Cheer in a Jar

Cheer in a Jar: A Jarful of Bright, Happy Flowers

Some gifts have to try hard to lift a mood. A jar of colour does it on arrival. Cheer in a Jar is exactly that, a glassful of bright flowers in a jar built to make someone grin: orange roses, true-blue delphinium, pink limonium and snapdragons, all lit up with sprigs of lime-green solidago. We arrange it stem by stem in a clear glass jar, tied with a little twine, so it lands ready to stand on a desk or a kitchen table with no vase to find. Our florists put every jar together by hand in our Claremont studio, the way we have since 1999, and it is backed by a 5.0 Trustpilot rating and thousands of Loox reviews. Find more in our flowers in a jar, our mixed flower bouquets and the full roses range.

Colour in a glass. The kind of gift that lifts a whole room.

What Is in the Jar

The whole idea here is happy contrast. We start with orange roses for warmth, run tall blue delphinium up through the middle for height and a proper pop of colour, then soften the edges with pink limonium, pink snapdragons and a few stems of alstroemeria. Lime-green solidago threads through the gaps and keeps the whole thing looking just-picked rather than formal. Because we build to the season, the exact mix shifts a little through the year while the bright, cheerful feel stays the same. If you like a specific bloom in here, our delphiniums and orange flowers are worth a look, and our what is a rose guide is a nice read. It sits in good company with the rest of the jar family: Joy in a Jar, Glee in a Jar, Happiness in a Jar and Sunshine in a Jar.

Arranged in a Jar, Ready to Display

Every jar is arranged by hand and delivered in its glass jar, already in water, so there is nothing to unwrap or arrange at the other end. That makes it a kind gift for someone who is busy, unwell, or simply would rather not hunt for a vase: it arrives looking finished. When the flowers are done, the jar is a keeper, good for the next bunch from the garden or a windowsill of its own.

When to Send a Jar of Cheer

This is the bouquet for good, everyday reasons to smile. It is one of our favourite get-well flowers, bright enough to change the feel of a sick room, and it makes happy birthday flowers for someone who loves colour. Send it as congratulations flowers for good news, as a thank-you that feels personal, or just because someone could do with a lift.

Frequently Asked Questions

What flowers are in Cheer in a Jar?

It is a bright seasonal mix, usually orange roses, blue delphinium, pink limonium, snapdragons, alstroemeria and lime-green solidago, arranged in a glass jar. The exact flowers shift a little with the season while the cheerful, colourful look stays the same.

Does it come arranged in the jar?

Yes. It is arranged stem by stem in a clear glass jar and delivered already in water, so it arrives finished and ready to display. There is no vase to find and nothing to arrange.

What flowers are best to cheer someone up?

Bright, mixed flowers in warm and bold colours are the most uplifting, which is why this jar leans on orange, blue and pink. The variety and the colour are what lift a mood, and a jar you do not have to unpack makes it easy for the person receiving it.

How long will it last?

With clean water, a fresh trim every couple of days and a spot out of direct sun, expect a week or more. Our flower care guide covers the details, and topping up the water in the jar keeps it looking its best.

Is it a good get-well gift?

Yes, it is one of our most popular get-well gifts. The colour does the cheering, and because it arrives arranged in its own jar, there is nothing for the recipient to sort out. Our get-well flowers guide has more ideas.

Can I get same-day delivery in Cape Town and Joburg?

Yes. Order before 12pm, Monday to Saturday, for same-day delivery across Cape Town and Johannesburg. As a fresh jar arrangement it is delivered within these two cities rather than couriered nationwide.
