Pro flowers are always a winner. A teddy bear or candy sounds dumb. If I'm getting the lady something to wear for Valentines Day, it is certainly not going to be a onesie pajama.

We went to the Vermont Teddy Bear factory. It seemed like a quality product. |

We went to Ben & Jerry's in Vermont and it was nice. Also Green Mountain Coffee museum which was interesting but small. |

The thing that always amuses me is it's usually Terry that does the PJ reads. Why he gets that deal is beyond me. Cuz it's kind of suggestive sexual read. Terry is selling sex? Please. His wife hasn't banged him in at least 20 years. He's not buying that crap for his wife either. |

I made the mistake of ordering proflowers last year. Got the mid-line bouquet of roses with the "collectible" vase, arranged to be delivered on Valentine's. What showed up was a poorly refrigerated box, with the days-old roses inside, separate from the vase. Like I ordered the fucking thing through Amazon. Get what you pay for, I guess. |

Flowers are dead when delivered. Money spent for already dead shit should be zero. |

If you're gonna do flowers, go to a store to get them so you can see how fresh they are. Ordering them sounds extremely stupid. Only time you order them is when you send them to a funeral. |

I have not used Pro Flowers for Valentines Day, but I have used them on several other occasions (with ESPN & Score promo codes) and they have always been a great success. I have never ordered a batch that didn't last at least 2 weeks, given proper food & water. |

You get more for your money using a local flower shop instead of any of those 1-800 ones. |

The thread should be titled "People who buy Valentine's gifts". I'm sorry you guys need to buy gifts on a Hallmark holiday, to show your woman that you love her. #KeepYourPimpHandStrong |

The ads (and reads) are on many stations. I've bought ProFlowers on several occasions. They're genetically modified and grown in South America for Valentine's Day. They aren't meant to last, which is why my wife doesn't like flowers as a gift. I now gift her a gift card (for lingerie) and a confirmed trip itinerary for the two of us. |

Is this accurate in this day and age of same day delivery etc? And the flowers at funerals are usually really nice. |

i gave sherry berry a shot because of their score ad, whether it be flowers or chocolates... every one of these valentine day gift companies advertise reasonable prices but it isnt until you get towards the end of the prucahse that you learn about the delivery and service charges which can exceed the cost of the product.... i understand as an industry they'd all have to agree to stop these bait and switch practices... but it is very misleading telling me on the ad the item costs $25 only to have the actual cost damn near double that |

I gotta confess, just did a Pajamagram purchase. It's the thought that counts* *buying her a separate vacation for this year. Not sure if she'll like it but it's early enough to get a refund. |
