i
think
it
depends.
for
vday
it
is
a
rip
off
and
soooo
over
done
-
no
thought.
it's
like
the
default
(unless
he
KNOWs
you
love
flours
and
gets
your
favorites
-
obviously
different!)
my
hubby
has
gotten
me
flours
but
yeah
i
would
rather
he
pay
attention
and
surprise
me
with
something
i
never
really
thought
he
was
paying
attention
to
that
i
wanted
and
figured
i
would
never
get
LOL
but
then
who
wouldnt
want
that?!
i
can't
complain,
i
wouldnt
know
what
to
get
me
either!

I
love
getting
flowers
but
would
rather
get
them
just
because
he
was
thinking
about
me
or
saw
them
and
thought
I
would
like
them.

I
adore
flowers.
For
me,
they're
always
worth
more
than
the
money
spent
for
them.
Some years ago I was overworked, overstressed and depressed. I bought myself flowers to remind myself of all the beauty in the world, and to remind myself to see the beauty in my life. It helped! Flowers are pure beauty... "Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.' from Keats, Ode on a Grecian Urn When I die, I want the announcement in the paper to say "Flowers preferred in lieu of donations" - I want my funeral filled with flowers! For that one moment I want everyone to experience that beauty, however fleeting, just like life itself. For me, flowers are the perfect gift - always!

I
love
flowers,
and
my
hubby
brings
them
home
on
random
occasion-
which
is
delightful!
We both agree that giving flowers for vday is a cop out, more of a lazy gift idea. He liikes to be creative in giving me gifts, and puts a ton of thought into it not necessarily a ton of money. This past moms day he wrote me a song from our boys. the best gift i ever got! when he does bring home flowers, we both also agree that the florists are such a rip off! he will go to the small corner markets and buy a bunch of flowers for 12-$15. Very sweet. Our first Vday 10years ago he sent be a huge bouquet from a florist that must have cost a fortune- I flipped out. He said he wasnt going to do it, but his mom said All Girls Should Get Flowers on VDAY. hahahhahah She is sweet.

I
like
getting
flowers.
I
especially
like
getting
them
as
a
surprise
(non
holiday).
My
husband
sent
flowers
on
the
last
day
with
my
old
company.
The
card
with
the
flowers
said,
"To
the
start
of
something
new...You'll
be
amazing."
I
was
leaving
the
company
and
having
our
2nd
child
a
month
later.
I
didn't
know
when
I'd
get
to
go
back
to
work
or
where.
Flowers
like
that
are
what
I
like.
heels 8th Feb
I,
too,
love
flowers,
but
I'd
rather
get
live
ones
for
the
garden.
I
don't
have
to
worry
though-
my
husband
has
NEVER
given
me
flowers!
momof2lovelies 8th Feb
I
agree
with
you
all.
I
tell
my
husband
not
to
get
caught
up
in
sending
the
DZ.
roses
but
he
still
does
it
every
year.I'd
much
rather
everything
stated
above
and
we
can
put
the
money
elsewhere.
I
can't
get
mad
when
they
come
because
I
look
ungrateful.
Part
of
me
thinks
it
is
an
easy
fix
for
valentines
day...quick
dial
up..and
it's
done
for
you.
My
husband
is
last
minute
mickey
all
the
time.
OH ...I got it...I'll print this out and leave it on his desk chair. Do you think he'll get the very large hint?Of course cutting out the last minute mickey part.

I
would
rather
he
make
me
dinner,
clean
the
dishes
afterward,
and
then
let
me
go
to
bed
early
and
sleep
in
the
next
day.
That
would
make
any
flowers
smell
that
much
sweeter!
:o)

Flowers?
I
love
growing
them,
I
love
tending
to
them,
and
I
love
having
fresh-cut
flowers
for
the
entry
way
table.
As
far
as
receiving
flowers
from
hubby?
Although
I
appreciate
the
thought
that
goes
behind
receiving
flowers,
it's
hard
for
me
to
justify
the
expense.
I'd
rather
him
take
the
money
he
would
normally
spend
on
a
flower
arrangement,
and
plant
me
a
flower
garden
where
I
could
enjoy
them
all
the
time.
Now
THAT
would
get
my
attention!
Pammy 8th Feb
I
have
always
told
hubby
that
just
one
rose
means
just
as
much
-
and
a
rose
for
no
reason
means
more
than
a
dozen
for
a
special
occassion.
When I worked away from my hubby I did enjoy having flowers to look at while at work and remind me of him, but now that we are in business together - a hug and a kiss is just as nice! |
