Birthday present question! Will give points.?

Okay, so some might have noticed I've asked whether or not to give my friend that's a girl a stuff your own teddy bear, that would match the theme of her kitchen and living room for her b-day. (I'm stuffing it). I will give it to her no matter what! I feel I should give a nice card too.





A few have suggested giving her flowers. Great idea, but I've heard that you should only do that if you're dating. We are not dating. We are just simple friends that are co-workers. We are not real close, but we've been on a few dates. I'd like to do something nice for her, because she's been really good to me.





Back to the card, homemade or store bought? What kind of message? I just want to keep it friendly, but I also want to show her how thoughtful I am and how much I care about her. Giving it to her shouldn't be hard, I'm just a little nervous that it won't go over to well.





What should I do about a card and flowers?

Birthday present question! Will give points.?
WOW! I really think a teddy bear and a handmade card would be perfect. Flowers are still wonderful, no matter what occasion. When making the homecard just say what you want to say.. [how you feel that moment, living that moment]





i seriously think this is sweet of you!!!





well hope we helped...
Reply:ok this sounds like u want to be more than just her friend but nonetheless i'll help


card store bought but with a create ur own message and if u are not very good at the whole expressing the way poets do then get her something u like (in the greeting card) that u would have written but couldn't because your no Robert Frost.


The teddy bear is the way to go because flowers imply too much.
Reply:Flowers are always a lovely present. I mean, so long as they aren't roses they shouldn't send out the wrong messages. If you went to a florists you may be able to get what you want added to it, or ask someone at the florists what they recommend.





What kind of person is she? Sentimental? I personally love home made cards, but I'm more creative and appreciate little touches like that. Sometimes those artsy cards with just a photograph on the front and blank on the inside are nice for writing your own personal message. Might balance out the flowers a bit signals-wise.





Do something from the heart, don't worry about it so much! You're her colleague and friend, she will appreciate anything you give her, I doubt she'll analyse absolutely everything :)


Take care
Reply:yes card, no flowers. I think she will like the bear. probably should buy the card unless you are wanting this to move to a more personal level
Reply:why not buy both? if you're not dating, then you shouldnt make the message sound too intimate. I prefer store bought cards only cuz im neither artistic nor creative enough to make my own homemade one. say..Dear whomever,....happy birthday...thanks for always being there for me and helping me through every step of the way...stuff like that. idk.
