Is it ok to buy a guy flowers? If so, what kind should I get?

My friend's best friend died last year on April 20th. I feel the need to get him something and I think flowers would be a nice gesture, but I'm not sure that they are entirely appropriate.

Yes its okay to buy a guy flowers. What kind, well depends on the guy. How is his personlity? is he rough? Does he have the MAN ego going on? or is he calm and more practical? Well also, make sure it is only 1 flower, and when you hand it off to him say this is just to brighten your day or something like that. :)





Some suggestions :





gerbera daisy


sunflower


White Tulip
Reply:maybe a card would be a better approach.
Reply:Brianne, I bought my husband flowers once. They were in a masculine cup with other items for men. He thought it was a nice gesture but he would of preferred a tool instead. You may want to give him just a gift basket with men stuff, like a bottle of wine, some candy, a small cologne, a men's magazine,maybe some beef jerky, pretzel sticks, etc. These are just some ideas of what you can use. good luck.
Reply:It's a very nice gesture, but I don't think guys like to recieve flowers.


If you want to do somthing for him, just make him dinner, let him relax and give him all the attention he needs!
Reply:What about a plant? They last longer than flowers, and he can be reminded of your thoughtfulness throughout the year. Like an ivy or a fern in a pot. I would stay away from girly stuff like tulips, irises, roses. I don't think guys appreciate it as much as girls.





You could also plant a tree together and dedicate it to his friend. That way every time you two see it grow, you're reminded of his friend.





Or maybe start a website dedicated to his friend, and post pictures of them having fun together on it.





Or copy a nice poem and give him a card. There are many different ways to express your sympathies, just think about him and his personality, and what he would enjoy the most.
Reply:If it comes from your heart why not?
Reply:they like chocolates more. give him that.
Reply:that would be nice forget me nots are a must
Reply:Sure, why not? How about a spring bouquet? Better yet, some daffodills or wildflowers you've picked yourself?
Reply:Yes. Guys do enjoy receiving flowers. A simple bouquet of blue tipped Carnations would be appropriate.
Reply:I think flowers would be a nice gesture and I think its appropriate for such an occassion. Yellow roses would be nice because they stand for friendship so then your friend would know that you are there for him as a friend.

Reply:It depends upon the guy. My husband loves when I buy him flowers. It's the gesture that counts to him.
Reply:I think they would be a very nice jesture and if they are not appreciated that would be strange.





In my experience men react better to a little gift than long talks (I am married for over 25 years) so I think it is a very good idea.
Reply:Yes it's entirely appropriate to buy a guy flowers at least in this situation I'm Sure. He's your friend and will be more than likely be feeling down that day. The personal note given with the flowers is probably what will make the most difference though...Peoria
Reply:I guess.
Reply:Yes, birds of Paradise are good or may be something with a grape vine intertwined or some willow branch in it. It makes the flowers look masculine. Also use oranges and purples they help.
Reply:No, definitely not the way to go. Instead try to find something they used to do together (ie. a favorite movie, favorite place to hang) and buy or bring a round to toast to your friends old friend.
Reply:Yes. But don't embarass him, send them to his home, not work.
Reply:Maybe... I would be careful with that you might hurt some guys feelings, and make him think you think hes girly. I would steer clear of panzies..
