Jilted? Ghosted? One Florist Is Offering To Make This A ‘Prick-Free’ Valentine’s Day
No one ever asks to be cheated on but, unfortunately, it happens. It has to be especially painful if the cheating is discovered any time near Valentine’s Day. That’s why a florist in the UK is offering a special rose promotion for victims of cheaters: a “prick-free Valentine’s Day.” Get it?
One of the UK’s leading online florists is giving away dozens of thorn-free rose bouquets to those who’ve been the victims of cheaters or have been ghosted. The “prick-free Valentine’s Day” promotion from Arena Flowers is designed to offer some comfort during what can be an emotionally challenging season.
In addition to the roses, Arena Flowers is also giving away boxes of the removed thorns, or “pricks,” if you will. The recipients of those can decide how they wish to use or dispose of them. For example, you could scatter them symbolically outside your ex’s front door. Or under the cheater’s tires. Let your imagination run wild.
Arena Flowers is also generously offering free prick stripping tools to remove thorns from any flowers. The promotion is open through February 13th to jilted lovers in the UK who sign up for Arena Flowers’ newsletter. Sadly, something tells me this might be popular.
Top Reasons Why People Love Being Single
Creating Your Own Routine
You can dance to your own music when it comes to scheduling. Single people can create a routine that works for them. This includes consistent meal times, bedtimes, and events. You never have to consider your partner’s schedule. You can even pick up more hobbies, like weekly trivia or a class you’ve been wanting to try. For better or worse, your time is your own.

Less Money Stress
If you’re single, chances are that you don’t have to worry about spending money on anyone else but yourself. You can keep your money for yourself and use it for a solo vacation or a rainy day fund. Not to mention, you no longer have the financial obligation of buying someone a nice gift for birthdays, and couple-y holidays like Valentine’s Day, Sweetest Day, or Date-a-versaries.

Well, Hello Free Time
Single people get more freedom. Without the obligation of another person in your life, you’ll have more time for activities. One of the many perks of being single is just having space and time to focus on yourself and emotional needs. You even get a chance to know yourself better during the added free time. Use your time the way you want.

It's All Mine!
Single people don’t have to deal with the phrase, “Let me try some” while eyes are glaring at their plate. That’s right, you don’t have to share a thing. Another food benefit of being single is taking advantage of not conforming to someone else’s habits or preferences. You can try a new diet or completely indulge without the extra commentary or worrying about someone else’s needs. You don’t have to worry about if the food you like is off-putting to your partner.

Binge Your Fave Shows, Without Waiting
Watch what you want, when you want without the worry. Many couples like to watch a new TV series or movie together. But Heaven forbid you tune in without your partner. That’s one way to start an argument. So, if you’re single go ahead and binge that new Marvel series without looking over your shoulder. Also, you don’t have to sit through shows or movies that you don’t care for, because your partner wants to. Watch what you want!
