| flowers?
where do you guys usually get flowers for your gf?
i've been regularly going to cambie flowers (40th and cambie) and been pretty satisfied, on the downside though they are kinda pricey
are there any places with valentine day/week specials?

All places will jack up their prices for Valentines.. I used to just go to Safeway or whatever, lol. Lucky for me, my girlfriend says they're a waste of money.

Thomas Hobbs Florist in Kerrisdale sells fresh flowers. They don't look as old as some of the other places. The petals are lively and its colours are vibrant all the way to the edge, whereas other places, you may find the edges are a bit dull or a bit dead.

I've made two dozen origami roses before for my ex. That took forever since I'm not some artistic person.
Buy some flowers if you want to be hassle-free, but since it's V-day soon, flowers will be a bit more expensive.

Definitely but THomas hobbs is quite $$$
There is a place on 49th and knight that has tons of flowers. I have never purchased flowers from there but my dad has a lot and he keeps returning there to get them.

Cambie Flowers and Thomas hobbs are all pretty expensive... Safeway is a really good deal on roses... and of course costco... (the downtown costco sells blue roses from time to time too)
anyways... the parker place one is where it's at =)

Don't forget those flower stands downtown!
It won't be your fancy bouquet of flowers, but for a "I was thinking about you" bunch of flowers, $10 at one of those stands can get you something pretty decent.

I'd totally love it if my man got me a dozen from there this valentines.
Would love him even more if he handpicked a dozen for me  | |

Thomas and Hobbs has been my go to flourist for about...a year or so now. Yes they're expensive but the recipient has always loved them. Regularly 18 red roses+accent flowers are around $135 but they told me for valentines day a dozen red roses no accent flowers will already be 130$ My cooking teacher has recommended a place on kingsway and broadway. Brownies?

Now in the last couple years my financial situation has not been as flexible as I have taken on more expenses so now I go to Vin's flowers on Slocan. Prices are pretty good and they do a good job so really I'm not complaining nor should one think going to Vin's is more ghetto compared to Thomas Hobbs. Just because this flower shop is located in a neighbourhood corner store doesn't mean anything. The fact is the prices are solid, their flowers are nice, and they do a good job.
Here's their website http://www.vinsflowers.net/

Urban Fare, pre-made bouquets range from 18-50 depending on the size that you want. I don't know much about flowers or anything but I'm always happy with my purchases when I buy them for family/friends/clients. Their florists are rather knowledgeable and the flowers are always looking fresh.
I use to go to Queens Park flowers as well when I was in new west for a project. Haven't used them in a good 3 years though so I don't know if they've chnged at all. Posted via RS Mobile | |

All I have to do is cook a good meal, do laundry, vacuum & drive her around....wait...am I getting a good deal here?!?!

Not every store has a huge variety of flowers, might as well tell the op to go to safeway and buy them if he thinks the girl will like anything he buys. Every store is different whether it be quality, price, customer service and the ablitiy to customize it, if you don't have anything positive to say then don't post and fuck off?
