My boyfriend recently got a new job as an college educator in a conservative environment, and I want to surprise him by sending him flowers. The question I have is whether I should send them to his house or his new office? If I had them sent to his house then I can send about anything with any message, but the flowers are meant for his new office. If I sent them to his new office, it might raise questions. Any suggestions?

Send them to work with a note, "congratulations on your new job" and sign your name...but I would not send flowers...send a plant instead. More suitable for this type thing. Don't do anything that he will have to "explain." Not good taste!

I like the idea of sending them to his office, but of course if people there are too conservative, they will wonder. I'd suggest send a plant or a fruit basket with a neutral message like "congratulations on your new job." And, send the flowers to his house, who says you can't do both? :)

The key word you used is "conservative". Let him decide if and when he wants to come out to his colleagues. That is his business. He just got the job - let him keep it!
Send the flowers to his house.
I like the idea of an office plant that people mentioned above! Wish I had thought of it myself! You could always give him a sign with his name and new title on it or a gift certificate.

do NOT send flowers to his office, he will not appreciate the gesture. it shows a lack of concern for his career, and like it or not some jobs require discretion. i think you also (subconsciously) have an alterior motive, it would put you in a place he's forced to keep you out of. do not feel threatened or left out because of this, being supportive of those we love means having to swallow hard and get over it sometimes.plus straight men do not EVER get flowers for the office, to them flowers=pansy silly but true lololol..........good luck

If he's out at work, send them there. My partner loves it when I send him flowers - he says all the women in the office go "How come my husband never sends ME flowers" and stuff like that.
If he's closetted at work, then obviously DON'T send them there!

No eyebrows raised on those.

To his house, don't send a boy flowers to the office

commonly, if the florist can no longer get admission on your door bell or attain everybody - they'll leave a be conscious in the mailbox (no longer domicile tag) with training for you to reschedule delivery. in this contemporary-day international there is not any reason to no longer grant a cellular or different telephone volume so the motive force can contact you at the same time as they're at your gate. - or you may p.c.. them from the florist. best of success!
