Can anyone give me a good suggestion for flowers on a birthday for a girlfriend other than roses?

try orchids ... they are beautiful, simple and elegant ... also, consider a potted (or other type of potted arrangement) as fresh cut flowers will only last about a week or two (if you're lucky) and she will have it longer





another idea may be chinese bamboo - it's different and may not be "romantic" in the traditonal sense, but can be very symbolic of the wish you have for her (each number of stalks has a different meaning) and they are very easy to take care of ... they come in an array of containers surrounded with rocks/pebbles (you can also customize your own) and you just make sure you water it.

Can anyone give me a good suggestion for flowers on a birthday for a girlfriend other than roses?
Orchids are good, but rather expensive and rare to find in your average floral shop.





You might try just getting an arangement made up from flowers that are her favorite color - my husband did that for our anniversary once when we were dating. I loved it.
Reply:lotus are the most elegant, also expensive and extravagant.





Ask her what she likes and buy them for her. If not lotus, daisies, or chrysanthemums are good
Reply:my favorites are sunflowers... try tulips also, they're really classy... and if you still think roses, pleaaaaaaaase NOT red roses... that's so cliche
Reply:lillies or orchids and they come in heaps of different colours so you can customise as to what she likes.
Reply:Try and find out her favorite and see if you can get them airbrushed her favorite color
Reply:If you can afford it, orchids. I know they're my favourites. If not, take the safe route and give her white lilies.

Is it ok to send ur guy friend flowers for his birthday?

Just wanna know if its considered 'normal' to send him flowers.

Is it ok to send ur guy friend flowers for his birthday?
my wife buys me flowers often i really find it sweet, but some guys just dont like it, carefull
Reply:yes but make it a bit jokingly nots he may think otherwise and avoid u or giv u weird stares or boast to his fren he got anader gay fren...
Reply:absolutely, When my wife and I were dating she did it and I loved it.
Reply:yes. it's OK.. but I would prefer something that would last longer.. or be more fun...
Reply:thats whack
Reply:yes, why not? if he is stupid he will think that you are in love with him!


:)))
Reply:Thats kind of girly I think.





Try RedEnvelope.com and select recipent for him and then favorites. That stuff is really nice and not that pricey.


Should I send my guy friend flowers to his job on Valentines?

Simply something I'm considering! We've been seeing one another for about 3 months, and he sent me flowers on my birthday and gave me a really awesome Christmas present. Would it be awkward to send him flowers rather than vice versa? Also do you think he'd be annoyed at getting them in front of his coworkers?

Should I send my guy friend flowers to his job on Valentines?
yeahh. kinda depends on the guy. i asked my boyfriend if he'd ever want me to send him flowers and he said 'its always nice to get a present from a girlfriend'.. then again im not sure if id send them to him in front of his co-workers. i wouldnt want to embarass him. when i asked him this he said 'are you kidding? then i can rub it in their face that not only do i have an awesome girlfriend, but she cares enough to send me flowers %26amp; they have nothing!'





:) it might be fun to laugh at later! i would do it just because this isn't 1950 %26amp; girls can play the "guy role" sometimes.
Reply:Most men don't go for flowers, but my dad is the only one who I know who absolutely loves them, he has about 12 gardens and gives my mom boquets all the time. Most guys are not flower arangers like my dad. Although one of my best friends Matt knows what the flowers mean, each one has a meaning, but not many people do. And even if they do they might not be all that thrilled to get flowers. The three best guy gifts I know that are universal are:


1.A zippo lighter


2. Anything dangerous, zoom, boom, and bump in the night


3. Homemade Cookies (siriously, I have never met a guy that does not LOVE to get cookies!!!)


don't get him deoderant or cologne usually, they might think you think they stink, which is not good
Reply:flowers are so expensive, I have sent flowers to my husband before, he liked them, but really didnt mean the same to him as they do to me, he appreciates other stuff instead, he would much rather I spend the money on something like going out to eat, the movies.
Reply:It depends on where your honey works... construction site? Definitely do not send him flowers. Professional office with mostly men? Definitely do not send him flowers. Professional office where he is the only man? Sure, send him flowers.





It's a really sweet and thoughtful idea, but I don't think that most guys really get excited about that and might be embarrassed instead. If you really want to give him flowers, I recommend a single rose delivered by you to his home. :-)
Reply:no, it will emasculate him
Reply:As a man I think it would be a sweet thing to do but he will probably get a lot of crap from his coworkers for it.
Reply:Maybe it is just me, but you just dont get a guy flowers, especially in front of his co workers! It is a very sweet idea, but if you wish to show him you care for him just buy your self something sexy and wait for him to get home.... That is all the more we want for valentines day lol
Reply:No.. send him some lingerie... COOL
Reply:Wouldn't bother me, I would say go ahead.
Reply:Don't do it. My wife brings me flowers home every once in a while and that's cute, but sending to his work is a little overboard.
Reply:no going ahead and send the flowers
Reply:Depends on where he works. If he's in manual labor, he'll never live it down. If he works in an office, or is a professional, that would probably be okay. BUT be sure you pick the right kind of flowers. DO NOT send a bouquet of roses, or other spring flowers. Send a simple orchid, or a Japanese inspired arrangement with antheriums and bird of paradise. Flowers can be very masculine when arranged correctly. Some orchids are very exotic and come in unusual colors like brown.
Reply:Honestly, I think that most men would NOT like that.
Reply:Send him beer flowers. This is a nice basket with beer %26amp; snacks versus traditional flowers. Of course it will be wrapped in cellophane so it won't be all taboo with alcohol at the job.
Reply:Yeah Send him the Flower's in his Job
Reply:it depands !!! if he is conservative or an openly person. Some people really wants some special things to happen in special places and its all about the timing.


Guess in 3 months u know much better what kind of a person he is, so its upto you...good luck.


My Personal feeling - i feel little embarassed to receive flowers infront of my collegues, i would choose to receive it elsewhere where two of us are together n having a wonderful time !!!
Reply:i think its weird to send a guy flowers


get him a really nice present
Reply:I think they would tease him about it...I wouldn't take that chance..he might get embarrassed.
Reply:what about take him to a dinner and watch movie
Reply:I personally wouldn't get a guy flowers...my boyfriend's coworkers would give him hell about it for weeks! (I know them) I get my boyfriend stuff that lasts a while longer. I get him gift certificates so he can work on supping up his car or 4-wheeler. I think that if he has a hobby and you get him something that he can use towards it, it will show how much you pay attention and he'll appreciate the thought that went into it!
Reply:I think his friends would rag on him but if he is the boss go girl with your bad self..
Reply:Guys love that sort of thing to happen . I wouldn't make a habit of it or do more than once but he's gonna love it that one time. He'll feel like a big deal in front of his co-workers...works like a charm from my experience!
Reply:I think it is a sweet idea and I would do it to my boyfriend. Why not?





I am sure your guy friend would smile and who cares what the co-workers think.
Reply:I think its a GREAT idea! Will you send me some too?
Reply:I would probably be more inclined to surprise him with a card or something with like dinner reservations or something inside. That would probably be less awkward and more meaningful, too.
Reply:THAT WOULD BE NICE, AS DIFFERENT AS IT IS WHEN I GOT THEM AT WORK THE FEMALES WERE LIKE AWWW, THE FELLAS REALLY DIDN'T SAY MUCH, I THINK THEY WERE JEALOUS!! GO FOR IT!!
Reply:okay get him a wtach he should give you flowers and remember always wear protection
Reply:Sure, I have received flowers at work.


Follow it up with a fax so everybody knows.


He'll love it.
Reply:I think you should go for it girl!!


Should I send my Ex-fiance a Birthday gift or flowers?

My fiance, whom I dated for more than 4 years broke up with me in June, 5 days before our wedding, I thought we had an AMAZING RELATIONSHIP and would do anything for her. Needless to say I was completely and utterly devastated. She told me she needs to find herself and her individuality, and that she was depressed. I miss her more than words and it is now January, and it is her birthday next week. Should I send a gift, I don't know if it's the right thing to do, I did go out with her for 4 years. What should I do?

Should I send my Ex-fiance a Birthday gift or flowers?
I completey disagree with all these folks. Sounds like these chicks want you to be a doormat.





Absolutely send flowers... And a gift in an oversized box! Make an incredably big scene of it. Get the ballons too. An oversized card with very lovely writting. Have it delivered to someplace where there will be a lot of "her" people. The more people, the better! And, you do not have to spend a lot of money either.





Now here is the important part. Do not take her calls nor talk to her. Do not respond to her text messages. NOTHING!





You are too busy. Make a date and be out on it. Even if your date is with a firehydrant. It is none of her business who you are with.





If she sees you, hurry past her, smile and tell her you are glad she got them... "But, I am just running so late right now. I will talk to you later..." But do not.





The more you do not want her, the more she will want you.





You are the guy on the move, upwardly mobile... going places (and here is the important part) without her!





Let me know how it works out.





Good luck.
Reply:PLEASE... Don't waste another penny or another moment on her. She has made her choice. I know it is hard. I know you are going to think of her all the time for a while. But everything you do for her will just make things that much harder for you. Don't drown yourself in wishful thinking. Let go, my friend.


Peace be with you...
Reply:send her flowers and a cute little card. what's the harm? you'll probably get a smile out of her at least ;)
Reply:The Wrong Answer Again sounds genious to me!
Reply:Do you still keep in touch with her? If she has severed all contact with you, I would probably recommend NOT sending her anything. If you two are still cordial and keep in touch every now and again, you could mail her a card that simply says "I hope you have a great birthday!" If you send her flowers or a gift, it might send her a message that you're crowding her again and the last thing you want to do it make it seem like you want to smother her. Good luck!
Reply:No gifts. Let go.


OK... what's the subtlest way to hint that you want flowers for your birthday?

I hate to ask directly for things, you know. :-)

OK... what's the subtlest way to hint that you want flowers for your birthday?
Here is a tip for all you ladies, subtlety, works with women, it does not, I repeat, does not work with us guys.


If you want flowers, for your Birthday, tell him so. He will be delighted, that you took a burden off his mind, trying to think up something nice.


Men are simple and direct creatures, just come right out with what you need and want, we sure will appreciate it, please ladies.
Reply:How about buying yourself a bunch a month or so before hand and remark how lovely they were. If you also mention that a local shop has reasonably priced flowers, this will seal the deal.
Reply:Put an empty vase on a table, fill it with water, take person(s) to vase and ask "Whats missing?" and tell them to buy something to put in the vase!!!!!
Reply:Just casually mention to people that you'd be very happy if someone send u flowers this birthday. The ones who care would do it.
Reply:guys dont do subtle. you have to smack him over the head with it.
Reply:YOU WANT FLOWERS FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY?





Don't you know they're going to die? What the hell kind of a thing is that to want for your birthday?
Reply:why do you want flowers? For your birthday!!!!!
Reply:Hey, guys often miss things that are subtle. Come right out and say how much you like a certain flower and that you'd love to have some to brighten your special day. Otherwise be prepared to have him miss the hint...
Reply:i got this one for u...i would say simply and sweet...Did you know so and so got flowers for her b'day, they where so sweet...or if u work...Did i tell you that so and so got flowers delivered to him or her for his or her b'day, omg everyone was talking about it!


I hope that helps...it always works for me...i hate asking for things directly!
Reply:talk about how much u love flowers.
Reply:when you two go somewhere together you could stop and smell some flowers and say something like-- ohh i love flowers,, but i dont wanna but them for myself....
Reply:Make sure to say little comments like :





"I LOVE getting flowers for special occasions - it makes me .... " ( you can feel in the blank )





Maybe he'll/she'll get the idea and get you some ! haha it works sometimes for me.
Reply:the subtlest way would be to say..."i love those flowers" to him...very subtle to guys, and it's very secure for the ladies that they will be getting the right ones...

Who should carry the flowers in these situations?

1) A girl has bought flowers for her boyfriend'birthday. They are meeting at a restaurant. She gives him the flowers. When they finish, he walks her home. Who should carry the flowers?





2) A boy has bought flowers for his girlfriend. They meet at a restaurant. He gives her the flowers. When they finish, he walks her homme. Who should carry the flowers?

Who should carry the flowers in these situations?
i think whoever was given the flowers should carry them. why would you accept a gift just to make someone else take care of it for you? (not you, but "you" as in people in general)
Reply:1)Girl should not give guys flowers.


2)the girls should carry the flowers unless they are too heavy, they boy will help her carry them.
Reply:In both situations, whom ever wants to carry the flowers.
Reply:the recipient
Reply:Whoever was given the flowers should hold them.
Reply:It doesn't matter. He can if he wishes... she can if she beats him to it.
Reply:Whoever receives the flowers should hold it. The guy in situation one and the girl in situation two.
Reply:who cares?


What kind of flowers should I buy for my dad's birthday?

Lilies?rose or what? What flowers should I buy?

What kind of flowers should I buy for my dad's birthday?
how about a big balloon bouquet, sent to his work. Our father got a big kick out of it when we did it - talked about it for a long time. They thought it was pretty cool at his work also.
Reply:Buy a bottle of red wine that are within a bouquet of sunflower... it will be bright n sunny with somethg useful Report It

Reply:What is his favorite,,, You can not go wrong with roses.
Reply:I would not buy flowers. I would go the fruit basket route, or order him a special food basket, with imported snacks.
Reply:A Jade plant. If it has to be flowers then, a mixed bouquet of mostly greens, with some beautiful orange %26amp; yellow hybrid lilies, red carnations and a sunflower.
Reply:Try a fruit basket instead. Most men don't care to receive lilies, roses, etc. You can always go with a green houseplant, too.
Reply:A bee infested cuctus!
Reply:Carnations will suffice
Reply:I think a bouqet of sunflowers tied with a fat green or brown ribbon would be nice, not to "girly."


I have a friend thats a girl, and id like to get her flowers for her birthday. WHat kind of flowers do girls?

what kind of flowers do girls like? and what flowers symobize friendship?

A yellow rose is for friendship if you want to give her a rose...
Reply:Well, if she is just a friend, don't get her roses. Get her some daffodils, daisies, tulips, etc. The color should also be white because that symbolizes friendship. (By all means no red!) Good luck!
Reply:GET HER A MIXED BOUQUET..





THEY ARE COLORFUL, AS WELL AS BEAUTIFUL.





ALWAYS PROPER. YOU CAN'T MISS.





YOU CAN GET A SMALL, MED OR LARGE BOUQUET WHAT EVER YOUR PRICE RANGE IS TOO. THAT IS ALWAYS A NICE FACTOR.
Reply:I suggest a few yellow roses....they mean friendship. Lilacs are also nice. Nothing red. Red symbolizes romance/love/lust...........and so on.
Reply:Girls do love flowers, that is a thoughtful gift. Your pretty safe with anything except red roses, which symbolize love. I like star gazer lilies, they smell great and are pretty but sometimes make a mess. Carnations are nice in different colors, they last long and are inexpensive. Go to a floral shop and have them put something together with flowers that are in season. You really can't go wrong here.


An ex-friend that I havent heard from in years just sent me flowers for my birthday. How should I respond?

She betrayed me to "get ahead" and acted as she did nothing wrong. She doesn't admit any wrong-doing on her part and was very nasty at the end of our "friendship." She was a user and bad-mouthed me to people in order to make herself look good. Now after years, I hear from her out of the blue cuz she's riding high. It is strange and I wonder why after all these years.

An ex-friend that I havent heard from in years just sent me flowers for my birthday. How should I respond?
Thank her. Do not worry about what other people say about you, just respond in kindness and things will work itself out. If you thank her, and be nice to her, then she looks bad by bad mouthing you.
Reply:she wants u back dude if it sounds good go for it
Reply:Time to forget she sent them and place her on your lifes block list!
Reply:Probably she is just trying to showoff to you how much she has gone ahead of you. She should have called if she were really thinking about appologising.





The nicer thing to do is send her back a thankyou card.
Reply:Maybe she sent you the flowers to try to make amends for what she did so many years ago. I would thank her for the flowers and then you need to decide if you can put what happened between you and her behind you. I know that it is difficult to forgive her because of what she did to you. I have been in your shoes before and chose to forgive the other person because it happened a long time ago. Do what you feel is right. Good Luck!
Reply:she's feeling guilty. maybe she changed who knows... why don't u talk with her?
Reply:sounds like she is sorry for the way she treated you, as u said it was years ago you should phone her to say thank you and make a mense.... no point in holding a grudge, even if she did hurt you. xxxxxxxxx good luck
Reply:Yeah I had a friend just like that and if I ever would receive anything at all from her I would just throw it away. It would not be worth the heartache of having her back into my life again.
Reply:sometime in a person's life, she comes to a point where she remembers all the nasty things she's done and all the precious friends she lost because of her nasty ways. maybe this ex friend of yours has reached this point and wants to make amends on what she has done. maybe she has come to realize how precious you are to her and she wants to win back your friendship. the fact that she remembered your birthday is a sign that you have been an important part of her life at one time. how do you respond? well, a simple thank you and a warm hug would erase all the bad feelings and memories that hppened. open your heart to forgiveness as long as she is sincere with it.
Reply:Just write her a letter and say thank you for the lovely flowers on my Birthday I am glad you have not forgotten me after all these years.


Ask her her reasoning and write about your suspisions of her wrong doings if she responds back to you. If she does not respond then you know she is trying to get in good with someone you are close to now and does not want them to know about what she did.


Sometimes people do this. If she responds then she wants to be friends again.
Reply:Sounds like maybe she's feeling guilty about hurting a friend and wants to make ammends.
Reply:She's probably grown up and matured some since that incident and now feels bad. You should either write her a thank you note back or give her a call. Express how you feel - don't hold back. See if you hear from her again. She may be truly sorry. :(
Reply:i guess that take it as a gift and move on or trust ur gut and if you think that she wants you back
Reply:Send a thankyou note. Enjoy the flowers. Get over it.

If your hubby sent a birthday card or flowers to another woman?

On her b-day would you get angry?

If your hubby sent a birthday card or flowers to another woman?
Unless it was to a female relative (and an older and/or unattractive one, at that), I'd think there was something fishy.





1. Men hardly remember to get cards for their own wives, so if they are getting them, it is for someone significant.


2. Flowers are a very intimate gift in North American culture, second only to lingerie.


3. Telling a spouse about another person or event does NOT suddenly render that person or event harmless.
Reply:card no big deal.


flowers hell no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





let her loved one send flowers. not your husband.
Reply:HELL YEAH I WOULD BE SOOOOOO MAD.... IF U R MY MAN U R NOT GOING TO BE SENDING ANOTHER WOMAN ANYTHING.....
Reply:wow... such a friendly gesture! you have all the right to get angry.
Reply:No big deal
Reply:YES YES YES, if it wasent a group of people all putting together for workmate ect. sounds very fishy to me.why would he take the trouble. i never heard that a man and woman can remain just friends, unless of course shes a family friend of both you.
Reply:I wont get angry. I know him well and he is trustworthy. He never ever go to another lady with a bad idea of flirting.
Reply:Depends on the situation. Is she someone who will send business to him? Are they really really old friends? If she is just someone he "knows", then the red flag should go up. I would be pissed either way actually. If my husband is sending anyone flowers it better be for a funeral. He has never been one to send flowers. Go with your gut.
Reply:Nope... shouldnt have- You know in your heart how you feel about this-- does it feel shady-- or does it seem correct--


a close friend or neighbor? Or the cute lady at the gym?
Reply:That depends...was it his mom? Because you're asking, I take it she wasn't the woman who changed his diapers all those years. Be angry, but don't explode. Just let him know you're hurt and you'd like to know why.
Reply:If the women is not family... and u vaguely know her... I would say he cheating.
Reply:it depends in the situation like if shes a close friend of u guys and if he told u about also if he doesnt do the same or better 2 u then i might. it all depends u know. but i would
Reply:Depends. How well does he know her, stuff like that. But on the plus side - he did tell you so it's not like he was trying to be secretive.
Reply:then take what he said to heart and make sure he knows that you want flowers on your Bday
Reply:of course no,if u love ur hubby u know he'll never hurt and make u angry
Reply:Depends on how close of a friend they are .... and if they are really that close, you would have met her %26amp; would be feeling fine about the flowers %26amp; card thingy....





If you're not comfortable, then get angry... what you waiting for?!?!
Reply:If he told me he did, I wouldn't see a problem. He is being honest. If he did not tell me and I found out on my own, I would be a little suspicious.
Reply:birthday card... no big deal..





but flowers? that's crossing the line. unless its like his mom or his sister.. no way
Reply:I would be pissed big time!
Reply:yes definitely i wouldnt like to share my love with any other one else especially woman!for me he cud be cheating and will obviously tell u its a friendly gesture,be on ur guard there could be more behind ur back.nowadays we cant trust blindly.b strong dr
Reply:Well, she may be his good friend.... so no harm... be fran and ask him if u have doubts.... in a friendly manner of course not like questions...... are u having an affair etc,,,,,, in a subtle way say don't mind it i just want to be sure and this came into mind and i am just speaking my mind... lets just talk,..... we are friends and i hope if there is anything u don't like about me and i don't like about u we'll tell echother..... so we have the right to tell eachother......... and then u can tell him that u may be right in sending flowers to her but i don't really like the idea... i hope its a friendly gesture right and nothing else? if he is an intelligent guy he will get the idea and will definately tell u that its just flowers nothing more rthan that.... and if he is cheeating on u... then he may blast.... so see for urself.... if things go out of control tell him to just keep quite and try to woo him with all the best qualities u have give him more attention try to look sexy all the times nd pep up ur life... try different things to have sex... tell him that u want him..... sex is one of the languages of love... so try it out.... see u r his wife he can run but can't hide..... try to bring all ur real sself out.....


What kinds of cut flowers last the LONGEST?

I know carnations and alstroemeria last long, but are there any others? Estimations on days of life?





What flowers don't last long at all?





This is for ordering flowers for a relative (birthday) thru teleflorist.





Thanks!

What kinds of cut flowers last the LONGEST?
carnations mandolins lilys orchids
Reply:i would say Gerbera flowers they are very cute and last long you will love them,,, just like me lol
Reply:This is always hard. I have found sending a plant or dish garden with a few carnations placed, just to add color always makes a well received gift.





Once the cut flowers die away the plant still lives giving much pleasure to the recipient.





Personally I just love getting roses, even though they die away, they are always beautiful, and smell delightful.





Mixed Spring Floral Arrangements are good also. Things will die away gradually, while others survive for a little longer.





It is so close to Christmas, how about a poinsettia.
Reply:It bothers me that flowers don't smell any more. Maybe for the sake of people with allergies. IF allergies are not a problem you could order flowers requesting that the bouquet has fragrance. I just ordered some for my daughter on her BD. She said the fragrance filled her home. I usually try to call a local florist where ever the person lives so I can get personal service. They still give you the same prices as if you called teleflorist or FTD. Plus a $3 or $5 tip will insure you a beautiful bouquet. Nice to speak directly to the people who are going to put the bouquet together.
Reply:teleflorists may not give great flowers in the sense of durability. Why not send a potted plant they are more hard and last longer
Reply:tulips are pretty hardy for your yard. A boquet of roses is the most meaningful and prettiest to give someone , but will die in les than a week. Carnations are pretty and last a bit longer.


It's my Mom's 65th birthday this Sunday, I always buy flowers or plants, I need different ideas for a gift

Want would you suggest.

It's my Mom's 65th birthday this Sunday, I always buy flowers or plants, I need different ideas for a gift
If you had the time, you could have gotten her a Mother's ring, that have the children's birthday gemstones in them. (Maybe for M. Day.)
Reply:Anything written from your heart ... my son wrote me something that I will treasure forever ! You'll do well !
Reply:ha..depends on what's falling apart...maybe buy a new purse, new wallet, a housedress (or jeans or whatever she wears around the house, or slippers or just comfy shoes), maybe a battery and plug in radio (she should already have flashlights), maybe a new HD tv or pay for the digital box she might need. Does she do crafts? then maybe she needs something from Michaels craft store (take her there...my mom once took me to K-Mart and let me buy what I wanted and I bought blouse material and a candy fish). Does she need earphones, a cam or a scanner or printer for her pc? Is there anything for security that she needs? Since she's moving into a new phase maybe there's something from her past phase you want her to remember like maybe in a frame, or a collage in a frame. I have 8 beautiful flowers from Michaels that look real and I continually enjoy them (two colors of roses both buds and flowering and some poenies).
Reply:Take her on a special shopping trip .Let her pick something special. Maybe purchase a visa card in advance so the amount of money will not be an abject.Moms love spending time with their children.That's what is important.Maybe lunch afterwards.
Reply:Gift certificate for a meal or a spa day. Tickets to a play. Year's pass to the movies or a year's rental of dvds. Spend time with her if you're nearby , take her to dinner or brunch or shopping and you pay for it all.





Wish her a happy sixty fifth!
Reply:Take her to a nice restaurant and treat her like she's a queen which, of course, she is.


Enjoy every minute you possibly can with your precious mother and I hope this birthday turns out to be one of her happiest and most joyful ones ever
Reply:If you have always bought some kind of flower you need to do that because since you have always done this I would...send flowers and have them special delivered to her home and then plan a special enening together just you and her either take her out or make her favorite dinner.Spending time in a special way will be the most important gift you can give her.If you have time or the means take her out of town for the weekend.Enjoy your Mom while she's still here.
Reply:I love everything my children give me because it tells me they love me and are thoughtful.





A pretty bracelet or necklace is nice. It doesn't have to be expensive. You can buy nice jewelry for the same cost as a flower arrangement.
Reply:i would go with wine and a cheese tray!!!
Reply:If you were my child, and you really wanted to get something for me that I need, I would request a decent wine opener. I have never bought one that really works. There are some kind of expensive ones that are easy to use, but I won't spend the money. I wish my kids would get one for me. This of course, won't be appropriate if your Mom doesn't drink wine. Otherwise, stick with the plants. We all love them.
Reply:She is a woman.





Buy her a nice bottle of her favorite fragrance...or indulge her in a really fine and luxurious body lotion.





Give her a gift certificate at a day spa or at a local salon for a massage and make-up makeover.....





Let her know that you recognize her as woman first, mother second.





Trust me, she'll use it.
Reply:what a photo montage of your fam... hobby lobby has frame sets or some frames sort of together.

Reply:A Digital Keychain it's the new brag book.....she or you can load it up with pictures of family or travel .....or a Digital Frame for the home......
Reply:I would suggest a lunch or dinner out at the restaurant of her


choice. Followed by a little birthday cake that could be pre-


sented afterward with a candle for her to blow out. Some


restaurants will have staff sing Happy Birthday in addition to


the cake, or a cupcake. You will have to make arrangements


with the manager by phone to get it set up though. The 65th


is a special birthday, as she's definately leaving her youth


behind. So it should be marked with something to make her


really happy. I will be celebrating my 65th this September, and


I hope I can be surprised on that special occasion myself.
Reply:I'm older then your Mother but flowers are just so beautiful, I always love when I get flowers. So how about flowers and taking her out for dinner.
Reply:Take her to dinner at a nice restaurant like Outback or Olive Garden.
Reply:That number 65 is a magic number. Spoil your Mum a lot. If you can afford it (and if she likes it) buy her some good perfume! Or, take her to dinner and make the waitstaff aware that it is her birthday,. They will probably sing Happy Birthday to her during desert! Or if you have a limited budget, why not get her a really nice Birthday Cake from Baskin Robbins ( the ice cream kind)! These always go over well. Any jewelry, or clothing is another welcome gift. CJ (I just turned 66)!
Reply:YOU PROBABLY KNOW BETTER THEN ANYONE ON HERE WHAT YOUR MOTHER LIKES OR DISLIKES ARE, BUT MAY I SUGGEST IF YOUR DAD IS THERE, THAT YOU TAKE BOTH OUT FOR DINNER, IF NOT BE PREPARE TO LISTEN ALL ABOUT WHAT YOUR DAD IS DOING OR NOT DOING.
Reply:Out to eat what she likes


Take your camera..ask someone to take a picture of her %26amp; you.


Give her a nice soft pair of PJ's %26amp; beautiful card.
Reply:There's this new photo frame you can buy that holds a bunch of pictures and displays them like a slideshow. It changes pictures automatically. I would buy it and upload a bunch of pictures from her childhood or the kids and grandkids, or wedding pictures. My neighbor got one for her birthday and can't stop talking about it. She LOVES it, and has it in her living room. All her friends want one, including me.


Best way to preserve flowers during a drive?

I'm going on a four hour trip with a friend of mine tomorrow and we're driving back to her house--thing is, I have a bouquet of flowers saved for her birthday and want to give them to her when she picks me up. Would they be okay sitting in the backseat in the heat, or what kind of measures should I take to keep them from getting ruined during the drive?

Best way to preserve flowers during a drive?
You can put a small amount of water in a Ziplock type of bag. A little will do. Put the flowers into the bag and put a rubberband around it Set the bag with the flowers in a heavy upright pot and set the whole thing on the floor of the car. The flowers should stay fresh.
Reply:Keep them secure in the FRONT seat where they are closer to the air conditioner. Flowers kept in the hot back seat will wither and wilt. Make sure they are freshly cut and well-watered.
Reply:Wrap the flowers loosely in plastic wrap then


put then in a cooler. This will keep them nice and fresh. Good luck.
Reply:Ice water. I took flowers from Las Vegas to Phoenix in beer buckets full of ice water, packed in a box so they wouldn't fall over. They lasted for days after that!

actually, instead of ordering over the internet, i would find a flower shop in her area and order there. most places will take credit cards over the phone.

I sent flowers for Mother's Day (whoa, gotta get started for this year) with only a week's notice, and they were on time and perfect.


My Mom and Grandma took pics of the arrangements and sent the pics to me- that's how impressed they were.

Franipani flowers for a girls birthday???????

i'm a guy and i know my friend for the last 8 months


we don't live near each other but we talk online every few weeks (and we're both single) and i'm going to fly over and visit her for her birthday and i was going to get her somme of her favorite flowers and say happy birthday and i hope you have many more beautiful and fantastic moments to come in romanian as a surprise (she's romanian) is this a good idea how should i give them to her and say the line.


what is a good way to do this without it being over the top or not make it weird for her.





i'll take all the help i can get





serious answers only girls will she like it?

Franipani flowers for a girls birthday???????
Of course she will like it.





That is one of the most original and beautiful ideas I've heard for ages.





Go for it!!!


GIRLS, ok if GUY friend gives you FLOWERS for your birthday?

sweet or awkward? if guy actually has crush but girl doesn't know; flower given among other things like shirt, cake; would you think the guy likes you? in general, what'd you like for your birthday from a guy friend, supposedly platonic?

GIRLS, ok if GUY friend gives you FLOWERS for your birthday?
in my opinion, it is sweet, meaning he is truly your friend who wants you to be happy and enjoy your birthday.





but it depends on what kind of flower it is. if he gives you something of your favorite kind, that's fine, but if he gives you roses and with those meaning attach to it, like single or three red rose, that means he loves you. so better watch out.





when my best friend remember that my favorite flower is daisy, he gave me that while we are on vacation, and i still cherish the thoughts up to this day. he usually give me cd, shirts, books, dvd movies, hair accessories and the most memorable is our friendship ring. what a guy and i love him dearly...
Reply:If I got flowers from a guy for my birthday, I'd definitely think they had a crush on me. From a friend with whom the relationship is strictly platonic, I'd want something like a CD, or a gift card, or something lame and silly. (Think dollar store: Play-doh, straw spoons, bubble kits) But, I'm a 16 year old girl- I don't know the ages or particulars of your situation.
Reply:FLOWERS are a good option as a bday gift . flowers are given practically for all occassions.
Reply:I think it IS possible that he means it in a friendly way, but not likely. Guys tend not to be that way toward someone they think of as a friend. It also depends on what kind of flowers too.
Reply:I would think that the guys likes me... can't really say what I would want from the guy though.. hmmm... moneY? hahaha.. so there will be no dead weight loss!
Reply:They're fine. Just be sure to ask the florist for a small, simple vase of flowers that in no way sends the message of romantic intentions. Maybe in the Get Well Soon or Best Wishes aisle.
Reply:I don't like stuff for my birthday.. hugs and smiles are the best





if any dude gave me flowers for my birthday, I would only think of it as him being kind
Reply:If he gives you flowers, he DOES like you. Once you get the flowers, you know (regardless of what he says).
Reply:i would love flowers. haha. appreciate them.
Reply:If I got flowers for my birthday from a guy friend(which I have) I would think of it as a very sweet ,thoughtful present.If he likes you more then a friend you would just know. Flowers(and diamonds) lol are a girls best friend after all.
Reply:No such thing as a platonic guy friend. Sorry. But it's the truth.


Birthday Card Message with flowers for a love?

Im not very good with words, so I was wondering if someone can articulate this better for me, but i basically want to send this girl flowers and let her know in the card not exactly that i love her, but hinting at it, but also something very simple. something sweet. give me some ideas? please?





P.S. I know, if i love this girl i should be able to think of something on my own, but im just not very well with words

Birthday Card Message with flowers for a love?
You should go to a confectioner and get a cookie or chocolate or cupcakes with her name on it, and send it with flowers. That would be so sweet.

Does anyone have any homemade decoration ideas for a mexican birthday party for a 9 year old that we can make?

I want to make my own mexican birthday party decorations for my daughter's 9th birthday party. Maybe flowers, pinatas, etc.

Does anyone have any homemade decoration ideas for a mexican birthday party for a 9 year old that we can make?
Here is a site for the tissue flowers associated with Fiesta decorations they can also be made with holiday wrapping paper for sparkle: http://www.enchantedlearning.com/crafts/...


The Pinata is easy to make with paper mache and a balloon then make the last 2 layers with crepe paper for color you can also use water balloons to make smaller versions of these entirely of crepe paper and place them over patio lights as festive lanterns(safe as long as the bulb is not touching the sides use a bit of wire to create a secure u shaped brace. Use lots of crepe paper streamers and cover the table with bold colored table runners. If you are especially crafty use the Crepe squares to make a fiesta garland, cut silhouettes out of the crepe squares and string across a clothes line or string - you could even cut out Feliz Cumpleaños (Happy Birthday) and don't forget to have small streamers strewn on the table and lots of balloons. Have Fun!
Reply:Buy colored tissue paper and green chenille stems from the Dollar Store or other discount store and make BIG colorful flowers: cut squares, pinch them in the middle, gather a bunch of them and wrap the chenille stem around the pinched ends.
Reply:You could make paper chains in the colors of the Mexican flag. My niece's fiesta party had colored Christmas lights strung up and it looked very festive! We did the pinata %26amp; had a Mexican hat dance contest. The kids had a blast making up a dance to include the sombrero.
Reply:how about tiny sombreros?


Please Read!! Should I send flowers for Ex-Girlfriend's Birthday?

My Girlfriend broke up with me in June after dating for over 4 years. She stated that she needed to find herself and is vey depressed at the present time, and that a relationship is too much to handle at the moment. We tried to stay friends during the summer but she got EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE. We haven't spoken since September, I miss her more than anything everyday, and love her so much. Next week is her 27th birthday, should I send flowers or just forget about it? Mutual friends of ours tell me that she asks about me a lot

Reply:There is no reason why you can’t send her flowers but be clear in your own mind about what message you are sending with them, and no I don’t mean hand written on a card !


You miss her but does she miss you?


Asking about someone and wanting to be with them again are two different things.


Send them with an open mind and no great expectations.
Reply:just send flowers nothing else that could creep her out in away. cause you both haven't talk to each other . or on the other hand it could respark her interest in you to know that after all that time you still care

Oh, and don't forget the pretty glass container to display it. It's a great way to enhance your home décor and reuse a birthday bouquet.
Reply:You have some good answers. I'm going to guess they don't have much of an aroma. When they get dry and you have mushed them up, buy some essential oil. It comes in a great number of scents. Use them when they don't smell any more.
Reply:Just put them (you can use just the petals if you want to) in the sun, or in the open air to dry. I did this as a kid all the time! :D


Is it ok to send flowers to my boyfriend at work for his birthday?

We have been dating for 4 yrs and he's got me flowers twice in that time. He is not a real sensitive guy but I thought it would be a good gesture to send him some flowers on his birthday at work so he realises how it feels. I'm only concerned if he does not feel more embaressed than happy about it.


He works in a small office and is in finance. Everyone there is pretty much suit and tie. Nobody has received flowers at his office so far. I just want to get some advise from other folks because I don't want him to become uncomfortable with the fact that I sent him flowers.

Is it ok to send flowers to my boyfriend at work for his birthday?
Some guys like it but I really don't think I would. He will most likely get teased because that's just what guys do. I mentioned sending my hubby flowers one time and he said that I BETTER NOT! It was funny. Big macho guys can't be getting flowers at work! Haha
Reply:I sent a boyfriend of mine flowers for once at work, but I asked for tiger lilies to be sent, and not roses or anything pink or too pretty. (Some of the more architectural flowers would have been OK too). I also advised the florist carefully as I didn't want twee bows and ribbons all over it either.





Despite him being a lawyer, and working in a really small office with all males except for the receptionist, once he'd got over the initial embarassment, he got quite a bit of respect for it - as did I from his fellow colleagues.





If your boyfriend is a confident guy and settled in at work, you should be OK, but I guess you always take a risk that he will take offence ( %26amp; he'd be daft if he did). However, if he is a sensitive guy, he will probably really enjoy the gesture and appreciate the effort you went to. Good luck with it and I hope he loves receiving them!

Guys - how do you feel if someone sends you flowers on your birthday?

I've been arguing with my mom on this one for a long time now, but I have an aunt that moved away. When she was closer she would usually bake a special cake on my birthday or my sisters. But since she moved away she sends flowers as well as a card and a gift; the flowers usually arrive by a florist on the day. The first time this happened I felt really embarrassed about it and didn't like it. My mom thought it was nice and send it is a custom and not a big deal. Then it happened again last year and some guy friends saw them - none of them have ever had flowers for their birthday before although one had a cousin that had - we were able to laugh it off to a nutty aunt, but it was still awkward. Now with my b'day coming up again I already know that flowers will be coming this year. I've said to my mom that I wish she'd say to not bother or use the money for something else or save it, but my mom's mad at me and told me to thank her when they come





I can't be the only guy who feels this way

Guys - how do you feel if someone sends you flowers on your birthday?
I understand it's a little unusual for men, but I doubt anyone will think less of you at all truly for merely recieving flowers from a family member. I am surprised your mother doesn't understand how you're feeling though, I've recieved embarressing gifts before but my parents were always understanding and they felt less guilt than me when disposing of them. Your birthday is supposed to be an enjoyable time for you, and the last thing she should be worrying about is etiquette on your behalf. I think it would be quite easy for her to discretely hint your aunt to not send them, she might not succeed, but I'm surprised she will not even attempt to remedy the situation. But as i said, don't worry about it, it's likely no one will even see them, make sure your mates aren't around when they're getting delievered if you can and put them in a room where your friends won't go when they come round? I'm sure may guys your age feel the same way, but when you get older I think most realise that they're just a nice gesture. Hope you have a good birthday!
Reply:My sister always sends me flowers for my birthday. I thought it was peculiar at first. I was living in a dorm and got a lot of comments, for sure. But now I understand it as a representation of her love and I even look forward to getting them. Be happy that someone cares enough to send you flowers. And maybe send HER flowers on HER birthday. I bet she'd love it.
Reply:It's not my thing. Personally I think buying dead plants is a waste of time. If they got me something that was still in roots then maybe. I will buy flowers for a girl if I know that she likes it. I think the whole idea is to make the other person happy on their birthday, not yourself.





I wouldn't complain about your aunt though. She cares for you. That's a good thing.
Reply:well my brother got flowers from his gir freind and he said well atleast she thouht of me and i gave my boyfreind flowers and her sister said he waters them every day so dont worry it is sooo normal i mean you should like them its alright and also u can pass it on to a girl u like or ur girlfreind and girls love it when a guy brings them flowers!





























hope i helped!
Reply:I think they are a waste of money, but it seems that your Mom likes to have your flowers around the house. When you get your own place, you can tell your aunt you'd rather have socks or underwear. LOL
Reply:I do think it's a little odd, but it's nothing compared to being a total ingrate. Grow up.
Reply:No, I'd be embarrassed to get flowers as a gift too. Maybe talk to your aunt about it.
Reply:Your an immature little thing aren't you? They're just flowers. Get over it.
Reply:I'd rather get something useful. Flowers just die in a few days.
Reply:You are not the only guy. I have felt like this before. the truth is..... I LOVE FLOWERS!
Reply:Give them to your mom.
Reply:Excited, because now I have a 'get out of jail free' card that I didn't have to buy with my own money!
Reply:LOL... run... run from the flowers before they turn you into a girl!!! Ha ha.... Seriously, I agree with gadgitgirlmbl they're just flowers which is a sign of love and feelings for you. It's a nice thing that your aunt is showing you in a way that she can while being away from you. Don't be so nasty about it. If you're that embarrassed then hide them like Double X said from your guy friends, but say thanks to your aunt and show her some respect too.


Would it be little weird to give a guy flowers for his birthday?

This guy, he likes me a lot, and i kinda wanted to let him know that i sorta like him too, but i want sure if flowers were too girly?

What does it mean if my ex-boyfriend send me flowers on my birthday and signs the card with?

what does it mean if my ex-boyfriend send me flowers on my birthday and signs the card with "love" and then his name? there is soooooooooooooooooo much more to the story than this. short version.....we just had a baby together, his mother (i think, but am pretty positive) wants him all to herself b/c he pays her bills, he has not seen the baby in over a month, he's admitted to being a momma's boy, ask me to marry him now has changed his mind and a lot of other things. anyways...why in the world would he send me flowers on my birthday? the arrangement even came with a teddy bear and hershey kisses!!! i'm so confused. i love him and care about him deeply, but have just gotten used to the idea of not being with him. i filed for child support too. i just know that if we were ever to get back together he would have to move out of his mother's house (it's actually his house). he has acted like he does not care, but sending me flowers? and remembering my birthday? i need some advice.

What does it mean if my ex-boyfriend send me flowers on my birthday and signs the card with?
Long story short: "He still cares for you"
Reply:It sounds like he still loves you and cares about you. I mean you were a couple and had a baby together.


If he says anything about you two ever getting back together I'd say I would only consider it if your mother was out of your house. Which I don't think would happen anyway!


Just get on with your life without him. He sounds like he doesn't know what he wants and can't make up his mind. You need stability with a baby.
Reply:This guy obviessly loves you too and wants to see his baby. I'm sorry but get that ***** of a mother out of your way, that guy should be with you. Your going to have to tell his mother politely even though she's a *****, that you would really like to see him again and it's important to her grandchild that he/she has a father around, make it all for the baby because it's true and she probably doesn't care about you.
Reply:Hes trying to slide nicely back in to your life. He caes about you to rem. your birthday. H ehasnt seen his baby, do you really want a guy like that? Its a nice way to start a conversation, thinking youll call and thank him and hell be the good guy in your eyes for awhile.
Reply:Can you use some capitals, and maybe some paragraphs? That is such a mess to try and read.
Reply:im sure if he sends u flowers andstuff he still cares for u and the baby just try talkin to him
Reply:It means he was out drinking and got stupid . Then he wrote some crap that he never meant and now you are dazzled . The kids will grow up fatherless while he serves time behind bars . Meanwhile , you will seek pleasure at night clubs by over indulging in adult beverage consumption and become a free lance woman of the evening .
Reply:most flower shops u can order flowers and have them delivered on a certain date like i can order flowers tonight and have them delivered next yr. so he might have done that or hes tring to suck up to u
Reply:That's nice
Reply:maybe he is just tryna be nice and didnt really mean anything by love (insert person's name here). Every1 puts love in the card dont over react
Reply:Sounds like he loves you but loves his mother more or perhaps he's just not ready for responsibilities
Reply:He hasn't seen his child in over a month, but took time out of his day to send you a birthday present?





I say send them back to him, and tell him that if he wants to "send" you something.... diapers and milk would be a great start.


Is it OK for my husband to send flowers to his best friend which by the way is a girl for her birthday?

I just found out that my husband has been sending flowers to his best friend for her birthday. I am very upset. He told me that he has been doing it for years. That it does not mean anything. He says that they are best friends. Should I be upset.

Is it OK for my husband to send flowers to his best friend which by the way is a girl for her birthday?
No, you should not.


Why it is just a friendly gesture. I would be fine with it.
Reply:No, it's not okay. Especially if your just finding out about it. It's okay to have friends , but at the same time he has to respect you. The fact that he remembers to do it every year is cause to be concern. How would he feel if you did the same? Tell him to stop and respect your wishes. A married man should send flowers to you or family member. What ever happened to a card or picking up the phone and just wishing her a happy birthday? Flowers are to personal. What does he give you for your birthday?
Reply:It's only wrong if he doesn't do the same for you and he is spending money that you don't have to do it.





It's also wrong if they are flowers associated with romance--that is roses. Wild flowers, seasonal flowers, live plants...all perfectly alright.





also: this isn't new behavior, he's been doing this for years.





Do call him on it if he doesn't get you flowers. He shouldn't be treating his best friend better than his wife.
Reply:Marie, I am a married man, and my best friend is a woman. Before we got married I introduced the two best women in my life, and they are friends, too. We exchange gifts on Christmas, and it is great.





Have your husband introduce the two of you. If all is above board between them, it should not be a big deal.





Regards,


Dan





PS I never sent roses, a romantic flower, but potted plants.
Reply:Why are you upset? My best girlfriend's boyfriend brought me flowers for Valentine's day last year. It was a thoughtful gesture, it didn't mean he "wanted" me.





Unless you know their relationship is inappropriate, I'd say you've got a considerate guy. Why be jealous that he treats his friends sweetly...unless he treats them better than you?
Reply:As long as he is not keeping her a secret from you AND MOST OF ALL, you are comfortable with it, then it's OK. Your wedding vows said "forsaking all others", so if there is anything your husband is doing that makes you uncomfortable, he needs to cease %26amp; desist.
Reply:YOU need to quit being so jealous or is it the fact that he doesn't get YOU flowers that often. They are friends, you need to learn to trust more it will help your marriage. If he wanted to cheat on you do you honestly think he would let you know by buying her flowers for cryin out loud. Jealousy = unhappiness and you are on the fast lane to this.
Reply:Not ok. Does he send you flowers if not there is a big f'in prob with that if he sending her flowers he better be sending singing f#cking telegrams choc and the works to you and how did you find out. If it aint his mama the b#tch aint getting no flowers...Ya Know
Reply:Hell yeah you should be upset! How would he like it if you were doing it? You should be the ony woman receiving flowers from your man. Let him send her *** a B-day card and if that aint good enough for her then oh well. Let her get her own man!!!
Reply:Okay readers, she says he has been doing it for years.


Your husband should stop once he knows that you do


not like it, and he should have enough respect for you to


not have done it at all.
Reply:I'd be jealous. I don't believe in males and females being friends. There's always something more to it. Anyone who thinks otherwise is in denial.
Reply:he didnt know it before. but since he knows it now, that you're upset, he should stop.
Reply:if i were you i would be i would watch them very closely and i would tell him how you feel GOD BLESS
Reply:Theres nothing wrong with sending her flowers there friends.


and you should trust him
Reply:as long as he is honest about it and not doing other things it should be ok
Reply:If he were smart, he would stop. Does he do the same for you?

But one word of advice. Don't expect much back. Expect nothing back from her. It might be hard for her to get the flowers from you and she wouldn't know what to do.
Reply:No.


She wants you to leave her alone.


Respect that.
Reply:YES! But don't send a mooshy card. Just say words that a friend would say.
Reply:To tell you the truth I am torn between yes and no. I would say No just leave her be. But then again maybe she would like to know that you are thinking of her.

You are a very caring man..and you deserve each other. How nice that you appreciate her and love her so much. American men should take heed and appreciate their girlfriends and express themselves the way you do. What I would do is do a search on your computer as:





species of flowers





You would have to find out what flowers grow in your country. I would go to the flower market and speak with a florist and ask them if they could make up a bouquet filled with 28 different flowers and then of course you would write the card explaining your feelings and the meaning of each flower. Or to make it simpler, have a bouquet of 28 the same flower made up and write that each of the 28 flowers has a different meaning and write down all the sayings on a beautiful card. Just writing down the way you feel will let her know the love and appreciation you have for her. I wish you good luck and I hope you marry this girl one day and have a wonderful life together.

Stargazer Lilies are beautiful and so fragrant and tend to last longer than "typical" flowers like roses.
Reply:Get 14 Roses and 14 carnations!! Welove these flowers and typeup all of the meaning she willl love you FOREVER and always
Reply:Get inique ones, ones that arent seen or heard about a lot. I like blue roses and bird of paradise.They are very pretty.

i sent my bf pics


of some of them


and sent him on a hunt for their meanings
Reply:Getting 28 flowers for 28 years is a great idea. I don't think it would it would matter if you had 28 reasons but if you do then put them in a card and enclose it with your bouquet and give her a big hug. The forist will have some good ideas for u just ask.

Reply:my best lad mate sends me flowers for my birthday every year :) i think flowers are a lovely gesture, really sweet :)
Reply:if you like her, no if you don't then it's a bit awkward, if you think it'll be too weird, get her a teddy bear
Reply:It would be really sweet. Go for it. If she get's weirded out by it then you don't need her anyway!
Reply:you said a guy friend bought you flowers, then you refer to a girl saying I think she likes me. I cannot understand your question. You mix up a boy and a girl.
Reply:Yes, it's her birthday, even if she thought of you as just a friend it would be sweet. She will not find it weird.


Are flowers a good birthday present?

I made a topic about a girl i really like (but am not in a r/ship with yet) so click on my profile is you need more more backstory about that.





It's just that a friend of mine suggested flowers as a present for her birthday? What do you think, and also, how do you think i could give them to her (we both go to school by the way)?

Are flowers a good birthday present?
PART of a good present. It makes a nice lead-in to the Big Gift
Reply:As a girl, I always love to get flowers. It might be weird at school though - maybe at the end of the day? And don't go too overboard, pretty but simple. Good luck.
Reply:I haven't met a girl yet who doesn't like flowers. I, personally love carnations. They're reasonably priced and they last a lot longer than those high priced flowers. Ask your friend to ask this girl what her favorite color is, and add that color flower to the carnations. Also tie them with ribbon in her favorite color. Best of Luck!
Reply:flowers are pretty nice presents for someone you like.... it really will make her feel so feminine and it will boost her self-esteem... but 1 thing about giving flowers is that you are not sure if what kind of flower she likes or if she has allergies to that particular flower... also, flowers don't last long... so as to be safe, i suggest you give her something that will last long and those that she could actually use for future needs..... =)
Reply:Part of a gift , not the whole thing. Buy her some earrings to go with them , nothing expensive , girls like multiple gifts :))
Reply:Flowers would be nice but I think you should put some effort into something she really likes. Getting flowers from you might be too much, unless she wants that next move.
Reply:Girls love flowers!!! You could have them delivered to her house.
Reply:flowers r a good present. especially if they're r roses or her favorite. but she may find u creepy if ur not bf/gf yet. unless she knows u like her, or the flowers could get her to go out with u. idk...it's ur decision.
Reply:First you must find out if she likes flowers or not. If yes, you can give her flowers. If not, give the other present.


If I were that girl, I like what you really want to give me.
Reply:Yes, for your grandmother.
Reply:i dont know how old you are, but i always believe that flowers are a present for someone we dont know well, or a last time present. I think it would be better if you bought her a necklace or something like it. Not something expensive, but just to show her that you didnt just get her something without thinking her taste. A CD of her favourite band would be a great idea, or maybe a poster. Generally, without overdoing it, focus on getting her something that she had showed you she likes. That will count!
Reply:Flowers will win her heart, but you should make sure that she does not have any allergies to them (that would not be good, but if she does... have them wrapped in a plastic film).
Reply:YUP!! DO IT. I did it and she loved it. I got her 24 roses, and some balloons. What else can you get a girl thats really nice lol. You cant buy her cloths or makeup HAHAA so get her flowers, some balloons and maybe some chochalate in a nice box.
Reply:All girls love two things, flowers and jewelry. You can't ever go wrong with those two things. Since she's not a long time g/f stay away from red roses, those are too forward. Go with something that is summery with lots of color. Most flower shops can help you pick something out that is in your price range and doesn't look like it's for your grandma. Good Luck
Reply:Very great idea. most ladies like flowers but i think you should add a nice birthday card as well.
Reply:Don't send her roses or carnations... Those are wedding and funeral flowers!





Instead, send a bouquet of daisies like this: http://ww22.1800flowers.com/product.do?b...





In the card, say "Beautiful daisies for a beautiful girl. Happy Birthday! Your name" Then she HAS to come up to you and thank you. Have them delivered to school so that she's called to the office to pick them up! My boyfriend did that to me a few times, and it made all my friends jealous because I had someone who cared enough to do that. (Helped that his mom is a florist... lol)
Reply:Can't hurt,go for it.

Is it better to give roses or other flowers for a birthday present?

I personally think roses are the ultimate flower!!! I'd rather get roses than any other flower. If you live near a Costco, that's the best place to buy roses because you get 2 dozen gorgeous, huge ones for $15.

Is it better to give roses or other flowers for a birthday present?
it really depends on your intended receiver's preference. if she has a special liking for a certain kind of flower (e.g. roses or sunflowers), then go for that.





if she dislikes a particular type of flower or a certain color, then avoid choosing that.





on the other hand, if your intended receiver doesn't even like flowers or prefers a more expensive gift, then she might not like the gift even if she looks like she does.





so if the person matters to you, then do your homework and find out more about her preferences beforehand.
Reply:I say other types of flowers.

I received flowers from a girl on my birthday!?

i received a bunch of flowers from a girl as my birthday present, does it mean she likes me?

I received flowers from a girl on my birthday!?
Girls don't give people flowers for no reason. We always think things through carefully. If she gave you flowers, she likes you.
Reply:Of course!
Reply:At least she is courteous.
Reply:Clearly she likes you, but I suspect you mean something more deeply than that. Hard to say, but worth checking out!
Reply:Hmm, girl giving flowers, you really like her too...Invite her out for pizza and a movie or something! The signs are all there!





Just say something like "Thanks for the flowers, they really surprised me! Say, do you want to go see that new movie *foo* that's just come out at *local theater*? We can grab a bite to eat too, if you want."





See what happens!
Reply:yeah...pretty much.
Reply:I would say maybe. There's no way to really know unless you ask her.
Reply:obviously she wants flower for her next birthday, i present my guy and girls friend with condom, does that meant that im a homo or being straight just to use upon them?





just ask her to find out :)
Reply:I am married and my best friend since childhood always sends me flowers. We are like sisters. To me this is normal. She is married too with two kids.
Reply:50 -50 chance bro. (Also depends upon her cultures)
Reply:Yes, it does....now the next move is up to you.
Reply:Of course she likes you..I think its very sweet of her to do for you,did you send her a thank you?Or at least tell her thank you?Hey you dont have to feel obligated to her for it,just because she gives you flowers doesnt mean you have to do it for her..I know that would be nice,but I doubt thats her motive for giving you some flowers k?
Reply:Yes. It also means SHE likes flowers. (Hint, hint.)
Reply:Yes!!! Ask her out.
Reply:I think she likes you.
Reply:i guess so - in her mind.

Is it okay for a man to give his ex-wife flowers for his birthday?

A friend of mines long term boy friend recently sent his ex-wife flowers for her birthday. She thinks that sending flowers is a romantic gesture. He explained that they were just a spring arrangement, not roses and that he sent them to be nice. He re assured her that she had nothing to worry about. My friend felt a bit hurt because her boyfriend had not sent her flowers for 4 years and then sent some to his ex. Is she over reacting or does she have a valid reason to be upset? I told her I'd get some opinions.

Is it okay for a man to give his ex-wife flowers for his birthday?
If I was your friend I would be pissed too only because he hadn't sent me flowers in 4 years, but he sends her flowers? Oh no! That would NOT be cool with me. For any reason in the world, it would NOT be cool.





If him and his ex have children together, that MIGHT be a reason to send her flowers. To keep some sort of friendship relationship is important when you have kids. If they don't have kids, I don't care how good of friends you are, you really do not have a reason to send flowers. A card, ok. A gift card to a store, ok. But I think flowers are a romantic gesture when coming from a man to a woman.





If I were your friend, I would get to the bottom of this. It sounds like maybe his feelings are getting involved with this woman again.





I do not know the whole situation. I am only saying this based on what you said.





I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time. But all I know is, when your gut tells you something isn't right, it usually isn't.
Reply:not wrong but inappropriate
Reply:She has a valid reason to be upset. How did your friend find out he sent flowers? Did he tell her or did she somehow have to find out on her own?





I think flowers are a great way to let someone know you're thinking of them--but why is he thinking of his ex and not his current? On the other hand, some guys are just clueless.
Reply:tell her to call joey greco and cheaters
Reply:Absolutely. Most chicks would see getting flowers that way. Even if he doesn't, his ex wife probably will. Not at all a good message to be sending. Then again, alot of guys only buy flowers when they have done something wrong. Perhaps her having not received any for 4 years is a good sign (or maybe Im just reaching???)
Reply:I see nothing wrong in him sending his ex-wife the "spring bouquet" (not romantic) flowers. I think so many people forget that ex's have a history, and just because you are no longer together, that history doesn't dissolve. I would much rather break up and be on good terms with my ex than go through life hating him. Jealousy, on the other hand, which sounds as though what your friend has, is a big poison to a relationship. If your friend cannot accept her boyfriend's explanation about the flowers, how is she going to accept all of the other day-in and day-out problems/circumstances that come with all relationships? I say she needs to grow up, get a bit more self-confidence and chill out a bit. He is still with her, right? I see a generous, caring man there, and I bet that is what attracted her to him in the first place.
Reply:my ex still sends me flowers and gifts ..but they are "from the kids" so in my opinion thats the only way or reason he should do it
Reply:Kick the dumb kid out! If he's not smart enough to realize that the one he's with deserves more attention than the one he had, he's not worth keeping!
Reply:She has a valid reason to be upset
Reply:No its ok, its good they keep good relations, for the kids sake
Reply:Some people thinks it rong n sum dont but if it woz my bf id bee wurid that he has feelings 4 her still !!!
Reply:If he's dating your friend for four years and never given her flowers, it means that he doesn't consider flowers a romantic gift for someone he loves. Thus sending flowers to his ex-wife makes perfect sense: he neither loves her nor considers it romantic, so it's an easy, lame gift in his mind.





I understand why your friend may be upset; women tend to associate flowers with romance. But in this guy's case, I don't think it's a big deal at all.


Melina, hope u like my flowers for your birthday?

I loved them...but not everyone did...my husband hated them..........ahahhah...thanks though.

Birthday Flowers for a Friend!? What should I get her?

So my friend's birthday is 1 month from today. We're close but not extremely close, and we're coworkers. We're both single, and claim we're happy being single, but that chemistry I think is starting to show between us. She's been very good to me, and has helped me get over my shyness around others.





I thought it would be fun to buy her a beautiful spring bouquet with a giant balloon that says Happy B-Day and sneak it in on her desk when she's gone. Roses are great, but I feel like that would be too much. Lots of other nice gifts, she loves John Deere stuff, and I found the cutest John Deere bear. I just don't want to do too much and creep her out. I want just a sweet gesture to remember her B-Day. I do like her, she knows it, is okay with it, and I feel like she likes me back.





What do you think?





By the way, we have dated a couple times, and going out for her b-day is out of the question.

Birthday Flowers for a Friend!? What should I get her?
Roses are awesome, but sending her too many can send the wrong message. Also consider the color of the flowers. Red roses are usually from a boyfriend, husband, or fiance. If you want to send her roses, go with 3 roses (anymore, and you could be saying you love her), either in light pink, yellow, or orange. Gerber daisies are also really pretty and come in fun colors. I think a small John Deere bear added to the bouquet would give it a personal touch.
Reply:I like the John Deere bear idea....it's cute, but not too much. Flowers mean 'relationship'...save those for next year, when you'll probably have one with her! (Because of the bear!) :)

How do i make flowers from ready roll icing for a birthday cake?

I think you are talking about those white tubes of decorative frosting in the baking goods isle?...If that is the case, they sell attachments...On the back of the package they tell you what you can make with each frosting tip...The flowers are really easy.

How do i make flowers from ready roll icing for a birthday cake?
are you talking about Fondant? you can only really make cut outs from that... I would use gum paste for flowers, they hold up better. You have to get Fondant really thing to do flowers, the problem is it dries really fast.





try www.wilton.com, and go to a craft store. If you have Michaels near you they have the best selection... Hobby Loby stores don't have a whole lot as far as fondant...
