Find A Florist
Valentine 101 means flowers
Whether you utilize a booking service like FTD or look up a local florist in the yellow pages you can’t go wrong with this must have in your valentine bag of tricks. Nobody said you have to buy the most expensive item they have. Take it from this valentine pro that any arrangement of flowers will do fine. Just try and include some of their favorite flowers. Want to score brownie points? Send it to their place of work so they make all the other girls jealous. (Trust me, this works!) One thing to keep in mind is the color. Red means love, yellow means friendship. And remember, you’re in the driver’s seat. With all the competition out there before you sign on the dotted line ask if they will throw in anything else for free or give you a discount on a second dozen. Doesn't hurt to ask!
