It is no secret that flowers have a positive impact on boosting your mood, delivering happiness, and reducing stress. Thanks to a 10-month long study by Rutgers University, the benefits that we have been taken for granted are now scientifically proven.

Of course, these kinds of studies are always our favorite, but we find that it’s now more important than ever to share the results! These results prove that the gift of flowers isn’t simply a gimmick. The gift of flowers is a SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN way to share your love

1. Immediate Impact on Happiness

First of all, flowers have an immediate impact on happiness. All study participants expressed “true” or “excited” smiles upon receiving flowers, demonstrating extraordinary delight and gratitude. This reaction was universal, occurring in all age groups.

2. Long-Term Positive Effect on Moods

Secondly, flowers have a long-term positive effect on moods. During the study, participants reported feeling less depressed, anxious, and agitated after receiving flowers. Moreover, they demonstrated a higher sense of enjoyment and life satisfaction!

3. Make Intimate Connections

Lastly, flowers make intimate connections. The presence of flowers led to increased contact with family and friends.


Science shows that not only do flowers make us happier than we know, they have strong positive effects on our emotional well being.

-Jeanette Haviland-Jones, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology at Ruters University

In conclusion, all of this information clearly shows how important it is to be mindful of your gifts. One simple gesture can have a huge effect on your favorite people! It’s now more important than ever to share a gift of happiness and we can’t wait to help.
