Every holiday has its traditions, and Valentine’s Day is no different. For lots of people, V-Day is unimaginable without a box of chocolates, a candlelit dinner, and of course, a bouquet of flowers.
All those traditions are great, but nothing is for everyone. But what if a particular tradition just isn’t your cup of tea? Or what if you like a tradition, but you’re just sick of doing it year after year after year? Buying flowers on Valentine’s Day might feel pretty trite after a few decades.
If that sounds like you, luckily you have options. These days, all sorts of things besides flowers are sold in bouquet form. Here are 15 bouquet alternatives that will definitely shake February 14th.
