Buying Valentine Gifts For A Friend? Here Are 5 Unique Advice To Consider From A Top Florist So, what do you do to impress that lovely person you just met or just started dating without breaking your wallet? Here are a few suggestions to help you on your way. Create Memories Visit to a nice park, the beach or a restaurant where both of you can enjoy a nice meal and each other’s company. There is even the added bonus of getting to observe their manners if this is important to you.  When you connect with a people emotionally, you are more likely to connect physically. When you are comfortable in each other’s company, you can plan a night or a weekend away. If she is really into you, a carved figurine bought on a day out at the beach will mean more to her than any expensive gift. Be Courteous The gift of lavish compliments is just as good and any gift, when it comes to valentine gifts for a friend. Make her feel good, compliment her on her new hair style, nails or anything she has done to prepare herself to see you. She didn’t spend hours prepping for you not to notice or acknowledge the effort. Women as well as men love attention, so it goes a long way when you pay attention and voice your appreciation of a good thing. Keep it simple Valentine gifts should be simple, A small bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolate or a cake is perfectly adequate as a birthday or valentine gift. If she is going to be with you for the rest of your life, then also consider something she can wear. It shows you actually put some thought into buying the gift; remember its quality not quantity. Know where you stand Finding the right time to ask where you stand in a relationship, or if you are even in a relation at all may be a little tricky. However, you want to ask these difficult questions earlier on in a relationship before you invest any time, money or tears. Get this questions out of the way within the first month of knowing each other; an open and honest conversation is what you need to get clarity. If after you have had this conversation and you are still unsure where you stand then you are not a relationship worth pursing, don’t waste your time, MOVE ON! Give Flowers  Flowers and plants are one of the most beautiful things in nature. Flowers are always appreciated on a regular basis, do not buy 100 roses on Valentine’s Day and nothing for the rest of the year. Instead get your florist to set up a weekly or monthly flower or plant delivery to the home or office of someone significant to you.  Some people may say they don’t like or appreciate flowers, and that’s okay. Send them a box of chocolate and a bottle of wine or a helium filled message balloon.  The best online florist with a large selection of plants, flowers, chocolates, balloons and inexpensive gifts is; the Flower and Balloon Company. Shop online -flowerandballooncompany.com So, when he or she becomes a stable and significant person in your life, by all means splash out on all the expensive valentine gifts you can afford. At least you know they will be with you for the long haul and your investment in that shinny new jewellery or car is well worth the investment. In Conclusion There should be no pressure on you to buy a friend valentine gifts, especially when it is still early day in your friendship journey. Do what feels natural to you and be true to who you are. Our florist recommends you speak to your friend casually about his or her expectation for valentines day.  The key to lasting friendship is first and foremost, open and honest conversations and managing expectations is a skill you must master.

While out shopping with the kids, this weekend we walked past a high street shop that had just put up a giant light box decoration to mark the beginning of the holiday season.  It was the first shop to put up decorations this year and naturally we were all happy to see the glowing lights from this giant display that said XMAS! Why not CHRISTMAS in full, I wondered.  Is Christmas such a long word that it has to be abbreviated, it only has 9 Letters.  One letter more than Hanukkah (the Jewish Celebration), two letters more than Ramadan and the same 9 letters as Eid-El-Fitr. So why haven’t any of these other religious ceremonies been abbreviated with an X.  And why use X in its abbreviation anyway and not C, which is the most logical letter since Christmas begins with a C. I turned to the dictionary to find out what X means- I typed into the search box (What does X mean in English).  It said, X is used to represent a number, or the name of person or thing that is not known or stated, proper noun. X can be used to represent the name of a person when you do not know their real name, or when you are trying to keep their real name a secret. So is this why X is used to represent Christ in Christmas, to ensure Christ is unknown and to keep his name a secret? No wonder the real meaning of Christmas has been hijacked by the commercial market that push the fictitious Santa Clause and his Elves as the bearers of desirable gifts, but in actuality the most precious gift of all was God’s most precious son Jesus Christ to the world. I am not sure how far back this Christmas to Xmas started, but there’s no reason why it should continue being this way. Just as every religion deserves to be respected, Christianity also needs to be respected. Christ cannot be replaced and should not be replaced with an X. At Christmas we remind ourselves and other’s of God’s gift to us, with celebration and thanksgiving, therefore let us embrace the word of God which says in: – Ephesians 5:20 always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father. As with anything in life, the value we place on anything we hold dear will determine others perception of it.  Christ is the reason for the season and it should never be forgotten or replaced. Remember it’s CHRISTmas, not Xmas. About the Author Tenny is a Health and Safety Professional, a qualified Florist and owner of The Flower and Balloon Company in Lagos Nigeria.

Where to Buy Fresh Flowers or Artificial Flowers in Lagos? We sell a large variety of fresh and artificial flowers, but more importantly we need you to know where to find the right type of flowers for every  occasion. Our customers often ask us to put together artificial Flower Bouquet,    We always want to accommodate our client’s wishes, however we sometimes can’t help but ask them why they have chosen artificial flowers over fresh flowers. Their responses vary and may just surprise you. Cost People often ask why are flowers so expensive to buy in Nigeria. The cost of buying artificial flowers vary, as you can get plastic flowers, foam flower or silk flowers. Silk flowers are the most expensive of the three, because they very similar in look to life flowers. Fresh Flowers are the real deal, and are usually within the same price range as artificial flowers. Fresh flowers typically last between 1-2 weeks depending on how long they have been cut before they get to the retailer.  We at flower and balloon company, source our flower directly from the Dutch and Kenyan Farms to ensure they are in the best condition when we receive them. Purpose for Use Flowers are used for practically any occasion, however, customers will generally seek to use artificial flowers for Office decorations, Large Table and event centrepieces, and Funeral flowers. The reason for this choice is usually because they last a long time and they don’t wilt or brown. However, artificial flowers still need to be cleaned occasionally as they gather dust over time. Fresh Flowers work well for all the purposes mentioned above, even if they don’t last as long. They add a touch of class to any environment and they smell amazing. Lack of Awareness There is people who genuinely do not know they are able to easily buy fresh flowers in Lagos online or in store.  Our qualified florist is always online to provide advice and guidance about what to buy. Ease of use Artificial flowers is easily transported and they do not need any specialist care or attention. You do not have to be formally trained or experienced to make put together an artificial arrangement. In conclusion We know it is down to individual preference to choose either a fresh flower arrangement or an artificial one. However, nothing compares to the scent and ambiance a fresh flower arrangement brings to a room. While fresh flowers can be given as a thoughtful and classy gift, the same cannot be said for an artificial arrangement that can be tacky and lifeless.
