When I think about Valentine’s gift baskets, I think about tradition. Good old tradition seems to lurk around every corner. Yes, there are lots of traditions that get passed down to us over many generations and there are many reasons why these things become well known traditions.
However, the most important reason is that they are known to work. They have weathered the test of time so to speak and have proven that they are effective. And besides as humans we just like tradition.
Now, there is one tradition that definitely isn’t an exception to that rule that seems to play itself out every February 14 on Valentine’s Day and that is the giving of a beautiful bouquet of one dozen red roses. Which by the way can be greatly enhanced by adding these lovely roses to a Valentines gift basket. But I’m getting a little off track here.
So, why exactly 12 and why the color red you may be asking. And I just happen to have a very good answer to this question for you.
Speaking of traditions, red is well known for it’s connection to passion and great love. And the number twelve is the traditional number of constancy.
…There are 12 months in the year
…There are the 12 Powers of Man
…There are even 12 signs of the Zodiac
…And don’t forget the 12 Days of Christmas
And what could make a better Valentine’s Day gift than something that inspires and conveys passion and constancy? Nothing more than 12 red roses, of course, becomes our answer.
Okay, so most of us know that red stands for love and passion but did you know that roses symbolize courage and respect? Wow, when you think about that concept in combination with the meaning behind the number twelve and the word red you can really begin to see why this has become such a powerful tradition for such a long time.
When you put all of this information together (just think passion, love, respect and constancy all rolled into one Valentine’s Day gift), you definitely see how 12 red roses can send a very powerful message to someone special on Valentines day.
And like I said before add in a lovely Valentine’s gift basket with lots of red wrapped goodies (Think gourmet chocolates, bath and spa items, massage oils or aromatherapy candles here.) and your gift will surely speak louder than words while conveying all of these great sentiments with your own special passion and style. And you can look forward to a very romantic evening indeed.
Oh and don’t forget, this holds true whether the gift is for the woman or man in your life. Yes, men as well as women just love being pampered on Valentine’s Day.
See, I told you I had a very good answer for you.
On this oh so special day of the year for all the lovers around the world, you will be bombarded with many, many choices as to what to send. But just remember this, you will never go wrong if you follow this old tried and true Valentine tradition and send 12 red roses to that special someone in your life, whether it’s a new found love or the absolute love of your life.
And don’t forget to accompany your lovely roses with one of the many choices you will find in the way of Valentine’s gift baskets.
Now you’re talking over the top special and then some!

However, to be truly unique don’t just stop there… keep going and add some special treats to your St Valentine’s day floral gift basket. Include the gourmet candies wrapped in shiny red paper for sure but how about some romantic mood music by including a CD from your lover’s favorite artist.
Maybe hide a gorgeous piece of jewelry among the flowers or candy treats. Why not even include an antique music box. Or for that man in your life you could include tickets for his favorite team with the promise to go with him and hide them in the flowers.
Putting together a truly unique St Valentine’s Day gift basket is fun and really much easier to do than it seems. You can start from scratch and put everything together for yourself or purchase a simple gift basket that is ready made and add your own special Valentine gift ideas that your soul mate will remember forever.
When most of us think about Valentine’s Day we think about gifts given by men to the special women in their lives. But it really is just as important to think about giving a special gift to that man in your life and Valentine’s Day gift baskets for men are a fantastic solution.
You can get so creative with gift baskets for men and it’s truly fun to choose items you know your man will absolutely love.
