Pairing Pretty Blooms with Thoughtful Gifts: A Savvy Guide


No question — flowers are a total win on their own, but sometimes you want to turn up the volume to make your gift really pop. We get it, and here at Busch’s Florist — Jefferson City’s fave flower spot — we’ve got you! We’ve pulled together a list of gift ideas that go perfectly with a bouquet, whether it’s for Valentine’s Day or any other big day. Plus, we’ve got our own stash of unique presents, so you can easily add that special touch to your flower order. Between the options below and our one-of-a-kind selection, your gift game just got seriously upgraded!

Red Roses and Gourmet Chocolate

Roses are red, and chocolate is everything — do we really need to say more? Facts are facts. On Valentine’s Day, this pairing is the go-to for a reason: Red roses are love’s signature flower, after all; they boldly declare, “You’re my person,” with their stunning looks, dreamy scent, and deep meaning (love, romance, all the good stuff). And chocolate? It’s the universal language of indulgence — sweet, rich, and totally irresistible. Together, they’re a sensory power couple, hitting all the right feels.

Pink Roses and Prosecco

Red roses may be the ultimate symbol of romance, but pink roses? They bring a different vibe — think admiration, gratitude, and sweet appreciation — which we think is a beautiful sentiment. Who deserves that kind of love? Moms, obviously, the superheroes who juggle everything for everyone. Plus, pink is such a soothing color, like a soft blanket of calm, and it pairs perfectly with something edgy like Prosecco or sparkling rosé. It’s the kind of combo that’ll have Mom smiling and blushing. Total win!

Bird of Paradise and an IPA

Time to shout out Dad? Birds of paradise are perfect for the occasion, quite literally. These exotic blooms are loud, proud, and look like a wild bird soaring through the air. Reps of freedom and joy? Check and check. They’re perfect for the guy who always has your back while pushing you to fly high. Pair birds of paradise with an IPA for a rugged, chill combo or go full-on wine snob with a Cabernet Sauvignon. Either way, you’ve got a pairing that says, with conviction, let’s celebrate the legend.

Orchids and a Savory Gift Basket

Our grandparents are the ultimate role models — wise, tough, and graceful. Purple orchids (crown emoji energy!) totally capture their essence, with their royal flair and deep symbolism of respect and admiration. And because these beauties last practically forever, they’re a sweet nod to the forever kind of love we share with our grandparents. Add a gourmet snack basket packed with cheeses, nuts, and crackers, and you have a gift that’s both chic and cozy. It’s a “you’re number one in my book” kind of present.

Yellow Lilies and Balloons

There’s just something about yellow lilies — they radiate gratitude and joy like no other, making them the pick for someone who’s always there when you need them. Whether it’s Administrative Professionals Day or you’re shouting out a hardworking friend, these blooms are it. Want to give the bouquet extra meaning? Add gladiolus, the flower of integrity and personal strength. Together, they’re an all-star combo of love and respect. Top it off with colorful balloons, and you’ve brought whimsy to the party for all to see.

At Busch’s Florist, we say: why stop at arrangements? Adding a personal gift creates a duo that’s not just thoughtful — it’s totally next-level, and that’s what we’re all about.
