The boyfriend's birthday is coming up nex week. I've already got his presents, card & will be taking him out to dinner in the evening but as a last nice touch I was thinking of having something delivered to him at work.
Now with women, it's easy. You send them a nice bunch of flowers but what would be the male equivalent to send? Or do guys actually like receiving flowers?
I've already done a trio of roses for our first valentines together. He doesn't drink much so a beer hamper would go to waste. Everything else is just so geared towards women!
Guys - what would you like to be sent on your birthday? Strippers etc aside. Or do men not like that kind of attention at all at work?
Girls - anything you've sent in the past which has gone down well?

I have been sent flowers twice in the past....and it was really nice actually. However, he might not appreciate that and cop a load of flak as well. I actually bought myslef a bunch the other day as I was feeling rubbish.
As for your fella though, I assume you want to create a little bit of attention....but not necesarily?!?
You could send him (very discretely) some undies through the post....(for you) with an 'appropriate' note (or inappropriate)....saying your pressie will be in these when you get home.... .....or just a picture of yourself in the undies......?
Or send him something foody that he might like....the act of receiving the gift itself is nice enough!
Obviously I don't know your boyfriend, but most guys I know wouldn't want that kind of attention at work, especially not flowers!!!!!.
At my last work place, a guys wife cut his sarnies into hearts on valentines day, he never lived it down!!!
It's nice to hear that a man doesn't mind getting flowers.
I do like the idea of sending something that implies nocturnal activities.
With regards to the food idea, I had come across birthday cupcakes. But subconscioulsy that might have been more of a selfish idea as he probably wouldn't want more then a few and I would be left with the 'chore' of eating the rest (I bloody love cupcakes).
Birthday balloons - yay or nay?
Oh dear Dano....its bad enough his wife makes his sarnies!
I think it would hugely depend on the working environment.....I work in an office of women, most of whom are under 25, and its 'like OMG, how was your evening, like that guy is soooo hot, oh wow can i like borrow your dress, like that will be like sooo much fun'.......f'ing does me head in, but it would be ok to be sent flowers here.
However, if Kate's fella worked on a building site or some other 'male' environment.....he may not hear the end of it!
Men are from Mars, women are from Venus. I think that is quite sweet! But I understand for a guy it might be quite embarrassing.
He works for an IT company with mainly male colleagues.
Birthday balloons......not my choice!
Send him something saucy, but discreet. Cant go wrong I dont think!
The thought of that will make sure he 'comes' home quickly!! (see what i did there?!)
i'm with Nick.
Agent Provocateur gets my vote
Roundy - Just googled the graze box. Think it's an excellent idea! Although not for him. He'll open a bag of sweets and the bag will still be half full in 6 months. Might treat myself to one though...
I see what you did there Nick . At the mo that is looking most likely option.
I'll stay well clear of the balloons. And maybe I'll give him some flowers at home to spare the blushes.
Yep - some AP underwear.....expensive, but VERY nice!
Thing is with balloons, is what purpose do they serve? Thats just my opinion.

I was thinking what would be the WORST thing you could send him............
Graze boxes are great K8. Although I don't so much graze as guzzle them!
I don't understand people who can open a bag of sweets and it still be there 6 months later! I think they must have some sort of superhuman powers!
Don't even get me started Roundy, I don't understand it at all. If you open a bag of sweets, biscuits etc you have to finish what you started! I popped in to see him one time and ate more sweets in 5 mins then he did in a month.
Anyone know how to get sprayed coffee out of a keyboard!!
Turn up at his work wearing a long coat with nothing underneath, whisper in his ear what a great birthday hes going to get, give him a quick flash and leave
it will make his year
thank you....thank you
im here all week!
