What do you say when giving a gift just because?

Speak from the heart! Let your recipient know who is sending them flowers and why, even if the reason is "you're on my mind." Here are some messages to write in a "just because!" card along with your flowers: Hope these flowers brighten your day! Just because I love you. Have a fantastic day, [Name]. Remember to stop and smell the roses! Sometimes the best reason for flowers is no reason at all. Enjoy!

Is it okay to send flowers anonymously?

We recommend against sending flowers anonymously, especially in cases when you are not already in an established relationship with the recipient. Anonymity robs the recipient of being able to properly thank you and can be unsettling.. But that doesn't mean you have to be formal or stuffy – feel free to use a nickname or mention an inside joke to give them a strong hint!
