My husband's 30th birthday is on Valentine's Day and I was thinking about finding out where he would be throughout the day and have him collect 30 roses from his stops along the way. He owns his business but I'm not sure how he would feel about getting flowers. We've been married for 10 years and I am pretty ashamed that I don't know how he feels about it. I have bought him flowers before but it was when he returned home from visiting his dying grandmother out of state. Any advise or ideas would be really helpful!!!
Thanks so much.

Most Guys don't like getting flowers as a gift.
It is too degrading.
Get him a leather Jacket.

Ok, I have received flowers from a women. At first it was odd (B/c it had never happened) and I was kind of like "Why am I getting flowers?"It was strange, however, after thinking about who sent them to me I was happy. She was my gf. It showed me she was thinking and cared for me enough. She didn't do it to be funny or anything. Now, my Dad did send me flowers on my b-day. The embarrasing part was he sent it to my work. I was thinking it was from an ex-girlfriend or something. LOL. I laughed as did all my co-workers. The girls thought it was nice but the guys were weirded out. All good.

That's a very sweet idea but I think it really depends on several factors. One, does he like flowers? And two (and in my opinion, the most important), will it be an inconvenience to him? It may be a romantic idea, but if it inconveniences him, it will be remembered as a bad idea that was cute, but a pain (at best), and an inconsiderate, poorly thought-out idea (or worse). You've been married 10 years, and if you aren't sure how this would go over, I'd leave experimentation for something that has no effect on his job.
A man's job is usually his No. 1 or nearly top priority. He may resent you imposing your will on that space, even if the gesture is "nice."

I've recieved flowers before and just don't excited about them AT A L L. That's just the way we're wired. The thought is apprciated, but an alternitive would be a better gift.
I would rather my wife spend the money on a nice dinner or intimate appearal with a hot date invitation in a card.

If he loves you the way you obviously love him he would love any gift you get him. I think its a good idea but it would be even better if those flowers lead to something else like a dinner you have prepared or the tub filled with hot water. Be creative and don't let anything discourage you. All the man wants is to know is that you love him.

I don't think flowers mean as much for a man.
I'd go with a plant for his office or something else like a nice desk set.
I received a desk set (Blotter etc..) and enjoyed it very much.
You could also include a picture of you and him in a nice frame.
That would be the way I'd go

i actually answered this question as part of another answer i gave last week. giving flowers to a guy is like feeding caviar to a hog. he'll just use them to scratch himself. candy is good, though. sounds like he drives a lot. maybe he'd like something to make that more enjoyable, like an ipod or a gift certificate for his favorite restaurant. he's 30 so food has probably become more enjoyable to him recently. he may not even be aware of it. a day off, a massage, a couple of beers and your affection would probably make his day.

I think most men would be touched by it but at the same time be a little embarrassed if they received them at work or some other public place. Would your husband feel this way?

Flowers are for women. In my opinion, I think it would be somewhat emasculating for a man to receive flowers, especially collecting them throughout the day in front of his staff.

my husband likes anything that I get him, flowers may seem like the last minute thing but I always liked them, guys are always going to hard to shop for, but your idea sounds really cute and I think that he would have a smile every time he got a rose at one of the stops, I think I would do that one day.
