times, has very sadly had to close due to lack of funding, we feel that there’s never been a better time to spread the [flower love](https://www.flowersacross.com.au/occasion/romantic/) throughout Melbourne and keep the giving going.

We’d love to hear what you think about Givr, so leave a comment or get in touch via [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/flowersacrossmelbourne)
