Sending men or guys flowers is not only an appreciated gift, but can be an expected masculine surprise.
An inner-beauty tip: men like to feel beautiful
too. And we often take them for granted, because
although men do worry about their looks, they like
to act like they don’t. But if you can manage to
tell a guy he’s attractive in a way that doesn’t
threaten his masculinity, you will increase his
interest and his self-esteem.

Even Manly-Men Like Color, Fragrance, and Fashion
Guys get cheated by their role in society. They
aren’t expected to like colors, or
to be interested in fashion or nice-looking things
(unless the things are made of wood or leather). I
was friends with an Air Force training pilot who
once told me that when he was a kid of about nine
years old, he wanted to try growing roses, and his
father was so freaked out by his son’s homosexual
leanings that he never mentioned flowers again. He
grew up to be macho and tough, just like his
father expected. He also paid a lot of attention
to being hyper-masculine. He wouldn’t wear
sandals, no matter how hot it got, because in his
home town, straight men didn’t wear sandals. He
bought a house and a Boxter and lived pretty well,
considering he’d locked away everything tender and
interesting that he could have become if his dad
hadn’t been so angry and afraid.

Guys Like Flowers, but…(Men Love Gadgets Too)
 Some
guys love to get flowers, but you can't give
flowers regularly. If your guy has had the dozen
roses, you still have to find him birthday,
anniversary or Christmas presents! In general, men
love gadgets, even when they don't know what
they're for.
One man thrilled to the idea of building an
outdoor smoker after seeing a cooking video about
smoking fish. He didn't like smoked fish at all,
but he was enchanted with the latest in
thermometers — a digital probe food thermometer that
fit inside the smoker to monitor the temperature.
Thermometers, barometers, moisture meters and
pedometers — all these things speak to the masculine
soul.
And let's not forget digital video recorders, or
anything that takes a picture and a disk. Guys
love things with buttons and LEDs? Anything
electric, anything electronic. Women don't know
why men are fascinated by machinery, but we bow to
the mystery that is man, and buy them things.
See unique household gadgets that almost any man could
appreciate and would make a great gift.

A lot of guys are persuaded to go against their
artistic or creative impulses when they are too
young to know how wrong it is to deprive a child
of his imaginative freedom. Encountering enough
ridicule or meanness, they learn that they are
supposed to like beer, pizza and trucks, nothing
else. But they don’t forget the things they wanted
when they were little. One thing men love about
women is the way we bring sweet smells and bright
colors into their lives.
Guys Can Appreciate the Gifts of Flowers Too
That’s why I want to say here that once of the
nicest things you can do to show a guy, boyfriend or father your
appreciation is to send him a flower arrangement. They don't
have to be roses: consider exotics like ginger
flowers and red anthurium or a nice potted fern. Dad’s,
friends, or sweethearts, men who get flowers at
work get more than a girly-gift. They get
prestige, the honor of being the kind of man women
spend money on. They get flowers, which are “chick
magnets” in themselves. And they get the same,
tingly surprise that women get when someone walks
through the door with a bunch of blooms and
presents it to them. Right out of the blue.
