Packaging is everything. Look at how Valentine flowers are
presented. There is lots of red, pink, and white tissue paper,
cellophane with printed hearts, bows and Styrofoam hearts. Use
those same ideas for your gifts. Take a red gift bag with handles.
Place tissue paper inside so it shows over the top. Place a
flowering plant surrounded by cellophane paper in the bag. If the
bag is too big for the plant to show, get a smaller bag, a bigger
plant, or stuff white tissue paper in the bottom of the bag to
raise up the plant. Add curly ribbon and bows. Your $10 plant now
looks like $100.
One more idea: Buy a lovely lush green houseplant at the grocery
store and three red roses. Ask the florist department to put the
roses into separate water filled vials that you can then insert
into the house plant. Add a bow, or hearts, and you have a lasting
romantic gift.
Red and pink are the colors of Valentine's so those colors will be
expensive even if they aren't roses. Choose white flowers and
complement them with red and pink packaging. A bouquet of white
flowers in a red or pink vase is very festive. Or use a clear vase
and a red or pink bow. Another alternative is to wrap the white
flowers in red and pink tissue paper, then clear cellophane and a
bow.
