Not worth it... 7 months ago

It was a present to go with my proper present I gave him (as a random surprise) and he didn’t appreciate them.
If I hadn’t bothered finding a vase, etc. he’d have left them on the kitchen counter! I was going to buy a cheapish bunch but decided on a nicer, more expencive one however I don’t think he really cared anyway and he moved them behind his tv even after I put them on his desk.
Oh well, bit of a shame he didn’t appricate it (especailly as I’m now broke for money for the next week) but at least I made an effort.

I've found the gift to give 7 months ago

It’s a great gift for men. It’s a beefjerkybouquet. Did I say this already? It’s like flowers but jerky instead.



Because 7 months ago

I’m not sure if he’ll appreciate it but I suppose it doesn’t matter. We’re in a long distance relationship so I thought it might be a nice idea to surprise him with flowers one day…

I try to give Ky flowers at least once a season (more when we can afford it) just for being such a great husband and father. Sometimes its roses, sometimes its carnations, sometimes it’s whatever happens to be on sale. But he always loves them.

It’s always the guys giving girls flowers. I want to switch it up. Make things interesting.

It's very thoughtful, I think. 3 years ago

My boyfriend has been feeling real upset lately, due to a loss in his family. Well, I surprised him at work and brought in some flowers and he smiled with astonishment. He said he hadn’t ever received flowers before. It feels great making him happy. It really makes me happy.



It IS nice! 4 years ago

I just did this a couple days ago. He was so happy about it.

He’s been so good about changing the water and snipping the ends. It’s great when men appreciate the little things!

So worth it 4 years ago

and a nice role reversal. Although probably not something I’d do on a regular basis.



I can't remember if I've done this 4 years ago

There have been a few guys in my life where this might have been likely. Unfortunately I don’t remember well gifts I’ve given. The few that stand out would be ones of greater sacrifice or where the context was particularly emotional, as when I gave my brother our deceased mother’s school ring, one that I’d been wearing but I knew would have tremendous meaning for him.

I guess the same is true for gifts that I’ve received. The ones that are just because it is a gift-giving tradition and something, though thoughtful, is given because of the holiday it falls on.

I did receive flowers one memorable time. It was in college and my first-ever boyfriend, Herb, sent flowers before my performance in Three-Penny Opera. Oh, I was hopelessly infatuated with Herb, and the gift was a wonderful expression of his caring (or desire to have a future go). but it was profoundly affecting as a young man who was just discovering for himself romantic love and its tokens.

I had explored the potential for romantic love with a woman, and believed I’d found something akin to that at least once.
But the profound difference those feelings take on when the other is your gender ideal, whatever that may be, for me could not be understood until it happened.

So yes, I’d like to give a guy bouquet of flowers, but sadly acknowledge that any such gift will unlikely be endowed by it’s recipient with the romantic revelation of that first one I received.
