Date and time
When is Teachers' Day celebrated and why on November 24th?
Teachers' Day is celebrated every year on November 24th; in 2026, it falls on a Tuesday . Because it's a school day on a weekday , flowers for Teachers' Day are usually sent to the school, the teachers' lounge, or the classroom. This means the address, time slot, and recipient information are more important than ever.
On November 24, 1928, the Regulations for National Schools, prepared by the Minister of National Education Mustafa Necati Bey, were published in the Official Gazette and entered into force. With this regulation, President Mustafa Kemal Atatürk assumed the General Presidency of the National Schools, which would teach the new Turkish alphabet to the public, and the title of "Chief Teacher" .
The official declaration of November 24th as Teachers' Day took place in 1981, on the occasion of Atatürk's 100th birthday. Since then, November 24th has become an official day celebrated in schools with ceremonies, thank-you cards, and Teachers' Day flowers .
Today, flowers are one of the most visible parts of the celebration: it could be a single rose a student gives to their teacher in class, a vase arrangement sent to the school administration by a parent, or a multi-branched orchid collectively purchased by the class.
November 17-19
A bulk order plan for a class or multiple teachers, including addresses and recipient lists, will be shared via WhatsApp.
November 20-23
The most convenient window for a future order is to select your desired time slot for November 24th before it's shown as fully booked.
November 24, morning
Same-day delivery deadlines are: 4 PM in central districts and 2 PM in other districts. For school deliveries, the 10 AM - 4 PM time slot, coinciding with class hours, is the safest option.
Those that are in season in November
What flowers should be given on Teachers' Day?
Below we have summarized the most frequently chosen flowers to give to teachers , along with their availability in November. Since November 24th coincides with the transition from autumn to winter, the stock of spring flowers (peonies, tulips, hyacinths) may be limited; please refer to the stock information on the product card for these types.
Types of flowers for Teachers' Day and their availability in November.
| Flower type | Availability in November | Key feature | The most suitable situation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rose | All year round | A classic, warm choice that appeals to teachers of all ages; shades of pink, apricot, salmon, and red. | Individual thank you message, from parent to teacher. |
| Orchid | All year round | It lasts for weeks, is easy to maintain, and doesn't take up much space on the table. | Students who want a lasting gift and a class collaboration gift. |
| Chrysanthemum and Anastasia | Autumn flowers, abundant in November. | Long vase life and voluminous appearance; the backbone of mixed designs in autumnal tones. | A large arrangement to be sent to the school administration or the teachers' room. |
| Lily | All year round | Fragrant and showy; delivered in bud form, opens within days. | Teachers who want an elegant and simple option |
| Hydrangea | Stock dependent | Even on its own, it's bulky and impressive. | A collective thank you from the class. |
| Tulip | Limited, season starts in December. | Vibrant colors, a youthful and dynamic look. | A great choice for young teachers, if in stock. |
| Peony | Off-season, imported, and stock-dependent. | Layered and romantic look; limited availability in November. | A special gesture for a teacher with whom a close relationship has been established. |
| potted plant | All year round | They live for months; options include bonsai, succulents, olive trees, and maranta. | Male teachers and those who want a "lasting gift" |
If you can't decide, a mixed vase arrangement in autumnal tones is a safe choice.
Mixed designs that combine multiple flower types reduce risk when you don't know the teacher's preference and, since they are prepared with flowers that are abundant in November, there will be no stock issues. The designs in the fall collection are prepared specifically for this period.
Recommendation according to the buyer.
Flowers to be given to the female teacher, the male teacher, and the class.
The collection features over 180 designs suitable for male and female teachers, school administration, and as group gifts for the classroom. Prioritize if you know a teacher's taste; if you're unsure, the suggestions below offer a quick start.
Flowers for the Female Teacher
For bouquets sent to female teachers, pink, apricot, and salmon-toned roses, pastel-colored mini vase arrangements, and orchids stand out. If she has a simple taste, a single color and single flower type would be preferable; if she has a vibrant taste, a multicolored and voluminous design could be chosen.
- A bouquet of pink or apricot roses
- Mini pastel flowers in a ceramic or crystal vase.
- Solid color, two-branched orchid
Flowers for the Male Teacher
When choosing flowers for a male teacher, simpler and less colorful designs are generally preferred. A single-color orchid, a vase arrangement dominated by greenery, or a minimalist bouquet in white and green tones are easily accepted choices, even for recipients who are not accustomed to flowers.
- Monochromatic orchids or a vase arrangement dominated by greenery.
- Bonsai , succulent or table plant
- A box of chocolates along with flowers.
A Shared Gift Received by the Class
When the class gives gifts together, a single, showy design is more effective than numerous small bouquets. A four-stemmed orchid or a large vase arrangement can remain in the teachers' room for weeks; adding a class-signed card completes the gesture.
- Multi-branched orchid or deluxe vase arrangement
- Handmade card signed by the class
- One order in the name of the class representative, with the class name on the card note.
To the School Administration and the Teachers' Room
Flowers sent on behalf of parents or the school's parent-teacher association should be large, long-lasting, and come in vases, as they will be placed in a common area; this will eliminate the need to search for a vase. For corporate invoicing and deliveries to multiple schools, a corporate ordering channel can be used.
- Large vase arrangement in autumnal tones.
- Name of the sending institution or class on the card note.
- Delivery time is the interval after the start of the lesson.
Gift comparison
The Best Gift to Give a Teacher: Flowers or Something Else?
The best gift you can give a teacher is a question with no single right answer; flowers, chocolates, books, potted plants, and handmade cards each serve a different purpose. The comparison below honestly summarizes which gift stands out when.
| Gift | Its strength | The border |
|---|---|---|
| cut flower bouquet | Instant visual impact, wide range of colors and styles, same-day delivery. | Vases have a limited lifespan; there may not be vases at school. |
| Vase arrangement | No need to search for a vase; practical for the teachers' room and desk. | It is bulkier to carry than a bouquet. |
| Orchid or potted plant | It lasts for months; ideal for those who want a "lasting gift". | It requires maintenance; not everyone can sustain it. |
| Chocolate box | A practical accessory to accompany the flower; can be shared as a class. | It may not give a sense of a personalized gesture on its own. |
| Book | A lasting and thoughtful selection tailored to the teacher's area of interest. | Choosing the right book requires knowing the teacher. |
| Handmade card | The most personal and cost-effective option; its effect is enhanced when combined with flowers. | Its visual impact alone is not as instantaneous as a flower. |
The most powerful combination: flowers + a handmade card.
Combining the immediate visual and emotional impact of flowers with the personal touch of a handmade card offers a balanced solution for both those looking for flowers as a Teacher's Day gift and those who want a more personal gesture. If you prefer a ready-made option, you can add a note card to your cart.

Here you can find brief answers regarding the date, flower selection, card message, and school delivery. For order-specific stock and time information, please refer to the product card and payment screen.
What day of the week is Teachers' Day in 2026?
Teachers' Day is celebrated every year on November 24th; in 2026, it falls on a Tuesday. Since it's a school day on a weekday, flowers are usually sent to the school, the teachers' lounge, or the classroom. If you want same-day delivery, you need to order by 4 PM in central districts and by 2 PM in other districts; due to high demand, it's recommended to place your order for a later date between November 20th and 23rd.
Why is Teachers' Day celebrated on November 24th?
On November 24, 1928, the National Schools Regulations came into effect, and Mustafa Kemal Atatürk assumed the title of Head Teacher of the National Schools, which would teach the new Turkish alphabet to the public. November 24th was officially declared Teachers' Day in 1981, the 100th anniversary of Atatürk's birth, and has been celebrated every year since then.
What flowers should be given on Teachers' Day?
In November, the safest choices are flowers whose season extends into November, such as roses, orchids, chrysanthemums, and lilies; mixed vase arrangements in autumnal tones are also suitable for this period. For a long-lasting gift, an orchid or potted plant is recommended; for a classic thank you, a bouquet of roses; and for a showy class gift, a vase arrangement. Spring flowers such as peonies, tulips, and hyacinths are limited in November; refer to the stock information on the product card for these species.
What kind of flowers are given to a male teacher?
For male teachers, simple and low-color designs are generally preferred: a single-color orchid, a vase arrangement dominated by greenery, or a minimalist bouquet in white and green tones. Potted plants, bonsai, or succulents are also frequently chosen as alternatives, either in place of flowers or in conjunction with them, and they remain on the table for a long time.
What kind of flowers are given to a female teacher?
For female teachers, pink, apricot, or salmon-toned rose bouquets, pastel-colored mini vase arrangements, and orchids are among the most popular choices. The color choice can be made according to the teacher's style: if they have a simple taste, a single color and single flower type is more suitable; if they have a vibrant taste, a multicolored and voluminous design is more appropriate.
What should the class get for the teacher? Can I place a bulk order?
For class gifts, a single, elegant vase arrangement or a multi-branched orchid is more effective than numerous small bouquets; a class-signed card can be added to the arrangement. Orders for multiple teachers or different addresses can be coordinated via WhatsApp (0534 510 67 77 / 0535 462 68 90) or phone; a separate card note can be written for each recipient.
Can flowers be sent to school? What should I write in the address?
Yes. When delivering to a school address, please include the school's full address, the teacher's name, and, if applicable, their subject, branch, or class information; delivery is usually made at the school entrance or administration office. Choosing the 10:00-16:00 time slot for delivery during school hours and providing the teacher's or school administration's phone number as the recipient's number will facilitate delivery.
What can I write to my teacher along with the flowers?
The card note should be short and heartfelt: a thank you for their efforts, a sentence praising their contribution to the student's development, or a class-written message are popular choices. Using the teacher's name and mentioning a single specific memory will personalize the note. The card note entered during ordering is delivered with the product; for a longer message, you can request a handmade card to be given along with the flowers.
Will my Teacher's Day flowers be delivered to Istanbul on the same day?
Same-day delivery is available to all 39 districts of Istanbul, provided there is sufficient stock and courier capacity. Orders placed before 16:00 for Beşiktaş, Şişli, Sarıyer, Beyoğlu, and Kağıthane, and before 14:00 for the other 34 districts can be delivered the same day; delivery times can be selected as 10:00-16:00 or 16:00-20:00.
How many days do Teacher's Day flowers last?
The cool November air prolongs the life of cut flowers. Orchids and potted plants last for weeks or even months, chrysanthemum-heavy arrangements up to two weeks, and rose and lily bouquets, with proper care, stay fresh for seven to ten days. Trimming the stems every two days, changing the water frequently, and keeping the flowers away from hot places like radiators will extend their vase life.
Can I cancel or change my Teacher's Day order?
Flowers are perishable and therefore an exception to the general right of withdrawal. You must submit your cancellation or change request via WhatsApp, phone, or email before your order is prepared and before delivery. Refunds will be credited to your account within 7-10 days, depending on interbank processing times; details can be found in the Frequently Asked Questions and Distance Selling Agreement .
