How do you feel when you give or are given flowers?
Here's what people in London said:
I just feel really happy. It's like a nice feeling really, like nothing else I can describe.
I prefer to give flowers than receive them.It's a quite simple gift for a boy, I think, not too much to think about hopefully. Can't really go too wrong with flowers either but I mean, any gift is a good gift so I don't mind receiving flowers, it's best sometimes.
Yeah, I feel happy; I feel glad that someone thought of me in the flower shop. It's like aromantic gesture.
I think it's a nice surprise if you're not doing it all the time. I purposefully don't give flowers on Valentine’s Day, I just do it sort of at ad hoc times because I think, you know,they're fresh, they're bright and cheer people up.
In this interview, most people feel happy when they receive flowers. I guess no one would go mad when they get flowers from someone, unless they detest the person very much. Well, flowers seem to be such a “safe” gift to someone you like. Some think it is really romantic and some people say that it cheers people up. When you have a beautiful vase at home, it is certainly perfect to have fresh flowers all the time. I also know that in western society, people love to do gardening themselves. One of the reasons is that most houses in the west have a front yard. Therefore, people would think that it is rude not to decorate your own garden.
