If your spouse or partner bought you flowers, just because, would you

question why or just accept them graciously?

...(even if you thought why have they bought them for me today, its not a special day or anything! ;))

My co-worker and spouse had an arguement over this over the weekend, she asked him why he bought them for her, (not Valentine related) instead of saying how nice they were, etc...oops!

This is kind of related--dh bought me flowers once. He scheduled them to be sent to me in the middle of IEP annual review week to un-stress me. But before they came, I went online to pay a bill and saw the charge from the florist. I went home to ask him which funeral we needed to send flowers to. :rotfl: :rotfl2:
 
I LOVE getting them so I would accept them and say thank you thank you!!

I also buy DVDs or CDs for DH (those are man flowers, young ladies) at random. Or if I am out of ideas, a $15 iTunes card rocks his world).

I was at the flower shop Friday getting a bouquet for a dinner party that evening. The other fellow in the shop was getting flowers for his girlfriend...who WORKS in the same shop. (She wasn't working at the time). I asked, and said girlfriend LOVES getting flowers, so there.
 
I love it when my husband brings home flowers "just because". It means more to me than getting them for say my birthday or valentines day. I've never assumed he's giving me flowers because he's done something wrong.

I do stuff like that for DBF too....sometimes its as stupid as a NY Giants item I see somewhere....or I make him a CD of acostic Candle Box etc...

I've been known to put the CD into his CD player of his peterbuilt, so he finds out when he starts his truck :)
 

Awh, how sweet! :thumbsup2
And he's raising our boys right! Last week he and DS7 came home from the grocery store, and DS7 handed me a bouquet of fluorescent pink, orange, green, blue and purple daisies! He said, "Here, Mama, these are for you, I picked them out myself!" :lovestruc

I'd never seen flowers sooooo... vibrant! :lmao:
 
When we dated DH brought me roses for every date. That got old, but I wish I had never told him since now I don't get them. Sometimes I get them at Thanksgiving from guest and I love them. I prefer the 'mixed' over roses. If DH brought them home I would probably ask why so I know to do whatever it was again and get more flowers;) I don't want him to spend a fortune, just a few bucks now and then;)
 
DH buys me flowers just because and it's always a great pick me up. I'd rather he do that than get them on Valentine's Day because he thought he was supposed to. Besides, I like a mixed bouquet from the grocery store much better than roses anyway.

I guess I don't consider his doing that as any different than my making his favorite dinner for no reason.

exactly!

my birthday is the day after valentines day- DBF knows that if he has the urge to buy roses, he better wait a day and get them on my birthday since they will be that much cheaper....but he probably wont get roses anyway- I'm not a big rose fan.

though.....this just reminded me

One night, DBF had a layover about 2 hours away, and I was bummed. It didnt make sense for him to come home, but he knew how much I wanted to see him.

I ended up being awoken to the smell of a rose, at 2:30am

Single rose, in DBF's hand, holding it under my nose until i woke up.....

That, was definetly a rose worth getting, and trust me I did not do much talking to ask why i got it....

thanks for that reminder, I'm writing out my 100 reasons I love him for his valentines day vase, and just got another one!

When DH buys me flowers it's usually for no reason.

Well that's not completely true. He figures if I'm happy he'll be happy. ;)
 
My DH will surprise me with flowers. If he stops at the grocery store on the way home from work to pick up some things sometimes he'll grab a pretty bouquet. :lovestruc
 
DBF brings me flowers all the time just because. He usually gives me silly reasons like he bought them because he likes the way I smile when he gives them to me, or they reminded him of me.
 
I get random flowers about once a month and never think DH is being anything other than sweet. Granted these are "grocery store flowers," which, according to an episode of Rachael Ray I watchd last week, I should be offended that he didn't put more thought into it. But you know what? If my husband walks past the flowers at Publix and thinks, "Huh, I think I'll get my wife some flowers," that's enough thought for me.
 
Oh, man - this brings back memories! My dad would bring my mom flowers once in a while "just because" and our good neighbor across the street would tease him and ask "what'd you do this time?" ! It was a running joke in the neighborhood. 'Course this neighbor never bought his wife flowers!
 
I have on occasion gotten flowers for no reason. They are all the more special to me because DH is allergic and I know that after just a day his allergies will act up. He says he does it for me because he knows how much "no reason" flowers mean to me.

Well you are better than I. If DH had pulled that on me, he would be the one with a flower up his nose. :lmao:


DH has, on occasion, brought me flowers for no reason. And I agree with the posters who say they prefer "no reason" flowers to special occasion flowers. I used to love roses, and of course still do, but now I prefer to get a simpler bouquet that doesn't cost so much. And on occasion I treat myself to some flowers. Trader Joe's usually has so many pretty bouquets for under $10, I just can't pass them up.
 
i would probably faint. my boyfriend does not buy me flowers. in the 4 years i've been with him i've gotten flowers in the form of a plant maybe 2-3 times. i love flowers and he knows it (i tell him that i love them). he just doesn't think to get me them i guess? it really bums me out. :guilty: he's not romantic AT ALL.
 
Funny story:

The first time I met DBF we spent the night talking after going out with a group of friends. When it was time to say goodnight, he opened the trunk, took out a huge bouquet of flowers and handed them to me.

I was extremely surprised, how did he know we would meet??

He didn't know of course. They were for his date the following night (which he cancelled) :rotfl:



DBF used to get me flowers "just because". Now he gets them for "events"- when I completed my licensing exams and last weekend, 3 red roses prior to a heart to heart after a few rough weeks :goodvibes
