Who says roses are the only flowers you can gift your sweetie on Valentine’s Day? If you and your Valentine like to live life outside the box, try these unique flower ideas.
5 reasons why she’ll love not getting a rose this Valentine’s Day
Want to kick your V-Day flowers up a notch? Spring for something other than the classic rose. She’ll love that…
You put effort into your present. Let’s face it, roses are one of the easiest presents to give on Valentine’s Day. Pick out a unique bunch of flowers instead — she’ll love the extra effort you put into choosing a nontraditional arrangement.
She’s different. When everyone else has the same bouquet of roses in the office, she’ll have something totally different to flaunt.
You didn’t make a big deal about Valentine’s Day. Did she impose a “no Valentine’s Day gift” rule? If you stray from the traditional bouquet of roses, you can get away with giving her a “just because” gift with less pressure.
You went local. Environmentally-conscious girlfriends will love that you visited a local florist or garden local to your region.
You splurged on something other than pricey roses. Maybe with the money you saved on roses, you can gift her something she’ll really love, like a charm bracelet or photo collage of the two of you.
Bottom line
Add a little flair to your V-Day gift this year by browsing through tons of bouquets that aren’t traditional roses. Go for her favorite color or type of flower — even if that means ordering her a sunflower bouquet!
Frequently asked questions
Prices tend to creep up starting in mid to late January, so order your flowers earlier to save a little money. But keep in mind that cut flowers won’t last as long as live plants.
Many online flower delivery services also charge extra for deliveries on Valentine’s Day. Schedule your delivery for a day or two before the holiday to save.
It depends on your location and the florist you choose. On average, expect to pay around $3.50 per rose — so $42 for a dozen.
Red roses traditionally symbolize passionate love, so they’re a popular choice for this holiday. But other flowers can convey the same message.
