Who sent me flowers?!

I know you don’t know either but how can I find out? It’s my 40th today and I’ve had a box of flowers delivered. It’s from an online florist called Serenata.

There’s a card with them which has a message but no name at the end, it’s a pretty generic happy birthday sorry it’s not what you had planned kind of message.

A friend told me yesterday something would be arriving for me today, I just phoned her to ask if she had sent flowers. She said yes, but she ended up phoning all the florists local to me and ordering some there, but she has no idea what they look like. The name of the shop she used isn’t the same as the name on the box of the flowers I received. I read the message on the card and she said hmm yeah can’t remember what I said but it was something like that 🤷‍♀️. However I guess as she ordered them from a local florist they would be delivered by that florist rather than by a courier?

The other option is that they are from my bf who is working abroad. It’s a newish relationship and my dilemma is that if I ask him if he sent me flowers and he didn’t it’s going to be really awkward. The message in the card did sound like the way he writes IYSWIM. He calls me by my full name but my other friend who sent flowers usually calls me by a shortened version.

Third option is that it’s someone else completely random 🤷‍♀️

I guess I have to just wait and see if more flowers turn up today, and then I’ll know they’re not from my friend. My bf just messaged me though and I feel a bit rude not mentioning the flowers as my gut feeling is they are from him, and I guess if he sent them he’ll be able to see they’ve been delivered.

"my dilemma is that if I ask him if he sent me flowers and he didn’t it’s going to be really awkward"

Why?

Hi, did you send me flowers today? There's no name on the card so I'm just checking with all my nearest and dearest to say thank you 😊

I think they’re from him and I think it’s be fine to ask him. Happy birthday! Smile Cake

"Got some beautiful flowers today. Were they from you? There was no card."

Why would it be awkward to ask your boyfriend ?? Sorry i really dont understand. What's wrong with saying I've just received some flowers with no name on the card - are they from you?

EarringsandLipstick · 12/02/2021 13:36

Well, yes, just ask him but I do think it sounds like they are the ones your friend ordered.

Pluckedpencil · 12/02/2021 13:38

Phone the shop your friend got the flowers from and see if they use that courier.

Sorry for posting and disappearing - to add to a shit 40th lockdown birthday ive also have food poisoning today and have only just started feeling human again.

So, this afternoon more flowers came, which were definitely my friend’s ones as her name was on the card. So still don’t know who the first ones are from, I sent my bf a message earlier telling him some mystery flowers arrived but he has left me hanging on seen so still none the wiser. I really hope they are from him.

Ah sorry @ThatchersCold that sounds rotten, being sick like that on your birthday.

Were you talking to your BF today? Surely it hasn't just been on text?

I'm sure the flowers are for him & I hope he's back in touch soon.

Some more 💐 for you

I was just thinking this myself. Mine were hand delivered earlier this week when I was out. No note. Bf also working abroad so not him Grin

I am quite enjoying the mystery.

ThatchersCold · 13/02/2021 03:49

Yes it turns out they were from my bf 🥰. It’s extra cute because he’s never actually been in a relationship before so this is the first time he’s ever done anything like this, and he’s thousands of miles away working 12 hour days 6 days a week so I’m very impressed he got it together.
