How to preserve flowers?

my boyfriend gets me flowers all for everything.. birthday, anniversary, if he made me mad, or just cuz. i have tried to preserve them before by letting them hang upside down while they dry out.. but they alwyas just get really dry and when i touch them they fall apart.. he jsut sent me tons of tulips saterday and i need a way to preserve them... a friend told me to cover each flower in hairspray but i dont want to ruin them... anyone know what i should do.

How to preserve flowers?
I just saw Martha Stewart dip flowers in parafin--wax used for canning. she had melted the wax and she dipped each flower twice.


If the tulips have bulbs and soil, plant them in your garden and they will come up next spring!
Reply:Put them in a book and dry them, Use a dehydrator or you can even freeze them.

Flowers + Women?

I buy my wife flowers on christmas valentines birthday easter and anniversary, Thats it. She has just told me I buy her flowers too often. I didn%26#039;t think that was possible, what do you think?

Flowers + Women?
I would love someone like you to do that to me , I wish every day someone could give me flowers I%26#039;m single I wouldnt mind at all , I think she just bored with flowers maybe, try something different like her favourtie food, I%26#039;m so glad what you do however I feel you are a true gentleman keep it up
Reply:Your wife is lucky - this is true - I was married to a funeral director and when he cleaned out the back of his hearse he collected the loose flowers that fell from wreaths and bunched them together at the bottom with tin foil and handed me them saying %26quot; I know u like flowers and its a shame to waste them%26quot; That was the only flowers he gave me in the 19 years we were married .....





It will come as no surprise to know were now divorced
Reply:My husband doesn%26#039;t ever buy me flowers, but i told him it was ok. My mom doesn%26#039;t get flowers from my dad either. She said if he doesn%26#039;t buy her flowers now, when she dies, he better NOT buy her for her then. She would rather have them when she can enjoy them not when she is dead. I say go ahead and buy her the flowers. She loves it!
Reply:I think she is crazy. I get them only on the spur of the moment from my hubby, she should feel lucky.
Reply:that is way too often. get her something that will last forever, not something that is just gonna die, and you have to toss in the garbage.
Reply:some girls just don%26#039;t dig the flowers thing. It%26#039;s become kinda mainstream. It%26#039;s old, unoriginal.
Reply:Stop buying them completely. That%26#039;ll teach her to complain. ;)
Reply:Gosh I would love flowers from a guy, I have only ever had them around twice when I was first caughting my last fella. I suppose for birthdays and Christmas if you just buy her flowers and nothing else that would be boring but to receive flowers with presents, well I think some women just have too much of a good thing LOL!!!
Reply:Maybe she just doesn%26#039;t like flowers. I don%26#039;t, and I told my husband to please never buy me flowers. There are so many other things one could buy for their significant other - flowers are a cliché, and a real waste. Buy her things she REALLY likes (chocolates, stuffed animals, gadgets, anything you think she might like).
Reply:is she from another planet? we all love flowers and there%26#039;s never too much! my man gives me flowers only on valentine%26#039;s day and this year FINALLY he gave me roses in our anniversary! maybe your wife is not a sweet person... and i let them dry and put them in a special place so he doesnt think that I just want roses and then when they die put them in a trash can. for me, roses, notes,whatever he gives me is so important!!!
Reply:You just can%26#039;t find the magical combination.





My wife complained that I never bought her flowers. So I did out of the blue a couple of weeks ago on my way home from work. She left them on the table and didn%26#039;t even unwrap them and went straight to bed (i.e. sleep).





Two weeks later %26quot;how come you never buy me flowers??%26quot;





grrrrrrrr..............
Reply:This may be too often for her as she likes other things then just flowers.. How about candy or a nice romantic card of some nice perfume or jewlelry... I like flowers too but i love it when my husband buys me all sorts of special things! I like a variety and probably would get bored if he only bought me flowers all the time... Just a suggestion:)
Reply:If she has said it, then it is so. You%26#039;re making a generalization that is apparently not true in her case.
Reply:women do love flowers, just like they love chocolate, but you can have too much of a good thing, what happens when you have too much chocolate? you are sick. she may appreciate the sentiment more if you give them a little less often, maybe she thinks your taking the easy option by getting her flowers at every occassion, she may feel that you do not put any effort into thinking of an alternative gift. try getting her something different next time, and if that doesnt work you can always send the flowers to me!
Reply:Maybe she wants you to start buying her other things like jewelry

Do most women receive flowers AND another gift for their birthdays from their husbands?

Just wondering what is more common... do women receive flowers only or flowers and another gift from their husbands/boyfriends on their birthdays? Men... what do you normally give?

Do most women receive flowers AND another gift for their birthdays from their husbands?
On our anniversary, her birthday, and Valentine%26#039;s day, she gets flowers, a card, and a gift.





On Mother%26#039;s day, she gets a card and flowers.





Honest.





We men are all still waiting for you girls to celebrate March 14. (See below.) Hee Hee!
Reply:In the past I would remember from during the year what she liked


and give that as a gift,with a card %26amp; dinner.





Plus chase her around the bedroom.
Reply:NORMALLY, I would take my woman out for a real nice dinner, at that time I have a florist deliver a bouquet of flowers(not roses) as they are way to over used, then I have certificate for her to use at a massage parlor (while I wait) then home were I have dessert waiting for her. (usually something chocolate that I made myself) Then after all is well and done, I draw her a warm bath, with her favorite bath solution(usually from Lush). After she is all dried off and in her favorite (NEW) silk bathrobe, I go down on her for at least 20 min(takes only two minutes for her to experience true pleasure) and than I let her go to sleep.
Reply:i am lucky if my husband remembers a card. i dont need gifts. i love flowers. but i usually get one or the other gift or flowers.
Reply:ha..it would be nice if mine would just %26quot;remember%26quot; and acknowledge it verbally. i guess i am simple. to get flower and/or a gift-i would probably die, literally!! (then he wouldn%26#039;t have to worry about my birthday anymore, know would he?) but, i aint dying soon because he will never remember anyways.
Reply:I guess it depends on what kind of relationship you are in. All I got for Valentines day was a rose, and it was the best gift to me.
Reply:both if they are smart...
Reply:I%26#039;ve been married long enough now... she doesn%26#039;t want that... she wants stuff like filing cabinets and scrapbooking supplies and stuff like that....
Reply:I always get flowers or something on my birthday, now on valentines day that%26#039;s a different story, but men are a little clueless, you have to tell them what you want sometimes. It would be nice to think that they just thought of you and were sensitive like that, but a lot of men just aren%26#039;t. It doesn%26#039;t mean that they don%26#039;t love you, they just don%26#039;t think that way.
Reply:My birthday is on Valentines Day. I am lucky if I get flowers and another gift. I figure they are 2 days in 1 and should both be celebrated. We have argued this many times. I am lucky if he takes the initiative to think of a gift for me.
Reply:I give gifts, and some sort of nice experience (like a play, going out to eat, short vacation, b-day party).
Reply:i think most of them would receive flowers ONLY. i think men would just pick the easiest gift on the planet.. they%26#039;re too lazy to think about what their women truly want/need .
Reply:I don%26#039;t think that most women receive flowers or two gifts. I think that it depends on the man and the woman.





It is quite a gift to just have a man remember and do anything particularly special for his woman.





More often than not my male interests have taken me out to dinner for my birthday. Some have given a card or flowers particularly if they are the mushy sort.





If I had to pick the most thoughtful things a man has done, it has been knowing exactly what I would like the most. Often times it isn%26#039;t a gift. I think it is the thoughtfulness that matters the most.
Reply:flowers die,but you can always do something with the other gift.
Reply:Yes, I%26#039;m always getting both. For me, flowers only are for colleagues and not so close friends
Reply:Flowers, cards, dinner out and many gifts. My husband treats me well.
Reply:I am lucky if my husband even remembers my birthday!! But flowers are nice! Some men are sweet and do things for their wives but then you have the ones who don%26#039;t remember their own names....lol!!
Reply:Depends on the girl. I know my wife likes flowers and lots of other stuff.
Reply:I usually get flowers dinner and jewelry for my birthday from my husband.I%26#039;m not materialistic and I don%26#039;t demand anything at all but he treats me very well to celebrate my life.But then again he gets me flowers about every other week too!! I guess this should make up for the times he%26#039;s %26quot;less than perfect%26quot;
Reply:I get flowers, many gifts, dinner and cake.
Reply:I like to give roses. When I proposed, I had put a ring inside a red rose and hid the rose and had my ex wife look for it. It was really cool the way it all fell into place. But it really sucked the way we fell apart!
Reply:warm hugs
Reply:Flowers are nice, but taking her out for dinner with just the two of you is nicer and flowers and dinner is nicest
Reply:of course I usually give my wife flowers and a gift.

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

I want to make my own mexican birthday party decorations for my daughter%26#039;s 9th birthday party. Maybe flowers, pinatas, etc.

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


The Pinata is easy to make with paper mache and a balloon then make the last 2 layers with crepe paper for color you can also use water balloons to make smaller versions of these entirely of crepe paper and place them over patio lights as festive lanterns(safe as long as the bulb is not touching the sides use a bit of wire to create a secure u shaped brace. Use lots of crepe paper streamers and cover the table with bold colored table runners. If you are especially crafty use the Crepe squares to make a fiesta garland, cut silhouettes out of the crepe squares and string across a clothes line or string - you could even cut out Feliz Cumpleaños (Happy Birthday) and don%26#039;t forget to have small streamers strewn on the table and lots of balloons. Have Fun!
Reply:Buy colored tissue paper and green chenille stems from the Dollar Store or other discount store and make BIG colorful flowers: cut squares, pinch them in the middle, gather a bunch of them and wrap the chenille stem around the pinched ends.
Reply:You could make paper chains in the colors of the Mexican flag. My niece%26#039;s fiesta party had colored Christmas lights strung up and it looked very festive! We did the pinata %26amp; had a Mexican hat dance contest. The kids had a blast making up a dance to include the sombrero.

About birthday present.?

What present should i get for my friend which is a guy that will celebrates his 18th birthday? Teddy bear,flowers,photo frame,some kind of music box or...?Any suggestion?Thank you.

About birthday present.?
hi


Guys like electronics. An IPod. Really good speakers for his computer, digital camera, A good radio for his car. You didn%26#039;t mention any of his interests. think along the lines of what he likes.... take him out to a good restrauant..... good luck
Reply:He is a guy you say, and your asking if he would like teddy bears, flowers, or picture frames, is he gay? Guys like guy things, video games, food (GC), paint guns....etc. Think of what he is into, and get him something in conjunction with that. If you want to get him something generic, a wallet, a watch, gift cards are always good.





Hope this helps
Reply:Go for something he likes.....

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

Birthday surprise help?

I have a very good friend whose birthday is coming up. He has moved away to another country and he does not want me to mail any birthday present as he does not want me to spend alot of money. He wants only a birthday card! He has been a very good friend so I really want to do something for his birthday. But being so far away from him and not allowed to send him anything but a card, what else can I do ?





On my birthday he sent flowers and stuff.





He will turn 34 next month.

Birthday surprise help?
One thing you could do is check with the area where he moved for stores online where you could pick out a gift and have them mail it for very little cost. You could also find out if they have a nice restaurant nearby and order dinner delivered to his apartment/house. There are lots of companies who have oversees/foreign affiliates that wouldn%26#039;t cost you a fortune to send a present. Good luck and God Bless.


Also, you could see if they have a day spa in the area and arrange for a essential oil/aromatherapy massage.
Reply:Respect what he is asking and only send a card. Make sure it is a really nice one or if you are good with crafts make one.

Reply:Just to make sure your gift doesn%26#039;t compete with your best friend%26#039;s gift, get him something he and your best friend can enjoy together - movie tickets, a gift certificate to a nice restaurant/bar, etc.

What can I give my grandma for her 95th birthday?

I love my grandma, she lives with me. She is the the one that took care of me when I was little. She is very active and awear of everything. I have given her clothes, perfumes, flowers, but this birthday I want to make it special. Her birthday its on the 24th of this month.

What can I give my grandma for her 95th birthday?
I recently talked with an older lady that is a friend of mine and she told me about receiving a scrap book from her family with everyone%26#039;s pictures in it. She absolutely loved it!!! It%26#039;ll probably take a little time but I%26#039;m sure she%26#039;s worth every minute of it.
Reply:Sounds like a very lucky Grandma to have a grand daughter like you. I was going to suggest you give her the gift of time but you may already be doing that too. Take her to a nice dinner with her best older friends then sit and enjoy the conversation. Older people enjoy conversation and sharing how things were when they were kids.
Reply:Spend an entire day with her. Just you and her. She will ABSOLUTELY love that.
Reply:A stripper! Bet Grandma ain%26#039;t had her juices flowing in awhile, might do her some good!
Reply:The bar scene from talladega nights, will answer that.
Reply:its nice to gift her a rocking chair
Reply:I think you have already given her the greatest gift of love. She is very lucky to have someone like you in her life. If she is tight for money why not offer to purchase some of her medications or special need items. Ask her what she%26#039;d like.A good book is a great idea too, or how about a gift certificate to the beauty parlor. That always works for my mom, she is 78.
Reply:You could buy a big nice picture frame and put family protraits of different events and things for her. It could be of your family, her, and/or everyone else in your immediate family. She would love that. It will be a gift filled with memories and love.
Reply:i think so you should give her a cassette of old songs or else you should give her something that she loves the most or that something that she have lose .

Is this enough for a birthday gift?

I%26#039;ve been dating this guy for 3 months. We%26#039;re both poor college students. His 35th is tomorrow and so far all i did was get his cross fixed and supply a chain($15). i have no idea what else to get him, and no cash for anything else. I could charge another item but is this enough? FYI, he got me flowers for my birthday. If i do need to grab something else give me a suggestion

Is this enough for a birthday gift?
I think that gift is just right, and it%26#039;s the thought that counts! If you really want to give a little extra, buy or make him a card and share some of your favorite memories/inside jokes with one another. Or pamper him a little with a delicious homemade birthday cake! That should hit the spot :)
Reply:I would also suggest cooking for him, and I would go with spaghetti if he likes it. By the time you buy a box of noodles, sauce, 2 baking potatoes, and stuff for a salad you%26#039;ve spent maybe $10 on a meal for 2! If you already have some of the stuff, then it%26#039;s a steal. And actually any kind of pasta dinner would be just as cheap.


I think this along with the chain %26amp; cross would be vey sufficent, if you can%26#039;t afford to fix a meal, the cross and chain are plenty, besides he understands what it%26#039;s like to be a poor college student!
Reply:aww i think thats cute the thought is what counts not how much you spend on it....


u can cook him dinner and just be with him


so romantic!!!!


gd luck!!!

What is an appropriate gift for an ex-husand to get his ex-wife for her birthday?

Last year my boyfriend gave his ex-wife flowers for her birthday and jewlery for Christmas. It kind of bothered me. Today is her birthday and I think he may give her flowers again. Is that normal to bother me? She gave him a bottle of wine for his birthday, which I thought was practical and fine.

What is an appropriate gift for an ex-husand to get his ex-wife for her birthday?
Does she have children with him?
Reply:Nothing or at least no more than a card! The fact that they are divorced and it bothers his girlfriend (you) would be reason enough to stop that practice. It would bother me, too. She obviously is not involved with anyone because most men would not be okay with their girlfriend exchanging gifts with their ex either.
Reply:I wouldn%26#039;t get my ex anything for his birthday and i think that%26#039;s just weird .could they be involved still?
Reply:If he got her something impersonal, like a vase or a music CD, that would be ok. Jewelry or flowers isnt right. But Im just thinking he doesnt have the imagination to think of much else. I know it would bother me.
Reply:I have been divorced for 10 years--- my ex and I DO NOT exchange gifts. Yes, I think jewelry and flowers are both intimate, romantic gifts and I agree with you that it%26#039;s inappropriate.





Have you let your boyfriend know how you feel? If not, you need to talk.
Reply:It would be different if they were divorced and both Single but if they have moved on than there should be no gifts exchanged especially Jewelry and Flowers
Reply:Have you tried to look at why this makes you insecure? Do you fear he will go back to her? Have you had insecurity issues in your previous relationships.





He has an investment in the two kids he helped produce, keeping on good terms with his ex is important. Even it they had no kids, staying friends with an ex is admirable.





If his actions make you feel insecure, you should voice these feelings. It%26#039;s important that he knows how you feel. That doesn%26#039;t mean you are justified or not at these feelings, but it%26#039;s important to get them out in the open. If you don%26#039;t they can crop up in less advantageous points in the relationship, like during an argument. Better to clear the air now, even if you don%26#039;t feel you are justified in your feelings.
Reply:An appropriate gift for an ex-husband to give his ex-wife on her birthday is something FROM THE KIDS (granted that the kids are too young to buy anything themselves.) No jewelry, wine, etc. should be given. My fiance will only give his ex-wife things FROM HIS SON on Christmas because his son is only 6 and can%26#039;t buy things on his own. If his son wants to get his mom a card and some flowers, I have no problem with that. As long as the kids initiate it there should be no problem...anything else is over-stepping the boundaries in my opinion. He shouldn%26#039;t be accepting gifts from her either unless they%26#039;re coming from the kids.
Reply:y are u revisiting the EX anyway... they are not w/ u anymore why buy them anything? If u don%26#039;t have kids and ur buyin it for them y bother?
Reply:I have been divorced for one year and I see no problem with getting a gift for an ex. They didn%26#039;t fall off the face of the earth - they just parted ways. It is always a good thing to hear ex%26#039;s can be friends after the fact. I am with a new man and I see no problem with him giving a gift to his ex wife. Maybe jewlery is a bit much though. Maybe you can avoid being upset by finding something impersonal he can give her for Christmas if the gift giving continues. Remember - he is in love with you now. Good luck!
Reply:That sounds strange. These are the kind of gifts you give to your WIFE! Have you talked to Him about this? If not you should.
Reply:They are exes, why are they still exchanging gifts? I would not be happy at all, if anything that money should go to better use.......LIKE YOU!!!
Reply:They have children together.....They have a bond and it sound like they are very implacable with each other for the children...........I think that is GREAT!........I am sure you are not comfortable with him getting gifts for his X.....I would not be comfortable with it either......But you can be grateful that you have such a wonderful, thoughtful man and he is with YOU and not her........And you now know how he will treat you if you two break up.........Sounds like a nice catch to me.......I would hold onto him.....Bu the way are the gifts from his children perhaps? Or maybe the children are too small to buy her a birthday gift and he just wants her day to be special.....
Reply:He shouldn%26#039;t be giving her ANYTHING for her birthday -- they are divorced, they are ex%26#039;s. I don%26#039;t like the sound of it.
Reply:An ex is no longer a part of your close circle of friends and family and they dont need to get each other anything.


Giving him the benefit of doubt that they are still in touch and have parted ways mututally and have remained freinds, flowers and jewelry by no means is an approproate gift...a book, cd, something useful, gloves, scarf whatever...OK...understandable if you are still friends...flowers and jewelry, NO! is he trying to win her back?
Reply:a card is nice to give.but i still would keep a eye on him
Reply:close your eyes and what do you see?
Reply:Wow...I think just a card would be sufficient, the whole gift giving for ex-spouses is extreme. You have allot of trust in your relationship, good for you. I don%26#039;t think I would be as accommodating to the whole situation.
Reply:Well, you don%26#039;t say if your husband has children by his ex. If so, then giving her a gift on occasions is for the kids to see that there%26#039;s no animosity, but it should be something less romantic than flowers and jewelry. A bottle of wine or a gift certificate to her favorite store would be more appropriate. If there are no children involved, he shouldn%26#039;t be sending her anything. If he%26#039;s purchasing flowers and jewelry, he%26#039;s still in love with her, honey. Those are romantic gifts designed to win her back.
Reply:I would%26#039;ent give my ex anything, I would be concernd
Reply:If he is a recent boyfriend of yours I%26#039;d say drop him - he%26#039;s still in love with her. If you%26#039;ve been together for some years - you need a calm, serious talk about what he feels for each of you.
Reply:My dad always gives my mom gifts and they have been divorced, and him remarried, for a long time. Maybe your boyfriend just appreciates the care his ex-wife gives their children. I agree with the person who said he probably isn%26#039;t creative enough to come up with something other than flower or jewlery, my dad is the same way.

Oh, and don%26#039;t forget the pretty glass container to display it. It%26#039;s a great way to enhance your home décor and reuse a birthday bouquet.
Reply:You have some good answers. I%26#039;m going to guess they don%26#039;t have much of an aroma. When they get dry and you have mushed them up, buy some essential oil. It comes in a great number of scents. Use them when they don%26#039;t smell any more.
Reply:Just put them (you can use just the petals if you want to) in the sun, or in the open air to dry. I did this as a kid all the time! :D

How do you send gifts or flowers to someone from the states to another country?

I live in the states, my best friend lives in Sweden. If I want to send flowers or gifts to my best friend in Sweden, how do I do that? I do speak some swedish and I am going there to live soon......but I want to send my friend some flowers for her Birthday and I don%26#039;t know how to do it from here to out of the country.........does someone know how I do this? thanks

How do you send gifts or flowers to someone from the states to another country?
I normally use these guys: The NetFlorist Bunch [mailer@netflorist.co.za]. I don%26#039;t know if they deliver in Sweden, but you can mail them and find out. Maybe they know of someone who does. Good luck!





PS: I think it%26#039;s really really sweet of you! xxxx
Reply:there is a local gift or flower shop in the town there or close. they may have a internet page, if not a search may find one. put in the town name and search for flower shops. and then contact them and find out if they take orders and if they will accept payment. ive done that before but to france.
Reply:Interflora. Don%26#039;t know the address. probably www.interflora.com. They will send flowers from anywhere to anywhere
Reply:You can set up for a flower shop there to send them....... it may cost a lil more for the call and delivery but sending then from here to there means they will be dead or rotten
Reply:Just take a picture of a bouquet of flowers. Then e-mail the picture to the person!

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

Simply something I%26#039;m considering! We%26#039;ve been seeing one another for about 3 months, and he sent me flowers on my birthday and gave me a really awesome Christmas present. Would it be awkward to send him flowers rather than vice versa? Also do you think he%26#039;d be annoyed at getting them in front of his coworkers?

Should I send my guy friend flowers to his job on Valentines?
yeahh. kinda depends on the guy. i asked my boyfriend if he%26#039;d ever want me to send him flowers and he said %26#039;its always nice to get a present from a girlfriend%26#039;.. then again im not sure if id send them to him in front of his co-workers. i wouldnt want to embarass him. when i asked him this he said %26#039;are you kidding? then i can rub it in their face that not only do i have an awesome girlfriend, but she cares enough to send me flowers %26amp; they have nothing!%26#039;





:) it might be fun to laugh at later! i would do it just because this isn%26#039;t 1950 %26amp; girls can play the %26quot;guy role%26quot; sometimes.
Reply:Most men don%26#039;t go for flowers, but my dad is the only one who I know who absolutely loves them, he has about 12 gardens and gives my mom boquets all the time. Most guys are not flower arangers like my dad. Although one of my best friends Matt knows what the flowers mean, each one has a meaning, but not many people do. And even if they do they might not be all that thrilled to get flowers. The three best guy gifts I know that are universal are:


1.A zippo lighter


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


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


don%26#039;t get him deoderant or cologne usually, they might think you think they stink, which is not good
Reply:flowers are so expensive, I have sent flowers to my husband before, he liked them, but really didnt mean the same to him as they do to me, he appreciates other stuff instead, he would much rather I spend the money on something like going out to eat, the movies.
Reply:It depends on where your honey works... construction site? Definitely do not send him flowers. Professional office with mostly men? Definitely do not send him flowers. Professional office where he is the only man? Sure, send him flowers.





It%26#039;s a really sweet and thoughtful idea, but I don%26#039;t think that most guys really get excited about that and might be embarrassed instead. If you really want to give him flowers, I recommend a single rose delivered by you to his home. :-)
Reply:no, it will emasculate him
Reply:As a man I think it would be a sweet thing to do but he will probably get a lot of crap from his coworkers for it.
Reply:Maybe it is just me, but you just dont get a guy flowers, especially in front of his co workers! It is a very sweet idea, but if you wish to show him you care for him just buy your self something sexy and wait for him to get home.... That is all the more we want for valentines day lol
Reply:No.. send him some lingerie... COOL
Reply:Wouldn%26#039;t bother me, I would say go ahead.
Reply:Don%26#039;t do it. My wife brings me flowers home every once in a while and that%26#039;s cute, but sending to his work is a little overboard.
Reply:no going ahead and send the flowers
Reply:Depends on where he works. If he%26#039;s in manual labor, he%26#039;ll never live it down. If he works in an office, or is a professional, that would probably be okay. BUT be sure you pick the right kind of flowers. DO NOT send a bouquet of roses, or other spring flowers. Send a simple orchid, or a Japanese inspired arrangement with antheriums and bird of paradise. Flowers can be very masculine when arranged correctly. Some orchids are very exotic and come in unusual colors like brown.
Reply:Honestly, I think that most men would NOT like that.
Reply:Send him beer flowers. This is a nice basket with beer %26amp; snacks versus traditional flowers. Of course it will be wrapped in cellophane so it won%26#039;t be all taboo with alcohol at the job.
Reply:Yeah Send him the Flower%26#039;s in his Job
Reply:it depands !!! if he is conservative or an openly person. Some people really wants some special things to happen in special places and its all about the timing.


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


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


get him a really nice present
Reply:I think they would tease him about it...I wouldn%26#039;t take that chance..he might get embarrassed.
Reply:what about take him to a dinner and watch movie
Reply:I personally wouldn%26#039;t get a guy flowers...my boyfriend%26#039;s coworkers would give him hell about it for weeks! (I know them) I get my boyfriend stuff that lasts a while longer. I get him gift certificates so he can work on supping up his car or 4-wheeler. I think that if he has a hobby and you get him something that he can use towards it, it will show how much you pay attention and he%26#039;ll appreciate the thought that went into it!
Reply:I think his friends would rag on him but if he is the boss go girl with your bad self..
Reply:Guys love that sort of thing to happen . I wouldn%26#039;t make a habit of it or do more than once but he%26#039;s gonna love it that one time. He%26#039;ll feel like a big deal in front of his co-workers...works like a charm from my experience!
Reply:I think it is a sweet idea and I would do it to my boyfriend. Why not?





I am sure your guy friend would smile and who cares what the co-workers think.
Reply:I think its a GREAT idea! Will you send me some too?
Reply:I would probably be more inclined to surprise him with a card or something with like dinner reservations or something inside. That would probably be less awkward and more meaningful, too.
Reply:THAT WOULD BE NICE, AS DIFFERENT AS IT IS WHEN I GOT THEM AT WORK THE FEMALES WERE LIKE AWWW, THE FELLAS REALLY DIDN%26#039;T SAY MUCH, I THINK THEY WERE JEALOUS!! GO FOR IT!!
Reply:okay get him a wtach he should give you flowers and remember always wear protection
Reply:Sure, I have received flowers at work.


Follow it up with a fax so everybody knows.


He%26#039;ll love it.
Reply:I think you should go for it girl!!

Should I send flowers to her?

Tomorrow is my ex gf birthday. We broke up because of a drug addiction and other problems she has in her life. She still calls me and sends letters to me when she needs to talk. She still cares for me and I as well for her. But we just cant be together because I cant accept her addiction. I support her as I can when she says she wants to get off of the stuff. But I see no end in sight to her addiction yet. Anyway, I dont know if sending her flowers for her birthday would be appropriate. I know she loves them, but I am afraid she might get the wrong idea. I dont want her to think I am wanting her back. I just want her to know that she is a special person and that someone does care about her. Should I send them to her or not? I know if I do it will brighten her day. If I dont and noone gives her anything, she might get depressed and get high on drugs to feel better. Should I?

Should I send flowers to her?
DONT Listen to all that other BULL ...





FLOWERS do NOT say I WANT YOU ..... telling her %26quot; i want you %26quot; says %26quot;I want you%26quot; . ........ ;)





Flowers are a very nice everyday type occasion deal nowadays, so unless you are going to send her a dozen red roses with a card saying I want you back ... you are in Safe waters buddy ;)





Come on , especially if there is a chance that she might not get anything from anyone else ? Then it would be straight out mean of you ;) not to get her flowers ...





Ohhh and there is also nothing wrong or any kind of double meaning attached to roses ( EXEPTION:RED)....





so go ahead honey , get her a huge bouquet (with roses) and also a card saying %26quot; I wish You a happy Birthday, enjoy Your day :)%26quot;





That is it , no thinking of you blablabla ... keep the card simple and you are fine ;)





PS: haha No i dont work in the flower business , I Just LOVE getting Flowers ..... ;)
Reply:no... instead, give her something else for her birthday. Flowers say %26quot; i want you %26quot; and you can%26#039;t give her that message. Perhaps a better choice would be giving her something like a cd or something else she might want for her birthday. You know her fairly well, I%26#039;m guessing, you should be able to pick something a little more neutral
Reply:Sure that would be very nice of you. Just put a simple note. Something like...%26quot;Thinking of you. Hope you%26#039;re have a great day.%26quot;





No roses though. Send fresh cut flowers instead.
Reply:Ok. I don%26#039;t really know how to answer this so I guess I%26#039;ll just tell you what I think. I think that you should send them. But I would also send her a letter with them talking about how you really hope she is ready to break her addiction and that if at any time she wants to come to you for help in getting better then you are there for her.
Reply:I think you should send her a platonic card and a small gift, but sending flowers is a touch on the romantic side. Assure her that you are her friend...hey my ex BF sent me a card on my birthday and I took it as a nice gesture. We remain friends and you can not have too many friends. It will brighten her day, but you can not control her actions, or view you are pushing her over the edge. An addict will use whatever reason they WANT to to continue their BAD BEHAVIOR. You are NOT the reason, her addiction is the reason.
Reply:She%26#039;ll probably get high on drugs either way, because she%26#039;s sad or because she%26#039;s happy, it won%26#039;t matter. How about sending her a very nice %26#039;friendship%26#039; card instead of flowers? Or, perhaps you could send her a bouquet and put anonymous as the signature, (not in your handwriting of course). This might cheer her up, but as I said, it probably won%26#039;t keep her from getting high. She needs professional help.
Reply:I wouldn%26#039;t send her flowers. But I would make sure to get her something nice. A movie or a book might be a safe route to take. I%26#039;d stay away from candy, flowers and stuffed animals, clothing too actually unless it%26#039;s of some funny catch phrase or something. A movie or a book is something she can enjoy over time, with no hidden messages in it. I think it is very great of you to keep being a support system to her. :)
Reply:ohhhhhh send her some. Write her a card giving her encouragement. I can understand you not accepting an addiction, that is the smartest thing you can do.





Being there to encourage her and to be her friend is probably the best thing that you can do for her.
Reply:No, sorry if this does not agree with how you feel, however it may send her the wrong signals.


As you say she is your ex and from what it sounds you do not want her back due to her problem. She is not your responsibility anymore, and you need not feel guilty about this. her problem is HER problem, not yours.


Move on with your life, and find someone else.
Reply:Yes you should send her flowers.If you can brighten her day


than do it i bet she will be very happy
Reply:dont send her roses. send her like a spring boquet of different flowers. just say happy birthday on the card. i know how someone with an addiciton can be. so i say send them

Drying out flowers......?

I received roses and other types of flowers for my birthday and would like to know the best procedure for drying them out. I know some flowers are easier to make presentable than others.., for example, roses can dry out beautifully, while daisies do not look so nice. Also, I hear that you should spray them with hairspray to keep them from breaking. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Flowers for best friend?

i want to give my best friend flowers for her birthday and i was wondering what flowers to give her. i%26#039;m thinking yellow roses cause i know they symbolize friendship. any other ideas?

Flowers for best friend?
if u dun mind too much about symbols, why not choose smt that she loves, her fav. flower or flower in her favourite colour.





i always go to the cold room and see wat catches my eye and best suits my friend. i%26#039;ve tried purple roses, gerberas in orange or red. red roses, daisies with baby breath . gerberas are real good if u ask me.

Sending flowers in the Phils ?

I have a friend who lives in Quezon City and I want to surprise her with flowers on her birthday in September. I noticed on the Manila Times website that there are different companies like %26quot;Mahal Gift%26quot; and %26quot;Gifts2Pinas%26quot; that deliver flowers and gifts to places around Metro Manila. Can I trust sending flowers by one of these companies ?? Just because I live in Canada, but I want her to have a nice surprise on her B-Day. What do you think ??? I don%26#039;t to use this company if there products are in bad condition or stuff like that.

Sending flowers in the Phils ?
My overseas friends use PinasGift.com all the time, you can definitely trust them. I%26#039;ve received quite a number of gifts purchased from their website. Here is their website:
Reply:Consider a mixed bouquet of daisies, lilies and wild flowers. This mixed bouquet is appropriate no matter what the occasion. Perfect for the %26quot;New%26quot; relationships. It simply lets that special someone know that you are thinking of them. A local florist can deliver the flowers to your recipient with a message card.





Someone need a pick me up-


A basket of Flowers or a flowering plant with a teddy bear is just the right touch to brighten someone%26#039;s day! Perfect for someone who is having a bad day or doesn%26#039;t feel well.





True Love-


Roses can represent many things. Red Roses have been long known for their association with LOVE. But don%26#039;t feel confined to just red! If you know she likes pink, then send her 1 dozen pink roses. For special occasions, such as Birthday, Valentine%26#039;s Day or Anniversary, make more of an impression by sending a spectacular 2 or 3 dozen roses in a vase. To be unique, send 2 or 3 dozen of a more rare flower, like calla lilies:) WOW! Add balloons and a bear for a real surprise!





When in doubt?


Ask the florist. They are the experts! Tell the florist what kind of personality your recipient has. Maybe even what colors they like. With your sentiment in mind, they can recommend the perfect arrangement. Read more tips : http://online-articles.org/relationships...





Include a Message?


Always include a message with your flowers. Even if it is simply, %26quot;From, John%26quot; or %26quot;Love, Phil %26quot;. It can be very frustrating to some people to receive a gift without knowledge of who sent it. Simple sentiments like?.. %26quot;Just wanted you to know I am thinking about you today%26quot; or %26quot; Thank you for being you%26quot; are appropriate. Of course, If the gift is being sent for a particular occasion, mention that. For example, %26quot;Happy Birthday to a Beautiful Woman- With Love, John %26quot;. Perfect! Simple and Sweet!





Add something special-


Florists often have many things that can be added to your floral arrangement to make it extra special. Plush Animals, Mylar and Latex Balloons and Chocolates are just a few of the items that can compliment your floral gift!





Timing-


Remember to order early before busy holidays, especially Valentine%26#039;s Day! Most florists suggest ordering a week before if possible. This will ensure a better selection of flowers and timely delivery to your recipient.





Finally,


Don%26#039;t order your flowers through a call center! These companies charge you a fee to process your order. Even if they tell you that they don%26#039;t charge you fees, they will absorb a portion of your money, and then pass the order on to a local florist at a decreased value! Make sure you order your floral gift directly from a real local florist in the town you are sending them to. No Middleman, No Extra Fees! This will ensure that you get the best value %26amp; service! Your floral gift will be beautifully designed for presentation. Very impressive! Read more tips : http://online-articles.org/relationships...
Reply:try filgifts.com and myAyala.com. give them a call if your indoubt..
Reply:I suggest that you check with your local florist in Canada. Usually florists have some international organization, I forgot the name, in sending flowers worldwide...instead of going through those cheap advertised flower shops....Price may be steep but the quality of the flowers and the arrangement are good..not to mention the delivery. There are several flower shops here in the Philippines that are member of that florist organization like Beecheaves, Holland Tulips, Rustan%26#039;s Flower Shop, etc. Hope it helps and good luck...

Reply:There is always risk but i suggest that you ask for photos of actual flowers delivered and a picture of your friend accepting the flower. I got one friend who used to deliver flowers in the Philippines being order from various countries and she does take pictures to prove the delivery.

Is it okay to send flowers to a woman other than your wife?

I just picked up the mail and a postcard from 1-800-flowers came to remind my husband that a friend of his is having a birthday soon. I called my husband about it right now and he said that it was an old friend from high school and he sent her flowers for her birthday last year. He didn%26#039;t give me flowers for mother%26#039;s day or our anniversary either. Am I being paranoid?

Is it okay to send flowers to a woman other than your wife?
Yes... it IS okay for a man to give another woman flowers!!!


As long as it is his MOTHER, GRANDMOTHER, DAUGHTER, SISTER or GREAT-GRANDMOTHER!!!!





No you are not being paranoid! He is completely in the WRONG!! To give another woman flowers when he didn%26#039;t even get YOU flowers??? That%26#039;s completely wrong!!!





He sent her flowers LAST YEAR and you are just now finding out about it??? So, basically, he has lied by omission... failing to tell you made it a lie!





By not telling you, he has completely ruined your trust! Now you will wonder what else he hasn%26#039;t told you about, particularly with this %26quot;old friend from high school%26quot;... how do you even know if that%26#039;s the truth?? If you ask him if he slept with her, he will (of course) say no... How will you know if that%26#039;s the truth either??? The trust is gone!!!





I%26#039;m sure he had more than one female friend in high school... Does that mean that he sent them ALL flowers for their birthday?? Why just this one???





I%26#039;m sorry for you... I don%26#039;t know if I could make myself stay with him anymore...
Reply:i would be pissed
Reply:he likes or liked her
Reply:I wouldn%26#039;t accept it. If he cared enough to send an old friend flowers, then he should have cared enough about what his wife would think about it. Sounds like you have your hands full to me with a husband who isn%26#039;t very concerned on how it made you feel. Especially if you didn%26#039;t get flowers and the other woman did.





The only women that he should be sending flowers to besides you, is his/your mother, his/your grandmother, great grandmothers, sisters, daughters and only with your consent; sister-in-laws, and close mutual friends where you would both have your name on the card.





Tell him you don%26#039;t like it and how it made you feel. He may be clueless.





Good luck..............
Reply:he is interested in this woman, and not as a %26quot;friend%26quot;. no, you are not being paranoid. a man should only give flowers to his wife, mom, grandma, sis and daughter. try to find out more info on this so called %26quot;friend%26quot;. this might be evil, but check his email and voice mail. better safe than sorry.


good luck.
Reply:if u are tired of living
Reply:You%26#039;re not being paranoid at all!! I would be really suspicious if my husband ever bought flowers for another womean....I don%26#039;t know how your husband is but it sounds like that%26#039;s a little out of the ordinary for him??!! Why would he send flowers to a woman he knew in high school?? Does he ever talk about her or have you ever heard her mentioned before? These are ?%26#039;s I would ask myself.....That%26#039;s pretty messed up that he would do that for another woman and not for his wife....sounds like he has some explaining to do.....good luck
Reply:no,you are not paranoid...men love to do things for their mistresses or hope to have mistresses.they don%26#039;t do for their wives.watch him like a hawk...and don%26#039;t let his lies blind you.use your senses.
Reply:oooooo girl,i%26#039;d have his **** packed and sitting out when he came home! the nerve of some men, not that he sent the flowers to a woman,but that he forgot all about u! mothers day,anniversary,etc. thats bs....im lying i would be pissed about sending any other woman other then family flowers! theres def something going on,or he%26#039;s very interested in her and trying to impress her!! kick his *** 2 the curb girl!!!
Reply:If I were you....I wouldn%26#039;t make too big of a deal about the flowers (YET). Keep Quiet and open you eyes. Listen and look for other clues. Keep tabs on him and make notes. Lots of men are very good at hiding affairs. When he says he is going to be late for work...make sure he is really working and check to make sure the pay equals the extra time. Check his phone records on recently called numbers. Usually a man will call his mistress as soon as he leaves the house and right before he comes home. If you make too big of a deal about the flowers, he may try and cover his tracks too hard.....let him get his guard down so you can catch him if he is seeing this woman or any other woman. You go gurl!
Reply:No your not. It sounds like he is trying to rekindle an old flame. Sorry to tell you that but When I sent flowers to a female friend I told my wife first and it would only be 1 flower with a card that said from both of us.
Reply:Only if she is a muual friend of yours and even so you should have agreed together to send the flowers. Otherwise you have just sprung the cheating so and so. I guess he wasn%26#039;t as clever as he thought he was.
Reply:Why wouldn%26#039;t it be? Send %26#039;em.
Reply:I don%26#039;t think there is anything wrong with him having flowers sent to her by a florist. It could of been more personal and he could have delivered them to her in person. He had them sent for a reason it was her birthday. If it was valentines or other day it would be different but truthfully what else does a male send to a female friend that would be appropriate for her birthday when they are only friends.
Reply:She gets flowers and you get none? Sounds like something%26#039;s up. I can understand sending flowers to a relative but an old friend from high school. I%26#039;d talk to him and tell him exactly what it looks like. I bet he%26#039;s showing other types of suspicious behaviour also.
Reply:There are 2 sides to every story, but from what you%26#039;re saying, it doesn%26#039;t sound like a good situation.
Reply:I think I would have a good talk with him
Reply:Ditto sungirlie%26#039;s response.
Reply:I agree completely with DearAbby!
Reply:No its not unless its his mother or sister. If its just a old female friend, a friendly birthday card is plenty.
Reply:I would also find out what type of flowers he sent...roses, carnations or some odd flower could mean that he sent them in a more romantic attempt or that he knows her enough to know what kind of flowers she likes...plus if you can find out what the flowers cost it would be helpful...men don`t spend money on %26quot;nobody`s%26quot;


try getting a statement of past purchases from that company. Good Luck.
Reply:i don%26#039;t know about paranoid, but i know i would be very unhappy if my husband acted this way. at least you now KNOW about the situation and can therefore TALK TO HIM about it. tell him how unhappy and suspicious you are about it,tell him how much you feel it%26#039;s inappropriate and tell him that it wasn%26#039;t a nice thing for him to do...ESPECIALLY since he doesn%26#039;t buy you - his WIFE - similar gifts. who knows why he did it??? men can be so thoughtless at times....what i think is more important now is using this situation to evaluate your marriage as a whole...it could be the making of you if you talk it out, learn from it and move on all the stronger because of it. if he isn%26#039;t willing to discuss it rationally or accpet how wrong he has been, and how insensitive, then that IS a problem....good luck with it and i hope it works out .god bless both of you
Reply:I agree with dearabby, girl my words exactly you think like me, going into detail and all. So i will agree with you or end up writting a book lol.

My Ex Boyfriend just gave me flowers?

I left him in Feb.(he was unfaithful) I%26#039;ve ignored his calls and made no attempt to reconcile. (I don%26#039;t want him back) He just walked in today and gave me flowers saying %26quot;Special Delivery - don%26#039;t get upset ok. They are for you%26quot; I said %26quot;This is not good. I can%26#039;t do this%26quot; (I%26#039;m at work)


Then he left straight away with a big smile on his face.





Back on valentines day, before we split, he couldn%26#039;t give me anything, so I told him to buy me flowers for my birthday. My birthday was last month, so is he trying to reconcile, stay friends, or just finalise a past promise wanting to be forgiven?





I%26#039;m wondering if I should call him and ask him why he gave me flowers, or if I should just do nothing? I don%26#039;t want the flowers, and ideally would like him to take them back. I don%26#039;t want to invite conversation either. I don%26#039;t want him in my life at all.





Ideas please?

My Ex Boyfriend just gave me flowers?
if you dont want him in your life, then ignore him. you said it yourself. it sounds like you have a very clear head about this. if you talk to him you may make him think your still interested. so leave him be. if he doesnt get the hint, he is an idiot. the most you should say to him is you dont want anything from him ever again and would prefer it if he stayed out of your life.





if it makes you feel any better, ex%26#039;s in general seem weird. my ex has told me countless times while in relationships with women who are not me that i am hot, tells me he misses certain parts of our relationship, still pays for my food if we go out for coffee, etc. its annoying a little but im one of those people who CAN NOT have people hate me so it would hurt me so much more to kick him out of my life than to keep him in it.
Reply:Tell him to leave you alone that you don%26#039;t want anything to do with him sometimes. You have to be mean sometimes to get the message across to someone. You know?
Reply:%26quot;(he was unfaithful)%26quot;


End of story. You deserve better.





Give the flowers away, pitch them, put them down the disposal, whatever! You don%26#039;t owe him anything. I wouldn%26#039;t even call.
Reply:do nothing. thats what men do they realise you dont need them anymore and that you are happy and it makes them want you back. remember what he did to you and how much he hurt you.
Reply:Even though he probably knows you%26#039;re not interested in him anymore, he%26#039;s most liekly trying to get you to like him again. Don%26#039;t be mean and throw the flowers away-- next time when you see him, tell him that you%26#039;re thankful for the flowers but your relationship wouldn%26#039;t work out anymore and you%26#039;re sorry but could you guys just be friends? not anything mean, because how would you like it if you still liked somebody and then when you tried to do good for them, they had a bad reaction? Call him and tell him this. it usually works because the guy will think that you%26#039;re thankful for the flowers but you don%26#039;t like it if he interferes too much into your life anymore and then after that, he%26#039;ll most likely leave you alone =]
Reply:throw them away and be glad you are rid of him....





however, I detect an undercurrent of unrequited love so that may be difficult for you.....
Reply:tell him is over that he was unfaithful to you that you not want to see him ever again and through away the flowers!!!!!
Reply:Girl please don%26#039;t fall into the same mistakes that we do, which is to take them back. They%26#039;ll never learn, or feel or pain when we find out things. Do what your heart tells you but also remember how you felt when you found out he was cheating and ask yourself if you%26#039;re ready to put up with **** again.
Reply:Wow that%26#039;s hard, because it sounds to me like he has realized he lost the best thing in his life YOU... I would call him and tell him were you stand and if you feel comfortable being friends with him then go girl. It%26#039;s better for you to be the bigger person and forgive him. I%26#039;m not saying to get back with him, but trust it will make you feel stronger inside and out... Good luck!!! I hope this helps a little...=)





P.S If you call him don%26#039;t give him control over the conversation. You tell him how it is...
Reply:If he is a habitual cheater don%26#039;t give another chance because he will just cheat on you again. Us guys have sexual urges towards other women but you can%26#039;t act on them if your with someone.


But if you don%26#039;t want in your life at all don%26#039;t give him mixed message tell him no I don%26#039;t want to be with you or see you.
Reply:he probablly either wants to get back with you (just ignore him), or still wants to be friends, or at least doesn%26#039;t want you to hate him... I think you should politely say thank you next time you see him, but tell him it%26#039;s over. Hope this helps. =)
Reply:don%26#039;t call him and you can give the flowers to a co worker


or drop them off at your local hospital or nursing home.
Reply:throw the flowers away and don%26#039;t talk to him any more.
Reply:If you don%26#039;t want the flowers give them to a local hospital or nursing home and do not contact him. If he intended to upset you or just to get in your good books do not give him the pleasure of getting any thing. If he was doing the dirty on you, you are better off without him and certainly no need to sooth his feelings.





Just Ignore him.

Friend's birthday?

I want to send flowers(roses) on my friend%26#039;s birthday but just wondering if it will look good to send flowers to a guy friend. one of my friend said that we should not give flowers on guys birthdays.

Friend%26#039;s birthday?
Take it from me, he doesn%26#039;t want flowers. Get him a CD or DVD. Send him flowers when he%26#039;s dead (i.e. the funeral).
Reply:Depends on what type of guy he is. If you think he%26#039;d mind because he%26#039;s one of those manly men who cares about what other people think and would worry they would think he%26#039;s a wuss.. then I guess don%26#039;t do it (unless you purposely want to embarrass him). But if he%26#039;s cool and relaxed and appreciative, then go right ahead.





I don%26#039;t see why you shouldn%26#039;t send them to a guy. Everybody thinks flowers are nice. But he may prefer another gift.
Reply:I agree with JT
Reply:Well some men do like flowers but you can add a little something extra like a CD, DVD or a bottle of wine. Some men even like candles too. What ever you want they%26#039;re just like us they like gifts as well. And it doesn%26#039;t have to be expensive either. It%26#039;s the little things that really counts.

What color flowers should I send to a female friend?

It%26#039;s my friend%26#039;s birthday next week (we%26#039;re very close friends, although there%26#039;s nothing romantic between us), and since I%26#039;m in college I won%26#039;t be able to be there. I want to send her some flowers for her birthday, because she%26#039;s feeling sort of down lately and I think some flowers will remind her somebody cares. What color/style of flowers should I send? I don%26#039;t want to send anything with romantic overtones, or anything like that--I just want to send something sweet and friendly

What color flowers should I send to a female friend?
If she is a girly girl then send pink. Just avoid red maybe - they are a bit romantic.





Otherwise, send a mixture of colours.
Reply:Carnation roses.
Reply:Daisy%26#039;s or sunflowers.








Just explain your situation to the florists and tell them its just for a friend for a B-day nothing romantic that you don%26#039;t want to give the wrong idea. They will come up with something cute. Something in a cup or vase. I sent a friend flowers once that was in a smiley face vase. They can put them in anything or do just about anything you ask.
Reply:Send her a mixed variety of flowers that come in many colors to brighten her day!
Reply:Red roses mean romantic love





Purple roses signify that the giver has fallen in love with the recipient at first sight.





Coral and orange roses signal desire.





Yellow roses are joy and friendship.





Pink roses express our gratitude and appreciation.





Light pink roses show feelings of admiration and sympathy.





Peach Rose is more indefinite, as it can signify either sympathy or gratitude.





White roses show meaning of reverence and humility.





Maybe since her mood has been down:





People respond to different colors in different ways, and these responses take place on a subconscious, emotional level. Specific colors have different effects on the human brain:








Black: self-confidence, power, strength





Blue: calming, lowers blood pressure





Green: soothing, relaxing mentally as well as physically, helps those suffering from depression, anxiety, nervousness





Violet: provides a peaceful environment





Pink: relaxes, relieves tension, soothing





Yellow: energizes, relieves depression





Orange energizes, stimulates





Red: stimulates brain wave activity, increases heart rate, respirations and blood pressure





Hope this helps you decide, found it on some website.
Reply:Roses- Yellow is the most commonly used color for friendship, although white and pink are acceptable nowadays.


Lillies- stargazers last a while and they smell INCREDIBLE!


Carnations- last a very long time as well (I once had some that kept for almost 2 weeks!)

Does 1800 Flowers Include A Card?

I%26#039;m want to send my girlfriend some flowers for her birthday (we%26#039;re about 2000 miles apart for the time being because of college). She%26#039;s turning 19 and I%26#039;d like to send 19 roses. I%26#039;ve checked online places like FTD, Pro Flowers, and 1800 flowers. It seems I can only get 12 or 18 roses so it looks like I%26#039;ll just have to get 18 and I guess I%26#039;ll go with 1800 flowers.





My question is, does 1800 Flowers send some kind of personalized card along with the bouquet? The flowers I picked aren%26#039;t in a %26quot;birthday%26quot; arrangement but I%26#039;d like a birthday card along with the flowers. For those who have ordered from 1800 flowers, when you order do they give you the option of adding a personalized card or something like that? Will I have to buy a %26quot;birthday%26quot; arrangement to get a card?





Also, how do these arrive? If I get roses with a vase are they already in the vase in a box or something? How does it work?





Thanks.

Does 1800 Flowers Include A Card?
You%26#039;re in college and you are asking this????
Reply:If you get the vase option, it arrives in the vase with clear plastic wrapped over it in a nice way. You can get a Card special, but it usually comes with a small business sized note card that has a specialized message from you, but limited number of words. If you want a card, they will offer you that option no matter what %26quot;package%26quot; you order.





With any flower company you can call and tell them exactly what you want and have it delivered, even 19 roses. Might I suggest 18 red and one white for the special day?





Call them direct (Whichever company you like as the ones you have listed are pretty close in prices) and they will give you exactly what you want. You don%26#039;t have to order their packages, you can get the 19 roses. and the birthday card.





they arrive with the vase, but they still need to be taken out, arranged, and then trimmed before watering.





Don%26#039;t worry about it. No matter what you do, she is going to like it.
Reply:I have used proflowers.com and they have always been great - you can send a personalized message as well. The roses come with a vase, but aren%26#039;t already in it- how would that work?


I also use the place below for mothers day, my fiancee%26#039;s b-day, etc. You can buy personalized flower arrangements, etc. there as well and they are great!
Reply:Most flower delivery places let you select cards as an additional option. 1 800 flowers does have birthday cards to put with any flower arrangement.





Delivery drivers will not drive around with water in vases. The vase and bouquet are delivered at the same time, but usually with the flowers and vase in separate boxes.





The only problem is if someone is not home to get the delivery, it is often left on the porch and could get damaged by rain.
Reply:I have used them a couple of times. Once, to a girlfriend of mine in Holland, the other to my grandmothers. Each time they included a card. They arrive by a local florist to that specific area.





Depending on price, they have differing ways to send the flowers and messages. Roses can be purchased by the dozens, as they are the most commonly purchased flower. Rare flowers cost a lot more. Also, the cards differ. You can get standard message cards, or you can get something like Hallmark. Even the least expensive option allows you to send a personalized message.





Good luck.

Is she into Alternative therapies? There are loads to try. A spa day is good if you can afford it or what about something daft and unique like the newspaper of her birthdate or naming a star or somethinga long them lines?

Reply:Here%26#039;s a list - hope u%26#039;ll find it useful


1. A nice silver family photo frame - for her to keep at work if she works


2. A trendy bag


3. Or set up a romantic dinner for your mum %26amp; dad - candle light n all - contact the hotel people - and ask them to arrange for one


4. get her some feng shui stuff ( if you believe in it) they make for very good presents - dunno if its available where you stay or not.


5. or some imitation or silver jewellery if she likes


6. Aromatherapy package - scented candles, lotions, dried flowers and all :)

Reply:Garden centre vouchers so she can chose what plants she wants?





Day at a spa treatment?


Manicure, pedicure, eyebrow wax?





Nice body lotion and handcream?
Reply:Go down to the sun bed shop and book her 6 sessions. Sometimes they give you 7 for the price of 6. I did this for my mum and they lasted her for 3 months, she loved it.
Reply:If you have children go to the river or somewhere that has big rocks. Something that you can carry. Buy some puff paints and have your children put there hand prints on it. Then write happy birthday and the year. You can even do that yourself. If that ideal isn%26#039;t good, try making a stepping stone and either make hands on it or even you feet. I have those and i put it in my garden next to my kitchen window and I see that everyday. I love it
Reply:If she likes to buy he own stuff, then you may try giving her a gift card in a department store she loves to visit !
Reply:Get her e facial%26amp;massage at the hotel yout staying at while your away.





Or just get her a voucher(to buy her own clothes)
Reply:Hello Clare 89!!!


i have used this once before. While you are away, or before you go take mum to a good photogrpher, have some shots taken of you, mum, and both together. Pick the best, of the two of you,


and have it framed in areally good frame. Make sure the frame you pick will go well with mums` decor.


Like flowers that present will never die.


Do you like the idea?
Reply:Flowers are always good, I recommend proflowers.com, they%26#039;ve never let me down.





I got my mom a hammock for Xmas this year, she won%26#039;t stop talking about it. Overstock.com helped me with a lot of my shopping, you can search based on who you%26#039;re buying for and their interests.
