"Should I Give My Girlfriend or Wife Something for Valentines Day?"


It's a question man has been asking for years. And the answer may remain a mystery forever. On the one hand if you do get her something, she will be happy and like you, on the other hand... wow did you see that replay on ESPN?

Where was I? Oh yeah, Valentines day. The fact is Valentine's Day is important to girls and you probably should get her something even if you have trouble remembering it. One of the easiest and most appreciated gifts you can get her is flowers, particularly roses for romance. Seems cliche but it's not trust me. Girls always have and always will love flowers. On top of that 1800Flowers was recently featured on MSNBC as being the most upfront company as far as their charges and prices and all that, so they are definetly worth checking out.

1800Flowers Wants Your Blood! er, or something


There are two things that girls find incredibly romantic, I know this because I read a cosmo once in 1998 (it was horrible, like Saw, but I'm the dude in Saw, not the dude watching it, anyway...) this makes me an expert.

Girls think flowers are Romantic, and judging by the popularity of Twilight, they think killing another human being with your teeth by sucking out their blood so that you may live, is romantic. Yeah, I don't get it either, and I even read cosmo.

Listen, what I'm trying to get at here is that 1800Flowers is offering some kind of Twilight Valentines Day Flowers thing, and 1800 flowers was recently mentioned on MSNBC as the most open and fair as far as pricing and all that. If you are getting your girl flowers, as I've recommended in the past, then 1800Flowers is the way to go.

What Do Flowers Mean?


Flowers cross all cultural boundaries and have symbolized everything from love to sympathy at the loss of a loved one for as long as people can remember. Today flowers can be used for just about any occassion. A flower expert usually can even tell you which flowers mean what, one currently popular example is 1800Flowers.com. 1800 flowers is an example of a nation wide distrubutor of flowers able to deliver flowers for any occassion any time.

It was not always that easy though, traditionally one would have to pick flowers themself. It was common for one to bring flowers to a lover, or to a friend. But the kind of flower can make all of the difference.

For example red roses traditionally mean love, while a daisy or lilly would signify innocence. For a more generic gift, for a mother or a friend, perhaps an array of flowers, such as one found in a gift baskets

If you would like to know more about flowers and what they can symbolize, please contact a local expert.
