This is America. We like things big. That’s why you get unlimited salad and breadsticks at the Olive Garden before you dig into your three-part Tour of Italy (how can we be expected to decide between lasagna, chicken parm and fettucini alfredo??). But is bigger better when it comes to your Valentine’s Day gift decision? The Ultimate Rose says YES. The flower company towers over their competition, offering 3-foot, 4-foot and 5-foot roses to “make a lasting impression.” (Before they wilt and die.)
The 3-foot model is $129.99, with the larger ones running for $174 and $239! Yowza! Guys, don’t fall for this crap. You may like your giant tires or ridiculously big TV, but with roses it’s not quantity over quality. Plus, it’s not like the actual roses are any bigger than normal ones…you just get a lot of leaves. I love flowers – the fact that they’re so temporary is part of why they’re romantic – but they shouldn’t cost two hundred big ones. Find your loved one a cute mixed bouquet (or roses, if you’re the traditional type) and spend the rest of your money on a romantic picnic or something. If it’s a longtime girlfriend, try jewelry. I love these Tiffany keys - just don’t make a terrible pun about them being the key to your heart. And make sure to save some money to take your date to the Olive Garden.
