“It is better to give than to receive.” Surely, you’ve heard of that phrase before. For people who believe in the power of karma, this is easily explained. If you show goodness to someone, then you get goodness in return. When you send gifts to the Philippines, you will receive gifts – sometimes in physical form, and others take the form of something else – a loyal friend, a beautiful life, a profitable business.

With the end of the holiday season, life is now backing to normal. Classes have started and people have gone back to work. For many families in the Philippines, life is so much more cheerless as some of their loved ones have gone back abroad. For us, Filipinos, this is the very embodiment of the cliché “to give is to receive” – we give up our happiness so that our families can become happier. We go abroad and live with the homesickness and loneliness so we can give our families the things that they deserve.

Unfortunately, a balikbayan box or money transfer isn’t the only thing that your family needs. Whose going to great your wife “happy birthday”, “happy Valentine”, “happy anniversary” and “happy mother’s day”? Who’s going to hug your son and say “congratulations” when he passes his board exam? Sometimes, money is not everything that much we know. What money and material things cannot achieve surely, flowers can. Send flowers to Philippines and make your family happy. Send them flowers and give them this simple token of love.

In a recent study conducted by the Human Emotions Lab, it was found that people who send flowers to Philippines are those who are successful, caring and emotional intelligent. Men and women who give flowers have the same characteristics – they are happy, achieving, strong, capable and courageous people. They are viewed as emotionally superior as they are able to express their emotions and they also take the time to understand the emotions of other people. Females who avail of flower delivery to the Philippines are those who are most appreciative of beauty and nature.

Furthermore, the study found that you can actually influence the behavior of other people through the gifts that you send them. For many OFWs today, one problem is that a lot of their children are insecure and can have attitude problems. This can be attributed to the fact that their family is not in a normal setting. There’s only one parent who guides the children and the much needed female or male influence may be lacking.

But the situation is not hopeless. Fact is, there is a way you can reach out to your family back home. When you have flowers delivered to your home, you are ultimately saying that you’re thinking about them all the time and that you love them. When you send flowers to your children, you can teach them about passion, happiness and all the higher values of life. But that isn’t everything.

Studies have already proven – flowers make people happy. I’m pretty sure your families are lonely back home. Send them a little love – send flowers to Philippines today!
