Valentine's Day - High or Low Calorie???

Valentine's Day is approaching, so for you, I have put together some HIGH and LOW CALORIE  items that you could gift or receive. 

 Of course, me being a florist I am starting with this item first.  Not only are they beautiful to look at and the smell is heavenly, but they are very low in calories. I can almost guarantee that you will not gain a pound if you receive this gift.




This item here, HIGH in calories but always fun to receive. Every bite can be a surprise, from the delectable sweetness melting in your mouth or the instant projection reaction. 




You cannot go wrong with this gift item, very LOW in calories and also beautiful to look at . Tulips are the 2nd most popular flower to receive at Valentine's Day and are an expression of perfect love. One of my favorite flowers.





This item has no calories at all, in fact it will aid you in weight loss!! Your biceps will be getting a great work out with bare minimum  use. Just remember to switch over to your other hand frequently for a balanced workout. I would not recommend dish washing while wearing.





What can I say about this item? Looks scrumptious, smells divine and tastes yummy.  Really, home made baked goods are the ultimate even though they can be HIGH in calories.




Wouldn't this be FUN to receive!!!  LOW in calories and all you have to do is wait for your Prince to bring you  the other!!   I absolutely love this!




I found it!! Wear this on the other hand with the above ring and you'll be complete!! Caution, these items could cause injury to your partner, please remove while sleeping. Oh and absolutely no calories.





For that special person in your life. This set of tools are HIGH in calories, but can you imagine the fun when your honey asks you to bring him the 3/16th open end wrench and you hand him this!!  I'm betting he doesn't have a set of tools like these.



I want these tools!!  What is your favorite??

Valentine Poll Results

I recently did a quick poll on a Florist Facebook page. The question was, "What does a florist like to receive for Valentines Day?" I had some really great answers and they all make perfect sense, so if your Valentine is a florist, here are some of the results to help you out. 

The majority of us florists would like to have a *Massage* after our Valentines work day.  Ranging from our backs,  to our hands and all the way down to our feet. Might as well go with an all body massage!! 

Next came a *Meal* prepared by you or *Dinner* out.  Coupled with the massage, you can't do wrong.

 * Liquor and a nice bottle of Wine* was next, followed by a mini *Vacation* or day off, after our hectic day of design.

  Of course some of us want *Flowers*, we love them!! That is why we do what we do.  *Candy/Chocolate*, the good stuff! and *Jewelry/Diamonds* are close together. 

An *Undisturbed Nap/Sleep* is on our list, along with coming home to a *Clean House*. 

*A long hot bath* is also wanted by a few of the florists. Ending the list, *No Snow/Good Weather, *Cash* in bank, *More business* and *Appreciation* for the work we do. 

The final request was for a Padded room!! 

For the Ultimate Valentine Day  Experience ever...Most of these requests could be put together, minus the padded room, unless!, never mind, we won't go there.  Who knows, you may be rewarded quite nicely for all your extra effort.
