3 Reasons to Send Valentine's Flowers to Your Significant Other's Workplace

Valentine's Day is on a Saturday this year, which means it will be easier than ever to share a romantic evening with your sweetheart. However, just because the holiday falls on a weekend doesn't mean you shouldn't take every opportunity to surprise your beloved with a lovely romantic gesture, like sending a Valentine's Day bouquet. In fact, having a flower arrangement hand-delivered to their office the day before is an amazing way to start the romantic weekend earlier than planned, and they'll never forget the way it makes him/her feel. Take a look at these three reasons you should send your love a Valentine's Day bouquet while at their office on Friday:

1. He/She Won't Be Expecting It

The surprise factor is one of the best parts about sending your sweetie a beautiful flower arrangement a day early. Even if the two of you have planned your entire Saturday out from morning until night, this is one part of the holiday he/she won't be planning for, which is a lovely way to take him/her off guard. Unexpected gestures are a great way to show love in any relationship because they're thoughtful, personal and heartfelt. Plus, they're the parts of a relationship that each person will remember the most down the road.

2. They'll Make Him/Her Feel Special

Sending flowers to you sweetheart while at their office is more than just an unexpected gesture - it's a great way to make him/her feel special in front of his/her co-workers. After receiving a bouquet, he/she and the gift will get some attention from the other people in his/her office, making him/her feel even more treasured and beautiful.

3.They'll Know They're Loved

Giving flowers has traditionally been used to show someone love and care, even in platonic or familial relationships. In a romantic relationship, though, flowers can be a great way to say "I love you" to your partner from afar. Sending your significant other, a Valentine's arrangement will not only make him/her feel special - he'll/she'll feel very loved as well.

What Kind of Flowers to Send

If you aren't sure what kind of flowers to include in a Valentine's Day arrangement, you may want to consider starting with roses or carnations. Red and pink roses are known for symbolizing love and romance, while red carnations denote deep love and affection. Teleflora's Sweet Embrace and Swirls of Love bouquets both have roses and carnations among other lovely flowers, making them perfect Valentine's Day arrangements.

If you'd rather send something a little more unique, consider what her favorite flowers are or try to recall any flower-related experiences you shared as a couple. For instance, you may have gone to a tulip festival one spring or particularly enjoyed looking at lilies while visiting a botanic garden. Orchids are a unique and beautiful way to celebrate the holiday, and they too symbolize love along with beauty and strength. Arrangements like Teleflora's Imperial Purple Orchid or Opulent Orchids are stunning, unique and will even last a bit longer than a traditional bouquet.;

Tips for Sending a Bouquet to His/Her Workplace

If you are planning on sending flowers to your beloved's office, there are a few guidelines you should keep in mind. For one, it's a good idea to order the flowers ahead of time around Valentine's Day because it's one of the busiest times of year for florists. Also, make sure you're choosing a delivery service that hand-delivers bouquets in vases, rather than in boxes (Who wants to arrange a bouquet themselves?). Teleflora will allow you to choose a florist to order from and will hand-deliver the flowers for you, making the whole process easy.

Valentine's Day Present Ideas for a Long-Distance Love

Valentine's Day is the ultimate holiday for couples who want to celebrate their love for each other, but for some pairs, it's not always possible to observe the holiday together. However, couples in long-distance relationships can still show love and affection for each other without being in the same state.

One perfect way to celebrate the holiday is to have a beautiful Valentine-themed bouquet delivered! Pick out one of Teleflora's four arrangements from the Get a Room sweepstakes for a chance to win $25,000, and the arrangement will be hand-delivered to their office or home. Each bouquet is a unique mix of romantic roses, carnations and more, and the best part is that they come in keepsake vases your partner can hang onto forever!

Teleflora's Swirls of Love Bouquet

Along with sending a bouquet, consider putting together a Valentine's Day package to send to your sweetheart, wherever they may be. Here are a few items you can include in a romantic gift box:

A Handwritten Love Note

The more handmade items you include in a gift package the better, because your partner will love knowing you took the time to make something yourself. For that reason, make a card instead of buying one this year, and include a heartfelt handwritten message. Don't be afraid to get sappy - the occasion definitely calls for it! If you aren't particularly artistic, some office supply and drug stores have photo shops that can turn your favorite photos and designs into a unique card.

A Framed Photo
Pick up a pretty frame (or better yet paint one yourself), and fill it with a cherished picture of the two of you. If you can't decide which photo to send, have a few printed, put one in the frame, and send the rest in an envelope so your partner can decide which one to use and what to do with the others.

A Homemade Treat
Nothing says Valentine's Day quite like some sweet treats. Hershey's kisses are appropriate for the holiday, and candy hearts are a beloved classic. However, to make the gift even more special, spend some time making cookies, fudge or another treat yourself. As long as it's nonperishable and in an airtight container, your dessert should be able to make the trip.

Jewelry
Like flowers, jewelry is a very traditional Valentine's Day gift, but yours can be as nontraditional as you want. Find a cool watch that will remind your partner of you every time they wear it. Or, see if you can find simple rings or bracelets that will look good on both of you, and buy a matching set. That way you can feel a little more connected despite the distance when you're both wearing yours.

Small Souvenirs
If your sweetheart has favorite shops or restaurants they like to visit when they're in town, pick up a few small items from each one to include in the package. Or find some funny little souvenirs from local sports teams or tourist attractions you've visited together. Even though you won't be able to be together, the familiar items will make your significant other feel closer to you.

Tickets to a Show
This one may require a little research, but it will definitely be worth it. Take a look online to see if there will be any plays, concerts or other fun events going on in your partner's town in the next few months, and if you see one they'll like, pick up a couple tickets. They'll be able to bring a friend along, and they'll love that you gave them the opportunity to have such a fun experience.

No matter what you send, make sure you put a lot of thought into what your sweetheart will love!
