Valentines Day Gifts can be anything from flowers to potted plants to gift baskets!
The favorite flower of Venus, the roman Goddess of Love (Cupid's Mother) was the red rose. The color red stands for strong feelings or passion and this is why a red rose is known as the flower of love, it has become the most popular for valentines day gifts. The most popular colors of flowers for Valentines Day gifts are red, white, and pink (which is a combination of the latter two). Red symbolizes passion, while white symbolizes purity. Pink is generally the most appropriate color for young lovers - a meeting point between the red and white roses.
Giving flowers on Valentine's Day became more popular in the 17th century. Roses have long been associated with love, and today they are considered synonymous with Valentines Day gifts. Traditionally, long-stemmed red roses are given on Valentine's Day along with chocolates. Chocolate has been long associated with sensuality and indulgence, both of which are deeply entrenched in Valentine's Day celebrations.
If you are giving roses to a friend or family member, red roses may not be the perfect gift. Try giving them yellow, peach, white, or a mixture of all of the colors.
