8 Valentines Day Gifts for Him That Hell Actually Use



Potted plants can be just as lovelyand they last much longer than cut flowers. An orchid is a classic and elegant option, while a primrose, which is not actually a rose at all, says, I cant live without you (totally true for most of our friends).



Mini botanicals are a playful and affordable alternative to bloomsand they can often be used in some of your lucky recipients favorite recipes. Pick up a bunch of sage, rosemary or thymeat about $5 a piece, theyre a steal.



That shade of any variety (not just roses) is more expensive than other colored buds on Valentines Day. Why not go all white? A few bunches of babys breath in a tall, cylindrical vase make a sweet statement.



Even ho-hum flowers can look special if you present them well. And a chic vase is something your friend can use forever. We love this blue and white number with a gilded bottom from Anthropologie or you can spray paint a mason jar if youre DIY-friendly.



Tulips are nearly as iconic as roses. Theyre also in season right now and, if you happened to wait to the last minute, you can probably grab a bunch at the supermarket, no sweat.

Skip the roses and follow this pro advice to give your friend less expected (and much less expensive) blooms.

Flower-giving isnt a one way street on this particular holidaybut choosing blooms for your friends or mom or sister can be a little more complicated for sure. Obviously roses are out of the question (and cost a small fortune this time of year.) We chatted with Caroline Bailly, founder of New Yorks [LAtelier Rouge](http://latelierrouge.com/) to get some non-garden variety ideas.
