Why Buying Flowers for Your Girlfriend on Valentine’s Day Itself is a Huge Mistake Originally posted at: https://goo.gl/XPyhs8
There are some people who are completely fed up of flowers exchanged on Valentine’s Day. They think that it’s become too cliché, and while they do have a point when you look at it from a certain perspective, the fact is, flowers and Valentine’s Day would always be a popular match. Valentine's day gift for girlfriend Flower purchases skyrocket in the weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day, and whether you want to buy online flowers or buy them from a neighborhood florist’s, you need to do your flower shopping before the all-important day. There are still many people who leave their flower shopping for February 14 itself, and here are the reasons why that is a big mistake. You Would Get Ripped Off Every single florist knows that certain varieties of flowers such as red roses, gerberas and orchids witness incredible demand during Valentine’s Week. As a result, the prices of these aforementioned flowers keep rising as time inches closer towards February 14. On the day itself, flower prices hit their peaks. So no matter what flower you buy on Valentine’s Day, know that would have to pay a lot more for it than you would have to if you made arrangements for it earlier. Stocks Would Run Out Most people are aware of the fact that these days, you can’t simply do your flower shopping on Valentine’s Day. Most of the flowers are thus, already purchased by the time the clock hits twelve on February 14. You might try and buy a variety of flowers from the most reputed florist in your neighborhood, but in all likelihood, the red roses would be sold out, and you would have to settle for yellow roses, or worse yet, artificial flowers. While yellow roses are not a bad alternative, it certainly isn’t something your girlfriend would appreciate, especially if it’s a romantic relationship, as yellow roses are symbolic of platonic love. Less Chance of Finding Fresh Flowers Flowers are best gifted when they are at their freshest. But there’s very little hope for you to find fresh flowers on Valentine’s Day itself. Most of the remaining fresh flowers would have been sold right at the start of the day. So you have to either rush to your local florist’s first thing in the morning, or settle for flowers that have lost most of their freshness and charm. It simply doesn’t make sense to buy flowers that have already started withering and that too at inflated prices.
