Sent to you... at work, just to get a blush or a smile. It's a cute arrangment, white carnations in a beer mug with yellow rocks in it. Yay or nay?

    I'm a girl, and that would make my day. 10 points for the beer mug.

    I used to send my ex-husband and his staff pizzas to work :)

    If the guy is worth it he will love the gesture...if he doesn't like it he is not worth your efforts...do it!!

    No complaints if it was someone I was involved with.

    Yes. Sure, there would be some kidding from a few co-workers, but they aren't the ones sending the flowers. :)

    He'll be thinking: "cool, this means I'm getting some."

    Yeah, most likely this. ^ You better be sure to follow through on that gesture.

    I sent flowers to a boyfriend at work (back in the day) and he got "weird" about it...getting **** from co-workers. My guess he felt immasculated but we were 20 at the time.

    A grown man will appreciate the gesture and thank you physically :smooched:

    Do it!!! When the hubby and I were first dating, I made a boquet and placed it on his windshield and waited for him to come to my place. Some of his coworkers saw it, but he actually loved the gesture.

    I'd love to get them... but I'm not so sure about sending men flowers. I just don't think that they appreciate it or even give a crap about them. But the beer mug might make him happy. Idk... let's ask him, lol :)

    Pretty much unless he works in a flower shop he is going to take crap from his male co-workers. If he works in an all female workplace all he is going to hear for the rest of the day is how their partners never buy them flowers. It's pretty awful either way. Send a cookie gram instead .. everybody loves giant cookies

    You know him better than we do, but I know for me I'd be more embarrassed than pleased. I love sending flowers to women. But I've never gotten any and I wouldn't want any myself.

    Now a giant cookie is a wonderful gift! Men are practical for the most part and flowers just don't do it for us. Most guys anyway.

    But to men (or ladies) who are looking to send flowers, proflowers does an amazing job. It's easy to order, they often have deals and the flowers are of the best quality I've ever seen. I highly recommend them.

    I'd honestly say that it depends on your guy specificially. What does he do? Are the other guys he work with going to tease him for it? Does he apprecaite typical romance?
    I know my boyfriend would probably get teased mericilessly from the guys at his work, plus isn't really into flowers, so I wouldn't do it. But that's just because I know he would apprecaite something else so much more, like the cookiegram or the pizza others have suggested. I don't know, I'm a firm believer that gifts should be tailored to suit the individual.

    Just take your shirt off and look pretty now... I'll buy you a damn cookie.

    Yeah - I think it depends on the guy and his work environment.

    Personally, although I would love to receive flowers at home as a random surprise.... I wouldn't really want them delivered to me at work.

    Now, if my Sig Other sent me a heart-shaped Lou Malnati's deep dish pizza at work... all for that! Lol

    That was what I was thinking, too.

    Something practical - something they can eat, use, or wear.

    I think it would be cool. I never had that done but would be nice to have the roles changed a little bit
