Love is in the air, and the most romantic day of the year is just around the corner. If you’re still trying to decide what to get your boyfriend or husband for Valentine’s Day, you don’t have to look any further than our local flower shop. At Port Charlotte Florist, serving North Port, Englewood, Punta Gorda, and of course Port Charlotte, we have a wide variety of great Valentine’s gifts for men, including flowers, available at our local shop.
Why Flowers Really Are an Excellent Choice for Men, According to Science
Flowers might not be the first that comes to your mind when thinking about what to get your guy for Valentine’s Day, but according to science, they’re actually a great option. Studies have shown that flowers actually have the power to improve a man’s intimacy. Men who receive flowers tend to become more open and communicative. They make better eye contact and stand closer to the people around them. If you’re hoping to spend an extra-special Valentine’s Day with your significant other, we (and science) suggest giving your man flowers.
Our Top Picks in Valentine’s Gifts for Guys
1. Red Roses
Roses are an excellent choice for both men and women. Red roses symbolize romantic love, which makes them the perfect choice for Valentine’s Day. Send him a no-frills bouquet, like our Regal Red Roses design, that makes the most of the rose’s natural beauty.
2. Tropical Flowers
Tropical flowers like birds of paradise, protea, ginger, anthurium, and orchids are a wonderful choice for men. They bloom in fiery colors and have unusual shapes and textures that work really well in the types of contemporary designs men tend to prefer. Our Tropical Punch bouquet features tangerine birds of paradise with exotic foliage and a selection of additional blooms.
3. Succulents
If your guy’s busy and lacking free time, then a no-fuss gift is a must. Succulents are attractive and require very little care. Our most popular Succulent Garden includes a variety of plants with a stoic accent stone in an attractive ceramic pot — all petite enough to fit on his desktop.
4. Orchids
Orchids are stately, beautiful, alluring, and they’re a perfect gift for a man. For male recipients, our top choice is a live Phalaenopsis orchid plant, which has pure-white blooms and will flower every winter, prompting him to think of you.
5. Bromeliads
These strange beauties are members of the pineapple family, and they have the spiky leaves and blooms to prove it. In bloom, they’re topped with vibrant colors like orange, yellow, red, and magenta. This potted Bromeliad will be a perfect addition to a home or office.
How to Choose a Floral Arrangement for Your Main Man
Picking out a floral arrangement for a man can seem overwhelming at first, but you’ll quickly see that there are actually plenty of appropriate options to choose from. Unless you know your guy loves them, we recommend passing up the pink and pastel flowers in favor of more saturated colors. Look for jewel tones, primary colors, citrus colors, and monochromatic palettes. Men also tend to prefer contemporary looks. Our for arrangements with compact designs and strong, clean lines.
