It's Not Too Late! These Valentine's Day Flowers Will Get There in Time

Let’s get the obvious out of the way—your life is busy. Like, crazy busy. Between family and work and kids and friends and juggling what feels like one million responsibilities, it can be hard to remember the small things that make all those relationships in your life so fruitful. Meaning: We get why you forgot to send a card to your mom this Valentine’s Day or to pick up a small prezzie for your best friend who just got dumped. (By her loser boyfriend who you never liked anyways—this is something you’re actually celebrating just a little bit.)

The good news is that it’s not too late to send flowers to the people you love most. Maybe it’s your wife and you want to make her cubicle a whole lot brighter today. Or maybe it’s your neighbor who’s been having a tough time lately. You don’t have to be in a relationship on Valentine’s Day to send a bright bouquet to someone. The whole point of this day is to take a beat to acknowledge the friends and family in your circle who make your crazy busy life worthwhile. And if you have a sneaking suspicion that your husband forgot this holiday altogether, feel free to #treatyoself to a beautiful arrangement as well. Below we’ve gathered some traditional (red roses!) and nontraditional (fruit!) options that will go a long way in telling your loved ones just how much you love them in return.
