The third time she came over to my house she came with a big bouquet of flowers she had grown. Can confirm, I did not receive them in an appropriate way. What I discovered was that I love having flowers around the house. Not the fake ones that match seasonal tablecloths or whatever. But like actual fresh flowers in whatever variety was available at the farmer's market every few weeks. I don't match them to anything or have a favorite. I just pick up whatever looks nice. They make me smile. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 6 points 5 months ago (4 children) I tend to buy women more practical stuff for their bdays and 8th march. I figure murdered plants are neat and all, but they are just a gesture. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago Some women like the gesture. Some women like practical things. I'm a dude who actually prefers a cheap gesture showing that you thought about me rather than anything practical that might cost someone something real. Because I already get anything practical for myself and I'm super particular about consumable practical things that I need extras of. permalink fedilink source parent [–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago* (1 child) Women’s Day is a gift giving holiday?? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 3 points 5 months ago I mostly just give stuff to my mother. If I was like rich, well, the reason I could never be rich, is as soon as I have extra money, I become rather generous, buying friends gifts, buy snacks for co-workers, etc. permalink fedilink source parent [–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 3 points 5 months ago I like houseplants. They have a similar sentimental impact as flowers, but last much longer permalink fedilink source parent [–] angrystego@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago Most of them don't get murdered in the process, the flowers are not the vital parts. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ChexMax@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago (1 child) I gave my husband a bouquet of sunflowers this week for passing a certification for work. Not sure what an appropriate way is, but men deserve to receive pretty things. Not sure why we decided plants should be assigned to gender. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago I'm sure he appreciated it, you are a good wife permalink fedilink source parent
