I think I will just go to the local shop in town. I usually tell them how much I want to spend and they make what they can with that, and I don't think they charge to deliver. $15-20 to deliver is outrageous. IMO.
Well I've never dont it...and she is always talking about it happening to other women at her hosptial and said it would be nice if I were to do that some day for her and so on....so thats the only real reason why....other than that I agree with you.
Don't get me wrong, it feels good to get flowers randomly but I'd never want Brooks to spend that much on them..
But that's a sweet gesture.
Im glad my girlfriend understands that flowers die in a week and she would much rather have something else. not that it lasts any longer than 15 minutes but it gets the job done!
Exactly what I was thinking. I think my wife would understand too.
Yeah, flowers are pretty and all. They're nice to get, but I don't give a care if they're delivered to me by a florist or not. It actually means more if a guy gets flowers from the store and delivers them himself. He spends less money, and he's put more effort into it than just making a phone call and giving his credit card info.
Now, there are exceptions. If there's a considerable distance between the couple and he sends flowers, the thought is well appreciated.
Edit: I'm not going to bitch about ANY amount of effort a guy puts into doing something to brighten my day, but like the other girls have said, there are much better ways to go than the ridiculous mark-up on flowers and delivery charges, and I'm a cheap ass.

but wouldn't you rather get them at work so you can show them off to all your work friends?
you say that, buit then you always act all mad and stuff. i would be easier to be gay!
god bless.
It's just that spending time with you means going to Hooters or having sex. Maybe I want you to do the things I want to do. Would it kill you to go antiquing once in a while? Maybe stop by the Sewing Hut, instead of the hobby shop, one time?
I just want you to care about what I care about Paul, that's all!

LOL You would get TONS more props from her work friends if you were to take your lunch break and deliver them to her. That kind of stuff makes the girls gush and say, "Awwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!! How SWEEEEEEEET!"
And I telecommute, so the dog already knows that my man is a badass.
Alan rarely buys them, since they die! Not a good 'investment'! lol
I think tulips are nice, something unique is always good instead of the standard roses. I wouldn't spend more than $40-$50 on flowers ever though. Then again, I am cheap and practical.
