Ladies, question about getting flowers for my girl on Valentine's Day...?

My question is do I still need to buy her flowers if I already bought her a iPod and spent the time and energy to fill it up with her favorite music. It's not a cheap Nano either, it's the 30gb Video one. I don't really think spending $50+ (they jack up the prices for V-Day) is worth it. Also, let me mention that this is a long-distance relationship so unfortunately I won't be able to see her.

send her 1 pretty fake flower!! that way she will be able to keep it forever!!!!!!
Reply:Me personally, I wouldn't want the flowers but I'm not a high maintenance kind of gal who expects stuff like that. It totally depends on your girlfriend's personality.





Another option would be to not get a dozen roses, but some other type of arrangement. Go to your florist and look at the arrangements with flowers besides roses and see what you think looks pretty. It doesn't have to be huge to be meaningful. A heartfelt letter doesn't hurt either! ( I know you guys hate that stuff)
Reply:Ok, so are you going to send her the ipod? Heres what I think... because I'm in a long distance relationship too. If your not going to see her or be able to give her the ipod for v-day the she is expecting something to arrive at her house.. I don't care who she is! I would send a card! Then surprise her with the ipod later when you see her. But if you are going to ship her the ipod in time for V-day I wouldn't worry about sending anything else.. like flowers or anything else.. she will see the time and energy you spent to fill it up with the songs she likes... what a sweetie!! Great gift!! I would still get a card though!!
Reply:Flowers are always nice. One of the best things is getting flowers at work. BUT not on cliche days like Valentines. It's best when it's for no reason at all. Not only do women love flowers (I don't care what anyone says, we do!), BUT the best feeling is when you get them at work and every woman in the place is seething with jealousy. It may sound lame, but it makes you feel so damn good! LOL I think you're good with just the iPod. And congrats on a really cool gift for your girl.
Reply:if you bought her the ipod for valentines day then no, you do not have to buy her flowers.
Reply:Honestly the ipod was way enough but i think in a few weeks after valentines day you should send some flowers to work so she will feel special and no one else will have any in there office any more.





Good luck
Reply:Forget it!





Send her a card





If you've been seperated for longer than 6 months, the relationships over with anyway- she's just using you for free stuff
Reply:no..but you can pick some roses up at costco for less than $15... or try trader joes. they both have nice flowers for great prices. and remember you don't need to buy roses either. the i-pod is super sweet.
Reply:i don't think that you need to get her flowers as well, that is really up to you. i think that what you did was sweet by filling it up with her favorite music, if you want you can send her one rose with it. i always like the one rose over a dozen.
Reply:YES EVEN THOUGH YOU DONE ALL THAT AND YES ITS GREAT..YOU SHOULD SEND HER FLOWERS TO WORK. EVERYBODY BE GETING THEM AND SHE WOULD LOVE TO ALSO.
Reply:getting flowers for someone is stupid because they just dye with in 2 days and are forgotten about with an i pod it will be used alot and it will last long and she will think of you while listening to her favorite music
Reply:Pick up some cheap flowers at your local store.





Sorry... just read your last part.... nah, dont bother, the ipod is fine.... I hope u dont have one of those internet relationships where you have never even met her... cause man thats a total waste of your money!
Reply:Don't get me wrong .Girls like flowers but that gets old.I believe you done good.But enclose a card.
Reply:I think that you should still get her a rose or two, it would definitely be the cool thing to do. I would appreciate it more anyway, even if it was one rose, or a little flower that you had picked yourself. I think you should send her at least one.
Reply:You don't need flowers if you aren't going to see her. If you showed up at her door without flowers she would be pi$$ed.
Reply:Normally, I would say skip the flowers, but since it's a long distance relationship, a cardboard box from UPS seems a bit cold. There are some better deals online, but you've missed the window of cheaper opportunity (for next year, please note: you can actually order the flowers a month before on the online retailers and hold the January price). Maybe you could contact a florist in her area. Not only will you save on the shipping charge, you may also get nicer flowers than through an online florist.
Reply:Cool gift! :) No flowers needed. Enclose a hand-written note :)
Reply:I think that the i-pod is a great gift! Since it's a long distance relationship, I think that you should send her a small bouquet. Maybe at her job or someplace that is public so she can brag! That really makes us feel special! Good luck with your relationship!
