Lowes and Home Depot both have extremely long "guarantees" on any live plants they sell. So anytime you need to buy flowers for some bitch, just head over there instead and get a nice pot of live flowers. Sometimes they even have multiple different kinds of flowers arranged in the same pot. Although the cost isn't important (for reasons I'll explain), the capital outlay up front is usually less than buying a pre-cut arrangement. You can just go nuts and buy the most expensive thing.

So anyways, you give the flowers to your bitch with some sentimental nonsense about how you wanted to give her live ones so you can remember the occasion for longer. The birdbrain will forget to water them regularly and they'll die eventually. Then you just return them to the store under the guarantee and get your money back. This can potentially save you hundreds of dollars per year.
