How to Make Valentine’s Day Extra Special with Flowers and Gifts

Valentine’s Day comes once a year, and the goal is always to make the day’s celebrations more special than the previous years.

If you’ve been thinking about how to make Valentine’s Day extra special for your significant other, you’ll need to get creative and do something different from just sending flowers.

This post shares amazing ideas that can help you make Valentine’s Day extra special using flowers and gifts, and give your partner a memorable Valentine’s Day experience.

Creative Ideas for Celebrating Valentine’s Day with Flowers and Gifts

1. Send Flowers and Gifts in a Box

Gift boxes always make for perfect surprises. Sending your partner a gift box with flowers and gifts inside is one way to pull off a Valentine’s Day surprise, especially if you always gave them flowers directly before.

Choose gifts that your partner will love, such as a scented candle, chocolate, teddy bears, or their favourite book. Then, add a Valentine’s Day flower bouquet to the gift and wrap it in a box, and watch their eyes light up as they unbox it.

2. Make a Bouquet from Chocolate

If your partner loves chocolate, sending them a bouquet made from several chocolates is a special way to celebrate Valentine’s Day with them. You can still add traditional flowers or stick to chocolate bars and sweets arranged creatively to form a bouquet, or at least in a love shape.

3. Send a Gift Basket with Flowers and Chocolate

Put a Valentine’s Day gift basket together for your lover, containing gifts they like, beautiful flowers, and some chocolate. A gift basket containing things your partner likes is a very thoughtful gift, and the flowers and chocolate are the classic representations of love for Valentine’s Day.

4. Send Flowers to Unexpected Places

If you’re used to taking flowers home with you or bringing flowers to dinner, do things differently by sending flowers to somewhere they’ll be on Valentine’s Day.

You could get flowers delivered to their office, sneak them into their car, or have flowers waiting at their favourite café, where they’ll be going to get coffee, or the restaurant where they’ll grab lunch. They’ll definitely be super excited to receive such a surprise.

5. Pair Flowers with Cake or Wine

Instead of giving your partner just flowers on Valentine’s Day, accompany the flowers with wine or cake (or both), and they’re sure to love it. Get a bottle of their favourite wine, bake a heart-shaped cake, and then add flowers, and you’ll be giving your partner an experience that’s thrice the excitement and the pleasure.

6. Create a Surprise Flower Trail

Whether you’re having dinner at home or a romantic dinner at your favourite restaurant, scattering petals on the floor, leading them to the destination, is a way to make Valentine’s Day super romantic and special.

For home, start the trail of petals at the door until they reach the bedroom, bathroom, or dining table where your surprise is waiting. For a private dinner, begin the trail from the entrance to your private dining area until they reach their seat. Have a bunch of flowers and other surprises waiting for them at the end of the trail to elevate the surprise.

7. Write a Traditional Love Letter by Hand

Instead of the regular love notes that accompany Valentine’s Day flowers, go the extra mile by adding a handwritten letter to the flower bouquet. Skip the quick texts and short scribbles and write a detailed, personal love letter expressing your feelings to your partner and letting them know how much they mean to you. Share some memories, compliment them, and share your heartfelt desires.

Flowers are romantic, but nothing beats a handwritten love letter accompanied by Valentine’s Day flowers.

Choose the Right Valentine’s Day Flowers and Gifts

Valentine’s Day flowers never go out of style. They are classic and romantic, and come in different names and colours. Some of the best Valentine’s Day flowers include:

Roses: Red roses to represent your love and passion for your partner, and pink roses for dear friends and new relationships, to communicate admiration.

Lilies: Representing devotion to your partner and the strength of your love.

Tulips: White tulips represent the purest of love and a commitment to your partner, and red tulips represent bold passion and affection.

Orchids: Symbolise the strength of your love, but are mostly just chosen for their beauty.

Daisies: Communicate the purity of love and affection, and your enduring feelings for your partner.

Some of the perfect gifts to go with a Valentine’s Day bouquet include:

• Candles

• Jewelry

• Perfumes

• Handwritten letters

• Gift basket

• Love Journal

• Handmade gifts.

With these ideas, every Valentine’s Day can be extra special for you and your loved ones. But remember, it all starts with the perfect flowers.
