Women Love Flowers
Whether you aware of it or not, the average woman knows as much about flower varieties as the average man knows about the various makes and models of cars. And just the way a man will occasionally sit around and daydream about sports cars and how he might buy one someday, women too, will occasionally sit around and daydream about roses....and how he might buy some one day.
The wanting doesn't stop there, believe it or not, for there is still another want that is perhaps the most important to women and often the least understood by men when it comes to flowers. In addition to your thoughtfulness and the flowers themselves, women absolutely love having them delivered! The best time? When they aren't expecting it!
Why You Should Send Her Flowers
Sending flowers to a woman is one of the few truly storied and romantic practices that still exist in our culture. It's up there with buying woman jewelry, or sweeping her away to a tropical paradise for the weekend. Sending flowers, you will notice, is the least expensive of these practices.
By sending flowers to a woman, you will fulfill three key desires that most women have in a relationship; she is loved, she is beautiful, and the people around her think so too. What makes having flowers sent so much different?
The Answer Is In the Presentation
When you send a woman flowers, there are usually other women who will notice. For starters, every single woman within a 500 foot radius will immediately notice her when the flowers are delivered. For that moment, the woman is the center of attention, and the others begin to buzz about how lucky she is, how terrific you - the sender - must be, and how wonderful your life must be together. Getting a bouquet to her in front of co-workers is a woman's equivalent of a "slam-dunk".
The next step for the woman is to call every single person she knows that isn't within 500 feet of her, and tell them about the flowers. Her girlfriends, her mother, the will all know about the flowers within 24 hours of your gesture. They too, will all be envious of how wonderful your relationship must be together.
Finally, there are certain benefits to sending a woman flowers that you will also feel as a result of a chain reaction of events in her life. Benefits will vary from person to person. Keep her on her toes, be creative, be spontaneous, and you will be rewarded.
Tips for Ladies
Men Love Flowers, Too!
One of the biggest concerns that a woman has when choosing a gift for a man is how he would react to receiving flowers. Men love flowers! It may come as a surprise that in a recent survey conducted by the Society of American Florists, over 60% of men surveyed said that they would like to receive flowers on Valentines Day. This hardly seems shocking when you think about the reason behind this occurrence - men like to receive flowers for the same reason that they send them...to be recognized.
All of us like to feel special; however, it requires a bit more tact when you send flowers to a man. First, when selecting flowers, stick to vivid hues such as orange, red, purple, bright yellow and gold. Men respond best to bright, powerful colors. Avoid pastels or traditional "feminine" designs. If you are unsure about the types of flowers you can always start off by sending a plant or dish garden.
Men Like Contemporary or Exotic Arrangements
Second, it is best to send contemporary or exotic arrangements. Linear or natural styles are better received than "fluffy" ones. In selecting an arrangement you can also try to incorporate his favorite hobby into the design. If he is a golfer you can include a box of golf balls. If he is into cars, maybe a car magazine should be tucked in.
Send Him Flowers on the Same Occasions He Remembers You
Third, when choosing the right time to send him flowers, think about the occasions on which he sends you flowers. If he sends you flowers for your birthday or your anniversary, maybe those would be good times to send flowers to him. And don't forget about Valentines Day, a promotion, or as a host gift at one of his parties.
Florists have known for decades that men love flowers, and today there is an increasing trend of men buying flowers for their own homes and offices. They too like a bright arrangement on their desk or fragrant flowers in their foyer.
