BACK TO
TOP
There are certain customs and traditions which should be observed when buying and sending
flowers and gifts to Russian ladies. Knowing and adhering to these customs and traditions helps to generate excitement and romance in courting and relationships and helps Russian ladies relate to their pursuers easily and more spontaneously. Among those things to be considered when buying and sending flowers and gifts to Russian ladies are: specific dates and occasions; what to send and when, and; colors, meanings and numbers associated with buying and sending flowers. These particulars are all detailed below.
It is important to remember that in gift-giving, romance is alive and well in Russia! While the value of romance has diminished in the west, it has gained importance in Russia. Russian ladies understand and appreciate romance better than any other, and a romantic approach to a relationship is the key to success. Because of wise-spread western-based interest, some Russian ladies receive many letters and may have difficulty selecting a specific man for a response. Sending
flowers and gifts will get a Russian lady's attention very effectively, however. Going the extra extent of sending something nice will always get your letters read and is much more likely win a response and engender Russian ladies' affections.
What to Send and When
BACK TO
TOP
(See also: Important Gift-giving Days) Flowers, especially roses (long-stem roses, in particular), are a key form of romantic communication. Transcending language,
roses and other flowers speak volumes about care and consideration. One should send at least one bouquet to his sweetheart during courting, in addition to a bouquet and/or gift for birthdays and holidays. Additionally, Russian ladies love to receive other items such as chocolates, wines and/or champagnes, fragrances and even stuffed teddy bears. [Author of this website speaking: "One of the best responses I ever received from a gorgeous young Russian lady came when I sent her a bouquet of
roses along with a box of chocolates. The stream of appreciation, affectionate and gracious thank-you's was endless!"]
Incidentally, Russian ladies who have children are impressed when a pursuer remembers them for gift-giving! And dont forget a Russian ladys mother and/or daughter on the important holidays. Sending a bouquet or single rose to Russian ladys mother shows great class and is the act of a true gentleman. It is sure to gain Russian ladies' respect. And sending a flower or special girls gift to a Russian ladys daughter will make a similar statement about your concern and thoughts for each one. After all, this may be a pursuer's future family.
Sending flowers and gifts to Russian ladies without any special reason always makes a wonderful impression. A surprise gift for a Russian lady will make her feel special and cared-for. There are, however, certain special days for which gift-giving is recommended.

Odd numbers are for romance! Sending the right number of
roses to Russian ladies is important. When
buying roses for Russian ladies in whom a romantic interest is being pursued, an even number is never appropriate as this represents death and is only used for a funerals. The most commonly-given numbers
of roses under romantic auspices are 7 and 9, although, larger odd-numbered bouquets make even greater impressions. Russian-based flower delivery services always present their rose bouquet offerings in odd numbers for love and for romantic occasions.
As a singular exception to the above rule of etiquette, Russian ladies may also receive an even number of
roses as birthday gifts when the number of roses matches their age. For example, on a Russian lady's 24th birthday, 24
roses may be given.
