Trying to figure out what makes your person feel genuinely loved can be tricky, right? Every birthday present, anniversary date, and Valentine’s Day surprise basically becomes a pop quiz in “How well do you know them?” One answer is always correct: flowers, like luxe red roses that literally deliver romance or a bouquet full of bright, fun blooms that totally matches their personality. Once you lock in the flowers, it’s all about the delivery moment. Do you send them to work, surprise them at home, or have them waiting at dinner? You can totally build your game plan around the five love languages invented by Gary Chapman, the more contemporary seven romance styles, or even what they’re obsessed with in their free time. At Mancuso’s Florist in St. Clair Shores, Michigan, we have all the tricks to turn blossoms into full-on romance, delivered with your unique spin.

Pair Flowers with a Love Note, Poem, or Song Lyrics

Sometimes speaking from your heart beats any bougie gift you could buy. For people who crave words of affirmation, a sincere message is literal proof they’re valued, not just loved on autopilot. Your mission is to find the version that hits home. Maybe they screenshot meaningful song lyrics, fall for dreamy poems, or only trust words that sound perfectly like you. Once you land on the right vibe, get it on paper so they can keep it close. Hand it over it with their all time favorite stems and watch the whole thing turn the romance all the way up.

Pick Them Up From Work with Flowers on the Passenger Seat

We live in a world where slowing down feels almost illegal sometimes, so giving your partner that break is huge. This hits especially hard if they have a pretty practical love style or totally resonate with acts of service. Step one: reset the home front. Tidy what you can, finish a few pressing tasks, and make the space feel calm so they don’t walk into more work. Step two: pick them up from work with blooms in the passenger seat like royalty. Whisk them away to whatever kind of date night they want. The moment they realize you planned everything for them is pure magic.

Plan an Adventurous Day Together

Some people feel loved through the “little things” (which, honestly, floral delivery and sparkling clean living spaces are already straight up amazing), but others need big, movie-level surprises. For them, it’s adventure mode. Start by choosing the journey: is it snorkeling, snowshoeing, a road trip, or tripping through a new city? Get everything planned, then order flowers for the exact moment you reveal it. Tropical or exotic stems are perfect here, as they hint that something exciting is happening. Finally, wrap it all up and tell them what you’ve planned. If quality time, activities, and doing fun stuff together is basically oxygen for your sweetie, this kind of surprise is their love language times ten.

Brighten the Kitchen with Blooms While You Bake or Cook Together

Food is such a main character in life, right? A good meal can flip your mood and send all those feel good brain chemicals soaring. That’s why, for some people, cooking or baking together is literally the highway to their heart. To surprise them in the sweetest way, plan a full couples cooking date. Prep everything in advance, mise en place style, so it feels extra legit. Have the kitchen deep cleaned, a playlist ready, and fresh stems on the kitchen island for the mood. Then cook side by side, eat what you made, and let that cozy memory stick with you both.

Ensure They Have Fresh Stems All Year Long

There are oodles of reasons to hook your partner up with a floral subscription. First of all, fresh blossoms delivered monthly is the gift that keeps giving, literally. You can personalize each bouquet around the season, big life moments, their favorite colors and flowers, or just hand the vision board over to your florist. It’s a dream for anyone who loves thoughtful gifts that also double as emotional support. And the best part? Blooms give them an experience: something they’ll notice in the morning, walking by during lunch, or late at night, getting a little happiness hit every single time.

No other gift reads the room like flowers, especially when you tailor the stems to their personality and love language. However you stage the surprise, Mancuso’s Florist is in your corner, curating arrangements that spark joy, butterflies, and that can’t-stop-smiling moment every single time.
