4 Reasons to Buy Your Man Flowers

Poor guys … I think they often feel that they do a lot of the giving, and not much receiving. I know a lot of women that feel the same way, and coincidentally the two are linked! I'll get into that a little later -- but flowers for men are gaining ground, just as moisturizers for men and facials for men are. They're realizing that the gals have been keeping all these good things to themselves for too long! They're not so used to the concept that they don't need an excuse, though. Here are four great reasons to share the love and buy your man some fresh flowers!

1. His birthday

Sure, he'll probably want something manly, like a football or a racing car for his actual birthday gift. But why not enlist the help of your florist and deliver it along with a bunch of flowers? This can be a great way to ease a guy into the idea of getting flowers as a special sort of thank-you.

2. A pick-me-up at work

Stick to more conservative, manly sorts of flowers for work. You don't want other people's preconceptions to make life hard for him eight hours a day, after all. Your florist can recommend plenty of hardy, masculine plants with flower accents that you can send to help brighten his day at the office.

3. After your honeymoon

Yes, there is a limited window of opportunity for this one! But after a honeymoon is the perfect time to set a gorgeous, fresh flower, gift-giving trend. If you honeymooned in the tropics, choose big, bright luscious flowers. If you had a city honeymoon, choose something a little more trimmed and refined, to bring the spirit of the times back.

4. Whenever you want flowers!

If you've been tapping your mental fingers, counting the days since he last bought you home a beautiful bouquet of roses or had the flower delivery service send you a surprise at work, there is an almost sure-fire way to get yourself in floral heaven again. Buy him some flowers! It's guaranteed to jog his memory. Remember the saying, "What goes around, comes around"? It is never more true than when you're in a romantic relationship with someone and you're busy spreading the fresh-flower love.
