A person, let's call him me, has had a fall out with the other half and just wants to put everything behind and get back to everything nice that usually happens in the relationship.
So this person is going to go and meet said other half for getting off their train from work and wants to give a visual gesture of kindness.
Now: flowers say it ALL (they really do), but boys wouldn't want flowers. What else says as much as this?
a) no blow-job comments please: it's predictable and done often enough as it is
b) sorry for the emotional crap, i'm not usually such a pussy
Anal
It shows you care
Who says boys wouldn't want flowers?
I've bought boys flowers and they've been gobsmacked and touched to within an inch of their lives!
^Yes
Flowers, nothing wrong with that.
i wouldn't mind a bunch of flowers
really?!
You mean they went quiet?
Bright red, spluttering, the whole works.
Heh.
You amaze me.
Liar.
did they actually like it?
Yes, they really did.
Nobody had ever been thoughtful enough to buy them flowers before. They were really really pleased. One guy was choked and near to tears, twas sweet. I bought the most 'masculine' looking flowers I could find, mind you.
Maybe he had hayfever?
In February?
Well you had just given him a massive dose of pollen as a present.
:-P
:D
his inner monologue was screaming
"WHAT THE SHIT. SHE BOUGHT ME FLOWERS. FLOWERS! NOW THE FOUR HUNDRED PEOPLE WALKING PAST THINK I'M A GIANT COCK MUNCHING WEIRDO POOFTER. OH MY GOD I WANT TO DIE"
Full on Mark Peep Show style inner dying.
But yeah you could say he was choked up with emotion!
^^^
flowers have no use
heh :)
I really hope it was your version.
:o
Get a cactus
Or a bonsai
Or a cuddly stoat
Or maybe a mini hamper for 2, and put a rug on your living room floor for an indoor picnic
yeah i gave a boy flowers before.
:D
a cd of his favourite band
or better yet, a really rare vinyl.
This is a really interesting question
ive always wondered what to get a guy. It's obv flowers are for girls..
Chocolate FTW
A CD!
I don't know what your boyfriend likes though.
beat you to it :D
i get him CDs all the time though.
It's a great idea, but it doesn't seem as special
some people think flowers then?!
There's something about them, 'cause you can just see them instantly from a distance and it just says so much. Hmmm.
a really nice bottle of wine
with, i dunno, a well awesome bow on it or something
Bottle of JD?
He might thing wine's for pussies.
not a wine drinker =(
my girlfriend gets me some well nice cider
like stowford press or something. that proper cheers me up nd stuff
A barber shop quartet
Suck on that Dicko ;)
Ok, this sounds wrong.
It was in reference to Dicko's comment...oh forget it.
if a barber shop quartet turns up on my door...
Something relating to something he likes
or something that relates to a joke between you two - a reminder of better times.
I'd personally appreciate some stupid little token gift like a novetly mug.
Or a bottle of vodka/white wine.
^ this
WIN
oooh, that is a good idea.
Now to think think think think think
^ this
something like this, and the great thing is that it doesn't even have to be expensive, just thoughtful.
Plutonium
^this
^not this
^maybe that
...
"Here's some dead shit - now the issue is resolved"
Yes, you're right, that wouldn't work.
i was thinking about this
in the toilet just now. i thought wouldn't it be nice if someone sent me some flowers at work. or would it be really embarrassing? i voted that overall i'd love it beyond belief. so if anyone wants my work address, i'll give it to you.
if i bought some for Graham and he hated them, i could forward them?
yeah!
but i'd probably want to have sex with you afterwards so make sure you don't come near me for a while.
aye, you might be left bitterly disappointed there.
something really amusing but cute
someone gave me a joke wax finger for a birthday present when they didn't know me very well. i had to throw it away because it creeped me out, but it was an amusing comedy gift
herpes? that's pretty visual
erm, a thoughtful book, slim volume, nothing that looks like hard work, but that is still good
a mix cd with a hand-made envelope and something else, like really nice expensive biscuits (nothing cheap)
hand made mix cd
is the most amazing gift ever. especially when it's got great music on!
i would love this :(
^this is a good choice
Admittedly better than the barber shop quartet idea. I made someone a mix cd and I got a kiss, RESULT!
how about a mix cd made
by a barber shop quartet?
covering dismemberment plan songs!
SCORE!
^this
I <3 mixCDs!
get him an amazingly great record
that he doesnt already have, that'd make me happier than anything
whiskey, nice food, a bag of drugs or a nintendo wii would also make the average guy happy.
aye, i'd be happy with most of those.
Alas i need something super quickly, as i have to go home first before heading back into town for 6pm
with brawl, presumably
I upset my ex-boyfriend once
and sent him a 'gourmet' burger to his work for lunch to apologise which seemed to work.
that'd cheer up
my dull 10 hour day in an office SO much.
seriously, does any appreciate nice food as much as me?
i'd prefer an amazing meal to a lot of things. lots of my friends are pretty passe and boring when it comes to grub.
i'd take him out for dinner were i not so poor.
Food is always a great thing.
Or even better....
...cook him a lovely dinner at home which shows how much effort you've gone too. And cheaper!
*to
omg
marry me
me?
okay.
get a puppy or a kitten
they're not just for Christmas you know.
as an employee of Dogs Trust
i feel i must advise against this.
so a kitten
yeah?
I always wondered about this place when I've driven past it
What do dogs trust?
My mum is a florist, approximately one third of her client base are members of The Gays
....as such I can ensure you that boys really do like flowers!
my cousin is a florist and has a great shop on Hyndland road called ruby flowers!
*assure
*ass-ure
Hey, I'm just getting in there first
That's what he said, etc etc etc
"The Gays" ?
*punchs Alex's bollocks.
!
my spelling can go to hell too
'The Gays'
I always like to think of them as a massive NME buzz band!
i think i'd like someone to buy me flowers
don't know why, i just would. i'm sorry you fell out with him (i do know his name), i hope it's nothing serious.
I wouldn't be happy if someone bought me flowers.
Actually, all I want for an apology is an actual apology. And maybe a pint or two.
