My ladyfriend is
not a fan of flowers, which have always been my go-to little surprise present
to surprise and delight. What to do and how to replace flowers with something
else that will fulfill this function?Warmly,
Potted in Brooklyn
Dear Potted,
Flowers are a winner for any number of reasons: They’re
cheap, they’re surprisingly effective, and you can throw them out after a week.
Finding a replacement for your lady will require some thought.
As we’ve touched upon, a little thoughtfulness goes
farther than a lot of money when choosing a gift for a lady. If your lady
enjoys a drink, then maybe pick up a bottle of wine, or a nice liqueur. If she
likes to read, then maybe pick her up the latest release from an author she
likes. You get the idea.
But be warned: Do not get her anything useful. For
some reason, ladies really don’t like useful gifts. We also advise against
stuffed animals. They accumulate. And if you’re buying these little tokens to
make up for one of the inevitable snafus that any gentleman commits in his life
with a lady, then you’ll soon have a chorus of button-eyed fuzzy creatures
staring you down with their cute and silent reminders of recriminations past.
Floridly,
The Gentlemen
