What To Send A Guy On Valentine's Day

It seems that the norm these days are that men are "supposed" to send flowers to their significant other on Valentine's Day. Personally, I told my boyfriend to save his money. However, since he's not expecting it, I'd like to send something to HIM like an edible arrangements basket.

Do you think guys would be weirded out or embarrassed to receive a V-Day gift like that at work?

Dear Rapuzel41:

Yes, absolutely. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not suggesting that on V-Day a woman should never consider sending the man in her life a certain something to show her love. But if you're talking about sending it to him where he works, it should be understated, and certainly not a big floral or edible arrangement. As an alternative, and far more likely to put a smile on his face, how about sending him a couple of Bruins or Celtics tickets in oh, I don't know, a red envelope perhaps? Just a thought.
