Valentine's Day isn't just about chocolate! "Flower Valentine": A new tradition of giving flowers to loved ones
Valentine's Day is traditionally associated with chocolate, but did you know that in recent years, giving "flowers" has also gained attention?

The concept of chocolate as a Valentine's gift is changing
In recent years, the ways to enjoy chocolate have diversified, including "friend chocolate" for friends and "self-chocolate" as a reward for oneself.
Valentine's Day is no longer just about women giving chocolate gifts to men!
What's particularly gaining attention is "Flower Valentine," where both men and women give flowers to each other. -
Expressing important feelings to loved ones with flowers
The beauty and fragrance of flowers have a mysterious power to heighten emotions on special days.
They gently convey feelings that might be embarrassing to say in words, such as "Thank you always," "I love you," or "Good job."
On a day for conveying important feelings, please give flowers. Your feelings are sure to be conveyed more than you imagine.
Why is "Flower Valentine" gaining attention?
Giving flowers on Valentine's Day offers an amazing surprise!
Regardless of gender, opportunities to receive flowers are not that common.
That's why it's highly surprising and creates a memorable impression for the recipient.
Just having flowers makes it an unforgettable Valentine's Day!
Flowers can be enjoyed regardless of age or gender!
After the COVID-19 pandemic, the habit of "decorating rooms with flowers" and "incorporating color into daily life" is spreading not only among women but also men.
It's easy to take photos and videos that look good on social media, so it might be rapidly gaining popularity among the younger generation.
Chocolate is a sweet food, so it may not be well-received by those with health concerns or those who simply don't like sweets.
With flowers, there's no need for that!
Flowers are gifts that showcase your taste.
When you receive a special flower that you wouldn't usually buy for yourself, it makes you feel even more strongly that the giver cares deeply about you.
The charm of a tasteful flower gift is that it shows an extra level of thoughtfulness.
When giving flowers for Valentine's Day, please choose a flower gift that you think is good or one that makes you imagine the recipient's smile.
The appeal of winter roses proposed by &YOUKAEN
Roses are recommended for Valentine's Day!
Roses are very popular flowers, so they are available all year round, but their size varies depending on the season.
The rose season is from autumn to winter. The flowers are larger than those in spring and summer, and especially in winter, they are less likely to be damaged due to low temperatures during transportation.
&YOUKAEN utilizes its many years of experience and expertise to offer a lineup that maximizes the high-quality appeal of these winter roses.
■ Winter roses are characterized by freshness and longevity
Winter roses are characterized by their ability to maintain their splendor.
During the winter season, temperatures during transport are kept low, so they arrive at customers in a fresh state.
Harvested and shipped at the perfect time for the Valentine's season, they can be enjoyed for a long time after being displayed at home.
Winter is a season when flowers shine vibrantly. We hope you will experience the beauty of winter roses!
■ The charm of winter roses is their clearer, more vibrant colors
Another appeal is that colors perfect for Valentine's Day, such as red and pink, stand out even more.
The beautiful gradations of light and dark greatly enhance the mood of a special day.
Just having winter roses in a bouquet or flower arrangement instantly brightens the overall quality, which is a great help to florists.
■ Experienced florists carefully select roses
At &YOUKAEN, our florists carefully select each rose from our inventory and create bouquets and flower arrangements using only the very best.

We offer a wide variety of special flower gifts using only high-quality roses, so please give a winter rose gift for your Flower Valentine!
Recommended ways to give flowers for Valentine's Day
Convey your feelings simply with "a single rose"
For those giving flowers for the first time, or who want to subtly express their feelings, a single rose is recommended.
Just adding the words "I think of you specially" instantly creates a dramatic effect.
It would be lovely to hand it over after a date or a meal.
Surprise them with a "bouquet" focused on color and number of stems
Combining different colors of roses changes the atmosphere.
The meaning of roses also changes with the number of stems; 12 roses are called a "dozen roses" and are traditionally used for proposals in Europe.
- Red roses × Pink roses: A passionate and lovely impression
-
White roses × Pink roses: An elegant and gentle impression
Choosing Valentine's-themed wrapping and ribbons will double the splendor.
Since it's a special occasion, please give a carefully chosen flower gift for Valentine's Day.
Surprise with a stylish "flower box"
The scent of flowers that gently spreads the moment the box is opened instantly captivates the recipient's heart.
Small touches, like tucking in a message card, can further enhance the special feeling.
Another reason it's recommended is that it can be displayed anywhere. It's a stylish flower arrangement that can be placed in a small space.
Add chocolate or goods as a plus one
For those who "can't do without chocolate for Valentine's Day after all!", it's also a good idea to add a small chocolate along with flowers.
Furthermore, combining it with everyday goods like aromatherapy candles or hand cream makes the giver's thoughtfulness more apparent.
Please choose a gift while imagining the recipient's happy face.
Key points to keep in mind when giving flowers
-
Subtly research the recipient's preferences
Checking things like color, intensity of scent, and display space in advance can make gift selection smoother.
Flower gifts like bouquets and flower arrangements come in many designs and color variations, so try not to get lost when it comes time to buy!
Popular colors for Valentine's Day flower gifts are red and pink. Rich, wintery hues are especially popular.
Bouquets are a popular form of gift. If a man is giving to a woman, giving just a single rose is also popular! -
Choose a convenient date and location for reception
Even if you've prepared a surprise flower gift, it might be difficult if the recipient is busy.
It's recommended to consider the workplace, home, or a situation that would delight the recipient.
It's a good idea to take ample time and prepare in advance. -
Entrust unexpressed feelings to a message card
Flowers alone are lovely, but a message deepens the impression.
Even a simple phrase like "Thank you always" or "I'm happy to have you" is enough.
Flowers will amplify your feelings many times over, so your emotions will surely be conveyed. -
Advice on care and maintenance
Basic care, such as changing the water in the vase, is crucial for keeping flowers beautiful for a long time.
It's more thoughtful to include a simple explanation when giving them.
When presenting a bouquet, advise them to unwrap it upon returning home and change the water daily.
When presenting a flower arrangement, tell them to regularly add water to the absorbent foam.
In both cases, displaying them in a cool spot away from direct sunlight is key to making them last longer!
