Don’t Give Your Loved One Boxed Flowers on Valentine’s Day!

There are many reasons why it does not make sense to opt for those flower shops or online florists that deliver their bouquets and flower arrangements in boxes: The jaw-dropping presentation is lost when flowers are wrapped in a box and often damage the flowers.

You don’t really want your loved one arranging their own gift of flowers. They are not designers and probably don’t want to be either.
