subject: Flowers Convey Our Feelings Like No Other Gift Can [print this page] It is often said that gifts and tokens of appreciation in a relationship are akin to stoking the fire on a cold winter evening - they act as impulses that keep the relationship going. Some people pay a lot of emphasis on the cost of a gift - 'the costlier the better' seems to be the mantra for them. It is not necessarily so. A gift is a gift. It need not be a 50 quid affair; it is the thought that counts. And flowers say it better than a diamond necklace in most instances; they bring cheerfulness, lend a personal touch, come cheap, represent bonhomie, enliven the day, represent sharing of joy on a happy occasion and add a dash of colour in the lives of the recipient.
Since times immemorial they have been considered as one of the most elegant and desirable gifts that could be given to a woman. These are one of the nicest gifts of all and widely regarded as one of the kindest gestures in a relationship. Even a small bouquet presented with love makes the day for the recipient. And when presented to a lady, they make the occasion memorable, invoke a joyous feeling in her heart in the manner of their presentation and make her feel special and wanted.
A gift of flowers symbolises a variety of issues not only by the gesture, but also by the variety of their colour and fragrance. These radiate happy emotions, bring smile to the faces, spread lasting happiness, heighten feelings related to satisfaction from life, reflect a caring attitude of one who is thoughtful enough to gift these, make a personal statement, invoke sentimental responses and make a positive impact on the social behaviour of the recipient. It has immediate as well as long term affects on moods, social behaviour, emotions and promotion of an overall sense of well being in female as well male recipients.
A flowery gift conveys not only joy, but also romance, joyous feelings, celebration, and hence fills the emotional vacuum in a relationship. It generates richness in the heart and convey one's emotions in a manner in which nothing else can. Floral arrangements convey coded messages by allowing people to express their feelings which in any other case would have been difficult to express in words. This gift is the nature's way of enhancing the mental and emotional health of the recipients by lifting their spirits and emotional health.
The ancient Greeks considered flowers to be the property of Gods and conveyed eternal love and tenderness. And the modern society still believes in their magical touch to either strengthen a relationship or heal it. Ages apart, but the feelings are the same. Floral gifts represent our higher and deep rooted feelings and emotions. They express our emotions over the entire spectrum of our relationships with our fellow human beings - be it our love in a budding romance or a means of expressing our sorrow or condolence on bereavement.
