This is getting stupid. It cost me around $52 (~34 euros) to send THREE roses to my better half for V-day... THREEEEE ROSES... Ridiculous.

The price for Roses always goes up on Valentine\'s day.
I once spent $300 USD on two dozen roses only to see a dozen for $12.99 USD the next day all over the place.
That\'s when I was young and dumb, now that I\'m married i don\'t have to worry about it.lol

You guys just don\'t know how to shop, do you?

Did you call different florists in her area to get quotes on what sending 3 roses would cost? Surely there must me more than one florist, and internet access makes it possible to peruse the yellow pages (or whatever service directory you use in the UK/Europe) in any area.

:rolleyes:

But how much is she worth to you anyway?? Careful how you answer that in case she reads it here!

lol

I checked SEVERAL online florists in her area, but I didnt call any others as I dont have a long distance plan right now. I went with the cheapest ones I could find to be honest (she wont read this, and she\'d understand if she did since I just spent over $500 on plane tickets...)

@phil0logus (HA! FOILED YOUR lol): That is indeed lunacy...

That\'s not lunacy, it\'s greed.
It\'s the big florists getting laws passed to prevent the little man from dropping the prices. In effect causing monopolies protected by the law.
Lobbyists try getting these kinds of things done all the time in DC.
 
Where the hell have all these thoughtful romantic men come from? This is not normal! Where\'s the testosterone??!!

You should be buying her tacky leopard print lingere and vibrators! The vibrator is an especially important gift if she\'s far away from you.
Just make sure it\'s not bigger than your ..umm.. ya know... err uhh...

And making the final jump in to the absurd....

\"10 inch lingerie? What a great name for a band!\"

Thank you, I\'ll be here all week. Tip your waitress.

And I don\'t think $52 for three roses is too much if she\'s that far away. I\'m sure she\'ll realize the effort that went in to it.

Me, I\'m having custom moulded chocolates made for my missus. I have a friend that makes chocolates professionally -- had her find me a monkey shaped mould to make extra dark chocolate, caramel filled monkeys...

Because... um... well... because I call my wife my little monkey. :redface:

$52 is outrageous for three roses. But, in essence, what you\'re paying for is the effect of the roses. I recently sent a $80 orchid to someone in the US who had been of great help in sorting out an order for me. Stunning girl, stunning job, she deserved it. :)

SaxonAngel, men have trouble with dildos, we really do. Dildos have raised women\'s expectations beyond that which is biologically reasonable. Kinda like my dogs really, my expectations have been raised too high. :D
