Just a consideration, since there's a chance the teacher won't be able to keep them in classroom due to children's allergies / end of year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-getting-flowers#post-2820031 Thu, 03 May 2018 09:12:20 +0000 josina 2820031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I was actually going to come back and add that it's a gift, so really no one should expect anything. I'd definitely give flowers if that's what you want to do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-getting-flowers#post-2820030 Thu, 03 May 2018 09:04:24 +0000 Mamaof2 2820030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@josina: this is elementary school - so no expectations since its a different teacher every year </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-getting-flowers#post-2820028 Thu, 03 May 2018 09:03:38 +0000 Mamaof2 2820028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alba4: wow homemade lattes - how nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-getting-flowers#post-2820024 Thu, 03 May 2018 08:55:23 +0000 Ajsmommy 2820024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE getting flowers!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-getting-flowers#post-2820008 Thu, 03 May 2018 07:23:59 +0000 Alba4 2820008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love flowers and I’ve never received them as a teacher. I’d appreciate it. I get so many gift cards (I’m not complaining), so it would make me remember that thoughtful student for being original.</p> <p>It’s teacher’s appreciation week and one of my students made homemade lattes for all of his teachers❤️. I mean, is that not the sweetest?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-getting-flowers#post-2819962 Wed, 02 May 2018 18:20:22 +0000 brownepiano 2819962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love flowers! My favorites are roses because they age well and I can dry them easily when they are really starting to wilt. Potted plants are nice but I have a hard time keeping them alive. If they are annuals I don't feel so bad about that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-getting-flowers#post-2819936 Wed, 02 May 2018 17:00:29 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2819936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like flowers! I prefer a simple bouquet. I also like small indoor plants like a succulent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-getting-flowers#post-2819935 Wed, 02 May 2018 16:57:34 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2819935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, no. On occasion I have received beautiful arrangements, but the vases that come with and the ones I have do nothing for the flowers. Throwing away flowers is a gross and messy job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-getting-flowers#post-2819924 Wed, 02 May 2018 16:25:12 +0000 josina 2819924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love flowers, but if I was expecting a gift card (if you do that every year), then I might be upset depending on what the gift card was for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-getting-flowers#post-2819922 Wed, 02 May 2018 16:09:59 +0000 turquoisemama 2819922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually don’t really like getting flowers. They are pretty and nice to look at but most of the time I feel like they just get in the way when we have limited space already and are annoying to maintain. Like changing the water and then dealing with the dirty vase once they start to rot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-getting-flowers#post-2819921 Wed, 02 May 2018 16:09:02 +0000 Jennibenni 2819921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Agree that I actually prefer “homemade”bouquets. When I’ve gotten delivered flowers I think about how much it probably cost and how much those same flowers would’ve been at the grocery store 😝. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-getting-flowers#post-2819914 Wed, 02 May 2018 14:48:23 +0000 dolphin 2819914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Flowers are pretty but I'd say a gift card is the way to go. I have lots of teacher friends and they all prefer gift cards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-getting-flowers#post-2819912 Wed, 02 May 2018 14:27:24 +0000 ineebee 2819912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would appreciate flowers, sure, but I don’t prefer them. I liked gift cards the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-getting-flowers#post-2819904 Wed, 02 May 2018 14:01:41 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2819904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a teacher I would appreciate anything no -food! I like flowers, but if you were looking for something you could get a little succulent or aloe plant or flowering cactus. Non smell and they’re usually hardier and they’re cute. Ty can get a nice little pot for them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-getting-flowers#post-2819903 Wed, 02 May 2018 14:00:02 +0000 Mama Bird 2819903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's a nice gesture. I'll see the kids' teachers around Mother's Day and will get them flowers.</p> <p>Personally, I prefer potted plants, but I've no idea if they like them so I always go with a regular bouquet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-getting-flowers#post-2819902 Wed, 02 May 2018 13:58:16 +0000 Foodnerd81 2819902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like receiving flowers! And I’m not picky about the bouquet, a $5 bouquet from the grocery store is still sweet. But a small plant and gift card would be nice too! </p> <p>I just would prefer a cheap hand delivered bouquet than a very expensive delivery one- it’s so expensive and I always feel like it’s wasteful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-getting-flowers#post-2819894 Wed, 02 May 2018 13:38:02 +0000 gestalt 2819894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love flowers, but i have to admit i'm picky about the bouquet. DH used to always buy me wild lilies, which i didn't like because of the pollen.</p> <p>I think a small plant with the gift card would be nice. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-getting-flowers#post-2819891 Wed, 02 May 2018 13:33:12 +0000 peachykeen 2819891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like flowers but I would definitely prefer a gift card. DH is a teacher and gift cards are always his favorite of any gift. Also, mugs and little plates/tins usually get donated because he gets so many. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-getting-flowers#post-2819890 Wed, 02 May 2018 13:33:11 +0000 snowjewelz 2819890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: i still would appreciate the thought if the person didnt know. i have been able to keep an orchid plant in the house. it developed only in the last few years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-getting-flowers#post-2819889 Wed, 02 May 2018 13:32:00 +0000 Mamaof2 2819889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I did wonder about that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-getting-flowers#post-2819887 Wed, 02 May 2018 13:30:24 +0000 Sams Mom 2819887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE getting flowers! My husband uses the florist that did our wedding, and he always makes me the perfect bouquet. It's probably because I met with him for a combined 4-6 hours over a year showing him exactly what I liked and disliked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-getting-flowers#post-2819886 Wed, 02 May 2018 13:28:58 +0000 snowjewelz 2819886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i dont :sad: i get horrible allergies (intense headache) with the pollen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-getting-flowers#post-2819884 Wed, 02 May 2018 13:27:57 +0000 Mamaof2 2819884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Was thinking of just getting the teachers a fresh bouquet of flowers this year instead of gift cards - I mean who doesn't like flowers right? </p>
