Our florists can feel it; romance is in the air in Pueblo and West Pueblo, which means Valentine’s Day is almost here. It’s time to start thinking about what to buy your husband or boyfriend. When the aisles of stores are filled with frilly plush animals, it means you have to get creative. But don’t worry; you won’t have to think too hard because our experts at Campbell’s Flowers are here to let you know that men actually love receiving flowers and plants for Valentine’s Day.
Studies have actually shown that men who receive flowers become more open and communicative. They make better eye contact and shrink their bubbles of personal space. So, if you’re hoping to get cozy, romantic, and have a meaningful conversation this Valentine’s Day, flowers are the way to go! Read on to see some of our top picks (that you’ll love looking at, too) for all the special guys in our clients’ lives.
Top 5 Green Gifts for Your Guy on Valentine’s
Opulent Orchids
1. Orchids
Orchids are one of the most exotic-looking flowers available. Their beauty creates a calm atmosphere — even in the most hectic of offices. Plus, they require minimal care, making them perfect for someone with a busy schedule. For a man, we especially love the Opulent Orchids planter, which features all-white Phalaenopsis orchids in a natural bamboo container.
Peaceful Zen Garden
2. Succulents
Succulents are another no-fuss choice because they’re desert natives and don’t like to be watered too often. Our Peaceful Zen Garden features a variety of succulents arranged in a contemporary design with white stones and bamboo accents. It’s the perfect size for an office or for enjoying at home. Just make sure the succulents receive plenty of sunlight.
Money Tree
3. Green Plants
Leafy green plants are another great choice for a guy’s Valentine gift. They’ll help keep the air clean, while also creating a calm atmosphere. We especially love money trees, as they’re believed to bring good luck and fortune. This one is potted in a sleek, modern container for a contemporary look that your guy will surely love.
Paradise Found
4. Strong Design
Floral arrangements are great for men, too! When selecting one, we recommend looking for a design that features strong lines. We especially love the Paradise Found arrangement because it has sleek lines, and some of the most exotic birds of paradise flowers create truly stunning movement.
Yellow Maria
5. Rustic Vibes
When choosing a floral arrangement for a man, it’s also best to avoid colors that might be considered too feminine, such as pastels and delicate shades of pink. We recommend sticking with monochrome palettes or bouquets featuring primary colors, like our Yellow Maria which highlights yellow lilies, green bells of Ireland, and blue delphinium. It’s the perfect choice for a guy who loves to spend time in nature.
Where to Shop When You’re Going with Flowers for Your Man on Valentine’s
When ordering flowers, we always recommend ordering from a reputable local flower shop. When you order from a nation-wide flower delivery company, you risk getting a less than satisfactory product and unpleasant surprises, like unexpected fees, along the way. When you order local, you’ll always speak to a florist located at the shop you’re ordering from, which means we’ll know exactly which flowers we have in stock and which are the freshest and most beautiful that is available in our area to recommend to you. You’ll receive a high-quality product and exceptional customer service every time you order locally. Plus, you’ll be supporting our local economy!
If you’re not sure which flowers or what type of plant is right for your beau, we welcome you to contact a florist at Campbell’s Flowers. We’ll work with you to help you select the perfect floral arrangement or an easy-to-care-for plant that will make your man feel like an expert botanist. Whether you order online, over the phone, or in person, we’re here to help you have a magical Valentine’s Day with your sweetheart!
