Flowers are a timeless token of love and affection, and they make a great gift for a loved one. According to Forbes, Americans spend $5.9 billion on flowers per year. The florist industry is so popular that New York City’s flower district has been popular among shoppers since its founding in the 1890s. Here are a few tips for buying the best flowers to give to a loved one.
Visit Several Stores
Nowadays it’s easy to find flowers at supermarkets. These flowers are convenient to buy while out shopping. Wholesale florist boutiques often sell more varieties of flowers than supermarkets do, and some boutiques even have specialties, like tropical flowers.
Call Ahead
Does your loved one have a favorite flower? Call your local florist to ask them if they have that flower available. You can also chat with the florist and work together on a memorable gift.
Create Your Own Bouquet
If no one store sells the bouquet you have in mind for your loved one, then you can create your own using flowers from a local florist. Combine the roses they offer with their fresh baby’s breath to create something truly unique.
The best gifts are the ones that take thought and effort. Follow these tips, and your special someone is sure to feel loved.
