The Best Flowers for National Girlfriend Day

A Quick Look at National Girlfriend Day

While it’s not an official holiday, it’s become a popular day to show love, support, and gratitude. The exact start of National Girlfriend Day isn’t totally clear. Some say it began in 2004 by a blogger named Mistress Susan, while others credit Allie Savarino Kline and Sally Rodgers, who helped launch it in 2006 as a day for women to celebrate their female friendships.

Over time, the meaning has grown. Now, it’s also a sweet opportunity for romantic partners to surprise and celebrate their girlfriends, because love and friendship often go hand in hand.

Why Give Flowers for National Girlfriend Day?

Let’s be real, most girls love getting flowers, and there’s science to back it up.

In a well-known study by Rutgers University, women who received flowers showed genuine happiness right away, and the good mood lasted for days. The flowers made them feel appreciated and brought a sense of joy that stayed with them even after the surprise was over.

Another study by the University of North Florida found that flowers help lower stress. Women who got flowers felt more relaxed and had lower anxiety compared to those who didn’t receive anything or got other kinds of gifts.

So it’s not just about how flowers look, they actually make people feel better.

On National Girlfriend Day, giving flowers is a simple but powerful way to show love and support. That small moment of care can leave a lasting impression, just like she does in your life.
