Let’s get real, flowers are not for ladies alone and the whole concept that men don’t like getting flowers is old news; let’s get rid of it. Your boyfriend also deserves to feel special, and getting a bouquet for boyfriend for no real reason can make a memory he’ll be thinking about for years.
Most guys won’t tell you they want flowers because they have been socialized to think it’s not manly to like pretty things. But watch his face when you show up with flowers he loves, or just something simple that makes you think of him, and you will know in a second that he is into it.
When He Gets That Big Promotion
Your boyfriend just got that job promotion he’s been working so hard for; he must feel amazing and relieved at the same time. Show up at his work or surprise him with flowers at home that are just as bold as this win feels. Ditch the roses and find something unique like sunflowers or those cool tropical flowers. These can say you’re proud without getting weird and romantic for a work thing.
After a Really Bad Day
Well, we all have those days when nothing is going right and when we want to just hide under the covers. When he texts you about his bad day, instead of sending back a sad face emoji, stop on your way over to get some flowers and pick up something soothing like lavender, or light-colored tulips that could help with his mood. This might just be a gesture but it lets him know you care for him and are listening to what he’s going through.
On His Birthday, But Make It Special
Birthdays are, of course, one of the obvious occasions for gifts, but most guys think they get a gift card or maybe some new kind of tech toy. So mix it up this year and add some flowers to whatever else you get him. Make it about him by choosing flowers in his favorite color or ones that remind you both of something special-perhaps your first date was at a garden, or he loved those wildflowers you saw on that hike together.
When He Hits a Personal Win
Did your boyfriend just finally finish that race he’s been training for forever, or pass that test he has been so stressed out about? There are many such wins that definitely need more than a quick congratulation and you need to do something special in these cases. Flowers show him you noticed his whole journey and you get how hard he worked for this. Bright and happy flowers, such as gerbera daisies or orange lilies, could be picked up in order to match the energy of what he just did.
Just Because It’s a Random Day
Surprise flowers are the greatest thing and they mean so much more when there is no reason for them at all. Your boyfriend wakes up on some random Tuesday, thinking it’s just another day, and then-when he walks in-the flowers are on the counter. These random little moments are just as important as the big planned days because they show him you’re thinking of him at every moment and are willing to go beyond just words to show that. You aren’t doing it because the date on the calendar is special, or because he did something big. You are doing it just because he means a lot to you and that is quite sweet and important in a relationship, regardless of gender.
After You Two Fight
Making up after an argument shouldn’t be just one person’s job in a real partnership, especially if you have been particularly rude. Flowers can show you care more about each other than the two of you being right. This should not mean that you are buying your way out of trouble or trying to fix everything with a gesture. It says that his feelings count just as much as yours do. Go for simple and real choices instead of crazy expensive flowers that look like you’re trying too hard.
Your boyfriend probably won’t ask for flowers straight up, but when you time the surprise just right, he loves them.
