Tacoma Boys’ Guide to Valentines Flowers & Gifts

A tradition for many couples, Valentine’s flowers are a fresh and beautiful way to show your love. Seasonal flowers and roses have a lovely aroma and remind you of the appreciation your loved one feels for you. It’s one of those gifts that shows thoughtfulness and marks special occasions— Or you can even give living plants as an alternative to fresh cut local flowers! In addition to plants and flowers, gifts like specialty food items, chocolate, and wine are enjoyable and can help you express your love for others.

Valentine’s Flowers and Plants

Tacoma Boy’s selection of fresh cut local Valentine’s flowers are a great gift to give that’s easy to grab alongside your dinner groceries. Although dinner for the holiday is common, Valentine’s flowers last longer and act as a symbol of love. No matter what you do to show your appreciation for others, it’s the thought that counts: Flower bouquets are definitely special to many, especially when they’re local and grown and arranged with careful attention to detail. 

From roses, to tulips, to lilies, and mixed bouquets, flowers are usually fragrant and bound to light up any room with a gorgeous pop of color. In addition to bunches of roses in various colors, Tacoma Boys offers a variety of other fresh cut local flower bouquets to give. You will always find several bouquet arrangements to purchase with different flowers and embellishments. Or, grab a potted flowering plant for your loved one that will last through the season!
