No! It's flowers! Flowers are an extremely versatile gift with a universal appeal. Both men and women, old and young, appreciate a bright, beautiful, fresh gift of flowers no matter what the occasion. When other gifts have been forgotten, people remember the flowers they've received and whom they were from. In fact, flowers are among the most favored gifts that people receive. In a recent survey, flowers consistently ranked at the top of the list. The survey showed the following results: * Best "I love you" gift: 37% flowers/houseplants, 34% jewelry, 5% perfume or cologne. * Gift most likely to make you smile: 26% jewelry, 23% flowers/houseplants, 12% event tickets. * Gift most often given to apologize: 49% flowers/houseplants, 10% jewelry, 8% event tickets. * Gift that makes you feel most special: 33% jewelry, 24% flowers/houseplants, 10% clothing. * Gift most often given: 38% clothing (also the most frequently returned gift at 65%), 12% flowers/houseplants, 10% food. * Favorite occasion to receive flowers: 30% no special occasion, 20% Valentine's Day, 14% Anniversary, 12% Mothers' Day, 10% Birthday. * Percentage of people who gave flowers in the last year: 58% (35% of women surveyed gave flowers to men last year). * Who gives the best gifts: 56% significant other, 11% mother * Best gift to get from a business associate: 34% tickets, 16% flowers/houseplants, 10% food. Perhaps one of the reasons we enjoy giving and receiving flowers is that they are so easy to fit to anyone's personality. The gifts we remember most are those that were uniquely personal to us, and flowers can very easily be made personal. Your florist can help you pick the perfect arrangement based on the personality, likes, and dislikes of the recipient. Then, he or she can even help you build in the person's favorite hobby. For example, if the gift is for a man who loves fishing, your florist can add fishing lures to the arrangement to make it an angler's dream. Superman may be able to accomplish a lot of things, but it's probably easier to get flowers to make a house call. Just pick up your phone, stop in at the local flower shop, or log on to the Internet to order some flowers today. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Wesley Berry is member of the American Academy of Floriculture (AAF) and President of Wesley Berry Flowers (http://www.wesleyberryflowers.com), a successful multi-million dollar floral business that was established in 1946.
