Working for Flower Shop Network and in the floral industry, it has been my great privilege to hear some of the many many many wonderful sentiments on the cards sent along with gifts of flowers. Some are sweet and some are silly, but the ones that touch my heart the most (and that’s hard to do) are the flowers sent just because.

Just because I love you…
Just because I care…
Just because it’s Tuesday…
Just because your dog is a dalmatian…

With that in mind, I’ve decided to list some the top 5 reasons why it’s important to send flowers “just because.” Enjoy!

1. Sending flowers just because puts a pep in the step of the recipient. It makes that person feel special, loved, adored, considered, thought of, appreciated, and worth your time. Who wouldn’t move a little more spryly with those feelings in mind?
2. It’s a great way to let someone know that you’re thinking of them. Sometimes circumstances happen in life that prevent us from being able to see our loved ones or share our feelings with them in a big way. When times like these make us feel distant, sending flowers with a sweet card attached lets everyone know that it’s not by choice that we’re separated.
3. Sending flowers just because is a good way to butter up a woman. Women are just fun creatures like that. We love to be spoiled. We love to be treated like queens. Once we’re in a good mood, we’re putty! Well, maybe not all of us but the rest of the roost tends to be happy when the woman is in a good mood. Buttering her up with a gift of flowers is a great start!
4. Sending flowers to a friend lets them know that you’re always there for him or her. Sometimes a friend just needs a little reminder that you’ll be an open ear and a shoulder to cry on during the rough times. It’s also a good way to say that you’ll be a cheerful companion in the great times. Cloud nine to the lowest valleys, you’re BFFs for life.
5. A “just because” arrangement is a great way to do a random act of kindness. As much a treat for you as for the recipient, sending flowers just because is one of the best ways to surprise someone just by being nice for the sake of being nice.

Alright, I didn’t just pull this blog’s theme out of the air. My friend Tracy received flowers at work last week (shown above). Envious though I was, everyone was very happy for her because they weren’t sent for any special reason. They were just a sweet reminder of how much her honey loves her. During the rest of the day, it seemed that all of the conversations between the other woman and our significant others took a turn toward her flowers. Like I said, it makes a woman feel special especially if there are a lot of people around to tell her how special she is!

No matter what your non-occasion, sending flowers for no apparent reason is a fun and unique way to say “I love you” to someone. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to make someone’s day. Oh, and pass the message along to my honey! Ha!
