DIY Valentine’s Day Gift- A Man Bouquet

Updated on Posted on

I’m one of those girlfriends who likes making special gifts instead of just buying something at the store. I like to think I’m pretty creative, and I see birthdays and holidays as an opportunity to make fun gifts for the special people in my life. Last year, I found a fun idea on Pinterest and changed it up a bit to fit my boyfriend perfectly.

On Valentine’s Day, women typically get bouquets of flowers, but you never see men receiving them. The idea of a man bouquet, or a “brouquet”, is just genius. Instead of flowers, you can use things your boyfriend or husband likes. Some items I used were gift cards to his favorite stores, mini bottles of his favorite liquor, candy bars and more.

Here’s what you’ll need to make your own man bouquet:

Directions

  • Arrange the Styrofoam or floral foam in the base of the flower pot. You will be sticking the dowels into this to keep them anchored.
  • Tape one item to each dowel. You can cut the dowels down to varying sizes so it appears more like a real bouquet.
  • Insert the dowels into the foam base.
  • Decorate with artificial craft grass or something green to cover up the foam.

  5. Holy crap I love this so much. I usually end up getting the boy pajama pants because he never buys them for himself. He’s really started to look forward to it, but this is sooo fun I might have to throw it in there to change things up a bit!
