Still need some love tips to make her day extra special?

Here are a few Real Man tips to make sure you are seen as the ultimate Romeo.

The element of surprise

There is nothing quite like pulling off a surprise. Showing up with a bouquet of flowers will knock her off her feet. Delivering them to home or work will have her beaming from ear to ear. Not only will the flowers brighten up her day for a week, but imagine all their colleagues looking on with envy at the proclamation of real love from their real man.

Make it last

To ensure you get the kudos (and don’t have to go to this effort all the time), why not arrange for a special delivery regularly through your Florist (say every month or two?).
You won’t have to remember or even make a call, but you will reap the real rewards, when you’re greeted with affectionate over and over. Make the love last all year round.

Beef up the romance

Romance is all about creating the mood and doing something extra special for the one you love. Here are a few traditional but effective ways to show your romantic side. • Collect a few extra flower petals when you’re at the florist. Scatter them on the bed (heart shape optional) or down the hallway. She will be so enthralled by your efforts the real rewards will come later • Grab a few candles at your local Florist to set the mood – teasing all your senses heightens the love factor • Make it real by cooking a delicious meal (or order in takeaway), and she will be so pleased. Remember, Romeo will choose her favourite meal. • Or be the real Romeo and prepare dinner with a rose between your teeth (ALERT: remember to remove the thorns first). This will give you something to smile about for months to come

Make it ALL about them

Red roses are the essence of romance, but they’re not an absolute must for Valentine’s Day. Surprise your sweetheart with fresh cut flowers which reflect their personality, represent their birth month or remind them of something special.  Your Florist can help – if you tell them their favourite colours, fragrances and the types of flowers they love, they will then tailor a bouquet to suit your budget. Remember it’s the real thought that counts.
A few ideas that can really help:
• Meaning of each flower (deep)
Birth month flowers (for star sign followers)

Kudos and major points

What is the first thing we do when we feel loved? Tell the world – or at least the world of Facebook or Instagram. So this Valentine’s Day, you will be the real man – a traditional Romeo – and everyone will know it. See your gift at #RealMenSendFlowers
