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.
Reply:Send flower with the donation receipt.

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.

Do you ever get tired of giving out shower gifts?
I am 29, so I have attended too many wedding/baby/engagement showers/parties in the past 10 years. I have recently stopped giving gifts and I have stopped going. I have NEVER received gifts for anything. My fiance passed away a little over a year ago....not only did nobody in my family or my friends send flowers, but they didn%26#039;t even bother to come to the funeral. How awful. Now people give me the 3rd degree when I don%26#039;t go to their showers/weddings or buy them gifts. Anybody else get tired of giving out gifts and going to showers, and never getting anything in return?
Do you ever get tired of giving out shower gifts?
First I am sorry for the loss of your fiance and I am sorry you were treated this way by people. Bridal Showers and weddings have become very commercialized and a money pit meaning you put so much money into it it can engulf or close in on you.
You are NOT obligated to buy anyone a gift that is a CHOICE not a demand and no one as the right to ask you for anything how cheesy is that?
My niece got married in June and I am only on one income and no I have not gotten her a wedding gift because I cant afford it now she will get one when my husband and I are more situated not a moment sooner.
It is no body%26#039;s business whether you choose to give or not.
Don%26#039;t let anyone give you a guilt trip over it. The younger generation that is getting married feel a sense of entitlement that is not your problem. Thank you for posting we all need to be reminded that Life or people don%26#039;t owe any of us a thing.
Reply:yes , get tired also ,, and sorry about your fiance too. It seems like thats the only time when people remember your phone number or address,, Im like you quit going ,,,
Reply:I am so so sorry about your fiance. I think you have been used by many so called friends. Try to be more particular with whom you spend time from now on and if they , as you say, give you the third degree do not dignify that with any response . I find showers so so boring watching people open presents. I rarely go but do send a gift if it is a good friend. Otherwise i send only a card with best wishes ( most people) which is all one need do if one is not going.
Reply:I typically enjoy the showers and parties, and I try to give a good gift... but what I am most tired of is people EXPECTING things like that. Just because you are invited to a shower, they shouldnt automatically expect you to go... much less expect a gift from you. I agree that some people just get a little greedy during certain times because they expect gifts... %26quot;oh if I get $100 for my birthday, I%26#039;ll get 5 times that much for my wedding!%26quot;... which is completely rude.
No matter what, you dont deserve to get the %26quot;3rd degree%26quot; for not showing... and if you do go, no one should saying ANYTHING about not getting a gift.
Reply:I%26#039;m sorry about the loss of your fiance. And I%26#039;m very sorry that your friends and family didn%26#039;t send flowers or come to the funeral. I don%26#039;t think that you sound bitter. It is natural to make the kind of comparison that you are making - that you%26#039;re giving a lot of gifts and not getting anything in return.
But I can tell you that this kind of thing sort of waxes and wanes through your life. I got married at a very young age, and then had a baby six months later. So I was kind of the designated poor person in both my family and my husband%26#039;s family, so had many showers and received many wedding and baby gifts. Throughout my twenties then, I felt kind of like I should reciprocate by giving lots of showers myself, which I did.
Now I%26#039;m in my fifties and sort of in the second wave. The children of our contemporaries, and our children%26#039;s friends are now doing the wedding and baby thing. But in between my twenties and my fifties, I didn%26#039;t do a whole lot of showers.
To be objective about it, you didn%26#039;t get married, and it sounds like you haven%26#039;t had a child, so that%26#039;s why you haven%26#039;t been the recipient of the shower thing. But be realistic. It%26#039;s probably coming up for you in the near future.
I think that showers can be a lot of fun. You see a lot of people that you might not ordinarily see. I think it%26#039;s fun to see what people brought as gifts. And they usually serve wine.
If you%26#039;re not finding them to be fun right now, it%26#039;s probably because you are still grieving. Take a break from them, but keep an open mind. You might decide that you want to start going to them again.
Reply:No, I don%26#039;t. I love showers, and being able to be in on the celebrations for the brides! Giving gifts is from the heart, and one shouldn%26#039;t be doing it in expectation of a return to yourself!
Sorry about your fiance, it must have been devastating...
Reply:No I love to shop.
Reply:Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your partner. I am sorry for your loss.
I typically only get shower invitations for close friends, so it%26#039;s not a problem for me. However, in my (small, rural) hometown, people go absolutely nuts with showers. They invite every female wedding guest to bridal showers. A good friend of mine recently had over 300 people invited to her wedding shower when she had only asked for about 25 people. no kidding. I%26#039;m very glad I%26#039;m getting married 300 miles away!
People there feel the need to invite everyone who could possibly know the bride, groom, expectant mother, or any of their friends or family members. If they don%26#039;t invite all those people, many of them get upset about it. However, I think it%26#039;s obnoxious to invite everyone you know to a shower. I know that my Mom gets really tired of getting invitations to showers for people she barely knows.
If you%26#039;re not close to the person getting married/having a baby, you are not obligated to attend the shower. Send a %26#039;congratulations%26#039; card and wish %26#039;em well.
Reply:No I am not
Your situation is tragic but why are you punishing other people. Ultimatley that only hurts you.
THe gift is supposed to represent your joy that they have found happiness.
What they did to you was wrong-did you express your feelings about this to anyone. I had a friend whose wedding was canceled the week before her marriage who didnt return the gifts that she received at her bridal shower. I thought she should have but I wasnt mad that she didnt. I havent been married and dont have any children so I havent received any gifts either-when my dad comes if I do I do and if idont i dont.
This will not impact me as I will not allow others to steal my
joy!
I hope this helps you even if you dont agree with it
Reply:I%26#039;m not tired of it, but then again I didn%26#039;t go through what you%26#039;ve gone through. I%26#039;m so sorry about your loss. It%26#039;s horrible your so-called friends and family are giving you a hard time about gifts and attending weddings instead of being there for you.
Reply:My gosh how sad regarding your fiancee.
I%26#039;m also 29 and I only have one girlfriend who%26#039;s in her 30s and no longer planning to get married (she hasn%26#039;t dated in years). As one who never understood the point of showers and social female gatherings, I would not subject myself to going to such parties - in fact, at my own wedding I chose not to have a bridal shower because I find them so loathesome.
Regardless of what others may say, if you don%26#039;t feel comfortable going to such events, do not ever feel obligated.

Reply:My sympathy for your loss...
As for showers and weddings, I try to find something that the couple don%26#039;t normally get. I usually will make up a basket of necessities for the couple and not spend more than $15-20.
Bridal: spatula, can opener, measuring cups, ladle, chip clips, wooden spoons, spices, pot holders, and kitchen towels in a laundry basket.
Baby: diaper rash cream, bottles, wipes, toys, nail clippers, washcloths, socks, and a baby blanket that I crocheted myself. Put all of that in a laundry basket with little to no holes so that baby socks don%26#039;t fall out and get lost.
As for the never getting anything in return, that%26#039;s only partially me. I got a lot of things for graduation gifts, but have yet to hold any showers (as I%26#039;m not pregnant or engaged). It sucks having to keep shelling out money for everything, but going to the showers helps me catch up with my friends and family that I don%26#039;t normally get to see.
As for my wedding, I%26#039;m not inviting those people who didn%26#039;t invite me to theirs. That%26#039;s almost all of my distant relatives that I don%26#039;t have to worry about.

Christmas and New Year gifts india?
Well for New Year, you could just give a bottle of wine or noise makers. Also 2008 sunglasses might work. Your Christmas cake is fine. I would also get pastries or something like that for Christmas. By the way, it%26#039;s Idea not India. That%26#039;s the country.

If you where going to send your dad flowers what flower would you send ( FEMALES ONLY )?
LOL my dad sent me flowers in october after my operation ( im 20 ) and he was joking the other day saying no one sends him flowers and i thinking it would be kinda nice to send him some just as a thank you and a nice gift from daddys girl... what kind of flowers would you send and what colour?? and maybe even if i should... do woman send men flowers hahaha ??
If you where going to send your dad flowers what flower would you send ( FEMALES ONLY )?
Your Dad will be so happy, he will probably not notice what color they are. I am a daddy%26#039;s girl too...so I know what you mean. If you go onto the 1800flowers website or the Martha Stuart website they will have some examples of arrangements for a man that you can look at.
If I was sending flowers to my Dad, I would choose a combination of Red (for love), and Yellow (for friendship). If your Dad has a special hobby you may be able to get an arrangement which includes something involved in this hobby or whatever type of work he does.
Women do send men flowers, and the men that I know are so surprised it is just wonderful. Your Dad will remember you being so thoughtful for a long time. I wish you both many blessings.

Reply:I would sent my dad something in blue or purple color flowers bouquet. Yes some women sent flowers to their bf on special occasions, men like flowers in their house or apartment living room, I have not done, sending one yet.
Reply:what kind of flowers would i send my dad,oh boy.he would laugh at me and than again he would love them.i would send him red roses because i love him very much with little baby breaths in them.yes women do send men flowers.and dont to put a little bear or a angle with it
Reply:I have sent my daddy flowers and i sent 6 red and 6 white roses...he is the best guy i know and will love him best(hence the red) forever and he is my best friend(the white)...and the arrrangement is beautiful
Reply:Hmm... I think any type of flower will do, you could try sending flowers that come with a guy friendly-gift, like snacks. Or you could send a cactus! Valentines day is just around the corner, that would be the perfect occasion.
Reply:If i sent my dad flowers he%26#039;d get a kick out of...i think something yellow...that%26#039;s kind of bright and happy.

How can i get a texas licence to buy wholesale flowers?
my father and stepmother are getting married through the church and we are having a family get together at our ranch home . I have always loved to do creative work and often buy retail flowers and arrange them. i would like to make the flower arrangments for the event but buying the flowers retial at the amount we need is not practicle. so i am trying to get a licence to buy wholesale flowers, but don%26#039;t know how and search engines are no help. i do not need a vendors licence because i would only use it for my personal use or for buying and arrging as gifts. can anyone help?

You need to find a business name for the Tax Number. $10.00 for a business name usually. Use to be $25.00 for the Tax Permit....
Reply:The only reason you need a license is to collect the tax when the flowers are sold. Tell the wholesale house you want to pay cash.
Reply:Greetings,
I have baught wholesale flowers from www.nationalflowermart.com before and they were very friendly, and helpful. They ship nationawide for free! and seem to be very reputable as I was referred to them online, and can help you out with whatever flowers you need. They carry allot of diffrent kinds. We got roses, for our wedding which lasted 8 days! They were unbeleivable. Well I hope this helps good luck!
Reply:yes, you do need to get a business name, and a TAX id number. Even on some wholesale companies online, they require a tax ID...so go to the County for that!
Reply:Do you have any friends in the flower business? If so, ask them if you can get a deal through them.
I bought all my flowers for my wedding at the local craft store. I know if you are pressed for time then this won%26#039;t help. Hobby Lobby has their silk flowers on sale for half off several times a year. Right now the single stems are on half off until May 5. Bushes are half also. I used a whole bunch of bushes/garlands for my flowers. I cut them and arranged them how I wanted them.
Also other places like JoAnn%26#039;s and Michaels have sale like this. I know if you have a Garden Ridge then that is an excellent place too.

My wife refuses to buy Christmas gifts for my family members.?
I am not a shopper and never know what to buy people. But my wife says that she will not buy a single gift for any member of my family this year because they have basically treated her terrible all year. If she paints a wall yellow, someone in my family says it would look better green, when she planted flowers in the spring, the complained about her choice of flowers. When my wife got a dog, they complained because it was from the pound %26amp; not a purebred. My wife looked at my sister one day and said %26quot;screw you%26quot; and she went home (leaving me stranded at my sister%26#039;s house to find another way home). I understand my wife%26#039;s feelings but want her to put her anger aside for Christmas. She says no way, when they can be nice to her, she%26#039;ll buy gifts but not until. Is she being fair?
My wife refuses to buy Christmas gifts for my family members.?
yes, if my mans family treated me horrible it would be a cold day in h*** before I spent a dime on them. If you wanna buy them gifts go ahead but put yourself in her shoes. Would you want to be nice to someone who has treated you the way they have treated her
Reply:Fair? I would say your family hasn%26#039;t been fair to her at all.....
accord. to your story, they have treated her like crap. And she has every right to feel the way she does....until you go to your family and defend her and tell them you expect them to treat her with respect as your wife, she doesn%26#039;t owe them the time of day, really. And as far as going shopping for them...Nada, wouldn%26#039;t happen if it was me, you can bet on it.
I hope they (your family) finds a way to mend their rude behaviour. Otherwise, you will be attending family functions either alone or with a wife that has no intention on taking any crap..... and good for her.
Reply:Don%26#039;t get you wife anything, for Christmas, until she stops whining.
Reply:I agree whole heartedly with your wife.......and if you were a good husband you would be sticking up for her!
Reply:Yes, she is. Why on earth would she want to buy gifts for someone who treats her like that? I wouldn%26#039;t. If you want to buy gifts for people who treat your wife like that, go for it ... but, don%26#039;t%26#039; expect your wife to welcome them with open arms Christmas day.
Reply:Guess you need to learn to shop...She doesn%26#039;t have to buy anyone anything...
Reply:She married YOU not the entire clan okay? If she refuses to give them anything this year for all those reasons, I don%26#039;t understand why you allow your family to treat your wife so badly! If I were her, I%26#039;d stop talking to any of them for good! And since you side with your family, wow! No wonder she%26#039;s pissed.
Reply:There%26#039;s only one way out of this - buy presents for them yourself and sign all the cards with just your name. Heck, a bottle of wine and a box of chocolates will do for the adults, and a book token for any of the kids they have.
I get where you%26#039;re coming from about the %26quot;spirit of Christmas%26quot; - but, unless these things are resolved beforehand, it%26#039;s hypocritical for your wife to buy gifts.
By the way - where are you in all of this? Aren%26#039;t you taking a stand and telling your relatives that you won%26#039;t have your wife treated like this? Seems they know they can get away with putting her down - and, where I come from, that%26#039;s called bullying.
BTW, I%26#039;ve just read your additional details, and your wife is completely right. Your family seem to have no respect for others, and I%26#039;m not surprised she wants little to do with them. Honestly, there are some boundaries which are being completely trampled on here. These incidents are out of order.
Reply:You please go ahead buy some gifts for your family, hand over the same in the name of your wife. Also buy some gifts for your wife, handover the same in the name of your sister. But please ensure that what you buy for your sister is not a dog.
Reply:ok, your wife is completely in the right here. and you are trying to find a way to convince her shes wrong. you need to step up to the plate, and put your wife first, where she belongs. if you want YOUR family to have gifts, then get off your butt and go buy them! i am in the same boat as her, and i have refused to have anything to do with a single one of the self righteous bastards in his family! take up for her, not them!
Reply:I concur with Clo!
Unreal......I love Christmas as well and laid the same law down with my husband last year....and his family has now figured a few things out. Good for her! Think how you would feel if her family treated you this way!
Peace.
Reply:The gift of giving comes from the heart. If the wife feels the families unfairness and not wanting to buy gifts for the family this year, ask her, how%26#039;s she gonna feel when everyone in the family have brought gifts for her, and they%26#039;ve gonna receive none? Gonna feel pretty shelfish! Tell the wife to go shopping and show her worth of being a better person then everyone makes her out to be, the family are just testing her.
Ask the family to support her more, than to be judged and critisied. Maybe they%26#039;ll really get to appreciate her as you do!
Hope you both enjoy your xmas!
Reply:I think you need to back up a second here. IT%26#039;S your family. Stick up for the woman you love, Stop letting your family walk on her like a doormat. OMG, I have seen this in my everyday life. I have a cousin who is married to man, whos family treats her the same way and he does nothing!I think fairness went out the door a long time ago. If you love her and want to get her something for Christmas. Be the man she fell in love with and take up for her. If you stop letting them treat her like a dog, they will back off and maybe then you will see a happier, more loving woman who would want to be around your family. Good luck!
Reply:Don%26#039;t force her to buy anything or else things are gonna get really ugly for you guys. Relationships get really complicated when family sticks their nose in everything. No offense, but your family sounds really picky maybe you need to tell them that it hurt her feelings and side with your wife. But your wife also seems stubborn and gets angry really easily over not-so-big issues. I feel sorry for ya buddy :)
Reply:your wife is just still afraid of rejection.the gifts that she may buy may again be criticized.for once,be the one to buy your family members the gifts this christmas and put your both names on the card.then casually tell your family members,%26quot;my wife chose these%26quot; if they say something nice then be quiet.if they say otherwise,then eventually tell them you%26#039;re the one who bought those.talk to your family members also,maybe they%26#039;re too hard on your wife. =)

Little gifts for girlfriend.?
hey everyone i like giving my girlfriend little gifts here and there because i want her to feel special and know that i think about her so what kind of little gifts should i give her here and there i already gave her a build a bear that looks like me (dressed him up myself haha the people there were laughing at me) and i got her a hat with her favorite rock band on it but those are really things that i cannot give all the time because well she has many bears already and she does not wear hats enough to have many of them. so what are little things i can get for her something inexpensive but thoughtful. i gave her flowers a few weeks ago.
Little gifts for girlfriend.?
It would be nice if one day, you told her you had a gift for her. You put a blindfold on her, placed her in your car...and drove her to the nearest beach or park. There you would have a nice picnic made up for her. Nothing store bought. All made from you with care. Then you took off her blind fold and everything was set up perfect. I would always wish my boyfriend would do something as romantic as this. Trust me...she will love it...
Reply:Thoughtful gifts are best, and you%26#039;re on the right track. They don%26#039;t need to be expensive, either. One of my favorite gifts from a bf was a pen that he said matched my blue eyes exactly. Or the bf that brought me cedar medallions from the family farm because he knew that I loved the smell of cedar. In short, anything that reminds her of you will be a thoughtful gift...good luck, I hope she realizes how lucky she is!
Reply:if i were you i would go to target and get her something in the range of 30-40 dollars
Reply:What better gift to offer your friend than a “living” portrait of your love and care for her. Select a photo or picture of something she likes most and send it to the gifted and professional artists from http://www.paintyourlife.com.

The same company also has a studio for oil paintings reproductions. If you are looking for an affordable gift urgently, you can take a look at their %26#039;stock on sale%26#039;. Visit http://www.oil-paintings-reproductions.c...
Reply:in my opinon the gifts that arnt expensive are the best because theirs more thought into it i rekon yhoo shud tell her youve got her a gift by telling her how much she means to yhoo and kissing and huggin her you cud even make her a romantic meal with candles and flowers or sitting by a nice warm fire watchin romantic filmas and eating popcorn!

When an actress is in a play, you give her flowers. What do you give an actor for a performance well done?
My boyfriend is appearing in a play this Saturday.
I am not sure what I should give him. Should I give him flowers, or a more %26quot;guyish%26quot; sort of gift to tell him I appreciate the work he%26#039;s just done on stage?
When an actress is in a play, you give her flowers. What do you give an actor for a performance well done?
This is my feeling about this.
I am a 39 year old male, straight. (Just as a reference for you).
I know guys say it%26#039;s all feminine for a guy to get flowers but I am telling you that when my wife and I were first dating I bought flowers constantly and loved doing that for her but one day, I was in class and flowers were delivered to me in front of everyone. It blew me away and I think it was one of the nicest/ sweetest gifts ever and I will always remember that. I think this actor of yours would be touched by your actions and find it such a nice surprise.
Reply:I think flowers should be fine. Male actors do receive bouquet of flowers as well. Well, I think your boyfriend would be happy to whatever gift he is receiving. It%26#039;s the thoughts that counts =)
Reply:When I used to perform in shows my friends and family gave me things like hand written notes or go to hallmark store and make your own personalized card for him.
Reply:whenever i am in a show everyone gets flowers, guys and girls. in the theatre flowers are a way of saying good job to everyone. its also fun to go out for ice cream with a bunch of people after a show! gifts aren%26#039;t everything, talking to people about the experience you just had is very valuable.
Reply:You could go to a restaurant and have the staff tell him Congratulations right before they shove a large cream pie in his face.
Or wait till you get home and do it yourself.

When an actress is in a play, you give her flowers. What do you give an actor for a performance well done?
This is my feeling about this.
I am a 39 year old male, straight. (Just as a reference for you).
I know guys say it%26#039;s all feminine for a guy to get flowers but I am telling you that when my wife and I were first dating I bought flowers constantly and loved doing that for her but one day, I was in class and flowers were delivered to me in front of everyone. It blew me away and I think it was one of the nicest/ sweetest gifts ever and I will always remember that. I think this actor of yours would be touched by your actions and find it such a nice surprise.
Reply:I think flowers should be fine. Male actors do receive bouquet of flowers as well. Well, I think your boyfriend would be happy to whatever gift he is receiving. It%26#039;s the thoughts that counts =)
Reply:When I used to perform in shows my friends and family gave me things like hand written notes or go to hallmark store and make your own personalized card for him.
Reply:whenever i am in a show everyone gets flowers, guys and girls. in the theatre flowers are a way of saying good job to everyone. its also fun to go out for ice cream with a bunch of people after a show! gifts aren%26#039;t everything, talking to people about the experience you just had is very valuable.
Reply:You could go to a restaurant and have the staff tell him Congratulations right before they shove a large cream pie in his face.
Or wait till you get home and do it yourself.

Girls, help me please? Should I buy my girlfriend more flowers?
I have been seeing my girlfiend since last August. In the last two weeks, things have really gone up to the next level. We are officially in love! Since Christmas time, I have been giving gifts a lot. It just seems that many gift giving occasions presented themselves, Christmas, New Years, the flu, Washington%26#039;s Birthday, Lincolns Birthday, King%26#039;s Birthday, Valentine%26#039;s Day, a cold, Easter, the flu again, another cold, Mother%26#039;s Day, her Birthday.
I sent flowers, plants, baskets, stuffed bunnies, a couple of massages (from a pro), books, cd%26#039;s, videos, etc.
She is telling me to not spend any more money on her. I cited all those gift giving occasions that came all in a row %26amp; pointed out to her that there are no more gift giving occasions until Christmas now.
The problem is this; I am away on business A LOT %26amp; I miss her %26amp; think of her %26amp; I want to send little tokens of my esteem. I have no problem spending money on her. But I don%26#039;t want her to be concerned over my $. Help me?
Girls, help me please? Should I buy my girlfriend more flowers?
Great Man, hun. She will love it and you don%26#039;t worry about it. But just let her know that as you really want to show your love and care for her while you are in distance, you sent it. Just that. She will love it.
Hey, A Lovely Postcard will cheer her up. Buying postcard won%26#039;t mean Spending much. Ok.
Reply:well just buy her sweet but cheap gifts and she will enjoy that and maybe take her on a buisness trip on a vacation or something Report It
Reply:90% of time when girls say dont spend money on me or i dont want anything, they dont mean it. secretly we love it and it makes us really happy but we want to be good girlfriends so we say we dont want stuff espeacially if we really dont need it. but yes gifts are good and you should keep getting her things maybe just simple things like go out and pick the flowers your self or just a note and a drawing. maybe even a 25 cent ring, quit spending money on her and see what she thinks about you thinking of her and get her things of thought instead of price.
Reply:instead of sending flowers, gifts and all that other %26quot;stuff%26quot;. try sending her a bouquet of balloons or cards that say what you feel, they%26#039;re inexpensive and can be given or sent. if she has a fax number, send her a fax OR TWO a week, telling her how you feel about her and around her and with her AND without her......
Reply:Buy stuff thats cheap, or get her something thats really expensive so you won%26#039;t have to buy her stuff anymore until christmas.
Reply:That is really nice of you to do all that for her.
You may send her flowers to tell her you miss her, but all this gift giving has got to stop! You%26#039;ll be broke before you know it, and girls like to be surprised with things like that. You don%26#039;t want her thinking, %26quot;oh great, more presents.%26quot; So, only do it every once and a while. Things like missing her on business trips, that is appropriate. But when she is sick, maybe making her chicken noodle soup would be better.
She%26#039;ll appreciate it more if you don%26#039;t give her things so much. You must really care about her, she%26#039;s a lucky gal!
Reply:Although I wouldn%26#039;t mind receiving those gifts it kind of seems like your giving her a lot. There%26#039;s really no need to give someone a Washington%26#039;s birthday present. Maybe you could make her something instead of buying her something. Such as sending her a nice note about how much you love her, a poem, a scrapbook that you%26#039;ve created things like that.
Reply:I think that you just need to let her know that when it comes to finances you are okay. She probally feels a little awkward that you are spending so much on her so fast. But you just have to let her know its out of love and the kindness of your heart! It%26#039;s very sweet of you but be careful not to smother her either.
Reply:get her more stuff and go deep into your love. take off from vac. she ll be really happy.
Reply:first of all my god u aint got to get her a gift for little special thing that comes along...just the big occasions..she probably said stop gettin her gifts cause she was tired of gettin gifts almost every second of her life..i kno i would be if my bf did that..it would annoy the hell out of me..she doesnt need all those gifts all she wants is you not all those presents..just give her a call and talk all night long i bet she would love that
Reply:the flu, Washington%26#039;s Birthday, Lincolns Birthday, King%26#039;s Birthday, a cold, arent gift giving things so if you want to give a gift think twice lol
make her chiken soup when shes sick itll make her feel good and help her get heathier!
Reply:Money doesn%26#039;t always show love. Maybe your girlfriend is right. If I was her I would probably feel uncomfortable also. (ya know recieving all those extavegant gifts and things) It is really sweet though! It is the thought that counts and if u are away a lot then call her and tell her how much you love her! Send cards and letters! Not everything has to cost 100000000 dollars! lol. Good luck and best wishes to you both!
Reply:Send her a love letter and pick her some flowers, don%26#039;t buy them.
Reply:take some time away from your business and take her on a picnic in the park =/
Reply:Send e/m telling how much you love her and what you would do if you were with him right now. Those don%26#039;t cost a thing and if you choose the right words she will be putty in yours hands.
Reply:Um, did you say Lincoln%26#039;s Bday and Washington%26#039;s too? Jeez, buddy, time to pull the reins on the wallet..... If you buy too much stuff, then it takes away from it being special... She soon won%26#039;t appreciate it, because it happens ALL the time... plus, it might be overwhelming for her.....It sounds like since you can%26#039;t be around physically to smother, you do it in a material way....
Just leave the gift giving to the normal holidays, and maybe once in a while, when no reason calls for it, buy her some flowers,,,
It sounds to me like you are trying to overcompensate in gifts for something else that you lack? I don%26#039;t know.... Good luck with this
Reply:while that%26#039;s sweet to want to do all these nice things for her, you cannot substitute your lack of presence (because you need to travel) with gifts. instead of buying things, do something a little more creative. if she loves flowers, get some stationary with flowers and write little sweet notes to her. you can leave them around her home, like in drawers, kitchen cabinets, her coat-pockets, so that she gets a little surprise everytime she finds these little notes.
Reply:Perfect solution! If she doesn%26#039;t want you spending money on her but you still want to get her gifts then you have to give her small romantic things that don%26#039;t cost much but involve thought. For example you could get a tiny box and put a single rolo in it with a cute message like %26quot;You are more precious to me than the LAST rolo!%26quot;, or you could draw her a little doodle of the two of you and put a frame of black card around it. If you are any good at writing, write her a poem, if not then get a funny or sexy card and simply write %26quot;im thinking of you...%26quot;
There are loadsa ways of saying i love you without spending cash. believe me, she%26#039;ll love it. Xx
Reply:send her heart felt cards, letters or poems. they cost less, and she may appreciate them more.
Reply:Maybe do things for herevery now and then. Cook her a meal. Pack a picnic. There%26#039;s a chance that she doesn;t feel ok with what she might perceive as lavish gifts.
Reply:okay...first off u do NOT need to send her all that stuff. becasue all she needs is your love...remember nothing like flowers will ever replace you and your love toward her. second of all. why don%26#039;t you stop sending her that stuff and instead send her a small and sweet letter to her on the MAJOR holidays??? and also sending her only one flower a holiday may also be very sweet....also another idea...why don%26#039;t you send her a fake flower in a boquet of real flowers and say that when all these flowers die, then your love also will be gone...;however since there is a fake flower that means that your love will never be gone!!! it%26#039;s sweet and it%26#039;s also veryyyy cheap
Reply:it might make her feel wierd to be getting all these gifts from you. maybe you should wait a while and then give her some flowers.
Reply:sorry but that stuff gets really old.
just call regularly to say you love her but stop sending her stuff
dont do it for a while and then do it again, it%26#039;ll be more special.
Reply:i dont think you should buy her anything else. she clearly doesnt need commercial items to be happy ina relationship with you. maybe write her a letter if you are away on buisness alot. she will like that. it is a token of your esteem but it does not cost money. she will treasure it im sure.
Reply:small personal things are always the best
intead of a huge bunch of flowers what if you handwrite a note to her??
and ocasionally someting small?
Reply:No matter WHAT she says, keep sending her flowers! She will miss it if you don%26#039;t! Trust me, as a woman who never gets flowers from her (about-to-be-dumped) boyfriend, it is ALWAYS a great pleasure to receive flowers, etc. from people who love you!
Reply:Girls object to gifts for several main reasons: one, they do not want to feel obligated to you sexually because you are spending so much and giving so much; 2, they do not want you to feel they owe you something, like further commitment or deeper relationship, because of your gifts.
I don%26#039;t know if the two of you have had sex, you don%26#039;t say that. I don%26#039;t know how old you both are either. But I would say, generally, lay off the expensive gifts. Pick her some wildlfowers when you%26#039;re thinking of her, so you%26#039;re not spending a lot of money. She already knows you%26#039;re not a cheapskate....you have proven that already, perhaps over-proven it!
Reply:Too many gifts is WAY overbearing for some people. It might seem to her like you are getting serious too fast, and maybe she is scared of that. Also, it makes you look a little OCD and probably a bit posessive. BACK OFF. For one, after a few more months of this you will be out of things to buy her! Special occasions will lose their touch. Theres nothing special about a gift on her birthday or your anniversary if you are giving her stuff day in and day out. It probably doesnt have as much to do with your money as with her not wanting all that stuff to clutter up.
It is very sweet that you think so highly of her and want to show her that. But do it in a different way. Write her a poem. Leave little notes where she can find them, or send a sweet e-card. Make things for her, or find simple things in nature or on your travels that remind you of your relationship together. Do things for her. Giving her a foot massage will have an even better effect than flowers will. Money isnt everything. And sometimes, money can ruin things.
Good luck in your relationship, you sound like a wonderful person and she is lucky to have you.
**EDIT**
Also, heres an idea. Every time you want to buy her something, take the ammout of money that the object costs and put it in a special savings account. If you are wanting to buy her as much as you say, you will save a lot of money this way! Then, when your one year anniversary, or Christmas comes around, take a vacation with the money you have saved! That will definatley make her feel special :D

What etiquette is there for giving gifts on opening night of a play for the male actors? Females usually receive flowers. Is it appropriate to give males flowers too?
My son is in a play. Girls get flowers on opening night. What should a boy get?
It is okay to give whatever small gift you think your son would enjoy. Flowers are perfectly alright for a boy. Perhaps a frame for a picture of him in costume or a program. Candy is also not a bad choice.

Reply:A traditional gift for actors, male or female, is a blue marble egg. Sounds crazy, no? The tradition comes from a play but I%26#039;m not sure which one. I believe they make reference to the practice in Funny Girl, but again am not positive.
I received a medal of St. Genesius (patron saint of actors) on opening night of a production when I was 16 years old and even though I am not Catholic and am in fact a non-believer, still wear it today and every day, some 40 years later.
Either of those would be appropriate and keep reminding the actor of his experience on stage.
And.... I just looked across my desk and found the letter opener presented to me for a show I did in 1967, I guess that also proves to be more lasting than the flowers I often received on opening nights.
Reply:I am a male actor and have been given flowers many times. But all of them don%26#039;t hold a candle to what my dad game me one time. he gave me a great cigar. Now that is the best gift to get after a show.

You can do a certificate that is in a joking manner as well - such as, %26quot;The Next James Dean,%26quot; or something like that.

Reply:It%26#039;s ok to give a boy flowers. But he might feel embarrassed around his friends, So ask him, maybe cards? Money? lol
Reply:Flowers are perfectly acceptable to give a young actor on opening night. Just pick a hardy flower in a bold colour. Red roses are also a good choice.
Reply:Give him flowers too! He%26#039;d like that!!
Reply:FLOWERS....after a performance they represent a good job done....it doesnt really matter that hes a boy
Reply:i think flowers are ok, if you pick a non-frilly variety. balloons are good, too. or (depending on your son%26#039;s age), a congratultory bottle of champagne would be appreciated.
Reply:dough.
Reply:Usually a bottle of whiskey is considered acceptable.
Reply:A traditional gift for actors, male or female, is a blue marble egg. Sounds crazy, no? The tradition comes from a play but I%26#039;m not sure which one. I believe they make reference to the practice in Funny Girl, but again am not positive.
I received a medal of St. Genesius (patron saint of actors) on opening night of a production when I was 16 years old and even though I am not Catholic and am in fact a non-believer, still wear it today and every day, some 40 years later.
Either of those would be appropriate and keep reminding the actor of his experience on stage.
And.... I just looked across my desk and found the letter opener presented to me for a show I did in 1967, I guess that also proves to be more lasting than the flowers I often received on opening nights.
Reply:I am a male actor and have been given flowers many times. But all of them don%26#039;t hold a candle to what my dad game me one time. he gave me a great cigar. Now that is the best gift to get after a show.

My husband spends a fortune on flowers for me?
My husband gives me flowers at least twive a week every week. They are usually roses, 2 dozen or more so they are pretty expensive. He also gives me gifts often just because. The fact that he is so considerate and caring makes me happy but at the same time I can%26#039;t help thinking that he spends so much money on flowers that die in a couple of days.
We do not own a house and we%26#039;ve been trying to save up some money to buy a house and I knbow we have to buy furniture, things for the house, etc. Should I let my husband know that maybe I would like to get flowers less often, like once or twice a month? Don%26#039;t get me wrong, I am very flattered and thankful, we%26#039;ve been married for 6 years and my husband is still so romantic and loves me so much, but we do not even own a house yet and we have so many expenses! What should I do? I do not want to offend him!
My husband spends a fortune on flowers for me?
Tell him that you love the flowers and appreciate them very much, but ask if instead of buying you flowers twice a week, can he put the money away in a fund for a romantic getaway with you. By doing that, you are not telling him that he is wasting money when you have goals and dreams, but you are telling him that you appreciate his romantic gesture and would like to further that gesture by planning and saving for a romantic getaway. Once the money begins to accumulate, your husband may see for himself how it has all been adding up and may come to realize, without you making him feel bad, that he has indeed been spending quite a bit of money for flowers and gifts. He may be encouraged by seeing how much money is saved for your romantic getaway that he may decide to try saving for that house or paying on some of those expenses you have.
You sound like you have a gem of a husband who clearly adores his wife and wants to make her happy. You also sound like someone who cares about him and wants to make him happy as well. It%26#039;s a bit unusual to see such unselfishness in a marriage and also refreshing. If all else fails, I think if you just sit down and talk to him and tell him in a very loving way that you love and appreciate the flowers and gifts, but would like to cut down a bit so you both can reach your goals, he might surprise you and take it very well. It could be that he is so accustomed to spoiling you that he is afraid to curtail his spending, for fear of offending YOU or hurting your feelings in some way. Men are conditioned to not want to mess things up with their wives because we women can be hard to understand sometimes. Your husband might actually be relieved to know he doesn%26#039;t HAVE to spend so much money on you all the time. You will not give him that opportunity to find this out however, unless you talk to him. I think that as long as you are considerate of his feelings when you talk to him and don%26#039;t imply he is being foolish with money, things will turn out okay.
Reply:Tell him to grow a patch in the garden so he can cut them and bring them in to you.
Reply:You are very, very lucky. I deal with disgruntled spouses who cannot recall the last time they received flowers.
Be gracious to him. He is expressing his undying love for you. By denying him this opportunity to express himself will hurt him immensely.
I suggest that instead of flowers you tell him you would prefer sex. This will replace a loving act (buying flowers) with an even MORE loving act (sex). Plus, it won%26#039;t cost you anything, he won%26#039;t get his feeling hurt, and your marriage will be even more strengthened.
A win-win situation.
Good luck.
Reply:just tell him... that you find it so incredibly passionate and beautiful but instead of buying me flowers... why don%26#039;t you take the money that you would have spent on them... and put it into a savings account for our house!
just make sure.. you tell him why... !!!!
Reply:I think you should tell him that you love his romantic side and the fact that he still loves to spoil you after so long, but what you raelly want is a house of your own that you can decorate with your own stuff. Suggest that he puts the money he spends on flowers in a savings acct that you can both watch grow. Tell him once you get a house he can plant flowers that will bloom all spring and summer and you would love that even more.
He sounds like a pleaser, so I am sure if you let him know that this is what you really really want, he will do it.

Reply:Are you kidding? I would kill my husband if he was wasting money like this. I%26#039;m kind of surprised that you waited 6 years to bring this up; just tell him. You are offending him more by accepting something that you don%26#039;t feel comfortable about. Pick the right moment (NOT right after he brings you flowers) and gently suggest that it would make you happier if the money he is spending on flowers went into savings instead. He may feel the same way about the money he%26#039;s spending - but being that he believes it makes you happy, he doesn%26#039;t mind. Talk to him and see if you are on the same page.

Reply:If your husband really is that considerate then he won%26#039;t be offended by a heart-to-heart talk where you take his hand and look him in the eye and tell him how much you love him. Then explain that while you love the flowers and the gifts and how romantic he is and you do know how much he cares, it would please you more if he put some of the money he spends on those flowers and gifts in your house fund. It can be a little sticky when it comes to dealing with these kinds of feelings so make sure that after you talk about this you let him know in your own way over the next few days how much you care for him too. It%26#039;s a two way street and he deserves the same consideration he is giving you with the attention. As long as you keep his feelings in mind his ego should come out intact and the two of you are closer to owning your home.
Reply:Do what I did oh so many years ago--tell him you hate to see such expensive flowers die in so short a period of time and that you would much rather he buy you rose bushes instead of fresh cut roses. Today I have a beautiful rose garden.

Dont ever taste ur gifts!!! a joke plzzz..star if u like!!?
On a special Teacher%26#039;s Day, a kindergarten teacher was receiving gifts from her pupils.
The florist%26#039;s son handed her a gift. She shook it, held it over her head, and said, %26quot;I bet I know what it is....some flowers.%26quot;
%26quot;That%26#039;s right!%26quot; said the boy. %26quot;But how did you know?%26quot;
%26quot;Just a wild guess,%26quot; she said.
The next pupil was the candy store owner%26#039;s daughter. The teacher held her gift overhead, shook it, and said, %26quot;I bet I can guess what it is...a box of candy.%26quot;
%26quot;That%26#039;s right! But how did you know?%26quot; asked the girl.
%26quot;Just a lucky guess,%26quot; said the teacher.
The next gift was from the liquor store owner%26#039;s son. The teacher held it over her head but it was leaking. She touched a drop of the leakage with her finger and tasted it.
%26quot;Is it wine?%26quot; she asked.
%26quot;No,%26quot; the boy replied. The teacher repeated the process, touching another drop of the leakage to her tongue.
%26quot;Is it champagne?%26quot; she asked.
%26quot;No,%26quot; the boy replied.
The teacher then said, %26quot;I give up, what is it?%26quot;
The boy replied, %26quot;A puppy!%26quot;

Eco-friendly gifts for a grave site?
I like to leave my mom, who passed away last year, little gifts at her head stone. Since I leave things for Christmas, her birthday, and mothers day I realized how much stuff could accumulate. I have brought balloons in the past and flowers(commercial) but I don%26#039;t think these things are very eco-friendly. Not to mention greeting cards I leave as well. I live in the north so I can%26#039;t bring fresh flowers very often I don%26#039;t think commercial are the best or truly genuine. I also thought about planting something but I really like to bring something new at these different holidays. Any unique eco-friendly suggestions would be great!!!!
Eco-friendly gifts for a grave site?
We also leave gifts at Dad%26#039;s grave site several times a year; most of which are free of cost and eco friendly.
I really enjoy making things of paper mache which is a very eco friendly container ~ from paper mache, you can create shamrocks, vases, hearts, and all sorts of things suitable for graveside decorations. One good rain, and the container begins to compost :).
I also dry flowers, such as yarrow, lavender, and baby%26#039;s breathe to use when fresh flowers aren%26#039;t available from my yard.
During Christmas, we make wreaths from yew boughs, pine cones, and cinnamon sticks. For Halloween, I make a wreath of dried grape vines decorated with miniature pumpkins.
Have you ever woven with grass? I use a variety of grass we call %26quot;Mormon grass%26quot; to weave small baskets and make reed dolls ~ not unlike cornhusk dolls.
Even cockleburrs can be stuck together to create a cute little basket that can be filled with sprigs of evergreens and berries.
If you don%26#039;t have a large yard with an assortment of plant life, you can certainly take a stroll through a public park and pick up twigs, acorns, dried leaves and other %26quot;found%26quot; items. Once you put your mind to it, you%26#039;ll discover that all sorts of wonderful things can be crafted from nature.
Reply:For my fathers, I mulched it to keep the weeds off and planted flowers. It turn out really nice.
Reply:I am sorry to hear of your loss. You are a sweet son to leave little gifts!
We leave figurines...for example, around Easter...we put glass bunnies....Christmas, always a Poinsetta or a small Christmas tree. There are always some type of figurine or little statue that goes with the season/holiday...
We do not spend tons on the different momentos because people seem to think they can just take whatever they want from the cemetary...how sad, right?
Reply:How nice, I%26#039;m sure that your mother smiles at you all the while! I saw a grave in my local cemetery this summer and someone had erected a small very arbor and planted a clematis. It will grow every year and provide beautiful blooms for years and years to come. I%26#039;m not sure if cemeteries have rules about these things, though, so I%26#039;d check first.

(To the Woman) Gifts from the guys, what do we really want?
its coming up to your birthday/ anniversary/ easter/ valentines day/ xmas etc.
what is the gifts you would NOT prefer to receive?
and what would you prefer to have gotten instead?
heres an example.
i my self wouldent like to get teddies, my room is too small to put a over sized teddy anywhere. if i was to get a teddy from a friend or boyfriend it would have to be a tiny one, but still it would just be put on the side and forgot about
my point is, would you prefer to have a gift that u know you can find use of or something thats gonna sit on the side and collect dust?
and what about flowers? nice for the moment but dead and in the bin a week later. i guess they can be a good gift as they will only take up needed space for a week.
so girls tell me your views of the gifts you have recievd but wish that you had gotten something usefull or something you can wear now and then.
dont be too greedy but be honist. ;)
(To the Woman) Gifts from the guys, what do we really want?
I used to get my husband interesting presents for his birthday, for example, driving a Formula Ford car round a racetrack or going up in a glider. Also, when he hit 40, I organised a surprise birthday party with all his family and friends there. It was brilliant! Unfortunately, my husband has failed to reciprocate and my 40th birthday went by unremarked. So, in my dreams I would like to be whisked away somewhere really romantic (Paris would be great) on a shopping expedition then out in the evening to be wined, dined and taken to the theatre. You know, made a fuss off, like I was someone special.
Oh, the very worst birthday present I ever got was a Collins Complete Do-It-Yourself Manual. It%26#039;s sitting on a high shelf gathering dust. If my husband thought I was going to enthusiastically delve into it and start decorating and maintaining our house, he was either delusional or drunk. I exercised enough restraint to avoid bashing him over the head with it! But every time a see the book, I wistfully think of Champagne, Yellow Roses and Chanel No 5 Perfume. Dream on.......
Reply:A gift from a loved one should be excepted with love what ever it is but only if care has been given in the choosing of it. so a lot of the time they get it oh so wrong .My favourite gift would be a surprise trip some where or a romantic gesture.
Reply:Flowers wilt and die when you cut them so if I must have flowers, just get me a pot plant please boys.
I find teddies cute but they are 10 a penny and become clutter in no time. Under-ware is a necessity not a gift, especially when you haven%26#039;t bothered to get the size right to start with!!!
I would be be happy with a good book, a trip to the movies/theatre and dinner, a weekend away, just take me shopping or even spend a little quality time with me.
Reply:Here%26#039;s something creative that will be appreciated and you will have fun doing:
Make up a crossword puzzle and have all the hints be personal inside moments and jokes that only you two would know about. Put it on a poster board and add some clipart and some pictures to it!
The crossword puzzle could be time consuming and a bit frustrating ... you could do the same idea with a WORDSEARCH or WORDFIND puzzle.
Put your computer skills to work! Use Excel, get clipart from Yahoo Images Search, copy them, and reformat them, use a gluestick to put on posterboard.
Use graph paper, and pictures from magazines if you are not as good on the computer, and it will give it a homemade feeling.
Reply:the best gift I have been given was a hand made necklace. I am a severe Pontiac fan and he went through the trouble of making me the symbol and everything. It was from the heart and it showed he payed attention to what I am into. Aside from that, its one of a kind.
I like flowers too, NOT red roses though, that%26#039;s lame and overdone. Tiger-lilies =o)
Reply:I personally do not like useful presents, as useful to men means dowdy to me. Heaven forfend a man ever gives me a kettle or a magimix as a present! But the overly girly stuff like teddy bears and inflatable hearts is pretty annoying too, and a tad lazy. I like receiving flowers - any flowers. And chocolate. :)
Reply:I would hate to get flowers. the last time my boyfriend bought them for me he had a very guilty consience.
I would love for him to arrange for my car to be miraculously fixed. That would make my year!
Reply:Personally, I think stuffed toys, flowers, and chocolates are way overrated.
I am not much of a material girl so I prefer surprises such as a trip to let%26#039;s say a certain city or concert tickets or something.
It may also be painting of myself (if bf is artist), a poem (if poet), a song (if musician), stuff like that.
It%26#039;s the thought that really counts. Cliche but true.

What type of gift/flower would be good for the guys at work?
Gladioli -- if they%26#039;re all gay.
Reply:give them a coffee cup full of candy! or a desk plant .. not a flower, but a plant. Most men in my office think it%26#039;s gay to get flowers ... then again they%26#039;re all homophobes. Anywho... i find that candy goes over well with them .. try it!
Reply:CVS and Walgreens have these great little wooden brainteaser puzzles that I%26#039;ve found make great presents for male co-workers.
Reply:Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Reply:listen to the previous answers. cookies are a great idea, any simple foods that you can hand off are great too, but chocolates might be pushing it... unless its some kinda manly chocolate. shot glasses and those little bottles of sampler liquers are good if theyre into those sorts of things.
Reply:i am a guy i would prefer an IT gadget, can be a thumb drive, anything useful := )
Reply:I definitely wouldst y a man flowers. I%26#039;m male.Buy them something Tye would appreciate. Unless they are feminine/homosexual/bi?
Try a very small bottle of aftershave or two cans of beer? A shot of spirit in a small bottle? Chocolates?
Good luck
Reply:Cookies!
Reply:Guys are great, in that they are easy! Bake a batch of cookies or some scones, put it near the coffee pot with a sign. There%26#039;s nothing like a little home cooking to welcome someone home (cute idea BTW), and guys will appreciate it more than anything else.
Reply:Coming from a guy who works in an office, here are a few ideas that wont break your bank:
1. A coffee or tea mug.
2. A cool plastic water tumbler.
3. A small flashlight for those times they need to crawl under their desk to fix something on their computer.
4. A clever pen or mechanical pencil.
5. A $5 card to Starbucks assuming one is near your new office.
Reply:chocolate chip cookies
Reply:Cookies are nice, but the best gift for a guy is a nice big summer sausage.
Reply:Bamboo plants are nice...
Reply:Hon, the gift that the guys would appreciate most would be a couple home-baked chocolate-chip cookies! Sorry, but most guys are still uncomfortable with the idea of ladies giving flowers to men. And appearance-enhancing items - such as shaving gear - are a bit too intimate for co-workers. Go with the cookies.
Reply:Men---if they write a lot for their job, a pen with the company name on it would be nice.If not---feed them, they really like food.Good luck........
Reply:A good luck bamboo would be a good idea. I gave one to my former coworker when he bought a new house and he loved it.
Reply:I once sent my husband a bouquet of %26quot;cookies%26quot;.
They%26#039;re homemade cookies in a variety of arrangements....check the internet.
I sent him a golf arrangement and he loved it.
Reply:I think that guys will see you giving them a flower as a question of their masculinity. Maybe a cofee mug would be better? Or a mousepad? Or a notepad?
Reply:Gourmet baskets with cheeses and meats or candies/cookies. Can%26#039;t go wrong with food!
Reply:omg omg omg......you want to give men FLOWERS?????
NEVER EVER give them these!!!!
Potted plants like money plant, cactus will do fine.
Coffee mugs with the their names engraved, painted, stenciled on it will do good. Practical.
His favourite snacks, titbits will make good gestures.
Cheers
