Want to surprise and delight your man? Buy him flowers. Before you balk at stereotypes, you should know: According to studies, men would love to receive flowers, but most floral deliveries are overwhelmingly still given to women.

Studies have long shown that receiving flowers makes us joyful, more satisfied with life, and more connected to the world around us—and this affects men too. Behavioral research conducted at Rutgers University discovered that men who receive flowers become happier, more communicative, and appreciative. Still, our culture lags behind in this practice. Enter: the This Bud’s For You bouquet.
