The gift of flowers

By: Rae Hebb

Flowers have been exchanged as presents for hundreds of year. They can be used to convey everything from romantic love and obligation to congratulations and commiserations.

They''re a great gift for any occasion, sure to be well received and appreciated by the recipient. So, here''s why the next present you give should be a bunch of choice blooms.

1. There''s no fuss involved: No more trawling the highstreet, agonizing over unsuitable gifts. Flower shops are easy to find; and a florist will be able to help you quickly and easily pick out the ideal bouquet for your needs, with no more worrying over tastes or preferences.

2. They can say so much more than words: Everybody knows that a bouquet of red roses signifies romantic love and desire ? but did you know that different flowers can express anything from humility to neatness and rejected love? It''s a great way to convey meaning in a subtle and sweet-smelling way.

3. They''ll put a smile on anyone''s face: And that''s official. Research into the effect of flowers on the human disposition has shown that sweet-smelling and colourful blooms can raise a person''s mood. So you really can put a smile on somebody''s face.

4. They can be sent long-distance: Flowers don''t have to be given in person ? if you want to treat somebody who lives a long way away then it''s simple to send them a bouquet remotely. A web-based florist such as Interflora can offer next day delivery on flowers to almost any UK location ? useful if you''ve left your gift buying to the last minute, or want to give somebody a surprise treat at work.

5. It creates a lasting impression: Flowers might not last as long as gold, but they really can create an impression that continues long after the blooms fade. Whether you''re trying to demonstrate your thoughtfulness on a particular occasion, your ability to be romantic or simply your love for somebody, a bouquet can communicate that in a lasting way.

Of course, there are plenty of other reasons to give flowers. They can demonstrate commiseration, win somebody round to your point of view, woo a reluctant lover or simply put a smile on the face of a special someone. A bouquet is a multi-functional gift; more thoughtful than a box of chocolates but less expensive than a diamond ring. Whatever the occasion and whoever the recipient, flowers really are the perfect gift choice.
