sending flowers

Here's a useful guide for sending flowers to someone you care about:

• Carnations are tacky. Unless the person specifically says, "I love carnations! They're my favorite flower!" you will come across as cheap if you send them. SATC ruined it for carnations.
  
• Tulips are a fantastic flower to send.
• Daisies are cute, but you know, a little boring.
  
• Baby's breath went out with shoulder pads.
  
• Lilies are risky if the person is allergic to them, which a lot of people seem to be. I think they're pretty though...
  
• Roses are tacky. Especially red roses. Be very careful when giving them.

There are a lot of amazing flowers to send, obvi, but these were the highlights from a conversation at work we had about it. Apparently guys, the ones who send them the most, thought it didn't matter what kind of flowers are sent. Fail.
