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.
I had an ex who loved growing flowers. 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.
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.
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.
same, and honestly, I’m not sure I’ll be able to receive them in an appropriate way.

I’m sure he appreciated it, you are a good wife

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.
Most of them don’t get murdered in the process, the flowers are not the vital parts.
I like houseplants. They have a similar sentimental impact as flowers, but last much longer

Women’s Day is a gift giving holiday??
