Show Your Friends Love with Colorful Valentine’s Day Blooms

One of the most memorable days from childhood were those when classmates and teachers would exchange folded-up valentines with cute messages that said things like “you’re cool,” “you rock,” and the like with small pieces of candy attached to them. As kids, we celebrated the many types of love, giving everyone from the teacher to your classmates to your family members Valentine’s Day cards. As adults, we do the same by sending love to our friends, family, and partner in personalized messages and with little gifts or personalized flowers to show how much we appreciate them. So, if you are looking to swap the Valentine’s Day puns and lollipops for something more sophisticated and meaningful, the experts here at Welke’s Florist, the premier florist in Milwaukee, WI, are sharing gift ideas that are perfect for friends, neighbors, guys, and girl friends.

How to Select a Fun Valentine’s Day Surprise

Gift Ideas for Your Bestie

Your Besties can always use a reminder of your appreciation and the bond you share as friends, regardless of how often you see each other. Since a dozen red roses might send a different message, we suggest you find the ideal symbolic bloom to commemorate your unbreakable friendship. Alstroemeria, cymbidium orchids, sunflowers, and hydrangeas are all thoughtful and colorful options that send messages of friendship, devotion, admiration, support, loyalty, family, unity,  and more.

Gift Ideas for the Girls

Women love receiving a bright and beautiful bouquet of flowers, especially on Galentine’s Day. Surprise your best girls with an arrangement of fresh blooms whose colors and petals best symbolize your relationship. Consider choosing the flower color that perfectly represents your friendship. Some ideas include yellow roses to represent positivity and happiness, pink to signify grace and femininity, green symbolizes luck and harmony, and blue is connected to serenity and peace.

Gift Ideas for Men

The men in your life may not be expecting a bouquet of flowers but rather anticipating another subscription to a shaving club, some new golf balls, or the like. Flowers are often overlooked as a guy’s gift due to their association with femininity, beauty, and grace. However, this idea is one that’s fading fast into the past. Many men would love to receive a floral arrangement or plant, especially if it includes hardy, bold, or tropical stems such as gerbera daisies, carnations, orchids, peace lilies, and birds of paradise.

Gift Ideas for Couples

Valentine’s Day doesn’t even need to be a celebration of the love that you hold. For example, a recently engaged or married friend or family member, or one building a new relationship, would be a great candidate for a surprise Valentine’s bouquet. If you are looking for a great couple’s gift, start with a romantic collection of flowers, like red and white roses, carnations, or lilies. Then, pair this magnificent flower arrangement with a gift to enhance the romance or promote a romantic night. A bottle of wine, a cozy blanket, their favorite movie or rom-com, deliciously flavored popcorn, or tickets to a show are all loving and generous ideas to ensure the couple you love has a great Valentine’s Day together.

Gift Ideas for Neighbors

Sweet and friendly neighbors are the best! The people living in our neighborhoods and communities, whether down the road or right next door, can often be there for us if we need a cup of sugar, extra egg, or even someone to let the dog out in the afternoons. Neighborly love is one of the most wholesome and fantastic relationships we can have. Over time, our neighbors sometimes become some of our dearest friends. A fresh bouquet for your trusted neighbor this Valentine’s Day will enhance their mood, making their day full of love and gratitude. Choose a floral arrangement that includes cheerful hues, their favorite colors, or Valentine’s Day pinks to symbolize joy, thoughtfulness, grace, appreciation, and happiness.

Gift Ideas for Co-workers

Did you know that flowers and plants can enhance productivity by 15%? Whether your co-workers are women or men, this aesthetic breath of fresh air can not only add a pop of color and joy to their desks but also promote a more effective workday. Blooms, like hibiscus, dahlias, lilies, and gerbera daisies, are a great choice to celebrate Valentine’s Day at work as they symbolize success, enthusiasm, joy, happiness, warmth, and passion for both work and life.

Flowers make fantastic gifts for all occasions, especially Valentine’s Day, as we express ourselves through flowers. A floral arrangement can range in color, meaning, size, and shape. It can be luxurious or inexpensive and be personalized and tailored to each “love” in your life. Say “I love you” with a stunning collection of Valentine’s Day blooms from Welke’s Florist in Milwaukee.
