February 14 is almost here, so now is the time for lovers everywhere to find the perfect gift for their special someone. At Billy Heroman’s we have people come to us every year looking for original gifts that they can give without having to use the standard red rose. Although the red rose is timeless and beautiful, plenty of couples want to find new ways to show love. Fortunately, we have plenty of ideas for these couples to get started. Here are three of our favorites for those who want a delightful Valentine’s Day without going with the standard bouquet of red roses.

Go with the cute bear

Countless people love receiving cute gifts for Valentine’s Day. Using an adorable white bear with a red tie around the neck will perfectly incorporate the colors of the holiday and bring a smile to anyone’s face. Incorporate the bear with some Valentine’s Day balloons and some chocolate and the perfect gift will result. As an added bonus, this gift will long outlast any flower, and the person who receives it will have the bear to look at and admire.

Hit the sweet tooth

If there is one thing that seems to be nearly universally loved for Valentine’s Day, it would be chocolate. February 14 is a wonderful time to indulge on some sweets. If that special someone loves to savor some delicious delights, consider getting a gift basket filled with different kinds of chocolate treats. This might include a variety of different kinds of gourmet desserts, cookies, and candy bars. This type of gift will delight anyone who has a sweet tooth, while the variety and thoughtfulness will make it even more special.

Use the colors of Valentine’s Day with different flowers

Many couples also enjoy going with a perfect mix of tradition and originality. Consider getting a bouquet of flowers that uses blooms such as stargazer lilies and hydrangea alongside red roses, bringing their rich color to a unique arrangement that will look positively stunning. The gorgeous reds, pinks, and whites that are prominent throughout the arrangement will speak perfectly to the intentions of Valentine’s Day, while the flowers themselves will be a wonderful addition to the tradition of standard red roses. This gift will be adored by any recipient and will help light up the room.

Valentine’s Day is a wonderful time to show love and appreciation for that special someone in life. There are plenty of gift ideas that allow people to step outside the standard box of red roses, so those who want to give something new should give one of the above ideas a try. They should be enough to bring a smile to anyone’s face.
