Who is behind Youquet?

RCK is responsible for web development and design, business thinking, and anticipating the interests and desires of customers we have yet to meet.

KJ had the idea for Youquet while recovering from an uninteresting surgery. She researched and gathered the traits and their flowers, and she builds/designs the arrangements.

Why is a Youquet a great gift for myself - or for someone else?

So happy you asked! 

No face, no physical body, is as interesting or as complex as the mind of the person inside. Who we are is not our face or our body but an amalgam of interests and passions, likes and dislikes, beliefs and loyalties, vulnerabilities and strengths.

Imagine visiting a genealogy website, finding a listing for a great-great-grandparent, and discovering that not only did they sort of look like you, but that they were artistic, hardworking, blunt, compassionate, and spiritual.

With those details, you would get to know them far better than you would by simply seeing the expression their face was making in the fraction of a second it took the camera to grab their likeness.

A Youquet respects the unique beauties and complications of the individual.

As a gift for yourself, a Youquet is every bit as valuable and fun to have as a picture of your face. Just like a photo, it’s a record of your existence, here and now…and can continue to be long after you’re gone.

As a gift for someone else, it says to the recipient that you’ve paid attention to who they are. You’ll give them the tremendously special experience of feeling ‘seen.’

Why personalize a Youquet?

TO CELEBRATE YOURSELF

Think of your own, personal Youquet as an Inner Selfie.

 
TO CELEBRATE A LOVED ONE

Show your friend, partner, or family member that you see and appreciate who they truly are.

TO CELEBRATE A PARTNERSHIP

Select the traits for each of you that best reflect who you are as individuals, or choose those that encapsulate the relationship as a whole, and we’ll create a Youquet that celebrates your togetherness.

(Because we offer 5- or 9-trait Youquets, if you’re choosing some for you and some for your partner and are trying to distribute them evenly, consider allowing the odd-trait-out to stand for an element of your relationship.)

 
TO CELEBRATE YOUR HOME

Whether occupied by one person and a single plant or ten people and three birds, every home has its own personality. Maybe it’s playful, feminine, and social. Maybe it’s warm, nurturing, and safe – a sanctuary. Whatever your home’s identity, a Youquet is the perfect way to commemorate the space where your life’s biggest, and quietest, moments happen.

What occasions are best for a Youquet?

Youquets are appropriate in most situations:

  • Impromptu gift for a friend
  • Birthday/Valentine’s/Holiday gift for a romantic partner (men like them too – KJ’s husband hasn’t taken his little 5×5 framed Youquet off the coffee table since he received it at Christmas)
  • Mother’s/Father’s Day gift
  • Name sign for a child’s room
  • Commitment ceremony gift that combines the traits of the celebrating parties into a single Youquet
  • Housewarming gift for yourself or a friend that captures the “character” of the home
  • Memorial service display or program image that observes and honors the deceased’s distinctive nature

Is any AI used in the creation of Youquets?

Not knowingly. If any of the artists who created the flowers and plants in our Youquets used AI to make those flowers or plants, we’re not aware of it. No AI is involved in the arrangement of Youquets or in any other facet of the ultimate design.

Why can’t I have my from-scratch Youquet right away?

That one person is behind the arrangement of each Youquet means a slight wait before you’ll be able to access it, but we’ll get it to you as quickly as we can.
