Order by Noon for Same Day Flower Delivery
There are some really obvious moments and life events that call for flowers. Birthdays, Valentine’s Day, and anniversaries are obviously the big three. But the arrival of a baby, the start of a new job (or the end of an old one), and showing sympathy during someone’s grief are also pretty high on the ‘why we give flowers’ list.
It’s socially acceptable to send flowers for these reasons. But why restrict yourself to only these reasons?
Multiple physical and mental health studies prove that giving flowers benefits the giver and the receiver. So why not ride that high as often as you can?
Gifting flowers ‘just because’ is perfectly fine.
14 reasons to give flowers just because you can
You’ll find reasons to send ‘just because’ flowers in the little things that occur in everyday life. Whether it comes from a happy memory or the need to apologize for something, there are plenty of reasons why you might want to get someone a bunch of ‘just because’ blooms.
1. You were thinking of them
Whether you see them every day or once in a blue moon, there’s nothing wrong with sending someone flowers and a card to let them know you’re thinking about them. We’re social creatures. We need connections. And letting someone know you’re thinking about them may be just the connection they need that day.

2. To celebrate an achievement
Why should life’s big achievements get all the attention? Small wins often take just as much energy and mental strength to complete. And they can provide a great sense of accomplishment.
To give you an idea of what I’m talking about, a small yet significant everyday win that warrants flowers could be:
- opening a bank account for the first time
- checking everything off a to-do list
- clearing out a room or cleaning the house
- completing a five-mile run
- passing an exam or test
- finishing a book.
3. Because they’re a great friend
Conveying how you feel about a friend isn’t always easy. You don’t get the same opportunities to let them know you care about them or love them that you do with a partner or family member. Sending flowers lets them know what they mean to you, and that you value their friendship.
4. As a pick-me-up
Receiving flowers can boost compassion levels, evoke a genuine smile, and reduce stress. If you know someone who needs a pick-me-up, send them flowers. You could even do it as a random act of kindness for a stranger. Either way, your gesture could really brighten their day.
5. Because their favorite flowers are in season
As an eco-friendly florist, we try to create arrangements that leave the smallest footprint on the planet. An easy way to do this is to use flowers that are naturally in season. (Being in season means they’re easier to cultivate and more readily available.) If your recipient has a favorite flower, make the most of the season they’re available by sending them bouquets and arrangements that include that bloom at that time of year.

6. To tell them you love them
Whether you find it hard to say “I love you” or you can’t verbalize it right now, you can still get your message across with flowers. A dozen red roses traditionally represent those three little words. But don’t feel you need to limit yourself. If particular colors or flowers will do a better job of symbolizing your affections, send those instead.
7. For encouragement
Do you know someone who’s about to face something that’s really going to test them? Perhaps they have an upcoming job interview, are embarking on a fitness-related challenge, or are recovering after an accident. Whatever it is, send them flowers to show they have your full support.
8. You need to apologize
When you’ve got a bridge to rebuild, an apology and a small token to say “Sorry” can help. When it comes to ‘I’m sorry’ flowers, a simple yet carefully styled arrangement will reflect your thoughtful and meaningful apology nicely.
9. You have a favor to pay forward
If someone recently bought you flowers, you might be tempted to send them another bunch to say “Thank you.” But why not widen the circle of gratefulness instead? Pay that floral favor forward by sending flowers to someone else you know. (Think of it as a chain letter but without any of the nasty curses.)
10. Because they love social media
Indulging in some pretty grid time can feel good. (We really do get it.) So if someone you know is a social media sweetie, and loves to post gorgeous photos to their grid or timeline, give them some fresh content in the form of beautiful blooms.
11. To say thank you
Saying “Thank you” is more than just being polite. It also helps people feel positive and builds strong relationships. Couple that with the benefits of sending flowers (as I mentioned earlier), and you’ve got some next-level gratitude going on.
12. To acknowledge a tough time
Life can be really hard sometimes. And as a society, we’re pretty bad at acknowledging the rough patches. We tend to focus on the good times. (Yes, toxic positivity is a thing.) If someone you care about is facing a trying time that’s hard to talk about, let them know you’re aware of what’s going on by sending them a simple ’thinking of you’ flower arrangement.
13. You miss them
When you don’t have time to (or can’t) call or message, let them know you miss them with a bouquet. (And it’s totally okay to miss someone you saw only yesterday.)
13. You miss them
When you don’t have time to (or can’t) call or message, let them know you miss them with a bouquet. (And it’s totally okay to miss someone you saw only yesterday.)
14. You’re excited to see them
When you can go from missing someone to knowing when you’ll see them again, celebrate your happiness. Whether you’re being reunited, or getting together for a holiday, sending them something to let them know you can’t wait to see them can help build the excitement.
Top tips when choosing your ‘just because’ flower arrangement
Your reason for sending ‘just because’ blooms can help you decide what flowers to include in your arrangement. For example, if you’re sending flowers to tell someone you love them, red roses are the obvious choice. But what if you’re sending them to a friend? Would red roses still be appropriate?
Having been a florist for nearly 25 years, here are some of my fail-safe tips to creating a beautiful bouquet of ‘just because’ flowers.
Choose bright blooms
Whether you want to lift someone’s mood or send them positive vibes, bright, colorful blooms are the way to go. Sunflowers, yellow and orange tulips, and vibrant greens will get your message across.

Flowers of friendship
Different flowers can represent different feelings and emotions. While this idea has been around for centuries, it was popularly documented during the Victorian era. (Look up ‘Floriography’ if you’re interested.) Flowers that represent friendship include:
- yellow and orange tulips
- yellow (not red) roses
- chrysanthemums
- sunflowers.
Size matters
When you send flowers, you’re sending a message. So before you settle on an arrangement, think carefully about why you’re sending them and what type of person you’re sending them to. I say this because receiving a huge bunch of flowers out of the blue (that probably cost a lot) can make some people feel uncomfortable.
Always include a card
The wonderful thing about ‘just because’ flowers is they’re usually a surprise. And as you now know, they can be sent for many different reasons. So give your gesture context by including a sentence or two about why you sent them.
