Spread the Love - We All Need It!

Valentine’s Day is often seen as a day for couples, but it’s really a perfect chance to show love to everyone in your life. You're single? Not a problem. Roses are classic, but this holiday is also about fun and sharing kindness with family, friends, and even coworkers. Remember those cute little Valentine’s Day cards you used to give when you were a kid? Now, a small flower arrangement, bouquet, or a candy basket can brighten someone’s day even more.

Or how about a random act of kindness? Perhaps you know an elder who's housebound (especially in this winter weather!) Just hand a single rose or carnation to someone who looks like they need it.

Flowers themselves are the language of love.

Why Valentine’s Day is for Everyone

Oh sure! We do classic roses like like the pros we are and Valentine’s Day is often linked to romantic love, but love takes many forms. It’s a day to appreciate the people who make life better, whether they are family, friends, or colleagues. Showing love doesn’t have to be grand or expensive. Small gestures can have a big impact.

Think about your daughter, your grandkids, your best friend, or even the person who sits next to you at work. Giving flowers or a candy basket can make them feel appreciated and remembered. It’s a simple way to say, “You matter to me.”

Making Valentine’s Day Fun and Lighthearted

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be serious or stressful. It’s a chance to have fun and spread happiness. Here are some ways to keep the holiday lighthearted:

• Send a funny or cute note with your flowers or candy: A little humor goes a long way. We have the flowers and candy - you have the giggles!

• Host a small Valentine’s Day gathering: Invite friends or family for a casual get-together with treats and flowers. You can attend our workshop on February 12 when we make a Valentine's/Galentine's Day flower arrangement and a charcuterie board! See our workshop schedule and registration on our website.

• Surprise you Valentine at the restaurant: Valentine's Day is on a Saturday this year. Having dinner out? Have flowers delivered to the restaurant to arrive before your reservations. Nice touch!

  
  

These ideas help keep the spirit of Valentine’s Day joyful and inclusive.

Why Showing Love Matters More Than Ever

The world can feel overwhelming and fast-paced. Taking a moment to show love and kindness helps build stronger connections and lifts everyone’s spirits. Valentine’s Day is a perfect reminder to slow down and appreciate the people around us.
