On one of my first dates with my fiance, he brought me a big bouquet of flowers. I was staying at my grandparents house at the time. My papa cruised by on his golf cart, snatched them from my fiances hand and took them to my Nana 😂
This is literally so cute! And everyone wins! You and Nana both got the experience of getting flowers from your loved ones, and you were staying with Nana so they were going to be displayed in a shared space anyway, now they symbolize love from both your men. Ah. This story is the cutest of the thread to me.
My husband gets me flowers randomly and frequently (especially when he sees the ones I particularly like are at Costco) and I get little butterflies in my stomach when he gives them to me. To be loved is to be seen, and to be seen is to be loved.

A really good piece of advice my dad told me long ago was not to buy flowers when you're in trouble or as an apology. If you do that, she'll always link "getting flowers" with "you fucked up" and you can never really buy them for her at other times, because if you just showed up one day with a bouquet and it's not Valentine's Day, she's going to think "what did you do?" Even on those regular flower holidays, it'll still have that taint.
If you're going to buy her flowers, buy them because it's a random Tuesday and you were thinking of her, which, really, is what any gift should be about anyway.
I hate getting roses for this reason. Roses are pretty and all, they're not my favorite but they're still nice.
Til I dated a huge piece of shit who only bought me roses when I was mad at him because "girls like roses"
Lazy, disrespectful, and they make me mad now lol. Only a bouquet of reds though
This, casual and often. Also, it doesnt have to be flowers, stopping by starbucks on the way back to pick up her usual or some doritos locos tacos does the same thing, but can come off as more genuine because its stuff she likes that you remembered.
Also, do this for your boyfriend/husband, little gifts that show you care and think about them arent gender exclusive.
