We here at Neubauer’s Flowers want to make a radical suggestion: buy your own self flowers.

We know, we know. Typically we think of buying for others, or buying for occasions, or buying to commemorate events. We’re not necessarily in the habit of giving ourselves a flower gift, and yet, we should be. Flowers are proven mood-boosters and health preservers. It’s an important act of self-care, buying yourself flowers.

We routinely indulge in massages, pedicures, long lunches, naps, vacations. All of these things contribute to our sense of well-being, and flowers are no different. Consider the impact picking up something like Pink Pursuits would have on your soul, for instance.

Does the sight of these red and pink carnations and mums and roses convince you to pick up something sweet for yourself? We thought so. Pose these in your personal space (your nightstand, your desk) or share the good vibes in a common one. The very act of picking exactly the flowers you want is like picking out a book at the bookstore, or selecting the color you want on your toes during a pedicure. It’s a way of taking care of yourself, but it’s also an exercise in self-expression. We see both as valuable acts of kindness toward oneself.
