Who Made the Rule That Flowers Are Just for Women?
November 19 marks International Men’s Day, a celebration of the men who shape our lives as fathers, partners, brothers, colleagues, mentors, and friends. It’s a day to acknowledge their contributions, highlight their wellbeing, and remind them they are valued.
But when it comes to gifting? The options offered to men are often limited ties, cufflinks, perfumes, or gadgets. And flowers? They’re rarely even considered. Somewhere along the way, society labeled blooms as “feminine.” But here’s the truth: men appreciate flowers just as much as women do.
At House of Flowers UAE, we believe flowers don’t belong to one gender. They belong to moments, emotions, and stories. And this International Men’s Day, we’re challenging the stereotype.
Why Flowers Make Sense for Men
1. A Symbol of Strength, Not Just Softness
Flowers aren’t fragile they’re resilient. Think about the endurance of orchids, the boldness of roses, or the sturdy beauty of succulents. Gifting these to men doesn’t soften them; it amplifies their strength.
2. A Universal Mood-Booster
Research shows that flowers improve mood, reduce stress, and spark positive emotions. Men carry responsibilities and stresses of their own, a simple floral gift can be the refreshing reset they didn’t know they needed.
3. The Power of Surprise
Men expect the usual: wallets, shirts, maybe a tech gadget. Flowers break that mold. When you gift a bouquet or a plant, you create an emotional moment that stands out because it’s different.
4. Perfect for Any Space
From a home study to an office desk, flowers or plant arrangements elevate interiors instantly. They don’t just sit pretty; they create an atmosphere of calm and focus.
The Best Floral & Plant Gifts for International Men’s Day
1. Bold Roses
Skip the delicate pinks and go for deeper, commanding shades like burgundy, crimson, or burnt orange. These colors exude admiration and strength.
2. Orchids
Minimalist, modern, and long-lasting, orchids are ideal for men who appreciate sleek design. A single orchid in a contemporary planter makes a powerful gift.
3. Succulent & Plant Arrangements
For the low-maintenance man, succulents or plant arrangements are practical, stylish, and enduring. Pair them with a reclaimed wooden or matte-finish planter for a modern look.
4. Velvet Box Arrangements
Luxurious and convenient, velvet box flowers combine impact with practicality. They feel premium and stylish — ideal for gifting without needing a vase.
5. Dried Flower Creations
Sophisticated and timeless, dried flowers add character without the upkeep. Perfect for offices or minimal homes.
How to Personalize Your Gift
- Match his lifestyle: Choose orchids or succulents for men who travel or work long hours, and fuller arrangements for those who love hosting.
- Pick the right container: Think sleek GRP planters, natural wood or modern ceramics, the container is as much a gift as the flowers.
- Add a personal touch: A handwritten note with a memory, an inside joke or a heartfelt thank-you elevates the gesture.
- Pair with something small: Complement flowers with chocolates, coffee beans, or his favorite treat to make it feel tailored.
