What are your thoughts on this?Have you ever bought your husband/partner flowers? and if so what was his responce?I have done this once or twice for my fiance, I don't think giving flowers should be restricted to just a male partner giving them to his significant other. I think my fiance was a little shocked the first time I gave him flowers but pleased, after all it was just another way for me to let him know I care and was thinking of him.

Well at least if he comes home and and asks why you sent him flowers you can say you thought about what he said last year and you thought he would appreciate them. You'll have to let u know what his reaction is.

To be honest I'm not the biggest flower fan but when I receive them it's more about the thought that is behind it for me than the actual flowers themselves.

I personally haven't done it, but there's nothing wrong with it.

Thats the way I see it and it must get boring for guys to only ever get the usual stuff like socks, ties and smelly stuff.

i'm sure he was shocked at first, it's just not something that is usually done, but why shouldn't it be? I don't see anything wrong with giving a man flowers..no, a man may not be as appreciative of their beauty as a woman, but it doesn't mena men can't love flowers just for the sake of being something wonderful and caring that his woman did for him.

Exactly and that was the way he took it, it was something I had done for him just to show I was thingking of him and that I care.

Well I hope when you do give him flowers he appreciates them and shows his appreciation in a fitting manner.

i dont mind flowers i like some flowers but that dosent make me gay or girly or whatever lol some guys are obviously mortified at the fact if they recieved flowers, sometimes because of the cost and they think they could have spent the money on something better and another reason could be that its not a matcho thing to be recieving flowers.

Yes I think the biggest reason most guys would not admit to liking receiving flowers is the macho thing but there is nothing wrong with a guy being able to appreciate some of the 'gentler' things in life.

Funny you should say that, my fiancé would much prefer a nice big cheeseburger (homemade) or maybe a big bag of his favourite sweets but can't give him what he wants all the time ;o)

In my opinion guys don't like flowers. They will not appreciate the beauty of flower. I know this because I am a guy my self. There a some special occasion when a guy do receive flower. It is when the guy in a hospital or the guy are gay, other than that I can't think of any reason guy will appreciate the flowers.
If a guy receive a flower , they will not know what to do with it. It is a bit weird for a guy receiving flower. If you looking for present I will am suggest classics gift such as "tie".
Most male will be shocked like your fiance , It is like girl receiving video games. ( I am not sure this is a good example but as far as I know not much female like to play video games). It will be strange and I do not wish to receive it either. That is what I though anyway . I hope that it do answer your question.

As I said I have done this for my fiance more than once and he was only shocked the first time but it is not something I do/or would do on a regular basis just every now and again. And as for looking for presents I think he would be even less impressed if I gave him a 'tie'.
