CONCLUSION - 

I have told my husband many times not to buy me flowers because they only die. I would prefer a perennial plant that I can enjoy for many years. I don't mean to undermine the beauty and significance of fresh flowers—I love them! This is just my personal preference. It’s important to know your partner, friends, or family well. Adding a little humor to your gift can make it even more special, and they will truly appreciate the extra thought that will be treasured for years to come.
