The Best Valentine’s Gifts from Our Local Flower Shop
1. Calla Lilies
Calla lilies are a no-frills, stately-looking flower that is an excellent choice for men. Our Calla Lily Beauty design features cream callas with a variety of greenery in a sleek container. If you love the idea of lilies but would prefer a plant, we recommend peace lilies because they’re easy to care for, as they don’t require much attention beyond watering once a week.
2. Tropical Flowers
Tropical flowers, like anthurium, protea, ginger, and birds of paradise which are striking and bold, are always a hit with men. These blooms have fiery colors, interesting shapes, and unusual textures that typically look best in the modern designs that men tend to love. Our Mahalo arrangement highlights tangerine birds of paradise with luxurious tropical foliage.
3. Orchids
The alluring beauty of the green cymbidium orchids in our Bodhisattva floral design will enchant your recipient. This unique design will create a relaxing workspace or look lovely in your man’s home.
4. Succulents
If your guy has a busy schedule, then a low-maintenance gift is essential. Succulents rarely need watering and don’t require much additional care — other than making sure they have a sunny location. Our Whiskey Barrel Succulent planter is perfect for the special man in your life. It includes a variety of succulents artfully arranged in a masculine whiskey barrel container.
5. Dish Gardens
Filled with a variety of no-fuss blooming and non-blooming plants, dish gardens are a great gift for any guy. The plants included in our European Garden with Decorative Ceramic will create a calm atmosphere, while also purifying the air and replenishing oxygen.
Why Flowers Are the Perfect Valentine’s Day Gift for Him
Flowers for a man might seem unexpected, but it’s actually a wonderful gift. Men love receiving flowers, and sending him a floral arrangement might just improve your Valentine’s Day. Studies have shown that men who receive flowers become more open and communicative. They also make better eye contact and stand closer to those around them. If you’re hoping for an intimate day with your significant other, then we strongly recommend sending flowers.
How to Choose a Valentine’s Gift for Him
Picking out a Valentine’s gift can feel overwhelming because you want to get it right. He’ll probably love anything you select because you chose it while thinking of him, but we do have a few pointers to make sure the item you choose is something he’ll love outright.
When browsing flowers, we recommend staying away from arrangements that have too much pink or pastel flowers in them. Instead, stick with bold colors like green, blue, red, and orange. Look for masculine, eye-catching designs, which are usually more contemporary looks.
If you know that the way to your guy’s heart is through his stomach, instead of a floral arrangement, then we recommend sending a gift basket filled with gourmet delights, his favorite junk foods, or with essentials for grilling.
If you’re not sure what you should get your guy for Valentine’s Day, don’t worry! Our experts at Billy Heroman’s are always happy to help. Whether you order in person, over the phone, or online, we’ll provide you with personalized recommendations and professional advice to make sure to choose the perfect gift for your sweetheart this Valentine’s Day.
