Flowers have always been one of the most loved and offered gifts. Sending flowers is a breeze these days. You can find hundreds of stores online that will deliver the same day. However, it’s not always a good idea to leave everything for the last moment.
Here are our top 10 favorites for this Mother’s Day (tomorrow!!)
No doubt quite a few of you already know this, but one of the most relaxing past times I know of has nothing to do with watching football or boxing on television! Guys, if you really want to do yourself and your surroundings a world of good, do a little bit of gardening. Men and gardening go together like fingers in a glove and that’s why you should be — like I try to be – outfitted as efficiently as possible in order to get the most out of your gardening pursuits!
Now I realize that some of you out there are snickering right now. I mean really – the thought of men and gardening? Shouldn’t we be doing something a bit more physical like chopping wood? Trust me on this one, guys. Not only is gardening therapeutic (experts say putting your hands and fingers in dirt is actually very healthy) but as the country continues to “go green†you’ll relish the fact that you’re actually helping the environment while beautifying your surroundings.
The Best Thing to Ever Hit Your Garden!
With that in mind there is one item that never leaves my sight when I head into my back yard: my pruning sheers
My personal preference is Rugg’s ¾ inch “by-pass†pruning sheers
Whether it’s a small limb, a dozen roses or a dead branch, you’ll find – like I have – that a decent pair of pruning sheers is worth its weight in gold.
Just in time for summer – start a garden!
Next time I’ll tell you about my back-hoe. Now there’s something to really wrap your hands around!
We mentioned Speaking Roses in our 2009 Valentine’s Gift Guide.

What’s the most popular gift men give to women on the day of love? Roses of course!
Well, Speaking Roses takes “flower giving” to a whole new level! They have taken fresh roses and greeting cards, combined them and formed a new medium called Speaking Roses that will help you get your message across in a very stylish way!
Using their fantastic technology, Speaking Roses will gently print personalized messages right on the rose petal without damaging the flower. And this is just the beginning! They can also print company logos and photographs!
The roses are usually shipped the same or next day; if you’d like your message on a different flower, like tulips or lillies for example, they can do that, too!
Speaking Roses are famous for the fresh, personalized and gorgeous floral arrangements they offer and have been featured on CNN, Good Morning America, Fox and Friends, Access Hollywood, just to mention a few!
Give these flowers a try, gentlemen! Let them speak for you!
