A long stemmed rose, a bouquet or basket of flowers…. No matter what the presentation is, receiving colorful blooms is enough to make any woman smile. And believe it or not, there are also some men who don’t mind receiving flowers. If your significant other doesn’t like receiving flowers, then maybe a nice indoor plant would be an appreciated gesture.
