Be creative when sending flowers.

You’re an old fashioned kind of guy, and you’d like to send flowers to your lady-love this Valentine’s Day. There’s nothing wrong with that, especially if you pump some steroids into how the flowers are sent. Remember, it’s all in the delivery, dudes.

Below are some ideas to boost the point value on the blossoms:

1. First of all, never send your lady flowers at her house where she receives them alone. Not if you have the opportunity to send them to her work or any other place where her girlfriends and coworkers can see them delivered to her.
2. Is your Valentine also your wife? Then get down to the florist and bring her the same flowers she carried down the aisle on her wedding day. If you need to, find a picture of her bouquet and bring it with you to the florist. If you’re really romantic, you could have the entire bouquet re-created.
3. Here’s a huge point-scorer. When you send your lady flowers, send a second bouquet  - to her mother. Thank her mom for bringing your lady-love into this world. Don’t forget to send her mother’s flowers in front of people – she’s a girl, too.
4. It may sound cheesy, but we women just can’t resist a man in uniform. Rent one and show up with a bouquet in hand. I’ll tell you right now, you can’t go wrong with a fireman’s or officer’s uniform.
5. And finally, if you’re in love with a gardener, bring her flats of cool weather annuals like stock, primroses or cyclamen. Trust me; she’ll appreciate you bringing her flowers with the roots still attached.
