My girlfriend is deserving of flowers because all I’ve ever seen her do is work (at her actual job or at school)– it’s rough on a relationship! But she’s taking off Valentine’s day so I want to make it as special as possible.
My mom is deserving of flowers because she always puts family first, even before herself. She takes care of everyone but hardly ever pampers herself. Plus my dad doesn’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day with her, so it’d be nice if I could give her flowers at least.
My girlfriend is simply amazing. For my 23rd birthday I asked for 23 cums over a course of 23 days. And she delivered. Beat that. Now give me the gift card!
I went through a rough breakup a couple of months ago. My Valentine(s) this year are my girlfriends who got me through it. I’d like to send them a little something as a thank you. Thanks.
My wife deserves flowers every day of every year.
#1, she puts up with me. :D
She cooks, cleans, does laundry, works, takes care of our son, supports me in whatever I want to do…well, almost anything :) She’s willing to go the extra mile to make sure our son is taken care of.
Oh, and did I mention, she puts up with me.
I know this amazing girl that would totally appreciate flowers. Thing is I’m on the West Coast and she’s on the East Coast. She’s one of the wittiest, prettiest, and smartest gals I’ve ever met and I totally want to impress her. It’s a bit early in the friendship/relationship so if I go full on and buy her flowers she might get freaked out. However, if I say I won them based on my description of her? SCORE! Plus, you guys know I’m doing this cause I actually like her and I’m not looking for collateral benefits. There’s no way I’d get even a kiss out over her cause she’s so far away. =( Doesn’t matter though: she’s that cool.
My father passed away in November. ….My parents were married for 53 years. I just would like a bouquet for my Mom to cheer her up. Simple as that.
Lately, I’ve been office stalking this girl at work and it’s just not getting the job done. For some reason, staring at her from across the room is not getting the kind of results that I’m hoping for. I’ve even stepped my game up a bit and timed it so I’m walking past her as she gets her morning coffee. On the days that I’m feeling extra frisky, I actually look her in the eyes as we’re approaching each other (when she’s not looking my way of course, anything else would be too scary).
I feel like I need to ramp up my game even more and take things to a whole new level. If I win the gift certificate, I’m planning to send myself a ton of flowers to make myself look like a rock star. If this works, she’s going to want to talk to me for sure :)
My wife drives me absolutely crazy. She’s contentious, argumentative, procrastinatory, untruthful (more to herself than anyone else), negligent toward our pets, and lazy. For a week or more at a time I can find nothing that she does that makes me happy. But we have a child — she’s two, and she’s the most important person in my life. Because I live in Georgia (USA), separating or getting divorced is out of the question, because unless the mother is a drug addict (she’s not) or abusive to the child (she’s not), she gets primary custody. So at this point all I’m doing is counting down to 2024, when my daughter goes away to college and I can finally get out of here.
Anyway. The woman adores Valentine’s Day, despite saying she’s a feminist. (Like I said, untruthful.) I have to do something spontaneous and romantic every year, and every year has to top the year before or else she gets this disgruntled expression on her face. Unfortunately, Valentine’s Day is on a weekend this year, so I can’t send the flowers to her office, but I’m sure I can find some way to make it seem like the flowers are spontaneous.
So that’s why I want to win. Sorry to be such a downer, but not all of your readers can be the kind of appreciative, happy guys that go all-out for V-Day in hopes of getting something that rhymes with V-Day but is much more centered on them. If anyone gets the one I was promised about two months ago, by all means enjoy it, because I certainly won’t.
my girlfriend deserves these flowers because she recently lost her job, and could use some cheering up…
My wife deserves flowers for several reasons. She gave me a beautiful baby boy last year and I’m a stay at home dad. She let me give up my job to stay with out son, while she works diligently to support our family. She’s amazing as a wife and a mother.
My wife and I have 2 special needs daughters and my wife has spent this entire school year fighting with our school district to provide them the type of learning they deserve and it is a fight i can’t participate in because of my job requirements. Therefore, over and above the things I’ve tried to do for her to say thank you, this gift card would certainly add to my attempt to show appreciation and love for her.
@All, the following comments so far are great. I am sure glad we have 5 of these $70 Gift Certificates to give away. Keep the comments coming!

My Lilly deserves to be showered with gifts because she works her butt off all day to support me and my boy. She sacrifices her time and energy and sanity and time spent with her eight month old son to financially support us. She rocks.
My husband needs this gift certificate because I’m pretty sure he would NEVER send the mistress flowers with a credit card ….but he might use a promotional code so he wouldn’t get caught! ;) Seriously- he sends me flowers for my birthday, for Mother;s Day, he even sends them to my mother for her birthday and I think that has earned him some flowers in return.
So I can’t this would be for the wife…because I am the wife. Although I’m really thinking that if I win I should just buy myself an arrangement but I’ll probably buy my parents something for their anniversary
thanks!
My wife deserves this because of the almost six years we’ve been married, I have never gotten her anything for Valentine’s Day. (Once I brought her home a flower from a store that was giving them away, but then she went to the same store later and they gave her one too, so it doesn’t really count.) She’s never complained, just teases me. She hates it when I spend money, on anything. She love tulips.
My wife has put up with my lame or botched attempts at romance for 13 years now and really deserves some flowers to go with the the homemade card she knows she will be getting this year (we are cutting costs). When we met, we had little in common and she told me flat out she wasn’t interested in a relationship, but I am a bit stubborn and she managed to overlook my motorcycle, dislike for dancing, and quite a few other things along the way to get us where we are today. So as our three kids (3, 5, 6) and I are showing her our construction paper cards, it would be really great if she could have something a little extra special. My plan would be to get an arrangement of lilies to remind her of our wedding and get my two girls each a rose.
Thanks.
I’d actually like to give my boyfriend flowers. He’s still at my alma mater, finishing his bachelor’s, and I’m far away, doing habitat restoration. He’s really tired of the classes as he knows the material but the required lectures are sub-par, and he works full-time so he can afford to be in classes. I’d love to send him a reminder that it’s almost over and that I miss him. That and I adore giving him random gifts.
My Mom deserves flowers because she has raised all 3 of us girls by herself and never complained even when times was hard she did the best she could and never had any assistance public or family. even Now she works her butt off to send my youngest sister to college!
There are 2 good candidates that I could use this for.
1) My sister is recently divorced and this is her first valentine’s day afterward. She loves my son to pieces, so I would like to send her a big bouquet from him. I think it would make her day.
or
2) My mom. She’s been the best mom I could imagine. Always there for me, etc. And now she’s a grandma. She’s helped us so much with him. Plus, any grandma that can get thrown up on, pooped on, and still have a smile deserves the flowers! :)
thanks
I’m going to wax poetic about my wife particularly because we just spent a week at home together on vacation. We both work full-time on opposite shifts, so during a normal week we only have limited time together. We often talk by phone during the day but it’s not the same as being together. It’s almost more difficult after a week together on vacation to go back to our “normal” life and work; I seem to miss being with her more then.
She’s even more beautiful now than she was when I met her 15 years ago. I couldn’t have custom-ordered a more perfect partner than my wife. She’s smart, kind, engaging, sexy, she never takes herself too seriously and she can make me laugh until my sides hurt. I still get butterflies when she kisses me. Together we’ve raised four fantastic children that I couldn’t be prouder of; three that are grown men now. Sometimes when they talk, it’s my wife’s voice I hear-it’s her influence that made them what they are today. I give her most of the credit.
I’ll tell you one story about my wife that still makes the two of us laugh. Years ago we had a cocker spaniel, Sparky. Sparky was a few cubes short of a full tray of ice cubes; dog was cute but sure lacked smarts. When we’d put Sparky outside, he was on a runner and he hated it. After doing his business, all he did was yap his furry little head off. One day my wife called me to the back door to come look. Sparky was outside, standing there quiet as could be, just staring at the back door. My wife was overflowing with excitement thinking Sparky had finally gotten used to the runner. When she called me she said “Honey, come look..Sparky is outside and he’s not barking…he’s even smiling!” Sure enough, Sparky was stock still and it did look like he was smiling until you looked a bit closer…stupid dog had managed to flip his choker collar up into his mouth and it was pulled taunt by the runner–it looked like a doggy face-lift. So now whenever either of us do something that’s not-so-bright we always say “Honey, the dog is smiling”.
My wife deserves flowers because she stays at home with our VERY active 1 year old while I work, she is six months pregnant, she puts up with me…oh, and I’ve never sent her flowers before…YIKES!
My girlfriend puts up with me! Anyone who can do that deserves lots of gifts and flowers
I don’t want to air my Mom’s sad story here, as its not my place to tell it. She deserves flowers this year and every year because she is one of the bravest woman I know. She selflessly raised two children basically on her own, and is the only person I truly can count on.
My daughter-in-law is deserving of flowers this Valentine’s Day because she is doing a fantastic job as a mom to my three grandchildren, a toddler and one year old twins. She really deserves something beautiful to make her feel loved and special.
Thank you!

My very best friend is sick. She lives in Atlanta and I live in Annapolis (that’s in Maryland for you west coasters…you know…the U.S. Naval Academy?!) She’s alone with just her kids. I’d love to send her some flowers and cheer her up.
My Mamaw deserves these flowers bc of the hard life she has had!
I would like to send flowers to my Mom. She’s always been there in my life and extremely supportive. I sometimes resented this though growing up because she was always in my business and trying to get me to participate and do all these things to find out what I was good at. It wasn’t until much later in life that I realized what she was really trying to do was help me become a better person. I’m still trying to become a better me, but it’s my mom I will thank for giving me a good foundation. I think she deserves flowers everyday, but since I can’t give them to her, once every year would be awesome.
My wife is one of a kind. She is always making me laugh and not take things so seriously. Even if we are having a tiff, she turns it around until we both start to laugh. I really think this she has a special talent and outlook on life. She packs my lunch for work, and always puts in a special treat. Since I am diabetic, I cannot eat regular goodies, but she always makes sure there is a treat I can eat.
Then, I might be surprised with a note, or funny sticker on my sandwich! All my co-workers want to see what I have for lunch everyday and sometimes I have to share because they beg me for trailmix, or carrots sticks with ranch dressing. She really makes me feel special. I would love to send her flowers this Valentines to let her know how special she really is.
My wife has put up with me for 40 years (will be 40 on April 5). We started dating when she was 16. She is still my punkin. She is the most giving and appreciative person I know. Thanks.
My mother worked to raise eight children as a stay-at-home mother while my father worked as a policeman. She often got down on the floor and colored coloring books with us and made Barbie clothes. My mother found time to help us with flash cards to help us do better in school. She was never too busy to read us yet another book yet another time if that’s what we wanted. My sticky fingered hugs were always welcome as were my lollypop lip kisses. When mom would take the latest baby for a walk all the brothers and sisters accompanied her like little ducklings as we went to the park for some fun. The pictures I drew at school were always “perfect” and when my grades were low she would clear the dining room table and we would study together. Somehow Mom always had the time. I only hope that I have been the kind of mother to my sons that my mom was to me. I would wish I could send my mother flowers but I know that wouldn’t begin to thank her for all that she has ever done for me.
