Bouquet of Flowers

There’s a reason Valentine’s roses are practically synonymous with the holiday. This timeless classic dates all the way back to the reign of the 17^th century Swedish King Charles II, who explored new art through the language of flowers. Affiliated with Aphrodite, the goddess of love, red roses translate to the symbol of deep love and romance.

If you think roses are just for women, we beg to disagree—guys like flowers, too! Have them surprise delivered to his work to everyone in the office can revel in their beauty.
