Tough guys know their flowers.
Men and flower power? Might be an unlikely combo, but if you just take a trip to your friendly flower shop in the city, you’d be amazed at the guys who certainly know their flower delivery. We’re talking macho-looking guys, biceps and strong manly hands and fierce gaze which all disappear in an instant the moment they guide you on a tour to flower shops, pointing and naming this and that seemingly obscure flower.
Yes, naming flowers to send. And they really know what they’re talking about. Indeed, there is something charming when guys talk words like “first inning” or “stock portfolio” or “dialectical materialism”. But when they suddenly go rattling off words like carnations, gardenia, mums, phlox, nasturtiums, freesia, and lots of other flowers you can send to loved ones, now that’s something! And yeah, it can be a little intimidating, but definitely impressive.
Men and flowers. Nothing wrong with getting in touch with your femininity. And it seems this is the trend in most flower shop delivery nowadays: the flower delivery guys who knock at your doorstep are getting more handsome than ever, as if to complete the whole package.
And it makes sense. After all, the retail business is built around the whole concept of good image. Restaurant, hotels, banks, malls, and many other establishments depend on the fortunately good-looking people of this world to endorse and deploy their products. Nothing surprising anymore about seeing godly flawless waiters with the most disarming smile serving you your risotto and glass of champagne. And a flower delivery is no exception of course.
Your loved one wakes up in the morning to the sound of the doorbell, and opens the door to find the most handsome flower delivery there, brought by an equally gorgeous courier. It’s a two deal in one. How sweet. It’s almost enough to make you, the sender of the flowers a little jealous and insecure and wish you sent the flowers yourself. But nothing to worry about since flower delivery guys know they’re there just to work, they’re just there to send flowers and nothing more. So fret not, your gift delivery is in good hands.
If there’s anything to be intimidated about, it’s the fact that you still don’t know your flowers. Sure you know your roses and sunflowers, and orchids, but they’re not just the only flowers to send in the world. Flip through a good colored-photo book about flowers. Take a trip to your flower shop, and get to know some real flowers. You’ll be amazed at what else you didn’t know about the rich world of flowers and the art of flower delivery.
For all the men out there, nothing to be shy about sending flowers to your loved ones wherever you are may be. But don’t just send flowers like you’re sending a stuffed teddy either. The extra effort in thinking just what flowers to send your mom, or wife, or girlfriend or sister, or even your boss or brother, makes all the difference.
Again, tough guys know their flowers.

Mother’s Day has been with us for centuries, ever since the ancient Greeks held annual celebrations in honour of Rhea, mother of the gods. Now it has become one of the most favourite days of the year. Celebrating Mother’s Day has also become intertwined with thoughts of cards, candy, and of course, flowers. These are probably the most popular gift ideas for Mother’s Day. But there are also several other ways to spoil your mother; to make her feel special and loved and appreciated. Let me tell you about some of them.
First of all, Mother’s Day is not so much about showering your mom with gifts as it is showering her with love. So it doesn’t matter much you spent on the gifts – as long as your mom feels your love and affection that comes with every item you give her, that’s the most important thing.
If I may do so, let me suggest starting this special day by giving her a surprise treat, even before she gets out of bed! Wake up early in the morning and cook up a delicious breakfast just for her. All the things that she loves to eat and drink early in the morning, whether it is toast, eggs, bacon, tea, coffee, milk, or fruit juices. Load it up on a tray and deliver it straight to her for a nice breakfast in bed. There’s not a single mom in the world who wouldn’t be thrilled to be brought breakfast in bed by her child, whether 4 or 40 years old!
Do be careful with the noise you’re making in the kitchen, though. I’ve heard that one of the rare luxuries for moms today is to be able to sleep-in late, especially during a Sunday morning, so you have to time it just right. You don’t want to deliver breakfast to an irritable mom in bed, do you? If you’re afraid of messing up in the kitchen, you can always order a special gift basket loaded with goodies that your mom will surely love, from cheese to chocolates and everything in between. And oh, regarding the kitchen, don’t even think of letting her do the dishes!
And while we’re talking about Mother’s Day surprises, why not leave a fresh bouquet of flowers on her bedside table, for her to look at and greet her with a lovely burst of colour when she wakes up? It beats just going up to her and handing her a bunch of flowers, that’s for sure. Of course, it wouldn’t be right without a card. And when it comes to cards, a handmade card always means more than something you just bought from a store. So go out and grab some art supplies, and let your creativity – and hopefully, your talent – flow.
Now that we’ve started her day right, it’s time to turn it up a notch or two. Take your mother out for some pampering. It can be a relaxing picnic, a hearty lunch, or even a gorgeous dinner at her favourite restaurant. Better yet, take her to dinner somewhere that she’s always been dreaming of going to. It’s going to be a part of her special memories, you can be sure of that. But don’t stop there. Treat her to a relaxing massage or a day at the spa. There are lots of holistic treatments like shiatsu, reiki, reflexology and aromatherapy to make your mom feel on top of the world. Again, if you don’t have the budget to splurge on these, worry not. You can always get a pack of aromatherapy oils for her, plus several other pampering kits that will make your mom feel like a queen.
