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.
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.
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.
We'd like to thank our
friends at the
Society of American
Florists for this information.
