What is a unique gift besides flowers, candy etc. I want to do something extra special with out going overboar
I tried to find a special wedding gift for my sister.


A friend of mine recommended http://www.photoartomation.com... I sent them a photo. They made several preview samples for me. I%26#039;ve chosen one of them and ordered a canvas stretched print. That was awesome! My sis was very, very pleased. Report It

Reply:I purchased 3 pieces of artwork a few months ago for Christmas presents from http://www.photoartomation.com and I was more than satisfied with the final products – which is why I not only came back but also referred this site to friends and family. Report It

Reply:Photoartomation artists did such a great job capturing our dog on canvas. Report It

Reply:A cute bracelet is always in good taste. Not too %26quot;overboard%26quot; like a ring, not too expensive, and yet very nice and tasteful, and something she can wear each day to remember you
Reply:Pictures, personalized key chain, or coffee cup.
Reply:If it%26#039;s for a girlfriend, a cute thing to do is get a teddy bear, size doesn%26#039;t matter too much, and have it holding something, like a card or flowers. It%26#039;s not too overboard and it%26#039;s still a little different. Or if it%26#039;s a more serious relationship, you can buy a necklace and put it on the bear, see how long it takes her to notice it.


It sounds like you%26#039;re talking about gifts for a significant other, but I could be wrong, could you specify?
Reply:Funny you said besides %26quot;flowers and candy%26quot;, check out http://www.frameagram.com they claim to have an alternative to flowers and candy. Basically, it is a personalized photo frame you design yourself online to be given as a gift. Very unique, I am getting one for my mother this Mother%26#039;s day. Good luck.
Reply:Who is the gift for? That makes a big difference
Reply:Really depends on who you are shopping for, sounds like maybe a gift for someone that has invited you over and the most inexpensive yet tasty treat would be a nice bottle of wine, price can easily be under $ 10. Hope this helps and enjoy your Easter.

What's your Flower Power when buying Valentine Flowers...?

I%26#039;m a floral designer and would love to hear some feed back of your opinion as to what %26quot;YOU%26quot; would like to see at your local flower shop.


Please describe your perfect vase of flowers and the budget that you would like to stay within. Also include if you would like balloons or candy to be included with your gift and the type of flower and it%26#039;s color, any input will be helpful.


The floral industry is becoming a dying breed in some neighborhoods. I would love to find a way to bring it back and help people to give flowers as a gift that is memorable %26amp; affordable for everyone.


So this inquiring mind wants to know...all input is appreciated.


In my shop, I like to think outside of the box, so nothing is going to surprise me...my attitude......


BRING IT ON!!!!

What%26#039;s your Flower Power when buying Valentine Flowers...?
2 many details... i just go with roses
Reply:~A vase that has a spout that pulls out and the bottom of it is very fat.





~Dark Red Roses. They are very romantic!!!!!!!!!!!!!





~No candy.





~No balloons that way you can sneak up to the door with the flowers without her noticing!





~Give or take about $10-$12 dollars mabye. I don%26#039;t know how much roses usually cost. I would say about $1 a flower that way they are afforadable. But you could make it $2 a flower.Or inbetween that.
Reply:I keep it simple with a single red rose left on my lover%26#039;s pillow...
Reply:roses.
Reply:You should check out how the German%26#039;s arrange flowers. They do an excellent job. Then copy their style.
Reply:I love artfully arranged flowers without Baby%26#039;s Breath and ferns. And no carnations or mums either. All of those items are over-used. Roses are kind of boring and cliche as well.


Don%26#039;t like balloons or other crap in a bouquet. And just a simple glass or ceramic vase----none of those kitschy vases either.


Flowers: exotic tropicals, hydrangeas, tulips, irises, lilies, gardenias, jasmine, magnolia,.....


Price range: @ $35.00, with lower and higher priced items.
Reply:I pick dandelions for V-day
Reply:roses always roses
Reply:BLACK ROSSES ARE KICK AZZ!!!

Reply:i think red roses are perfect.

What to do with a guy who doesn't really see the need in giving flowers or cards etc?

I am dating a very sweet, respectful guy. We just celeberated our one month anniversary. B/c it%26#039;s only been one month, I decided to make him a small, home made (personalized) card, as a nice gesture for the occassion. He did not give me a card or anything but did take me out and pay for a nice dinner. I do not mind NOT getting anything from him--as he did pay for dinner and it%26#039;s only been one month. However, some of my friends are telling me that he should have given me something (i.e. a card or gift or flowers etc). I would think that for more important milestones, my guy would actually do something, therefore I do not feel the need to make a scene over a month anniversary. Any thoughts on this scenario? Are my friends being overly critical or should I say something to my guy?

I%26#039;d say your friends all sound like border-line personalities and I would listen very carefully to all there expectations, ridicule, and controlling that way your new boyfriend will dump you and you%26#039;ll be back in the market looking for someone new in no time at all and then all your so-called friends will disappear!!!
Reply:if you want him to celebrate things like this you really need to tell him ahead of time in a nice, nonthreatening way. please don%26#039;t make him read your mind to find out things that are important to you
Reply:Don%26#039;t say anything to him...just continue to make him cards and do sweet little things like that for him. It%26#039;s still early on, and he may have cute stuff planned for later on in your relationship!


What would your friends have you tell him anyway, %26quot;hey, you need to buy me a card?%26quot; You cant demand thoughtfulness. I have learned this. You can set an example through your actions and hopefully he will follow your example.


I think your friends in this case are being overly critical, which makes sense because they love you!

P.S. I already asked this question before, but am looking for more opinions.

What to do with a guy who doesn%26#039;t really see the need in giving flowers or cards etc?
it sounds like we are dating the same guy!!! i had the same problem at one time. my guy was really sweet but was lacking in the romance department. a lot of guys don%26#039;t realize that women truly appreciate small thoughtful gestures. i talked to my guy and told him that while i do appreciate the things he does for me (buying me dinner, taking me out on the town,e tc) i would like for him to do smaller things to let me know he%26#039;s care. since that convo, he has really stepped up to the plate! so, if this situation bothers you, talk to your guy. if not, forget what your friends say.





also, stop telling your friends about everything that happens between you and your man. sometimes, they will not always steer you in the right direction.
Reply:My opinion is that you must be about 14 years old to celebrate a 1 month anniversary and worry about what your friends say.
Reply:He did get you something a full tummy. Guys don%26#039;t get all involved in anniversaries. I do think your friends are over reacting I mean it%26#039;s a month for crying out loud.
Reply:really would not read too much into this. he probably feels that a card which will eventually be discarded and flowers will eventually die is just ironic. and feels that it would e ebtter actually doing soemthing with you too create memories of you and him together.


dont worry it is a good thing. he is just more of the do stuff with than do stuff for u type of guy which is good.
Reply:Well, as a guy, I don%26#039;t understand this thing about one month anniversaries. I mean, I can understand a year, but monthly anniversaries are just too much. It just feels like saying %26quot;Phew, we made it to a month%26quot;.





I%26#039;d do something amazingly nice for her, on the first anniversary, and in the meantime give her flowers, and random cards to know that she%26#039;s on my thoughts.





Now that said, maybe he is a different kinda guy. There are many variations of us, actually :) So, talk to him... casually bring up the conversation of anniversaries and ask him how you should plan to celebrate your anniversary. It will give you the chance to open up and discuss more on whats going on inside...





This is nothing critical at all. Don%26#039;t scare the poor guy away :)
Reply:no, u should not say anything. ur friends r being overcritical. it is a 1 month aniversary, hes not proposing and ur not married. As u said he bought u a nice dinner and u were happy. So leave it at that! Do not take all ur relationship advice from ur friends. You have to follow YOUR heart and YOUR head or else u will fail.
Reply:Send yourself flowers and then tell him %26quot;thank you so much for the flowers you sent me! The card said anonymous - but I know it just HAD to be you! You are the sweetest man alive!!!%26quot; Maybe he%26#039;ll get the idea and be a little jealous at the same time!!
Reply:your Friends are too critical .. romance is not doing the sweet things on %26quot;critical times%26quot; but saying how beautiful he finds you every day and things along those lines, how long you have been together should not be as important as how much you care for one another
Reply:It%26#039;s not the object he gives you but the time and love. What are flowers something to waste money on there going to die with time you want something that is going to last with the relationship. What do people do with store bought cards they thow them in a corner to never be seen again a waste of money. Moneys not what a relationship is built on, IT%26#039;S LOVE!!!!. So in the end a homemade gift comes from the heart it%26#039;s true love. Just be happy he%26#039;s showning he loves you!!!!!!!!
Reply:If you don%26#039;t say anything and resent him for it you will be to blame. If your feeling something tell him honesty is the best policy If he changes you will know it was for you. If he does not you will know how things will be if you pursue this relationship with him. you cant make him change only ask. better to know what your in for that%26#039;s why you are dating in the first place.


p.s. friends always seem to look for drama.
Reply:Well, I think there should be bigger milestones. One month isn%26#039;t a big deal. On your one year anniversary, there should be tokens of affection. But, just a warning, to have expected tokens on milestones really isn%26#039;t spontaneous. I%26#039;ve been married fifteen years, and it really is the %26quot;just because%26quot; flowers and tokens that still make my heart go pitter patter.

The "designated" gift is flowers for girls what is it for guys if any?

why%26#039;s the man gotta buy stuff like that and supposed t o hold doors for girls and all that jazz when all of these woman are pushing to be considerd equal

The %26quot;designated%26quot; gift is flowers for girls what is it for guys if any?
Guys don%26#039;t have to buy anything. It%26#039;s a romantic gesture and a way of thanking the girl for going out with the guy. It puts things on a good note to begin the evening.





If I am invited to a guys house for dinner or whatever, I usually bring the wine.
Reply:More imporant than the gift is the thought and motivation that it represents.





I think your questions confuse %26quot;obligation%26quot; with %26quot;regard%26quot;





While some degree of self preservation seems to always factor into our motivation, your view that these actions are just obligations gives your questions a tone of shallowness, resentment and emotional immaturity. (I am not intending to insult you- I just want to point out that this is not a good approach if you want to endear yourself to a wider selection of females) You will be happy to learn that a man is not obligated to %26quot;buy stuff%26quot; for a woman, nor is he %26quot;supposed%26quot; to %26quot;hold doors for girls and all that jazz%26quot;.





The act of gift giving or extending a courtesy is meaningless to the receiver unless it is performed out of a sense of regard. Men who sincerely treat women and others with regard and thoughtfulness tend to also possess a greater sense of self-respect and confidence in themselves- they are not threatened by a woman%26#039;s success or desire for equality, they recognize the value of creating harmony and happiness around them, and consequently, they tend to be much more attractive to women.
Reply:The designated gift for guys? Submission, of course.

I really like this one girl so if I bought her some flowers and a nice card would that make me look desperate?

Is buying a girl you like just a simple gift like flowers and a card make a guy look desperate??

I really like this one girl so if I bought her some flowers and a nice card would that make me look desperate?
Its only desperate if you go overboard and do it all the time. It sounds like a nice gift. If she likes you and goes out with you and you want to keep surprising her, Id say once a month is not too desperate looking for that kind of gift giving.
Reply:awww....no very sweet and romantic...DO IT! she%26#039;ll love it. %26lt;3
Reply:It could come off as a little much, but if she knows you like her and she%26#039;s into it, then yes it%26#039;s really sweet. Now if you know for a fact that this girl does not like you, send nothing. If you just don%26#039;t know either way, just send her flowers. The card is a little much for me.
Reply:It%26#039;s not a simple gift to tell you the truth. Actually I%26#039;m pretty sure this girl has been won over without the guy buying this particular girl a damn thing. If she%26#039;s not your girlfriend (I don%26#039;t even care if she%26#039;s your date) DON%26#039;T DO IT.
Reply:Yes. Very much so.
Reply:nOoOo it doesnt.. it shows u r very sweet
Reply:thats a good idea go for it :)
Reply:It kind of depends on the girl. As for me, I see no problem with flowers and a card. Personally I find that very sweet... I don%26#039;t really see it as desperate.
Reply:No. We like stuff like that. Brownie points for you
Reply:No it does not make you look desperate. I think its really sweet of you to romance her in that way.
Reply:Nope, it makes u look cute.
Reply:Honestly, I think it is very sweet.
Reply:Card and flowers is a bit overboard. If you haven%26#039;t approached her, go for the one or two flowers approach. It%26#039;s not big and showy, and cards leave you thinking %26quot;What do I do with it now?%26quot; where flowers can be put in a vase and admired or even carried. Maybe put a small card from the florist inside that says %26quot;Go to a movie with me sometime?%26quot;





It%26#039;s not too pushy, shows a touch of romance, shows you thought about what to give, and puts the ball into her court with a clear message from you.





This approach swept me off my feet far more than guys with a dozen roses.
Reply:Leave the flowers and card for her somewhere... That way it gives her a chance to take it all in, think for a bit without pressure. Very sweet idea though, do it!
Reply:no it%26#039;s really sweet, just make sure she appreciates it, if not screw her.
Reply:I don%26#039;t know how long you have known her. Are you dating? Wait until you feel that you two are going somewhere. Then she will really like it. It is good for guys to bring flowers without an occasion.

Should I send my ex a bday present? Card? Flowers?

My ex (went out for a yr) and I still got along really well (talk for hrs often - practically every day) and had hooked up occasionally...after 7 months of this, I decided it was time I needed some space to move on properly. Now i dont wanna get back with her.. but i still dont like hearing about her new guy/s etc. and shes shown some jealous tendencies towards girls i see. I still care for her..as a close friend or even more but im certain i dont want it to go back to a relationship.





I have removed all her contact info from anything that is easily accessible to me..ie phone messenger etc. to get out of the comfort rutt.





But its her bday in a month.. I know im not totally over her.. (slowly getting there).. Will sending a gift/card/flowers be a setback for either of us (I dont intend on going back to the daily talks again)?





She really wanted to keep me in her life but I just cant be friends after a relationship...so the cut off was my decision.

Should I send my ex a bday present? Card? Flowers?
That can be kind of tricky...presents and flowers?..I%26#039;m pretty sure you%26#039;re asking this question because you don%26#039;t really want to pass up her bday without giving anything at all....but still a present or even flowers I don%26#039;t think those are good. Flowers are quite meaningful to a girl...and more at that if its from an ex. It would mix things up too much. Just a sweet simple card wishing her a happy birthday and etc. would be nice and friendly-thoughtful. good luck!
Reply:If your trying to cut her off then No, don%26#039;t get her anything. Otherwise your just going to lead her on.
Reply:you have to decide.. how important is she in your life.. which position does she take??.. no one can decide that for you.


You decide.. and do the same to let her know.. simple.
Reply:You don`t want her in your life so why do you think you should send her something for her bd? It is a bad idea.


You don`t want to have anything around you that reminds you of her so move on.


Get out into the world and meet new people. Join something.


Every time you feel like you want to talk to her just call your mom or sibling.
