Why You Should Definitely Get Him Flowers for Valentine’s Day, According to Science
Flowers might seem like a slightly strange gift option for a man, but they’re actually quite smart. Studies have shown that men who receive flowers become more open and communicative, in addition to standing closer to those around them and making stronger eye contact — all elements that are necessary for cultivating an intimate relationship. If you’re hoping to spend a romantic day with your significant other, you might want to take science’s word for it and send him flowers.

Dish gardens and terrariums are popular choices for men who might not fully appreciate a floral bouquet. These little wonders are like miniature gardens for inside the home or office.

Sunflowers are a perfect choice for a man who knows how to appreciate natural beauty. These large, sunny blooms bring a rustic appeal to any bouquet lucky enough to feature them.

How to Choose the Perfect Floral Gift for Your Guy
At first, shopping for flowers for a man can seem like a scary task, but you’ll find out quickly it’s actually pretty easy because there are so many designs to choose from. We recommend looking for more masculine floral arrangements by avoiding those that have pastel or feminine color palettes. It’s best to go for designs that feature strong, vibrant colors like jewel tones, primaries, and even monochromatic color palettes.
If you’re not sure what sort of floral gift to get for your guy this Valentine’s Day, don’t worry! Our experts at Walter Knoll Florist are happy to help. Whether you order online, in person, or over the phone, we’ll provide you with professional advice and personalized recommendations to help you select the perfect floral arrangement or plant for your husband or boyfriend on Valentine’s Day!
