Whatever be the occasion, flowers as gifts always work like a charm. Every flower type expresses a different feeling and a different emotion, did you know?
Red Roses
Red roses are a classic choice for every generation’s romance. They convey the promise of a commitment that looks forward to a “happily after” love story. If you are serious about your lady love, and you positively feel that she is the one, then gift her red roses. If you aren’t too sure then you should probably settle for something less intense like Tulips. Remember when you gift a woman red roses, you’re asking her to accept you completely in her life. So gift her red roses only if you’re honestly ready to accept her as an important part of your life.
Daisies
Daisies make the perfect floral gift, when you’re in a relationship with no hang-ups and no commitments. They’re fun and don’t mean anything mean in the lines of something serious like “I Love You” or “You’re My Fairytale”. Daisies are also symbols of innocence, so they make the perfect gift when you’re in the wooing phase or when you have just began dating. They also work as great pacifiers if you’ve had a fight or an unpleasant argument.
Peonies
Peonies are said to be good omens when you are starting something new, whether it’s a relationship, job or a new hobby. Peonies also make a great first impression; they’ll convey to your to-be partner that you like to keep it classy. And since, peonies are lucky, you will surely invite plenty of luck in your love life.
Tulips
Second only to roses, Tulips have just the right amount of sophistication and casualness in them. Tulips come in a variety of colors, so that’s a plus. If you are the type that likes to give relationship’s time and yet not commitment, till you’re absolutely sure, Tulips make the perfect gift. A multi-colored Tulip bouquet could mean that you love their presence in your life.
Carnations
Simple and dainty, carnations come in plenty of colors and are cheap. If you’re the kind, who often likes to surprise your lady love, carnations are your best bet. You can choose a carnation bouquet depending on the color she likes the most.

Do you feel all dreamy when you look at the flowers your beau gifted you and wish that they’d last forever? Sadly they don’t. Before they turn into a fossilized bookmark, enjoy the sight of them while they last with these simple helpful tips. Buy another bunch once they die.
Soda Can Be Useful Too
That unhealthy bottle of soda lying in your fridge can be to put to some good use. Pour about 4 spoons of soda into the water in your flower vase. The sugar in the soda will make your flowers last longer.
Tip: Use clear sodas , unless you like your base to look colorful.
Hairspray
Your favorite grooming accessory can also double up as a flower preserving agent. At a distance of a foot, spurt some hairspray on to the undersides of the leaves and petals. The flowers will continue looking fresh for a longer span.
Apple Cider Vinegar
When it comes to flower care, you don’t really have to look beyond your hair care routine. Apart from taking care of your skin and hair apple cider vinegar can also double up as a preserving agent. Mix the water in the vase with 2 spoons of sugar and 2 spoons of apple cider vinegar. Change the water daily and add a fresh mixture of vinegar and sugar to the water.
Vodka
Apart from keeping your spirits high, the vodka will also make your cut flowers last long. Mix two spoonfuls of vodka with 2 spoonfuls of sugar and add it to the water in your flower vase. Keep changing the vodka and sugar mixture to keep the flowers fresh.
Aspirin
Crushed aspirin in water is the most common and most effective advice for preserving cut flowers. Only tip we’d like to add is, don’t forget to change the water with a fresh new crushed aspirin everyday.
Bleach
The only reason why flowers die quickly is because of the bacterial growth in the water that they’re stored in. Mix a spoon of sugar with ¼ teaspoon of bleach and add it to the water in which the flowers are kept.
A Penny A Day Keeps The Flowers Fresh
Sorry can’t rhyme, but the copper in the penny acts as an acidifier and will stop the bacteria from spreading in the stagnant water.
Sugar
Sugar in itself is enough to keep flowers fresh. If you don’t have any of the fancy things we mentioned above, just add 3 spoons of sugar everyday and don’t forget to change the water daily.
We hope your flowers last long this Valentine’s season and in case they don’t we hope your beau sends you another fresh bunch of flowers. With online flower delivery it’s all so easy. 😀 Have a splendid Valentine’s week lovers!

Valentine’s Day gifting can be stressful. Choosing gifts for women is tedious because men are spoilt for choice. Choosing gifts for men is tedious, cause it seems like there aren’t enough options. Women are often faced with the dilemma of wanting to gift something meaningful but are often lost in zeroing down on the perfect gift.
We interviewed a few men and unlocked the eternal question of what to gift a man on Valentine’s Day.
Here are the spoils:
Time Time And More Time
Most men just wanted their better halves to spend the entire day with them. Material gifts don’t really matter.
This the best gift that you can surprise your love with. For a change, let Valentine’s Day be about him and not you. Give him company doing the things he likes doing.
Team Jersey
The simplest things can make a man happy. Know his favorite team?
Get him a jersey! He’ll love you even more, for taking the effort to get him a meaningful gift. It’s the little things that matter.
Video Games
Most men love video games. A few days before V-Day discreetly observe his choice in video games.
Find out the genre he loves the most, do a little search online and gift him a video game you think he’d love. To make it an even greater surprise, spend some quality time playing the new game with him.
Books
You know his favorite genre and there must be this particular hard-to-find book that he has been looking for a while.
Go the extra mile and get him that special edition, hardbound collector’s item. He will love you more than ever.
Your First Drink Together
Remember the first drink that you two got drunk to? Buy him exactly that bottle of alcohol. He will love to reminisce those precious memories.
To make the affair a tad more romantic, set up a table with his favorite meal, and adorn it with a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers you can book through online flower delivery.
Poster Of His Favorite Film/Inspirational Person
Buy him a vintage poster of favorite film or a significant personality he looks up to and frame it.
He will love a surprise such as this.
Chocolates
No man can say no chocolates (well almost no man).
Make sure you know whether he likes dark chocolates or white chocolates and gift him the finest box of chocolates that you can get your hands on. Watch his heart slowly melt at the sight of all that delicious chocolate.
Bake A Cake
The effort you take into baking a cake will melt his heart.
If you aren’t too sure of your baking skills, buy him one by booking online (just to play it safe).
Write Him A Love Letter
Men may pretend like they aren’t really the mushy kinds, but they love the attention you give them. Write him a heart-felt love letter that expresses how much he means to you.
If you are in a long distance relationship, you can make this even more romantic by sending him the love letter by post and also booking flowers through international flower delivery services.
If you think you have more ideas to make Valentine’s Day right for men, mention them in the comment box below. We’d love to hear from you. We hope you make it a special one for your special man.

Loving is tough; long-distance loving, only tougher. It’s important to give meaning to your love life, and more so in a long distance relationship, because you’re stripped of your most basic necessity of relationship-building i.e. meeting each other.
Even if you can’t be present, there are plenty of ways to make your presence felt. It’s not necessary that you spend a lot of money, what’s important is the amount of effort you put in to making your presence felt. While some choose expensive jewellery, electronics or other gifts to surprise their sweethearts, experts have suggested flowers especially in the case of long-distance relationships.
People have been expressing love with flowers for thousands of years. The only difference today is that it’s become a lot a easier to send your wishes across the globe. In the month of love, you are surely going to miss your special someone and there’s no better way to make up for your absence than by sending flowers. Planning well in advance for occasions and a timely delivery makes a floral gift doubly worth. A personalized letter makes it even better.
Choosing Flowers
Choosing flowers based on the significance and meaning they have to you as a couple is a genuine way to show that you care. Pinks, reds and whites remain the traditional favorite of couples. However a mixed colored bunch or radiant contrast of any two uncommon colors also makes a great choice. For extra special occasions, you can add a cake or perfume to the floral delivery.
So what if you aren’t there to wish her/him a good morning or a goodnight you can always make your presence felt with fresh flowers. At flora2000.com we give you the chance to keep reminders for all special occasions, i.e. birthdays, anniversaries etc. You need not restrict your floral gifts to his/her home alone, you can surprise him/her on a dull Monday with a blooming bunch of posies too. We undertake international flower delivery to 190 countries, so it doesn’t matter whether you’re miles apart. We’ll make sure we deliver your gifts on time and in the most pristine conditions.
So go ahead and book a beautiful bunch of flowers for your special one.
