Flowers
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 a
romantic gesture.

I think it's a nice surprise if you're not doing it all the time. I purposefully don't give
flowers on Valentines 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.
