You absolutely can't go wrong by deciding to give the special girl in your life Valentine's Day flowers. If you're thinking that flowers are played out and won't be appreciated, just look at the past 300 years and you'll see flowers are the most widely gifted Valentines Day Gift ever. Here where I live in Tucson, flowers are loved, but hard to find. It's desert after all, and the only flowers we have here are cactus flowers and maybe a few scraggly wildflowers that don't bloom very often. The internet is definitely the best place to choose from hundreds of beautiful bouquets and arrangements, from roses to lillies to orchids and more.
If you consider the history of Valentine's Day, you'll find some popular alternatives to flowers, but nothing you haven't thought of...
I'll give you zero guesses as to what's the most popular Valentines Day flower. Roses, of course! I've heard that in other countries, other flowers are the top choice for Feb 14th, but here in the USA roses are king, especially pink and red ones. Who can argue with 300 years of tradition in gifting flowers? Well, actually you don't have to be totally in line with tradition - you can easily pick different color roses, like fire and ice, white, yellow, or even choose other flowers like orchids, lillies, tuberoses, alstromeria (I don't know what they are but I like the name), etc. If you live in Tucson, flowers here are limited to a few 1 day bloomers that live on cactii, but online there are gazillions of choices, and beautiful ones, too.
Tucson flowers are for the desert, where they belong. Check the link below for some great flower deals.
If you're fixated on pink or red for your flower colors, you may not be able to choose from every kind of flower I've talked about, although in recent years, just like ice cream and everything else, scientists are out there making every kind of flavor and color and variation imaginable. You may think your woman's favorite colors are best, or maybe you should just go with what's popular. I can't say what's best, just do what your heart (no pun intended) tells you to do. It is the thought that counts, so put just a little thought into this one and you'll come out a winner.
Want to know the best way to figure out what kind of flowers your significant other will like? Take her to a flower shop NOW and see what she likes and doesn't like. That way, you'll know directly what she's in to. Tell her they're for a co-worker who's sick or a co-worker whose grandmother just passed. You'll win bonus points for showing her your compassion too!
A couple of final things to consider. Does your woman like big huge displays of flowers, or is she more simple? Flowers can come in various displays, such as mugs, vases, baskets, etc. If you have kids around the house, maybe a glass vase isn't a good idea. If your woman has her own special vase or glass holder for flowers, maybe she'll be happier putting it in her own holder, not the one that comes with the flowers. Who knows? Just make sure you find out before the time comes so you get her the best flower types, colors, and holders and displays you can. Valentine's Day is about love and romance, not, "uh... thanks...i guess...for the flowers...uh, honey", while she's rolling her eyes at you.
