Power of Giving Flowers

Rutgers University researcher Jeannette Haviland-Jones, Ph.D., director of the university’s Human Emotions Lab, explored what the gifts we choose say about who we are and whether they affect how we are perceived. The research reveals that those who send flowers, in comparison to other gifts, are viewed as successful, caring and emotionally intelligent people. More specific findings include
  • Both men and women who give flowers are perceived as happy, achieving, strong, capable and courageous people;
  • Men and women come across as more emotionally intelligent; they give the impression they can effectively express their feelings and take time to understand the feelings of others;
  • and Female floral gifters are viewed as more appreciative of beauty and nature
“Flowers have evolved to activate positive emotional responses from people,” says Haviland-Jones. “Each bloom has the potential to put a smile on our face and sway our opinion of a friend, colleague or loved one. That’s powerful.”

This Month is National Make Someone Smile Month---
Make them smile buy sending them a bouquet of flowers and see how easy it is to make someone happy.

Fathers Day

Father's Day, contrary to popular misconception, was not established as a holiday in order to help greeting card manufacturers sell more cards.
In fact when a "father's day" was first proposed there were no Father's Day cards!The first Father's Day was observed on June 19, 1910 in Spokane Washington
In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father's Day. Finally in 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day.
Father's Day has become a day to not only honor your father, but all men who act as a father figure. Stepfathers, uncles, grandfathers, and adult male friends are all honored on Father's Day.

Men enjoy receiving flowers too. Why do you think they send flowers? It's the same reason that they like to  give perfume. They love the scent and the extra beauty it gives to the person who receives it.
