Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, which means it’s time to start looking for the perfect gift for your loved one!
It’s common knowledge that women compare gifts with their friends, family, and colleagues.
Sometimes, Valentine’s Day becomes a friendly competition to see who gets the best bouquet delivered to the office!
So why not come up with a new way to surprise your significant other…and all of her associates!
Alternative gifts
From rose red typewriters (perfect for writing secret love notes to one and other) to wearable flowers and champagne encased in a customizable bottle, there are plenty of alternative Valentine’s gifts on the market today – all of which are guaranteed to make you stand out from the crowd.
Roses are red…
We all know how the standard Valentine’s Day saying goes ‘roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are you…’
but why not opt for an unusual Valentine’s Day bouquet this year?
Step away from the traditional flower arrangement and choose a uniquely tropical display.
Bali Hai from SerenataFlowers.com – an exotic orchid display with a hint of tropical romance – is an ideal gift for that special someone wishing to stand out from the crowd. It even comes in its very own vase!
Alternatively, opt for a mini orchid. This is a great gift to send to your loved one’s office.
Orchids (if taken care of) will last a great deal longer than a standard bouquet, boasting a compact and stylish gift that will add a touch of oriental class to even the smallest of spaces.
