Valentine’s Day is around the corner, and guess what? It’s the busiest day of the year for your favorite local florist—yes, that’s us at Linda’s Flowers!

Here in the Ozarks, folks consider Valentine’s Day a truly special time—an opportunity to show appreciation and affection for the people you love. 

And one of the best (and most traditional) ways to do that is with flowers! 

If you want to sidestep any last-minute panic (and avoid starring in a #ValentinesFail TikTok), now’s the time to secure those flowers or special gifts.

Don’t Let Your Loved One Miss Out

Imagine your sweetheart at work, surrounded by co-workers flaunting gorgeous bouquets, while their desk sits empty.

Ouch!

That’s the kind of peer pressure that can haunt you for the rest of the year. Don’t be the one who forgot—order ahead and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with being prepared!

No Sweetheart? Share the Love Anyway!

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be exclusively about romance. Spread the cheer to those you care about:

  • Mom—she’s always been your biggest fan (and probably your biggest critic, too—but that’s love!).
  • Grandma—surprise her with something that reminds her she’s cherished.
  • Aunts, uncles, cousins, friends—anyone who makes life a bit sweeter.

Little gestures can go a long way, and a thoughtful bouquet or sweet treat says “I’m thinking of you” like nothing else.

More Than Just Flowers

At Linda’s Flowers, we offer more ways to wow that special someone (or anyone else you want to spoil):

  • Candy for a sweet pick-me-up.
  • Plants for the green thumb in your life (or someone hoping to grow one!).
  • Stuffed animals for that extra cuddle factor.
  • Combo gifts that blend flowers, treats, and plushies all in one impressive package.

Tips for a Truly Memorable Valentine’s Day

  1. Add a Personal Touch
    A hand-written note or a card with a heartfelt (or even humorous) message can make your gift feel extra special. It’s not just about the flowers; it’s about the story you’re telling with them.
  2. Consider Color & Meaning
    Red roses might be the classic Valentine’s choice, but other flowers—like carnations, tulips, and sunflowers—can convey unique sentiments. Let our florists help you pick blooms that match your loved one’s personality and style.
  3. Know Their Favorites
    Do they love chocolates, or do they have a sweet spot for fruity candies? Maybe they’re passionate about succulents or adore soft plushies? A personalized gift bundle shows you really know them.
  4. Factor in Delivery
    If you’re sending flowers to a workplace or a specific location, make sure you provide accurate details—no one wants a gorgeous bouquet taken to the wrong address!

Have Fun With It

Valentine’s Day shouldn’t be all stress. Instead of getting stuck on what everyone else is doing, channel your own creativity and think about what truly makes your loved ones smile. 

If they adore bright, cheery colors, go for a kaleidoscopic bouquet with mixed blooms—or if they’re more into subtle tones, opt for a chic arrangement of elegant lilies or calla lilies. 

Feeling adventurous? Mix it up with exotic flowers (we love Birds of Paradise!), add a quirky stuffed animal, or even tuck in a little inside joke in the card. 

The point is to let your personality shine through and show that you put thought into their unique likes and dislikes. Above all, remember that Valentine’s Day is about celebrating love—so skip the overthinking and have fun with it!

Beyond the Blooms: Celebrate with Surprises

Sometimes, it’s not just about the flowers—though they’re certainly a star of the show! Consider pairing your bouquet with an experience or an extra surprise that aligns with your loved one’s interests. 

Maybe they’re a foodie who’d appreciate a gift card to their favorite local restaurant tucked into the arrangement, or a movie buff who’d smile over a pair of tickets to the latest blockbuster. Getting creative like this shows you’ve given real thought to what would make your Valentine’s Day celebration memorable and uniquely “them.”
