Love is in the air, and the romantic day of the year is almost here! If you’re still trying to decide what to get your boyfriend or husband for Valentine’s Day, our florists want you to know that you don’t have to look any further than your local flower shop. With locations serving Glendora, Whittier, and Rowland Heights, Ron & Alicia Robinson Florist has plenty of Valentine’s gift options for men!
Why Flowers Are a Surprisingly Smart Choice for Your Man on Valentine’s Day
Men like receiving flowers just as much as women, but if flowers seem like a strange gift for a man, then we recommend taking a look at what science has to say. Studies have shown that men who receive flowers become more open and communicative. They stand closer to those around them and make better eye contact. If you’re hoping to share an intimate holiday with your significant other this Valentine’s Day, then we (and science) suggest giving him flowers.
The Best Floral Valentine’s Gifts for Guys
1. Sunflowers
For a man who appreciates natural beauty, sunflowers are a great choice. These sunny flowers have a rustic appeal and shine brightly in every floral design. One of our favorites for men is our Bright Box which pairs sunflowers with roses, carnations, and hypericum berries in a simple, wooden container.
2. Roses
Roses are an excellent choice for both men and women. While red roses are standard on Valentine’s Day, symbolizing romantic love, other hues are just as appropriate. If you feel all sorts of different affections for your man, then a bouquet with a variety of roses is a great choice. Our Blossoms in Vogue arrangement features pink, orange, and yellow roses, which respectively symbolize admiration, passion, and friendship.
3. Tropical Designs
Tropical flowers bloom in fiery colors and have unusual shapes and interesting textures, which makes them perfect in the types of contemporary designs men love. Our Tropical Bliss design features red ginger, Asiatic lilies, and tropical greens in a high-style design that your beau will adore and proudly display.
4. Dish Garden
Dish gardens are a wonderful choice for a guy who has just about any style. One of our favorites is our Tropical Dish Garden, which includes a variety of hand-selected anthuriums, bromeliads, spathiphyllum with attractive river rock accents.
5. Orchids
Orchids have an alluring beauty that will remind your man of you. Perfect for the office or home, our Opulent Orchid Plant features an all-white Phalaenopsis orchid in a sleek bamboo planter.
How to Choose the Perfect Floral Design for Your Guy
Shopping for flowers for a man might seem like a daunting task at first, but once you get started, you’ll see that there are actually lots of appropriate options available. Unless you know your man loves pink and pastel, we recommend skipping those colors in favor of more saturated hues. Look for primary colors, jewel tones, and monochromatic palettes. Men also tend to prefer more modern design styles. Keep an eye out for compact silhouettes and strong, clean lines.
If you still aren’t sure what type of flowers to order for your main man on Valentine’s Day, don’t worry! Our romance experts at Ron & Alicia Robinson Florist are always happy to help. Whether you order online, in person, or over the phone, we’ll provide you with professional advice and personalized recommendations to help you select the perfect floral gift for your sweetheart on Valentine’s Day.
