Don't be afraid to think outside the box this Valentine's Day. Tropical flowers and sunflowers work too!

But, now that we’re in February, it’s time to get moving on this adventure. Sit down for a few minutes, pick the country where your flowers will go, and use our handy Valentine’s Day button or drop-down “occasion” to see our suggested picks for that region. You won’t regret taking care of business early.

If you order now, there’s still plenty of time for our florists to be sure they have all the supplies they need. The longer you wait, the greater the risk of substitutions, though we always fulfil the orders we take. Believe us, when your loved ones sees the care and attention we take on our garden-fresh flowers, he or she will be over the moon. DaFlores only uses the best florists who believe that the path to great bouquets is in garden-fresh flowers daily—even on Valentine’s Day.

From modest to magnificent symbols of love, we at daFlores have it all. We make it easy and quick to order, and back everything up with 24-hour, bilingual customer service. Come on down and see the daFlores difference when you order gorgeous flowers for Valentine’s Day.

Did you know that, in some countries, Daisies is the youngest branch of Girl Scouts?

The Girl Scouts will serve pizza for dinner and kids will take part in Valentine’s Day crafting sessions. It’s a cross between a pajama party and a craft session, and there’ll be a movie too. All this is presented for the cost of a donation. The troop is raising funds for a trip to Costa Rica.

If you’re craving a kid-free night for Valentine’s Day, look around and see if there’s something like this going on in the neighborhood. Even if it’s not in your local town, you can make your plans around the place where babysitting is available. In events like these, everyone wins: Nonprofits get funds and a chance to learn, kids have fun, and you have a chance to breathe and enjoy some grown-up time.

We at daFlores can’t help you with babysitting and logistics, but we can help you with gorgeous Valentine’s Day flowers. Across the Americas, and in parts of Asia and Europe too, we provide amazing, fresh flowers to bring you joy on Valentine’s Day–all backed up with our 100 percent satisfaction guarantee and years of experience.

For the rest, well, refer to your local Scout troops. They may well surprise you.

DaFlores has a selection of beautiful flowers you can send to Spain for Valentine's Day and other occasions.

Look around for these kinds of events in your community. They’re not only a great way to meet people of all ages and make friends, they spread the love of Valentine’s Day much further. The groups are even calling on local youth to hand-craft their own cards. The little bits of warmth sent to far-flung places are deeply appreciated and welcome. Whether it’s veterans, seniors or anyone who might be lonely on Valentine’s Day, there’s much to be said for the kindness of strangers.

Even if there’s nothing going on this year, you can show appreciation for a veteran by making an online donation to a support organization, of which there are many. If you need a beautiful flower delivery for Valentine’s Day, please take a look through the daFlores website. That’s what we do.

Then look through your City Hall or local newspaper’s calendars to see what is going on this Valentine’s Day. That’s what you do. You might be surprised at the amount of love it’s possible to spread this Valentine’s Day.

Valentine's Day roses and flowers

Veterans and service personnel are always going to be an important part of your country’s makeup. They defend, protect and serve. While we can’t get flowers into a war zone, perhaps there is a way to send cards and messages of appreciation to service personnel through regular mail channels, or to set up a day of appreciation in your home country. On the other side of the coin, if you’re serving, you can get online and have flowers delivered to a loved one waiting a home; all you need is an Internet connection and a way to pay.

You don’t have to go overboard and organize a grand city-wide celebration. Just your own gesture of appreciation to a veteran will always be appreciated. But if you are the organizing type, see what societies and organizations help veterans in your area, and see if you can do anything to help. Opportunities abound and we at daFlores think that the more love that’s spread around, the more there will be.

Send a gift, show Valentine's Day appreciation

The Coast Guard station presence in New London was first established in 1910, so there really are long-standing ties. Trainees are put through their paces in this area, too. But what is going on at this site gave us at daFlores.com a few ideas. What can you do to support the people and organizations that you appreciate, both at home and overseas?

Valentine’s Day can be a time to pull together and create special events for the institutions you like, from museums to teachers to friends. You can use daFlores.com to send gorgeous flowers and gifts overseas, but we also believe that a strong community is one of the many ways to happiness and stability. Even if you can’t pull something together this year, could your community do something next year, on a small or even a grand scale?

Ask yourself: Whom do you appreciate this Valentine’s Day, and what can you do for them?

DaFlores takes care of your flower delivery needs.

Another option is to employ services such as UPS, FedEx and DHL to get your parcel there in time. Since they specialize in fast delivery, that should do the trick. Internationally-speaking it can get expensive, but even UPS ground will still get a parcel to your loved one in the United States or Canada before Valentine’s Day—if you get organized right now.

UPS will package parcels effectively for you, giving you security that your thoughtful gift will arrive in time. But if you’re packing parcels yourself, there are two things you mustn’t skimp on: Padding, and tape. You can stash away bubble wrap from previous parcels you receive and reuse it to ensure the item, at the center of its packaging, doesn’t move around. Movement within the box is the single greatest cause of damage.

For lighter items that aren’t breakable, you can also pad with wadded-up paper such as advertising sheets and newspaper, but bubble wrap is lighter and cushions better. As for tape, choose good tape. Store brands from office stores are decent, but some of the name-brands are actually superior. The heavier the item, the stronger the tape should be. Cheap, flimsy tape can break and will spoil the surprise.

Of course, you can avoid all of this work by using daFlores online florist. Our range of gorgeous blooms creates the perfect impression this Valentine’s Day, and your expression of love is delivered right to the doorstep. Since we use garden-fresh flowers daily, they’ll last for at least a week, guaranteed. You can add gifts such as bottles of wine, balloons and chocolates, and we also have custom collections with teddy bears and balloons and other sweet items.

Beautiful roses for Valentine's Day and romance

Due to the exceptional busyness of the Valentine’s Day holiday, we can’t offer same-day delivery on Tuesday, February 14. But if you order now, you can have them delivered on or just before the day. One of our prides and joys is that we insist that our vendors use fresh flowers every morning. That lets us guarantee they’ll stay fresh an entire week—at least. We’ve known customers delighted with our flowers even after that. So you can get your Valentine’s Day flowers early, or even send a string of bouquets in the weeks leading up to that romantic occasion.

Whether you want to go the old-fashioned route and send your flowers anonymously, or just want to include a greetings card, daFlores.com has the team and experience to do you proud. With 24-hour hour customer service in Spanish and English, by telephone and email too, you’ll always be able to get the help you require. Whatever your Valentine’s Day flower needs, modest or extravagant, daFlores will look after you and your loved ones from beginning to end. It’s what we do.

As a single, you deserve Valentine's Day flowers too

If you’re single, take a look around and see if there isn’t an art gallery or similar venue putting on a Valentine’s Day reception. Such events always raise a few dollars for the institution in question, but they’re a good way of meeting others. The assumption is that, if you’re interested in the same topic, you have something in common with attendees. Even if it doesn’t “lead” anywhere, you’ll have had a good evening out.

You can also get together with your single friends and have a meal together, either in a restaurant or takeout. Valentine’s Day can be a celebration of friendship too, and there’s fun and solace in numbers. Add some wine and chocolates to your flower delivery order and you’ve got the perfect opportunity to share.

For those of you who’re single, we at daFlores are just as ready to send you beautiful Valentine’s Day flowers as we are to send them to couples. Regardless of your relationship status, we treat you to a wonderfully fresh and fragrant flower arrangement, crafted by experts. More than anything, Valentine’s Day shouldn’t have to be a depressing evening for anyone. If treating yourself or your friends to a wonderful mixed bouquet can make the day better, we say come on down.

Red roses for Valentine's Day

Depending on what’s going on, the process of healing can take a while. But once you’ve made it clear what your intentions are, you can send your “anytime” Valentine’s Day flowers. Our collection of flowers is the most romantic set we put out every year, so you can easily choose anything from this range and know it will speak of love and romance.

Here’s how you do it: Pick the country where you’ll be sending flowers, click through on our Valentine’s Day button, and choose from the arrangements on offer. You can always add a box of chocolates or bottle of wine if you’d like, as a further personal flourish; some of our Valentine’s Day flowers already have those as part of the arrangement.

Keep at it. Hearts can take a long time to heal. But with sincerity, openness and warmth, you can come out of the other side stronger. True love is all about living and learning and showing a willingness to grow, accept and learn to accept the lessons that life brings.
