Flowers are a top-tier gift for Valentine’s Day (or any day, let’s be real) because who doesn’t love getting a beautiful bouquet? The smiles are instant! Plus, flowers don’t just look good — they smell amazing and bring all the positive energy. And yes, they’re proven to lift spirits and decrease stress, which we’re all about. But if you want to take it up a notch, add something extra to the equation. Here at Mary Murray’s Flowers in Tulsa, Oklahoma, we’ve got you covered. Start with a stunning bouquet of fresh, seasonal blooms arranged by our designers, and then pick the perfect add-on to go with it.

Red Roses and Gourmet Chocolate

Peanut butter and jelly, silver and gold, cookies and milk. These are just some things that naturally go together, but we think red roses and chocolate take the cake, especially on Valentine’s Day! They’re seriously loved by so many people (and have been since forever) thanks to the way they complement one another: Chocolate is rich and decadent (and tastes amazing, we all know it) while roses are lush and delicate with an incredible fragrance. We also love the symbolism of red roses: romance all the way up to eleven. So perfect!

Pink Roses and Prosecco

Another belle of the floral ball that we’re super into is pink roses, which have a gentle and sweet way of conveying appreciation and admiration. That makes them the perfect pick for who else, mom; she deserves all of the flowers (literally and figuratively), thanks to her incredible support. But mom isn’t all soft edges, as we suspect she’d love it if a bottle of sparkling Prosecco accompanies the roses to the dance. It’s a balanced gift that encourages her to reflect on how grateful her loved ones are for her while taking a moment to simply sip and enjoy.

Bird of Paradise and an IPA

If you’re looking for the perfect flower to give to your one-of-a-kind dad, look no further than the dramatic birds of paradise. Known for their seriously gorgeous colors and unique shape (like a bird gliding effortlessly through the air), these tropical beauties are great for masculine gifting. They also rep happiness and freedom, which reminds us of the amazing way our dads encourage us to follow our own bliss. For extra gifting greatness, combine bird of paradise with a craft IPA or his favorite bottle of cab for a super fun and flavorful combo.

Orchids and a Savory Gift Basket

Our favorite thing about purple orchids, along with their gorgeous petals, is what they represent: admiration, respect, and seriously royal energy. The perfect recipient of these beautiful blossoms? Grandma and grandpa, who literally embody those venerable traits. On top of that, orchids have a (totally well-deserved) reputation of living for a long time, which 100 percent shouts out longevity — a perfect match for longstanding bonds. Of course, a savory gift basket with yummy cheeses, tasty nuts, and other noshes goes great with purple orchids, as these foods keep us nourished, much like our grandparents’ love.

Yellow Lilies and Balloons

We always loved it when Mister Rogers reminded us to look for the helpers in every situation. Take it to the next level by thanking the helpers in your life, whether that’s on Administrative Professionals Day or a special occasion when you just want to say thank you. The perfect flower for this assignment? Yellow lilies, ambassadors of appreciation, cheerfulness, and good vibes. Let them fly solo in the arrangement or invite gladiolus to the party if you want to shout out someone’s strength of character. Pair the flowers with a fun balloon so everyone can see how awesome your recipient is.

At Mary Murray’s Flowers, we’re big fans of going the extra mile for those we love. A bouquet is beautiful, but adding a thoughtful bonus? That’s what makes a gift truly shine.
