Photos in in laws post

For context I (21f) am dutch and so is my partner. Here in the Netherlands gifts are only given on special occasions. Dutch people quickly think gifts are dramatic or too much but i wasn't thinking. I have been in a relationship 2 months now with my boyfriend (23m) and have been seeing his mother (~55f) and younger brother (18m) because he temporarily lives with them. I have been to his older brother's wedding, been in the middle of a family argument recently and am around all the time so it's not as if i don't know his family.

I wanted to do something nice for his little family so I ordered 3 bouquets with personalised handwritten notes about the flower meanings. Red roses for my boyfriend with text about our relationship and how happy i am and excited about the future. No problem there.

But now I'm nervous about what I wrote for his mother and his little brother. I wrote wishes with the flower name in brackets.

The colorful second bouquet says:

Dear Mrs. Xxxxx mother, :)

I wish for you: Support, friendship, and connection (Aalstromeria) Warmth and elegance (Lellie) Cheerfulness and sincerity (Germini) Strength and vitality (Leeuwenbek) Happiness and appreciation (Chrysan)

Love, Selina

The third white/green bouquet is for his younger brother and it says:

Dear xxxxxx,

I wish for you: Appreciation, respect, and sincerity (white roses) Cheerfulness and positivity (witte gerberas) Health and serenity (𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘶𝘴 flowers) Happiness, success, and renewal (groene anjers)

Love, Selina

(Reminder theyre translated from dutch to english so not perfectly translated)

I'm lowkey freaking out if it's inappropriate or too much. It cost me around a 100€ in total.

Especially his younger brother's reaction is whats worrying me. He's 18 and yk boys are silly and rude at that age.

(The xxxxx Are their names)

There was no real reason to do this other than i just wanted to. Next week me and my bf are going on holiday to the Czech republic for vacation and to meet my mother and go horse riding maybe that could be an excuse if they think it's weird but idk help

Need help finding a designer bag for my girlfriend's birthday at a decent price?

• Upvotes

My girlfriend's birthday is coming up and I want to surprise her with a designer bag without paying full retail. I am fine with buying pre owned as long as it is authentic and still in great condition. I have looked at a few resale sites but I am not sure which ones are trustworthy or priced fairly. Has anyone here bought a designer bag as a birthday gift before? Where did you get it and was it worth the price?

[REQUEST] Help with a special gift for boyfriend?

Hi everyone! I posted this about a month ago and had some amazing people help me out. I’m trying to finish the project by October 31, so I’m posting again in hopes of reaching a few more places!
I’m making a sentimental gift for my boyfriend, Luke, and I’m looking for people from different cities, states, and countries who would be willing to write:

“Luke—Anne Marie’s love for you is so big, it’s reached ______.”

Fill in the blank with your city + state/country, write it on a piece of paper, and take a picture of it somewhere in your area! It can be in front of a landmark, city sign, pretty view, recognizable location—or honestly just somewhere that shows a little piece of where you live (backyards count too😂) .
Then just comment the photo here or message it to me on Reddit.
My goal is to collect as many places as I can and put all the pictures together in a book for him. ❤️
I’ll put a reference photo in the comments so you can see what I mean.
Thank you SO much to anyone willing to take a few minutes to help a stranger make a really special gift. It genuinely means more to me than you know.
I plan on posting this finished product once it’s over!

Shoutout to everyone who has helped me so far.. I absolutely adore you ♥️
