There are many options when it comes to choosing a gift for a woman, but the list shrinks significantly when you think about a gift for a man. And when you think about what the perfect gift for the man of your life should be, it is unlikely that fresh flowers come to your mind. But in vain! It's time to expand your imagination and show courage in expressing your love, because men, like women, want to know that they are loved.
It is common knowledge that most women around the world love to receive flowers, whatever the occasion, and even more so - just like that. The bouquet of fresh flowers received as a gift not only fills any day with special light, but is also a sign of respect, friendship, devotion, gratitude, love ... the list of feelings can be endless! Moreover, flowers can speak when any words may seem insignificant.
But in the centuries-old tradition of giving flowers, women have always predominated as the recipient. Indeed, in those harsh centuries of human history, men were clearly not up to flowers, so no one even allowed the thought that men might also like to receive flowers. Fortunately, times have changed. Every year in the world more and more men receive flowers from their loved ones, business partners and their family members. Fresh flowers are becoming an increasingly popular gift option for the stronger sex. Sending a bouquet of flowers in our time has become not only a great romantic gesture, but also just a wonderful way to show someone how important this person is to you, be it a birthday, some other holiday, or just a spontaneous outburst of love.
The world realized that flowers are just a bright way to give your love, to express your emotions. And, therefore, there is no reason why a bouquet can be exclusively for a woman. Having received a bouquet of correctly selected flowers and decorative greenery, a man of importance in your life will not only receive several beautiful flowers, but will also be glad that you value him highly enough to give him a bouquet, informing about your attitude towards him in this charming look.
Although the motivating reasons why we choose a bouquet for a man are not much different from those that they themselves are guided by when choosing them for women, nevertheless, when choosing flowers or living plants for men, a few things should be remembered:
- Men prefer stronger shapes, bolder colors, darker shades, so stay away from pastels.
- tropical flowers and plants are good choices for real guys;
- potted plants are a great choice as they add life to any home or office and are a constant reminder of your feelings.

Today, the etiquette of giving flowers as a gift only to women is just one gender difference in our culture that seems to be quickly evaporating. If you think soberly, there is nothing masculine or feminine in the ability to recognize, feel and enjoy the beauty and aromas of fresh flowers. Fresh flowers are a new and very subtle communication tool of the XXI century. Statistics show that nowadays more and more people in the world are aware of this fact, which means that women and men are more likely to buy flowers as a gift for men - friends, spouses, brothers, sons and fathers. And the world from this only becomes brighter and kinder!
