For a less heavy subject. I saw a post about a woman who bought flowers for her boyfriend

Her friends made fun of her and hurt her feelings. As a man I would LOVE to get flowers from my girlfriend and let me just say that Wisteria is my favorite flower! To the other men out there. Wouldn't you love to get flowers? What type would you like to receive?

An old girlfriend. Many years ago. It was one of the best gifts I’ve ever received.

I still remember it, but have never seen another like it. But, yes, I thought it was cool.
