The Unique Gift of Roses

Whether your going on a first date, celebrating your 10-year
anniversary, or proposing marriage, roses can be the perfect
gift to complement any romantic occasion. Giving the gift
of roses provides a certain impression of elegance and class
that can really impress your partner. Couples have been expressing
their love to one another with roses for centuries. However,
because it is such a common gift, you may want to put a bit
more thought into how you can make your gift of roses unique.
Don’t run the risk of looking cliché in the
eyes of your date; add some creative thought to your gift.
There are a few ways to give the elegance of roses and yet
still make the gift creative:
1. Roses With a Message
One unique way to give roses as a gift is by putting a message
directly on the petals of your roses. SpeakingRoses.com
allows you to inscribe a brief message on your rose to
add a little creativity to this classic gift. For a first
date you can have a flirty “Hey Cutie” written
on the petals or, for a romantic time such as an anniversary,
you can have “I love you” written. You can
even put “Will you marry me?” on a rose as
a unique proposal method.
2. Gold Trimmed Single Rose
Several florists (and even some jewelers) will sell roses
that are trimmed in gold. While this will cost you a bit
more than a dozen regular roses, a single gold trimmed
rose can add a level of deep romance to your gift, not
to mention creativity. An added benefit to a gold trimmed
rose is that is lasts much longer than a regular rose.
Roses are typically enameled and trimmed in gold to give
them the look of fresh cut roses with the special sparkle
of gold.
3. The Chocolate Rose
Many women (and some men too) love flowers almost as much
as they love chocolate. Why not give two gifts in one with
the chocolate rose! Gourmet chocolate and candy shops often
sell chocolates that have been formed into unique shapes
for special occasion gifts. One of those shapes is usually
in the form of a single rose. You can buy one chocolate
rose or buy a dozen and arrange them as if they were a
bouquet of real roses. If your date loves chocolate she
(or he) will undoubtedly be pleasantly surprised.
4. One Rose Stands Out From The Crowd
If you are planning to give the traditional gift of a dozen
roses, but want to add that extra creative flair, go to
your florist and buy a 11 red roses, and 1 uniquely colored
rose. Roses can come in a variety of colors so make sure
the single rose is enough of a contrast to stand out from
the 11 red roses, but that the color does not clash with
the other roses. When you deliver your bouquet tell your
special someone that their amazing beauty makes them stand
out from the rest of the crowd and that the single beautiful
rose that is set apart from the group of red roses symbolizes
that special beauty in your partner.
These are four distinctive ways to make your gift of roses
have a stronger impression on your significant other. While
roses are a wonderful gift to celebrate your loved one or
a special occasion in your relationship, adding some creativity
by using one of these ideas may help you better show what
a unique impact your partner has had on your life and further
emphasize how much you care for them. It will also create
a vivid happy memory for your loved one to treasure for years
to come.
