When you think of Valentine’s Day gifts, flowers are probably high on the list. Bouquets bursting with seasonal and local blooms have long been the go-to way to express love and admiration. But let’s take a moment to challenge a common assumption—why do we so often overlook men when it comes to receiving flowers? According to a Society of American Florists poll, 60% of men would like to receive flowers. However, only 12% of men receive
flowers in their lifetime. Come on ladies, we can do better!

The idea that flowers are just for the gals is so outdated. The truth is, flowers are a universal love language. Their colors, scents, and symbolism speak to something deeply human: appreciation, joy, and affection. Yet, when it comes to gifting blooms, men are often left out of the equation, as if flowers are somehow a uniquely feminine gift experience. Spoiler alert: they’re not!
The mood-boosting effects that flowers have work on everyone, regardless of gender. A vibrant arrangement on a desk, nightstand, or kitchen table can brighten anyone’s day and bring a sense of warmth and care. So why not surprise the men in your life—partners, friends, dads, or brothers—with the same floral joy that women have always traditionally received?

This Valentine’s Day, let’s break the mold. Whether it’s a bold bouquet of deep red roses, a rustic mix of wildflowers, or a sleek and modern arrangement of tulips and greenery, flowers can be a heartfelt and unexpected gift for anyone.
Love isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither are the ways we show it. Let’s make Valentine’s Day a celebration of love in all its forms—without leaving anyone out of the beauty of fresh blooms!
Now get to ordering that special man in your life some flowers!
