Why You Should Send Flowers

Some women and most men see flowers as wasteful gifts: she prefers him to splurge on tangible goods that can be paraded around; and he prefers to impress with tangible goods that she can parade around.

After all, fresh flowers wither in a matter of days, don't they? True, but honestly, you are still better off with flowers.

Here are several reasons why:

• Flowers are an intelligent woman's real best friend.
  Intelligent women would rather have roses on their tables than diamonds on their necks. A sole stalk, according to several scientific findings, is able create passion, to soothe, to cheer, to beautify...with its very presence. Like a true friend, flowers improve moods and create intimateness. A diamond, in all of its indestructible nature, can only look pretty perched on a slender finger. There is a reason why we do not have bimbos for best friends.

• Flowers are easier on the wallet
  Flowers, unlike diamonds and designer goods, are easier on the wallet.
  Honestly, for much fewer hundreds of dollars, flowers can produce the same (perhaps more positive) reaction for the receiver. Everyone remembers the first time s/he receives flowers.

• Flowers do more than what you paid it for.
  Giving flowers not only show that you love him/her; it shows that you have the initiative to dedicate effort and time in choosing a perfect bouquet.

• You can never go wrong with flowers.
  But you can go wrong with chocolates (“are you trying to get me fatter than I am?”), cut /colour/clarity/ carat weight of diamonds (“this is not Tiffany's Lucida diamond ring!”), and designer goods (“this is Pucci not Gucci!”).

• Flowers save time.
  Now, you can purchase a bouquet and have it delivered without having to step out of your house – at an e-florist. Simply enter your budget.

• Flowers speak the language of love more fluent than anything else.
  Flowers say more than just “I love you”. It says “I respect you”, “I am willing to shed all masculine ego to carry these flowers to you”, “I am thinking of you even when you are not around”, “You are beautiful”, “You are special”, “You are important”…

• Flowers are friendlier to the environment than diamonds.
