Guys Guide to Flowers

For the man who thinks, "it's a jungle out there" when it comes to buying flowers, these simple tips will pave the way:

Be Spontaneous!
If you really want to make her feel special, surprise her!  Anniversaries, birthdays and Valentine’s Day are obvious times to send flowers and women may be used to receiving flowers at these times. 

Why wait for an occasion?
Flowers given for no reason other than "I was thinking of you today" make a huge impact because they are unexpected. 

Try Something New
Most women are keenly aware of the multitude of floral varieties available and are eager to see new flowers first-hand. Why not consider sending her roses of an unusual colour, like peach or yellow, or an arrangement of mixed flowers?

Being innovative demonstrates that you have consciously thought of a way to delight and surprise her, not simply sent something she will be merely satisfied with, plus your originality will not go unnoticed!

Don’t be predictable, it may be more expensive.
It is a classic case of supply and demand, the price of roses peak around Valentine's Day, so why not surprise her by sending your gift a month early with a card saying “Couldn’t wait a month to spoil you. Let’s celebrate our Valentine’s Day tonight!”  The unpredictability of your actions may be seen as even more romantic and thoughtful.
Roses flourish in spring and summer, so Roses Only offer greater value specials during these months - all the more reason to be spontaneous…

Flowers don’t mean commitment!
Relax, guys. Long stem RED roses are traditionally linked to romance and love, so this gift will be making a similar statement. However, the card message will really determine your feelings and intentions.

Roses of other colours do not necessarily have this romantic stigma attached. Simply select roses based on colours that she likes or wears, or perhaps the colours that are most dominant in her home/office.  Another option is to send a flower arrangement or bouquet of mixed flowers, as these gifts are suitable for all reasons and occasions.

A gift for everyone?
From romantic to friendly to something in between, flowers are a gift suitable for all recipients and great for all occasions such as anniversaries, birthdays, the birth of a new baby, sympathy gifts and more.

Sending flowers are a great way to express many thoughts and feelings.
