Avoid lilies
Men, Avoid giving Lilies to your loved one as a gift of affection and appreciation of everything she does for you.

Apparently you will be a complete and utter bastard as they have some sort of fucking dust on them that sticks to her new top, her beige coloured sofa and newly painted and rather pretentious "light sand" wall. It doesn't come out either I have discovered.

Roses may seem naff but garages always do them and you can't go wrong.

One should not ignore the significance that lilies are traditionally used in funeral bouquets
And so have the permanent association with death. Some picky bitches don't like that either, for some reason.

It's even less appreciated if the recipient is called lily.
It's not a romantic gesture. It's naff and ill thought out.
