Valentine’s Day is sneaking up on us once again, which means it’s time to start sending love and thoughtful sentiments to your family, friends, and significant other. While red roses are a classic option for your romantic partner, you may be searching for more appropriate flower choices that send a boost of happiness and warmth to your family – or the friends who are like family – on Valentine’s Day. Here at Ital Florist, the top flower shop in Toronto, our experts have curated a Cupid-approved list of colourful, timeless, and symbolic blooms the family members you cherish.

Choosing the Perfect Valentine’s Day Sentiment

Gifts for Your Father or Grandfather

Fathers and grandfathers often receive things like new socks, ties, or desk accessories when the holidays roll around. So, this Valentine’s Day, gift the men you look up to something unexpected and exciting. Despite popular assumptions, guys actually love receiving fresh flowers and plants! Trade in the tired socks for aromatic hydrangeas, the cheesy ties for colourful gerbera daisies, and the desk organizer for mood-boosting sunflowers.

Gifts for Your Mother or Grandmother

For a loving and meaningful Valentine’s Day surprise for your mom, send her an arrangement bursting with fresh-cut roses. Since red roses are more romantic, save those for a significant other or husband and gravitate toward symbolic pastel hues like pink, lavender, and white roses or lovely carnations that represent motherly love. This simple gesture of sending sweet blooms will mean the world to her.

Gifts for Your Brother

A Valentine’s Day surprise for your favourite brother should express your support and care for their happiness, health, and their environment. If you remember your brother’s childhood bedroom, you might think that perhaps their home or office could use a little love, too. Easy to care for plants, like peace lilies and succulents, are rejuvenated and thoughtful gifts that keep on giving since they have the power to refresh, uplift, and express the love you have for your sibling.

Gifts for Your Sister

Sisters, and the besties who are like a sister, tease you, guide you, challenge you, and above all, love you. It’s another strong bond that cannot be replaced or taken for granted. Honour the love you share with elegant, graceful, and sweet pastel flowers. From her favourites to the timeless, like daisies and roses, and symbolic colours, like yellow and peach, which signify positivity, sincerity, friendship, and appreciation, there are endless meaningful options.

Gifts for Your Partner

A bouquet of one dozen sensational red roses is the icon of Valentine’s Day, not to mention the ultimate grand gesture for your significant other. However, red roses aren’t the only passionate or romantic blooms to celebrate your partner. A fresh floral mix of stargazer lilies and white roses also conveys desire, longing, beauty, elegance, and of course, love, romance, and passion. Once you set the mood with a timeless and extraordinary bouquet, pair the blooms with a gift that is just as sensational to fill your sweetheart with adoration.

We cannot think of a better gift to warm the hearts of your dear family than fresh blooms full of meaning and expressions. No matter how sentimental, over the top, or modest you want your gift to be, you can always convey the perfect message with Valentine’s Day bouquets from Ital Florist in Toronto.
