If I had a penny for every time someone said, “What am I supposed to do with flowers? You should have just given me money instead”—I’d probably be as rich as Elon Musk.
Flowers have been a timeless way to express love, gratitude, sympathy, or simply to brighten someone’s day. You’d think with all the emotions they carry, people would appreciate them more. But oddly enough, the opposite seems to be happening.
So, why do some people think flowers are overrated?
They Don’t Last Long
The most common argument against flowers is that they wither too quickly. “Why spend money on something so temporary?”
But that’s exactly what makes them special. Their fleeting beauty reminds us to cherish the moment—like a sunset, a great meal, or a heartfelt conversation. Flowers aren’t meant to last forever, but the feelings they evoke do.
They Feel Like a Lazy Gift
Some people think flowers are an easy way out—what you get when you don’t know what else to buy.
But here’s the thing: gifting flowers actually takes a lot of thought. From growing and harvesting to selecting the right blooms for the occasion, every step requires care. And when chosen thoughtfully—maybe a bouquet of their favorite flowers or one that carries a special meaning—it shows effort, not laziness.
So, Are Flowers Overrated?
If they’re given without thought, maybe. But when chosen with care—paired with a heartfelt note, chocolates, or wine (like we do at SincerelyYours Flowers), they become something truly special.
Flowers aren’t overrated. You just haven’t ordered from SincerelyYoursNg yet.
