Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching; that holiday when couples everywhere enjoy demonstrating their love and affection for each other through small gifts. One of the most classic signs of love on this day is a bouquet of red roses. These flowers have long been associated with romance and adoration, making them a logical and popular choice for many couples. If you want to step outside the box and try something new though, we have three gifts at Central Square Florist that we recommend giving to a Valentine when the standard red rose just is not the right fit.

Go cute

Many people love receiving cute gifts as a token of affection. Small stuffed animals and balloons can be wonderful for this reason. There are plenty of different styles of balloons that will fit well for Valentine’s Day, but small heart-shaped balloons can be particularly perfect. Look for ones expressing love and well wishes for the holiday. When these balloons can be paired with cute stuffed animals and perhaps some chocolate, a delightful gift will result.

Bring the colors of Valentine’s Day with different flowers

Valentine’s Day falls in the middle of winter, which for much of the country means chills. Brightening up the indoors with some gorgeous flowers can be a wonderful way to lighten everyone’s mood and put a smile on the face of anyone who sees them. Look for elegant flowers, such as pink Stargazer lilies. These flowers offer lovely colors that fit well with the holiday and serve as a great symbol of affection.

Present beauty in a unique way

Branch away from traditional flowers and colors and go for something different yet beautiful. Stunning white orchids will offer a presentation that just about anyone will adore. When these lovely white flowers are paired with some tiny pink blossoms and placed in a classy glass vase, this arrangement will light up anyone’s face, and any room. This will be a wonderful gift for that special someone this February 14.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, which means that now is the time to start planning the right gift for that special someone. Although red roses make a wonderful gift for many people, plenty of couples prefer to step outside of the mold of tradition. Those interested in trying something new should give one of the above gift ideas a try and bring a smile to the face of that special someone.
