Question for the ladies...

*watches thread flood with blokes*

Anyway, I have a few questions.

First, Flowers on Valentines to a girl you like but aren't seeing, yes or no?

If we continue on the basis of that being a yes, would you be upset to receive flower from Asda.com?

I ask because they do some rather nice looking bunches, at a fairly reasonable price compared to Interflora. As you've no doubt guessed, I can't really justify laying out loads on these so, hence looking at Asda (after SINC showed me it)

For example:
Interflora

vs

Asda

Now, personally I think the Asda ones look nicer with the extra grasses in there etc. but i'm worried that them arriving in an Asda van, delivered by an Asda uniformed bloke, in a box that says Asda on it, might make me come across as a total cheapskate.

So basically, will Asda flowers make me look cheap and which bunch do you think would look nicer anyway?

Ta for your help

Personally i wouldn't care if it was a bunch from ASDA it would just be nice that someone cared enough to think of me, but that is just me personally can't speak for the others.
I like the look of the ASDA ones in that picture though bigger blooms which is nice and not the 'pressure' of giving someone red roses with them being pink.

Aye, I prefer pink roses but Interflora won't deliver pink ones on valentine's day :/

Blackstar · 09-02-2008, 01:45

Well thats gay :/ not everyone wants red ones.
In all honesty i think if you believe she will appreciate it then you should do it.

For years I used a local florist who used to do some amazing stuff

When Cheryl moved workplace this ruined it and I was left with the internet places

I have used Tesco,Asda,Sainsburys.M+S,Next,Interose plus a few others and all have been acceptable , though I would say Next and M+S were the best

I normally order 12 Grand Prix roses for valentines but this year have gone a bit different and ordered a single rose dipped in 24kt gold from interrrose , hope its OK

Wow that is so lovely, she is a very lucky lady (lovely too). I'm sure she will love it, it is nice to have a change. Will it keep for long?

M&S wasn't somewhere i'd thought of actually...

they are dipped in zinc first and will last forever ( so they say )

have ordered it in 24ct gold but have the option for platinum for £20 more, the gold seems the way to go at the moment but as a long term display thing I am still thinking re Platinum

the price is not as much as I imagined, gold is £85 + post and platinum £105 + post

thanks for the lovely comment BTW

I much prefer platinum to gold as it captures light so nicely. I'm sure she wouldn't be adverse to some of each

(built up over a few valentines days and anniversaries) It's such a beautiful idea to have an ever lasting rose. /end girly mushyness
