flowers always a winner
good luck
I am taking a girl on a date for the first time, do I take flowers, a single rose or a gift? or just me :)?
if u like the girl a lot.. then go with a rose.. thats points right there.. goodluck..
Reply:get her a rose and some chocolates. she will love this.
Reply:Flowers, a single rose would be a bit serious for a first date!!!!!!! Good Luck xx
Reply:if you%26#039;re picking her up at her house, flowers (especially roses but not red ones-too cliche) are good with a bottle of good wine (this is in case things go so well you might suggest at the end of the evening to open up that bottle you brought ealier.)
A gift on the first date is overkill, you dont even know her likes nad dislikes yet and as for chocolates, most women are always on a diet!
Reply:dont be nervous go ahead.......remember no gifts ..nor any flower.
just u n urself
b confident all depends on ur talent
BEST OF LUCK
Reply:A single rose.It%26#039;s not over the top,it%26#039;s simple but yet thoughtful.
Reply:give her some choclets and some wait first of all you need to ask her if shes allergic to any kind and if she says daffadills than get her some roses and say well do you want to kiss me or not. i saw it happen befor and of corse give her a gift if you do not have the money than tell her the truth
Reply:I would just turn up with a big smile and a bigger compliment when she walks in the room. Make sure wherever you are meeting her that you are there before she is.
If you do buy her a gift or flowers or whatever then she is going to have to cart it round with her all evening.
I would save the flowers until you get invited round to hers for dinner one evening,
Reply:Taking something is old style romantic %26amp; women really like that. A small bouquet would be nice, but i probably wouldn%26#039;t take a single rose until you%26#039;ve seen her a few times. Women start thinking love when roses start appearing.
Reply:im sure you are confused with all the answers given..as everyone had given their best, but you dont know which one to choose,yeah? why dont you listen to your instinct. i know you want to impress the girl and show her that she is really special, there for you want to give her something sweet on your date. you know well on what kind of girl you are dating with. so, listen to your instinct. a girl will appreciate anything you give, a single rose, or flowers or a gift. the thought that counts. but as a start flowers will do, gift maybe on the next meeting or something.
have a good time.
Reply:Dont do anything!! Really it looks staged and desperate. You are better off very being very polite and well dressed.
And comliment her on the way she looks and try to talk about her more than yourself.
Reply:Single Rose
Reply:be prepared buddy.. n take all d guns wid u.. we dont kno d girl till now.. right..?!!
take d things but dont give right away.
get some chocklates.. keep dem in pockets..
if she is sweet on d date.. take chocklets out sayin ..
%26quot;well i got some chocklates fr ma self .. but as i see u workin too hard too sweetly to get me.. so its fr u %26quot;
kiss on cheek if she is sittin too near n everything was goin good before..
n get some condoms too.. u never kno.. ;)
let kisses n sweet time b the only girt u give on 1st date..
if u can convince her that somethin %26#039; harder n erected %26#039; is d best possible gift tht she would enjoy.. nothin better than tht.. ;)
Reply:just you alone will okay
Reply:Just some flowers will be okay and nice. Thats not overduing it at all,and will show you are a gentlemen.
Reply:First date? A single flower would be fine (Possibly something other than a rose, makes you look like you made an effort and actually thought about what to get)
Don%26#039;t listen to anyone who says they wouldn%26#039;t like a rose/ flower on their first date! They%26#039;ve obviously never had someone care about them enough to make an effort :-)
Reply:Don%26#039;t take anything apart from yourself of course, save your money in-case you pay for the meal or drinks or whatever you are going to do on the date. Good Luck :o)
Reply:From a girl%26#039;s opinion... a single rose BUT not a gas station rose that wilts within hours!!
Reply:Just be yourself. Dont bring anything, just yourself and be very confident.
Reply:A small thing of GOOD reasonably priced bouqet of flowers would do ,, if you want to make a lasting impression that is ,,, but if your looking to get laid ,, ,get some jewelery ... could be cheap but has to bling .. and the gift you can bring some rubbers... !!
Reply:you have to find out if she is worth it first!!!!!! dont take anything!!!
Reply:please do not take flowers or a single rose, it looks so stupid and a girl on the first date will feel stupid with flowers or rose. u might give her a small present, but i really don%26#039;t know what can that be. i for instance don%26#039;t like cheap presents, but of course nobody is going to get an expensive present for the first date. so i guess just u will be fine. better think what will u do with her on this first date and don%26#039;t screw things
Reply:Just you an then if you do have a good time with her send her flowers the next day
Reply:Just you, a smile, some good cologne, and a couple of good jokes / situations to talk about... also, an amazing program somewhere in the middle of the night would be an excellent touch! They get dazzled by men%26#039;s thoughtfullness, not willingness to pay! O and u can top off your evening with a kiss.... (unless there are other thingz in mind!)
Reply:I suppose I disagree with the majority here. I think a rose is a little unimaginative, but maybe an unusual but beautiful flower would be very nice. (maybe a Stargazer Lily, or a huge Dalia, or even a beautiful Mum) given with a short note that says I wanted to thank you for agreeing to go out with me, I%26#039;ve looked forward to it all day. This would be flattering without making her feel uneasy. Well it would me anyway. I agree, no gifts, nothing in any way to make her feel as though you expect %26quot;a little something in return%26quot; so at the end of the evening NO PUSHING!!!!!
Best wishes sweets, I hope you have a great time. If you choose not to take a flower don%26#039;t worry. Just a very sincere smile and a lovely compliment (not overdone or fake) will suffice!
Reply:flowers are goona get you big brownie points, id take some lillies rather than roses, red roses = love and not sure you should be saying that on your first date!
Reply:a single rose will sufice... dont over do it the first date....... the single rose or flower shows respect without being over whelming....... God bless
Reply:Personally I would prefer more informal flowers such as sunflowers, gerberas or freesias. Or a bunch of wild flowers always goes down well - it looks like you made the effort without over emphasising the romantic implication. Good Luck!
Reply:For the first date, Just be best to be yourself and its really best to do best what suits you, If it was me for a first date i will be happy with a nice smile, Buy flowers and chocs when you have got past the first date, something to impress her with later on
Reply:Personally I always loved it when a guy showed up with a bouquet of flowers, any type. I found it very flattering and it always made me feel special that a guy would think enough of me to bring them.

What would be a good gift for mother in law besides flowers or roses?
A day spent with her. Treat her out.
What would be a good gift for mother in law besides flowers or roses?
If you get well with her, a perfume is a good choice. I imagine it%26#039;s her birthday, am I right?
If you don%26#039;t get along with her, a one way ticket to Timbuktu should do the trick!
Reply:A nice braclet
Reply:A cashmere scarf or a spa coupon or maybe an elegant bracelet. It all depends on your budget .
Reply:Do you have kids? If so a good picture of her grandkid(s) in a nice frame. If not, just about anything from Hallmark or a gift card to a store or restaurant she might like.
Reply:A bag full of lemons.
Reply:A four year vacation in some remote part of the world
one without mail services or telephone services
or regular contact with the outside world
man would that be nice for 4 years
Reply:How about taking her out to lunch?

What is the equivalent gift for a girl to give a guy who gives her flowers?
Girls always get flowers from guys. What can she give him to equally show her appreciation that is sweet and romantic? (but not cliche%26#039; like a teddy bear with a heart?)

If an obituary says, in lieu of flowers donations can be made to...?
It means that they don%26#039;t want flowers sent, right? I am so used to sending flowers to funerals that it seems kind of weird. Kind of like when you get an invite to a party, and they say, no gifts please...and then you wonder if they really want them. I don%26#039;t know, should I just make a donation???
If an obituary says, in lieu of flowers donations can be made to...?
Yes, it means they don%26#039;t want flower. Flowers are nice, but once the funeral is over, all of those flowers have to go somewhere. Making a donation to the requested place honors the family and the deceased and the money is put to good use rather than on flowers that will soon die away.
Reply:i would split the difference....make a small donation to the cause and also send a small flower arrangement the the funeral
Reply:They would rather you take the money you would spend on flowers and donate insted so yes I think you should.
Reply:If they are Catholic then go to their parish and say you want to pay for an x amount of dollars for so many Holy masses said for their soul. They office will give you card indicating the days and times of the masses said for the dearly departed. Send the card to the family along with a sympathy card.
If you want to make a donation go ahead.
Reply:Sometimes families get so many flowers that they can%26#039;t handle all of them, and they feel guilty throwing them away. Personally, I don%26#039;t like the donation thing, so if they say no flowers, I send a card.
Reply:Do not send flowers! The family has explicitly asked that people NOT do this. Please respect their wishes and make the donation if you choose to, or just send them a card with a note expressing your condolences. I know from personal experience that sometimes receiving flowers after a death can cause great anxiety. I took all the arrangements directly to the trash, God forgive me -- but I just couldn%26#039;t handle it! People meant well, but it wasn%26#039;t the right thing for me.
Reply:You should do as the family request. Recently a member of our family passed and the family asked that donations be made to to the ACA because she had died of cancer. The funeral home still filled up with flowers and there was no place to take them after because she was cemented and didn%26#039;t go to the cemetery right away.
Reply:If you would have sent flowers, make the donation instead. They are asking for the money to be sent to a charity, right? They are trying to soothe their grief by helping others who are in need.
Reply:it thats what they want then yes. they are probaly asking for donations to help pay for the funeral costs-they are quite expensive, and as pretty as they are, flowers dont pay the bill
Reply:Yes. Make the donation.
Reply:It means NO FLOWERS to the funeral. Our priest limits even the amount of flowers allowed in the sanctuary (weird and wrong, I know). Usually either the family doesn%26#039;t want flowers, or they want to co-ordinate the flowers they have and not have an over abundance. Simply make a donation in their name to a charity, the charity will notify them of your thoughtfulness.
Reply:Yes, just make a donation to where they have asked it sent.
Reply:If you don%26#039;t send flowers, definately make the donation. In Asia, it is more common for people to donate to help defray the funeral costs than buy wreaths. Although the deaseased ex-company etc may send a collective wreath, individuals usually donate to the family. Since the obituary said %26#039;in lieu of flowers%26#039;, you could do either, but a donation is definately more practical, with the cost of a decent funeral these days.
Reply:Yes, make the donation and forget the flowers. Chances are that your donation is going to support a charity that was important in some way to whoever passed away. The donation will serve far better good than a vase of flowers.
Reply:yes, they would really prefer the donation
Reply:Call the local library and donate a book in the deceased name. They will send a card to the family in your name.
Reply:Yes send the donation to where they request. Some people feel the flowers to be wasteful, and they are kind of a pain to deal wish after the services.
Some here have said that the donation is to defray the funeral costs. I have to disagree, it is typically a donation to a charity important to the deceased, particularly a charity related to whatever disease he or she suffered from. Covering the funeral costs would be an exception, although I agree that they tend to be very expensive.
Sorry for your loss.

If an obituary says, in lieu of flowers donations can be made to...?
Yes, it means they don%26#039;t want flower. Flowers are nice, but once the funeral is over, all of those flowers have to go somewhere. Making a donation to the requested place honors the family and the deceased and the money is put to good use rather than on flowers that will soon die away.
Reply:i would split the difference....make a small donation to the cause and also send a small flower arrangement the the funeral
Reply:They would rather you take the money you would spend on flowers and donate insted so yes I think you should.
Reply:If they are Catholic then go to their parish and say you want to pay for an x amount of dollars for so many Holy masses said for their soul. They office will give you card indicating the days and times of the masses said for the dearly departed. Send the card to the family along with a sympathy card.
If you want to make a donation go ahead.
Reply:Sometimes families get so many flowers that they can%26#039;t handle all of them, and they feel guilty throwing them away. Personally, I don%26#039;t like the donation thing, so if they say no flowers, I send a card.
Reply:Do not send flowers! The family has explicitly asked that people NOT do this. Please respect their wishes and make the donation if you choose to, or just send them a card with a note expressing your condolences. I know from personal experience that sometimes receiving flowers after a death can cause great anxiety. I took all the arrangements directly to the trash, God forgive me -- but I just couldn%26#039;t handle it! People meant well, but it wasn%26#039;t the right thing for me.
Reply:You should do as the family request. Recently a member of our family passed and the family asked that donations be made to to the ACA because she had died of cancer. The funeral home still filled up with flowers and there was no place to take them after because she was cemented and didn%26#039;t go to the cemetery right away.
Reply:If you would have sent flowers, make the donation instead. They are asking for the money to be sent to a charity, right? They are trying to soothe their grief by helping others who are in need.
Reply:it thats what they want then yes. they are probaly asking for donations to help pay for the funeral costs-they are quite expensive, and as pretty as they are, flowers dont pay the bill
Reply:Yes. Make the donation.
Reply:It means NO FLOWERS to the funeral. Our priest limits even the amount of flowers allowed in the sanctuary (weird and wrong, I know). Usually either the family doesn%26#039;t want flowers, or they want to co-ordinate the flowers they have and not have an over abundance. Simply make a donation in their name to a charity, the charity will notify them of your thoughtfulness.
Reply:Yes, just make a donation to where they have asked it sent.
Reply:If you don%26#039;t send flowers, definately make the donation. In Asia, it is more common for people to donate to help defray the funeral costs than buy wreaths.
