4. Sending a Gift Like Flowers


In a classic case of supply and demand, the price of roses peaks on Valentine's Day. Women may be used to receiving flowers on birthdays and anniversaries. They may even quickly notice the presence of flowers on these occasions. But flowers given for no reason other than "I was thinking of you today" make higher impact because they are unexpected .


Try Something New


Women are keenly aware of the multitude of floral varieties available and are eager to see new specimens 1. Giving roses of unusual hue 2 -- like peach and pink -- or an arrangement of mixed flowers demonstrates an awareness 3 of color and an understanding of botany that will not go unnoticed.


Flowers Are Never Boring


Because of their infinite diversity and unique appeal , flowers can be given time and time again without losing their "specialness." Each new floral arrangement is a fresh and individual declaration of appreciation 4 -- reflecting positively 5 on your imagination and thoughtfulness.


Flowers Don't Have to Mean Commitment


Relax guys. Women know when an arrangement simply means you care.


Get professional help


Selecting flowers may be a bewildering experience for the uninitiated man. Fortunately, help is available: the local flower shop can create an affordable 6 and personalized flower arrangement.


A Gift of Flowers Goes a Long Way


Every woman remembers the last time she got flowers. Just as you never forgot the first time a woman other than your mom served you a home-cooked meal, she'll treasure this gesture forever.
