[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Friend of mine send flowers to his GF all the time.  [b]I personally think flowers are overrated[/b], kind of lazy, requires no thought, or effort.  I’d much rather show my appreciation for someone by getting them something thoughtful, or doing something for them that takes effort like a homemade gift.  I still get my GF flowers occasionally but not all the time.  Just seems a little cliche.  I’m constantly doing, showing, and saying how much I care for her in ways that take way more effort than picking up flowers but maybe I’m misjudging the flower power.

Thoughts on getting flowers often (like weekly or monthly).  Like it? Meh? Waste of money? [/quote]

As the gift-giver, that's not really your call to make.

I like receiving flowers (assuming I'm not dumped with the burden of cutting them, finding a vase for them, etc). They don't make me feel "appreciated," it's just a nice gesture. I actually do think they are thoughtful; even though it's kind of silly I like the idea of my husband checking out flower selection when he goes to costco and finding some he knows I'll like.

It does seem like flowers just sweep some women off their feet (although maybe that's just in the movies) and I personally don't feel that way. And flowers would never replace giving me hugs, saying I love you, truly listening to me, etc. If DH never gave me flowers except on the occasions I ask (I ask for them on mother's day because I believe in telling DH and the kids exactly what I want), I wouldn't care. I think your actions are fine, OP.
