Flowers just hit different — they’re the go-to for any occasion: Valentine’s Day, birthdays, anniversaries, congrats, “just because” moments, you name it. Who doesn’t love the fresh, feel-good vibes of beautiful blooms? They say it all without even trying. Flowers bring out the smiles, smooth over apologies, show love, and add a classy touch to any celebration. And yeah, they’re the perfect gift, but sometimes you wanna spice things up with a little something extra. Lucky for you, at Beneva — Sarasota’s top florist — we’ve got a whole lineup of epic add-ons that pair perfectly with flowers. Send one of these with your bouquet and you’ll be flexing some serious gift-giving skills!
Red Roses and Gourmet Chocolate
Roses are red, chocolate is delicious. We could stop there (you know it’s just the facts, after all), but on Valentine’s Day this combo is always the most popular. For starters, red roses are instantly recognizable as the flower that says, “I love you,” making them an obvious pick (and we’re not mad about it). They stimulate our eyes with their beauty, our nose with their wonderful scent, and our hearts with the meaning. As for chocolate, well, what’s a more beloved flavor around the world? Put them together and you’ll hit all the high notes.
Pink Roses and Prosecco
While red roses are the queens of romance, pink roses, though just as lovely, represent something a little bit different: admiration, appreciation, and gratitude. Now who comes to mind when you’re feeling all of those feels? Moms, 100 percent, who are literally the people who do the most for pretty much everyone. Pink is also a relaxing color that makes us feel warm, almost like being hugged. That softness is balanced perfectly by edgy Prosecco (or sparkling rosé, both are delish), which will definitely have mom’s cheeks blushing pink! So wholesome.
Bird of Paradise and an IPA
For a proper Dad-celebration, you need something that’s as cool as him (a tall order) — enter birds of paradise. These tropical stunners are one of nature’s most beautiful sculptures with their bold look of a bird in flight. They’re also symbols of freedom and happiness, reminding us of the pep talks Dad gives when he’s encouraging us to take on the world. Pair them with a chilled IPA to match the flower’s fun, wild spirit. Got a wine-loving dad? A rich Cab Sauv works too — so why not keep it fancy? Either way, it’s a party for the senses.
Orchids and a Savory Gift Basket
Let’s be real: Our grandparents are the embodiment of strength and wisdom, which is why purple orchids (royalty alert!) totally fit their vibe. Orchids are all about admiration and respect, and their long-lasting nature mirrors the love and legacy our grandparents bring to the table. Amp it up with a deluxe gift basket — think fancy cheeses, crunchy crackers, and savory nuts — and you have a gift that’s classy but warm and inviting. It’s the perfect way to say, “You’re cherished, admired, and forever in our hearts.”
Yellow Lilies and Balloons
Yellow lilies bring the sunshine — they’re full of gratitude, cheer, and positive feels, making them the go-to bloom for someone who’s always stepping up. Think of them for a coworker, a helpful friend, or that pro who holds it all together on Admin Prof Day. Incorporate gladiolus for a helping of strength of character and integrity, and now you’ve got a bouquet that’s all about respect and appreciation. Pair it with balloons, and it’s not just a gift — it’s a mini celebration that says, “Thanks for being awesome. This moment’s all about you!”
At Beneva, we believe every gift should feel like a celebration. Pair floral designs with a meaningful extra, and you’ve got a combo that’s guaranteed to hit the mark, every time.
