Since Valentines day is coming what you going to get her this year, Flowers or no Flowers. Where do you get your flowers from online or at a local flower shop, have you heard of teleflora.com
If you didn't have three other posts I might think you worked for Teleflora.com
Flowers are timeless, it's always nice to add something else though that isn't as timeless but that's still interesting.
I can tell you that you don't want her to be the only woman at the office without flowers...
go by someones front lawn see if they are growing roses....and you know what to do right....
That is the whole key.......the delivery and presentation to the office where she and her co-workers can ooh and ahh about the flowers while she opens the romantic card you attached. hath no fury like the scorned woman that didnt get flowers when she gets home to face her man. You don't want to be that man. So get ready to s out about $90 for delivered roses. Add $75 for dinner if you are dating. Priceless.

My husband is off the hook this year, I don't want flowers. Since Valentine's Day is on a Saturday, we plan on going up to Fredericksburg for the day, it's beautiful up there.
Kind of funny after a couple gets married and the wife sees that $90.00 charge on the joint credit card bill for some flowers which lasted about 4 days before wilting out how less relevent those flowers seem on V-Day.
Now when you are dating and the guy is buying them......hey bring them on!
Exactly!
Although he surprises me from time to time bringing me a single rose.
I do the "make it yourself" gift for Valentines day. The more thought I put into it the better she likes it and the thanks I get....oh, the thanks I get.
Those are nice too, and we appreciate them so much.I do the "make it yourself" gift for Valentines day. The more thought I put into it the better she likes it and the thanks I get....oh, the thanks I get.
I'm one of those women who appreciates the little things my husband does. Like washing the dishes without me asking......making me a cup of coffee in the morning.

We've all done that. It's just the delivery to her office that is the trick. Is Mouse available???
Its my in a box ...
Do you use one of these?
Anyone ever do the "pajama gram"?
I don't know what to get her yet. I'll probably get her chocolates and a bear or something.
hooray ...flowers
maybe you can add some chocolates, a valentine card, add a corny played out poem and deliver it via sing-a-gram by a guy in a bear suit at her office and be like majority of every other human on valentines.
use your brains people. sheesh. some of you have no idea what romance is. you just regurgitate that you saw on a television show or a movie
maybe for a proposal , you could take her to a basketball game and get on one knee while the billboard says will you marry me?
My mom has done those for my sister and me - they're pretty cute. And they last longer than roses!
I worked for a florist for a summer, and I'm sorry, but florists totally gyp you. I haven't used a florist since then, because you can get flowers at the grocery store (or that wholesale place on McCullough and Ashby that's pretty bad ass) for like 25% of the florists' cost.
Florists are great if you need to send some flowers outside of a feasible driving distance (i.e., your great-uncle's funeral in Idaho), but for something that's in town, get the flowers and deliver them yourself. It makes a better statement. If you suck at arranging, then have them do it at the store ... for free.
I usually give the Mrs. a kitchen appliance of some sort. Last year I mixed it up and gave her a new vacuum cleaner.
Flowers are always nice. I think I like getting a card for Valentine's Day better though. And as far as the candy goes, my entire life I have gotten a the biggest, laciest, ribboniest, red heart from my Dad so that's the only candy I care about. But if I ever feel like I should have a bit more candy, it's 50% off at Walgreen's the day after Valentine's!
Oh you sentimental old fool
I get electronic gadgets.
I'm giving her what I suggested to pbk81 in his divorce thread:
(as Panda mentioned): 1 rose and a card
a gift certificate to the massage school over in the Park Central shopping center
dinner at home.
total: >$50
i'm getting each of us one of these
Big, fat, succulent, juicy chocolate covered strawberries.
Vizio, so you don't like her or yourself?i'm getting each of us one of these
At least get her the Vizio and yourself something better...
