Love is in the air in Tulsa, which means that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. If you’re still trying to decide what to get your husband or boyfriend for Valentine’s Day, our florists at Mary Murray’s Flowers want to remind you that you can find lots of Valentine’s gift options for men at our local flower shop.
Great Valentine’s Gifts for Men That You Can Find at Our Flower Shop
Roses In The Garden
1. Roses
Roses are a great choice for both men and women, and red roses symbolize romance — perfect for Valentine’s Day! For a man’s rose design, we recommend looking for something less frilly. Roses paired with lots of greenery and even a few white blooms create a nice, rustic look that most men will love. Our popular Roses in the Garden design features red, pink, and orange roses alongside white and green hydrangea and plenty of meadow greens that your guy will adore.
His Favorite Things
2. Delicious Treats
If the way to your man’s heart is definitely through his taste buds, then we recommend sending him a gift basket filled with his favorite treats. His Favorite Things snack basket includes a variety of savory stuff he’ll enjoy (and you will, too)!
Desktop Garden
3. Dish Garden
Dish gardens include a variety of carefully selected green plants that are easy to care for and that men love! Plus, the leafy plants will help purify the air and replenish the oxygen. Our Desktop Garden is great for any guy with an office. It’s small enough to enjoy at work, but its beauty will make a major impact.
Succulent Garden
4. Succulents
If your man has a busy schedule, then a low-maintenance gift is the ideal choice. We recommend a Succulent Garden, which includes a variety of lovely plants that are extremely easy to take care of. All your guy’s new succulents will need is a sunny location and the extremely occasional drink of water.
Bromeliad Plant
5. Bromeliad
Members of the pineapple family, bromeliads have spiky leaves, and they bloom in fiery colors like red, orange, yellow, and magenta. In nature, bromeliads grow from the bark of rainforest trees, but they will also thrive potted in your man’s office or home. A popular choice for men, our bromeliad plant is easy to care for and comes in a sleek bamboo container.
Why Flowers Might Be the Best Choice for Men on Valentine’s Day
Although it might not be a well-known fact, men actually enjoy receiving flowers just as much as women. Plus, sending your beau flowers for Valentine’s Day could actually be the best thing you can do for your celebration. Studies have shown that men who receive flowers can actually become more open and communicative. They’ve also been shown to make better eye contact and stand closer to those around them. Giving your man flowers could result in the most intimate Valentine’s Day you’ve shared yet!
How to Choose a Floral Arrangement for a Man
Picking out a floral arrangement for a guy can be tricky, especially if you’re not sure what his favorite flowers are. There are some guidelines to which you can stick to simplify the process. We recommend avoiding pink and other pastels unless you know your man likes those colors. It’s best to choose arrangements featuring vibrant colors like jewel tones, primaries, and citrus hues. Monochrome color palettes also tend to be popular with men. It’s also good to look for a more masculine design and silhouette. Choose modern looks that feature compact designs and strong, clean lines.
If you’re not sure what to pick for your guy’s Valentine’s gift, don’t worry! Our florists at Mary Murray’s Flowers are always happy to help. Whether you order online, over the phone, or in person, we can provide you with expert advice and personalized recommendations to help you choose the perfect floral arrangement or gift basket for your sweetheart.
