The present-day market offers a wide variety of options when it comes to choosing flowers for gifts. The availability of a wide variety of flowers including the most popular types such as roses, tulips, lilies, and daisies; as well as less common flowers like sunflowers, pansies, and hydrangeas, make it possible for every recipient to find a suitable flower gift. Furthermore, when considering a wide variety of fresh flowers for gifts, the customer should consider the different meanings that each symbolizes in their life.

Studies conducted by Dr. Steven Hendlin shed light on the emotional responses that different types of flowers convey. According to this research, people tend to give gifts that evoke positive emotions or feelings when given during special occasions. An example of this is the Valentine’s Day. Flowers can play a very meaningful role during this special day. Results of a statistical study based upon 394 completed questionnaires showed that the perceived monetary value of flowers, i.e. the perceived monetary value of a gift, was the most significant factor for the decision of whether or not to purchase fresh flowers as gifts for loved ones.

Similarly, a person’s enjoyment or happiness is an important factor for purchasing fresh flowers for gifts on a personal basis. In addition, a person’s age, gender, profession, daily routine, and level of attachment to the recipient are other factors that influence the decision to offer flowers. A survey study conducted in Canada revealed that flowers, when presented as a bouquet, are perceived as more romantic than when presented as a vase of flowers. Also, when given on an individual basis, members of a couple tend to give the same gift, irrespective of their relationship to the recipient. Thus, it is recommended that one chooses the best flowers for gifts based upon the recipients’ lifestyles and reputations.

The types of flowers that people choose for gifting vary with situations. For instance, flowers are commonly used as a sign of appreciation during weddings. In addition, a bouquet of roses represents the union of two lovers. Similarly, wedding flowers represent the beginning of a new marital relationship.

Red roses are considered to be the best flowers for gifts because of their beauty and popularity. However, a majority of men do not purchase red roses as presents, as they are considered to be somewhat feminine. A man may purchase yellow roses, which are traditionally associated with friendship.

A multinomial logistic regression analysis is used to determine the value of a given selection of floral gifts on a basis of monetary value and perceived attractiveness. The results are displayed in a spreadsheet. It can be seen that a person’s personality, as indexed by numerical variables, is highly correlated with his/her ability to receive and give gifts. Specifically, the results show that men who are generous and considerate are more likely to give floral gifts than others. Interestingly, the factor of personality is positively correlated with the level of financial investment needed to purchase gifts for someone, indicating that generosity can be a good indicator of financial investment in a relationship.

The next question, however, is “How many fresh flowers should I buy?” The answer to this question can be determined using a spreadsheet. Most experts recommend that the buyer should buy at least 10 flowers per bouquet. This number is based on the fact that flowers do not expire. If someone buys an expensive gift and the recipient does not want it anymore, then it will no longer be fresh when it reaches the recipient.

To conclude, flowers for gifts are not only for occasions when you have no other choice but to present something to your loved ones. Flowers can also be used as an everyday treat when you know they will be appreciated. Flowers are available in different types, colors, designs and prices to suit any budget.
