From my earliest years, I can remember my father, a true romantic, bringing my mother a dozen red roses for Valentine’s day. She was always delighted with his thoughtfulness and enjoyed them throughout the next week. Valentine’s day is fast approaching and I am thinking “what woman wouldn't want flowers?” But, I live in New York City and a dozen roses from a street vendor usually cost $10 on a regular day, however on Valentine's Day they go for $30+!!! And I am not even mentioning online sites where they can go for $100+. I understand the “supply and demand” economic model, but these markups are outrageous. I’m thinking, “SAY NO TO FLOWERS ON VALENTINE’S DAY!”
During these tough economic times, many couples are getting smarter and perhaps a little more practical. My thought is get the flowers, but not on Valentine’s day. She surely deserves them for putting up with your garbage, but buy them after Valentine’s day when prices have dropped back to their regular price. Won’t she be surprised! In the meantime, on Valentine’s Day, give her a gift that she really wants. There are thousands of gifts in the marketplace that can be purchased for under $20 and $30 that show her you love her and that matches exactly what she has said she really wants!
