I have received other things at work, but never flowers. I think I would appreciate it if I did, though.

Kudos to the woman for doing the unexpected! (if it WAS a woman, that is) :wink:

I bought my husband flowers a few times. The first time was when he went into emergency surgery. He had been through such an ordeal and was ordered to spend the next 3 weeks on his side as he was unable to sit upright or lay back. I figured I would buy him some flowers to help brighten up the space but he's color blind so I had to get something bright. I bought him 30 irises and had them arranged with some simple greenery. I had them delivered to the house in time for his first day home and he absolutely loved it. They actually kept for a while and it definitely perked up the space. Since then I've bought him flowers a few more times and he appreciates the thoughtfulness.

Aww, if you want to send flowers, own up so somebody else doesn't get the credit for them! Once I brought flowers to a guy and later he kept saying they were from his little niece, right in front of me too. Never again for him! Of course they were only wildflowers...

but it is possible that the guy getting showered with anonymous posies has a male admirer or a married admirer and that is why no card.

Yeah on two occasions I got anonymous flowers when I was married and my husband was not happy about it, lol.

Hey, thanks helgaleena....yes I think that must be what it is. I started googling about them...watering, etc, and it says some of them are poisonous to pets. Now I really have to do some more checking so I won't have a dead pet, as well as a dead plant on my hands. I am a good plant killer, btw...tending either to water too much, or too little, or forgetting I even have them. But I
really appreciate her thoughtfulness and after all she is the mother of our son.

But what if she actually make the gift from scratch, does that count as commercialized?

While it would give me the warm and fuzzies to get flowers, I'm not sure they would be my first choice.

My ex once sent me a little coffee mug basket with my favorite blend of coffee and some chocolate covered Espresso beans. The note said "Just wanted to make sure you had energy for tonight." For me that was the perfect gift since I am a complete caffeine addict, and it started the foreplay with some anticipation. I loved it, and since he had it delivered everyone still got to see it get brought in and given to me. So the showoff part was nice too. :-D

I say tailor the gift to the man receiving them.

i didn't have a chance to read through the whole thread yet, apologies if someone asked this and you answered :redface:

...anyway, i'm a little confused. he received several bouquets of anonymous flowers? that's certainly different. i assume they are all from the same anonymous individual? i think sending more than one anonymous bouquet is overkill if ya ask me (and a little creepy).

one anonymous and very simple bouquet might be fun. i would do that if i were so inclined.

i have never given anonymous flowers though. i have always included a note indicating who the flowers are from.



soooooo.......was it several?

Yes, two bouquets. No more info on who sent them. Receiving flowers might be a good Facebook update, but who sent them might be too complicated to reveal like that, so that may be where that story ends.

i'm inclined to say CREEPY!

otherwise i think sending anon flowers can be cool; TOTALLY depends on who one is sending to though and also one's intention.

i tend to give the flowers i get from my lover away when i get them, i mean if i don't want to dry them or throw them away that is. if i don't dry or trash them, i usually like to put them in other professor's boxes anonymously with maybe a little ribbon tied around...something fun and sweet :smile:

however usually those profs know about me and my predilections of that nature (for doing that sort of thing)

i do not understand "Receiving flowers might be a good Facebook update", but this might be because i do not use facebook

or facialbook as i call it sometimes

i did think of one thing -- i tend to give the flowers i get from my lover away when i get them, i mean if i don't want to dry them or throw them away that is. if i dont dry or trash them, i usually like to put them in other professor's boxes anonymously with maybe a little ribbon tied around...something fun and sweet :smile:

but usually those profs know about me and my predilections of that nature

That's so sweet and so thoughtful!

I've only saved flowers once, but I kept them as a reminder of something very special TheBF did for me. I like looking at them and remembering. Part of me wishes I had made a keepsake from all of them so that those flowers could remind me of other special memories, but another part of me feels that these flowers are more special than those were and that saving all of them would somehow diminish their importance.

I can even overthink sentimentality. That takes talent. :redface:
