You don’t bring me flowers…

You don’t sing me love songs…

You know that song by Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond, right?  Well, that’s how I feel sometimes. I guess it’s bound to happen after almost 9 years of marriage.

Remember those flowers I received on my birthday? When I opened the door and saw the box, my first thought was that they were from my husband.

But that notion lasted for about half a second. I know better. The flowers were courtesy of the California Cut Flower Commission (CCFC). The fact that they were delivered on my birthday was purely a coincidence! They sure are beautiful… just as bright a week later as they were when I put them in the vase.

I’m not going to give up on my husband, though. I know he’ll buy me flowers again one day. Maybe he just needs a hint here or there…

That’s where Hint Cards come in. The CCFC conducted a survey in which they found that 42% of women don’t receive flowers as often as they’d like so they created these “Hint Cards” to help drop a hint to your significant other that you’d appreciate a beautiful bouquet every once in a while. These cards will be available at retailers and florists later this year.

According to the CCFC:

“These Hint Cards incorporate a little romance or a little humor and are the perfect size to be left under pillows, inside lunch bags, stuck on mirrors, tucked in billfolds, placed on plates or just delivered from hand to hand.”

This is an example of a card:

So tell me who needs a hint! The first 25 people to leave a comment on this post will get a set of Hint cards, along with an opportunity to win a grand prize of one free California-grown bouquet every month for one year*.

*Once the winners get their Hint cards in the mail, they will get an invitation to go online and take the survey, which will automatically enter them to win the Grand Prize.
