Love it, hate it, celebrate it or shun it, the busiest day of the Little Flowers calendar is almost here again – Valentine’s Day! With it comes the question,  “What on earth do I order for my Valentine?”

We’ve got you covered.

 

10 creative ideas for sending Valentine’s Day flowers

 

1. Make a Statement: Elevate Romance with Your Valentine’s Day Flower Delivery Surprise

 

 

2. Send Valentine’s Day Flowers Anonymously

Little Flowers are PERFECT for anonymous sending. Our smaller bunches don’t break the bank and are super cute but not over the top or too full on.

Compare prices and sizes – here’s what our $45 Little Flowers bunch looks like next to the $80 Large and $135 Luxe bunches. 

Over the last ten years of delivering flowers in Sydney, we have had a lot of fun with our customers. The best anonymous Valentine’s Day flowers we’ve ever delivered? One bunch a day for five days, in the run-up to Valentine’s. They were from a lady sending to herself to make an office crush jealous! We hear on the flower vine that they’re now married with three kids.

4. Wild Abandon: Write A Fun Message For Your Valentine’s Day Flower Delivery 

At Little Flowers, we firmly believe that the gesture behind the flowers is as important as the Little Flowers themselves. Particularly when we see this kind of instruction with a Valentine’s Day flower delivery: “Decapitate with wild abandon while drawing a bath. Disregard clothes and stems. Climb in the bath with flower heads. Await further instruction.”

5. A Picture Speaks A Thousand Words: Send A Personalised Valentine’s Day Photo Gift

Sometimes, a poem or romantic message feels just too cheesy. Make it personal, but keep it fun – add a photo of you and your special someone to turn your flower delivery into a personalised Valentine’s Day gift. 

Whether you’re looking hot, silly or just plain weird, we do not judge love. In fact, we say the weirder, the better.

6. Actual Full Noise: Send A Valentine’s Day Video With Your Flower Bouquet

Similar to Full Noise, this personalised Valentine’s Day gift is for very creative people. Examples include poems scribed and read to the camera from the heart, songs penned and serenaded, acapella, hip hop and opera, to name but a few.

How do you send a virtual Valentine’s gift?

Step 1: Upload a video when you buy flowers for Valentine’s Day through Little Flowers and make it extra special.  

Step 2: We’ll create a unique QR code to print on the tag sent with your Valentine’s flowers to Sydney. 

Step 3: Your flowers for Valentine’s Day are delivered with the tag. Once the receiver scans it, then you, or whatever you chose to video, will be there. 

We think that the less creative talent you have, the more endearing it actually becomes. Don’t be shy- it’s like Karaoke. Participation and energy are everything.

7. Turn Your Valentine’s Day Flower Delivery Into A Work Of Art

If a photo speaks a thousand words, a pair of stick figures drawn from the heart speaks a million. Once again, photo tags are your friend when it comes to telling someone you love them this Valentine’s Day.

Get creative, take a picture of your artwork and upload it when you order.

8. Gift A Flower Subscription For Valentine’s Day

Gift the gift that keeps on giving for the Romeo or Juliet you want to keep close and potentially create small humans with.

When you buy a flower subscription for Valentine’s Day, we’ll make sure your special someone receives lovely, fresh flowers every week or month. It’s like showing your love over and over again, reminding them of that perfect Valentine’s Day you shared.

9. Self-love: Send Valentine’s Day Flowers For Yourself!

Should I buy myself flowers for Valentine’s Day? 

Absolutely! The Little Flowers statistician confirms that approximately 10% of all Valentine’s Day flower deliveries in Sydney are self-love bouquets bought by Sydney siders empowering themselves and confidently claiming the day as their own. Whether it is a little bunch, a big bunch or a bouquet of roses, self-sending is on trend.

10. Valentine’s Day Flowers for Him – Yes, Guys Love Flowers Too! 

Can I get my boyfriend flowers for Valentine’s Day?

It’s a little-known fact that the modern Australian man enjoys receiving flowers – 17% of Valentine’s Day gifts for men were flowers. So, the answer is a resounding yes! And we know this for sure because we have delivered flowers to many blokes in Sydney over the last decade, and we have seen their reactions.

Yes, everyone in the office makes a bit of a fuss. And yes, they will definitely get a bit awkward for a minute. But that just adds to the fun.

If you love any of these ideas and want to surprise your loved one with an unforgettable Valentine’s Day this year, just head to our online store now to see the beautiful bunch available today. 

Here are our responses to three of the biggest questions we usually get when it comes to buying flowers for Valentine’s Day.

How early should I order flowers for Valentine’s Day?

Our Valentine’s Day flowers sell out pretty fast. So, to make sure your Valentine’s Day blooms arrive right on time, pre-order at least a week or two in advance. Go through the order process, and you’ll find a calendar to select the 14th of February as the delivery date.  

We create a new bunch each Monday, Wednesday and Friday (the days Sydney Flower Market operates) and upload the latest picture by 9:30 am.

If you pre-order flowers for Valentine’s Day, which falls on a Wednesday this year, your bunch may look a little different to the one pictured, but we’ll make sure it looks just as beautiful. 

Looking for last-minute Valentine’s Day flowers? For CBD deliveries, hit us up by 12:15 pm, and for other spots, slide in before 12:45 pm, and we’ll try our absolute best to get your order out faster than a cupid’s arrow.

You can expect your flowers for Valentine’s Day to be delivered: Before 5:30 pm for offices (usually even earlier by 4 pm); by 7:00 pm at the latest for homes (but most likely by 5 pm).

But, err, keep in mind, the early love bird gets the worm, so try not to push it too close!

How much should you spend on flowers for Valentine’s Day?

In 2022, Aussies spent about $118 on average on Valentine’s Day gifts, and with inflation, we suspect that it’s only going up from here.

At Little Flowers, we’ve made it our mission to make Valentine’s affordable for every budget. Our flower bouquets for Valentine’s Day start at just $45, including delivery and feature a stunning selection of seasonal flowers.

We also have a mid-range bouquet for $80 and large and luxurious flower arrangements for $135. All our bouquets are uniquely hand-tied arrangements featuring a mix of locally sourced seasonal flowers and greenery to give you the best value for money.

You can also check out our single variety bouquets. We call them Seasonal Specials. They are an ever changing, carefully curated range of locally grown, seasonal flowers, bunched when the crop is at its best. Check out Seasonal Specials flower bouquets available here. 

What are the best flowers for Valentine’s Day in Sydney?

At Little Flowers, we firmly believe that the best Valentine’s flowers to deliver are the freshest, locally grown seasonal flowers we can find, fresh from Sydney farms. It’s less about the type of flower and more about where they come from, the quality and – most of all – the gesture behind the bunch. 

Little Flowers bouquets are sourced with sustainability in mind from the Sydney Flower Market, ensuring a vibrant mix of fresh, seasonal flowers that aren’t simply restricted to the old faithful, roses.

What are the best personalised Valentine’s Day gifts?

Flower bouquets with video and photo uploads are a popular personalised Valentine’s Day gift. People sometimes draw pictures or use memes for the photos. You can get creative with the videos by incorporating them into treasure hunts or using them to serenade your Valentine. There’s plenty of opportunity to get creative here!

And there you have it – ten unique Valentine’s Day flower ideas for Sydney-siders! We’re looking forward to spreading the love with you this Valentine, one bouquet at a time.
