I was thinking of putting a nice vase with a dozen roses on my GF%26#039;s piano...
Which flowers are a better Valentines day Gift?????????
I think that is a great idea...roses are always nice to recieve. They might be commun to some but they are still a special kind of flower with lots of meaning ^^.
Take care.
Reply:a dozen Iris flowers, better touch......roses are played out.
Reply:red roses are classic, but if you want to be different, try daisies. they%26#039;re my fav. cause they come in so many pretty colors
Reply:Anything but roses.... Roses are totally cliche and totally over-priced on Valentine%26#039;s day. The absolute best idea is to subtly find out what her favourite flower is, and then get the florist to make up a bunch for you - with her fav as the primary flower. This way, you can also control the price... you decide how big the bunch is and you decide how many of her fav flowers there should be.... even personalise it a little more by doing something symbolic - like one flower for each month or year you%26#039;ve been together... she%26#039;ll love the extra thought if you bring it to her attention in a personalised card!
Good luck!

Gifts for children in the bridal party?
I am getting my bridesmaids jewerly as a %26quot;thank you%26quot; gift.
Our guestbook attendant is a young lady of 12, and our flower girl is 3 years old. What are appropiate gifts for the guestbook attendant and flower girl?
Gifts for children in the bridal party?
gift cards. get them a gift card to a popular children%26#039;s.teenage shop. kids are hard to buy for at that age, let them pick it out for themselves.
Reply:Give them a little bouque of pretty fake flowers to remember the wedding, or a hair clip or something.
Reply:I think you could get the 12 yr old jewelery as well. Even a simple charm bracelet would be nice %26amp; make her feel special %26amp; a part of the bridal party.
The three year old- ask her parents what she likes. Maye a stuffed animal or tiara or even child appropriate jewelry.
Reply:I%26#039;d get the 3 year old a dress up %26quot;wedding dress%26quot;. You can find them in any toy department. My daughter was in a wedding and she became bride obsessed.
Reply:you could get them matching bracelets
Reply:The 12 year old is old enough to not only appreciate jewelry, but also to feel left out if the others got jewelry and she didn%26#039;t. Depending on the jewelry that the bridesmaids are getting, you can either get her the same thing or something less expensive, like a simple chain with her name on it.
The 3 year old will benefit most from a small toy or t-shirt. Ask her parents what they%26#039;d prefer (I think a wedding-themed baby doll would be nice, or a canvas tote bag with her name on it that says flowergirl).
Reply:Give your flower girl a tiara for her to wear during the wedding. Not only will it be usefull for her Mom to be able to figure out how to fix her hair, but she can always play dress-up with it after the wedding. If you%26#039;re not into the tiara thing during the wedding (like if you already have her wearing flowers or something like that) then get her some princess stuff. Find out what her favorite cartoon or show is and get her something from that. (ie. Dora the Explorer, Strawberry Short Cake, Cinderella, ect.)
The guestbook attendant, since she is 12, I%26#039;m sure would love to be pampered for a day. Get her a mani-pedi gift certificate. It%26#039;s fun and will make her feel not only great, but grown up and mature.
Reply:you can get the guest book attendant jewelry too! Then just get a cute bag with crayons coloring book and some fruit snacks or candy if the parents allow her to eat candy!
Reply:I think getting a necklace or bracelet would make most twelve-year-olds feel very grown up and happy. Otherwise, try to think of something she cares about and would enjoy, whether it%26#039;s a book or a picture frame or a poster of her favorite celebrity to hang up in her bedroom.
As for the three year old, perhaps a teddy bear in a wedding gown or a nice doll would be good. Or, if you%26#039;re giving everyone else jewelry, you could give her a pretty dress up set of %26#039;diamond%26#039; jewelry.
Reply:A bracelet or necklace for the 12 year old and a Barbie or some kind of toy the 3 year old can enjoy and open up and play with at the reception. Ask her mom for something she might be into.
Reply:I think a nice pair of earings, or a necklace (similar to the bridesmaids) would be best for the 12-year-old. That would make her feel included and %26quot;grown up%26quot;.
When my brother got married this spring, they got my son (ring bearer) and cousin (flower girl) character towels. It was kinda cute, because then both kids got virtually the same thing. However, usually any little toy or gift is ok for kids. Just remember, you usually give it to them at the rerhersal dinner, so you don%26#039;t want anything that will be too distracting, so stay away from noise makers.

Gifts for my boyfriend?
My boyfriend frequently surprises me with flowers and chocolate. I want to give him a surprise gift like he does for me, but I don%26#039;t really know what to get him. I%26#039;m not looking for one of those practical gifts either. I want to give him something fun because he is almost always serious (pre-med major). I%26#039;ve cooked him dinner, gave him practical needed items, and give him candies from time to time. We have a pretty good sex life so I don%26#039;t really need bedroom suggestions. What is something totally unexpected?

You did some pretty good ideas. You can surprise him by writing him little notes around the house or in his books telling him you%26#039;re thinking of him and love him. Giving him a relaxing massage or drawing a relaxing bath. Or how bout taking him to dinner or baking him his favorite sweets, maybe like during finals week you can just cook dinner for him all week or something. Get creative.
I%26#039;m sure no matter what you do, it will be from the heart and he will appreciate it. He%26#039;s a lucky guy!

Help a Disabled Guy put his heart on the line -Buying Flowers ( Help)?
I am a tiny bit interested in a girl that cuts my hair. I am a disabled guy (cerebral palsy) that happens to be shy when it comes to the ladies. However, this girl has a very caliming personality and seems to have an open mind. If I was going to buy her flowers, a belated Valentine%26#039;s Day gift, what kind would you recommend? I do not want any red or pink roses in the bundle. Do you know of any good companies that are reasonable in price and deliver. I live in the great state Michigan.
Thanks,
Mike

How do I make my husband get me gifts? Like bday presents...?
He remembers my bdays but a nice pat on the back is all I get. I always make his day super special w/ gifts and romance but no matter how many hints I send him (love flowers, romantic dinner, not expensive stuff) he believes that gifts are a waste of money. He says his money is my money and just go buy something if I wanted .. but that is not what I want. I wish my husband would give me a surprise %26quot;anything%26quot; just once a year. Forget Christmas, Valentines, he just believes in NO celebration. (I am so complete opposite). It is so unromantic, so frustrating in those special days.
How do I make my husband get me gifts? Like bday presents...?
You can%26#039;t really make him buy you gifts, instead, you have to talk to him and let him know that every now and then, you would enjoy the element of surprise in your relationship. If he thinks it%26#039;s a waste of money, there are other ways to surprise you. My husband and I do believe that Valentine%26#039;s day, etc are all wasteful holidays that stores promote in order to make more money. If he wants it to be meaningful, he can do something as simple as cooking a nice meal for you or cleaning up the house. When I come home from work and I see that my fiance has gone through great lengths and effort to cook me supper, it makes my day.
If he still doesn%26#039;t clue in, you really have to spell it out for him. Men don%26#039;t get it, they are clueless when it comes to these things.

Reply:I guilted mine into straightening up his act... I spent sooo many years without ever getting anything recognized...so one year, I think it was Mothers Day and it came and again it was nothing to him...I mean, I%26#039;d only given him 4 kids no big deal right? So, my oldest had made soemthing at school for me and when I opened it, it reminded me how unappreciated I was by my hub and I spent the whole day crying over it....everytime he asked what was wrong I told him over and over that i was obviously wasting my time as I was totally unappreciated..and unloved. Whe3n he argued he did love me, I kept telling him ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS BUDDY! Then I turned and made his Fathers Day awesome.....and then my kids on Fathers Day said to him..How come you don%26#039;t do this for Mommy on Mothers Day? I think thats what finally got him..... Now I get gifts for everything..
Reply:It%26#039;s one thing to be %26quot;unromantic%26quot; - but he sounds completely and utterly selfish to boot. Marriage isn%26#039;t all about how *you* feel, it%26#039;s a lot about how your partner feels. I don%26#039;t know how to %26quot;make%26quot; him do something he sees no value in doing - and I%26#039;m not talking about the %26quot;gifts%26quot; per say, but about making his partener happy. I suppose, one practical solution would be to do something special on these days *together* - like, plan a small get-away together, go to a nice dinner together, buy something that both of you have been wanting to buy, together. I%26#039;m afraid, tho, that he will never get it, you%26#039;ll always have to be the insigator.
Then again, if this is his only fault, you%26#039;re not doing so bad!
Reply:You cannot make him do anything. You should have recognized this about him when you were dating. Accept him for who is is. Pray that he will become more considerate to your needs. and take the money he offered and treat yourself to a relaxing day at the spa. or whatever is comfortable for you.
Reply:Mr. Chivalry says, %26quot;If a man can%26#039;t do the same for you, then he doesn%26#039;t deserve it. Wait, I shouldn%26#039;t say that. I%26#039;d say, slow down on getting him so much, but continue to be the bigger person. Ultimately he SHOULD see how special he is to you, and if he can%26#039;t or doesn%26#039;t, then use the money you spend on him, to treat yourself. He%26#039;ll realize what he%26#039;s missing.%26quot;
Reply:http://www.LadderGolfGame.com
Reply:Just go buy what you want and give him the receipt if you have separate bank account. If you share accounts then that%26#039;s easier just buy what you want and tell him thanks. You don%26#039;t need to make a big deal out of it. Plus you know most men suck at picking good gift. I have to bring a catalog home and make the pages or print off items I would like and leave them on his desk. But still I get either the wrong color or the wrong size. So I just do it my self and give him the receipt for reimbursement.
Reply:Stop buying him gifts. That should send him the message. You can%26#039;t make him buy gifts for you. What would be the fun in getting something you had to force him to buy?
Reply:Stop!!! Don%26#039;t get him anything, and stop celebrating his days!!!
I bet he will miss it.

Who in the wedding party are you buying gifts for?
i know the MOH, Bridesmaids, bestman, groomsmen, flower girl and ring bearer get gifts but where do you stand on the mothers of the bride and groom?

my dad is doing the videoing of the wedding so i am giving him something.
anyone else i should be buying for?
Who in the wedding party are you buying gifts for?
You have to buy something special for the mother, I bought a jewlery box from things remembered and put a locket inside with a picture of my husband and I in it
Reply:I%26#039;m buying for the attendants only. We are not having flower girls or ringbearers.
We are ordering corsages for our Moms and boutenierres for the Dads, not giving them gifts. They will all get special photos (paid for by us) AFTER the wedding, but thats the extent of it. If they were contributing to or paying for the wedding, I think a Thank You gift might be in order - but they aren%26#039;t doing that in our case.
Reply:I will be getting something for my mum as she has helped me out heaps with the wedding. I think if they played a part in the wedding, whether it be planning, financial or just opinions when asked for them then get them a gift. If they did nothing then dont get them one.
It doesn%26#039;t have to be anything big...
I am only buying for wedding party and parents.
Reply:They usually get a bouquet of flowers at the speeches. All the best for your big dayXXX
Reply:we are getting gifts for all of the wedding party %26amp; both of our parents.
The guys are all getting mugs w/ their names on them. (the groomsmen and the dad%26#039;s) and my girls are going to get %26quot;goodie%26quot; bags with lotions and random other things in them. I have no idea what I am getting the mothers yet, but I do know we are getting them something.
Reply:we are buying both mothers a boquet of flowers and my mother i am buying a little extra as she made all the invatations and has done lots of work towards the wedding!!
both sets of mothers genreally get something
i also got my nan something as she paid for the flowers and also a friend who is settng the tables at the reception
Reply:we bought picture frames for our parents from www.jessicaswedding.com. they came with an engraved plate with our wedding date and names on them and where really pretty glass with mother of pearl flowers. the best part is they were cheap (only $25 each). You can%26#039;t go wrong with a picture present for your parents :D
Reply:I got gifts for my wedding party as you mentioned. I also got:
Our parents got BIG gifts, as they had all given SO much in order to make the wedding happen.
Our readers got little gifts, just a token of our appreciation.
My cousin played the organ as our wedding gift. I got him a small gift as well. (Chocolate, as a thank you)
My aunt was the %26quot;wedding planner%26quot; that the church required. This was a TOTALLY messed up situation, but anyway...we got her a box of chocolates as well.
We also got our grandparents a small frame and put a picture in it.
FYI: My %26quot;small gifts%26quot; were gourmet chocolate from Godiva. They were having a sale, and we got six boxes of chocolates and four %26quot;wedding cake%26quot; chocolates for $40 total. (Generally, the %26quot;cakes%26quot; alone are $20 for four!) I think we spent about $900 - $1000 for all the gifts combined, except the parents. (Ten attendants, two flower girls plus all the chocolates and frames)
We bought jewelry cases and necklace/earing sets for the girls. The boxes were all engraved with a %26quot;(Name)Thanks so much. Love, (Bride) and (Groom) (date)%26quot; For the guys we got them pocket watches, again engraved with %26quot;Thanks (Groom) and (Bride)%26quot; with their initials on the other side. For the flower girls we bought frames, engraved with their name and our names, a wedding picture to be added. We also bought them a bunch of fun kid stuff (what 2 or 5 year old wants a frame, really?).

should i give them somthing?
my dad is doing the videoing of the wedding so i am giving him something.
anyone else i should be buying for?
Who in the wedding party are you buying gifts for?
You have to buy something special for the mother, I bought a jewlery box from things remembered and put a locket inside with a picture of my husband and I in it
Reply:I%26#039;m buying for the attendants only. We are not having flower girls or ringbearers.
We are ordering corsages for our Moms and boutenierres for the Dads, not giving them gifts. They will all get special photos (paid for by us) AFTER the wedding, but thats the extent of it. If they were contributing to or paying for the wedding, I think a Thank You gift might be in order - but they aren%26#039;t doing that in our case.
Reply:I will be getting something for my mum as she has helped me out heaps with the wedding. I think if they played a part in the wedding, whether it be planning, financial or just opinions when asked for them then get them a gift. If they did nothing then dont get them one.
It doesn%26#039;t have to be anything big...
I am only buying for wedding party and parents.
Reply:They usually get a bouquet of flowers at the speeches. All the best for your big dayXXX
Reply:we are getting gifts for all of the wedding party %26amp; both of our parents.
The guys are all getting mugs w/ their names on them. (the groomsmen and the dad%26#039;s) and my girls are going to get %26quot;goodie%26quot; bags with lotions and random other things in them. I have no idea what I am getting the mothers yet, but I do know we are getting them something.
Reply:we are buying both mothers a boquet of flowers and my mother i am buying a little extra as she made all the invatations and has done lots of work towards the wedding!!
both sets of mothers genreally get something
i also got my nan something as she paid for the flowers and also a friend who is settng the tables at the reception
Reply:we bought picture frames for our parents from www.jessicaswedding.com. they came with an engraved plate with our wedding date and names on them and where really pretty glass with mother of pearl flowers. the best part is they were cheap (only $25 each). You can%26#039;t go wrong with a picture present for your parents :D
Reply:I got gifts for my wedding party as you mentioned. I also got:
Our parents got BIG gifts, as they had all given SO much in order to make the wedding happen.
Our readers got little gifts, just a token of our appreciation.
My cousin played the organ as our wedding gift. I got him a small gift as well. (Chocolate, as a thank you)
My aunt was the %26quot;wedding planner%26quot; that the church required. This was a TOTALLY messed up situation, but anyway...we got her a box of chocolates as well.
We also got our grandparents a small frame and put a picture in it.
FYI: My %26quot;small gifts%26quot; were gourmet chocolate from Godiva. They were having a sale, and we got six boxes of chocolates and four %26quot;wedding cake%26quot; chocolates for $40 total. (Generally, the %26quot;cakes%26quot; alone are $20 for four!) I think we spent about $900 - $1000 for all the gifts combined, except the parents. (Ten attendants, two flower girls plus all the chocolates and frames)
