Does anyone know where I might get a good deal on a case or two of those flower pots that hold 6 cupcakes?

Its a pot that has 6 sticks and at the end of the sticks are a cup to hold the cupcake. Makes a cute floral arrangement.

During a time of great distress my employer was AWESOME on helping me get my time off and arrangements made?

How do I thank them for going above and beyond? I have never had an employer work with me like that before. It would be great to tell them thank you, but I don%26#039;t want to seem like a butt kisser.








*side info.... My grandmother passed away and I had to arrange a leave of absense ( my super helped fill them out, pretty much all I had to do was sign), plus take time off of work in the middle of shift when I got %26quot;the phone call%26quot;. My manager, my supervisor and their boss were so sweet, and it just made me feel good knowing I worked for a company that would just really bend over backwards for me. Heck, my super told me to take as much time as I needed, and my manager would call and check up on me just to make sure I was ok.





I want to send a thank you card, or even some flowers for their kindness.





Your ideas? THANK YOU.

FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersHow very nice! It%26#039;s so good to hear something like this, instead of the usual stuff about how nasty the boss has been at a time of personal crisis.





As to how to say thanks ~ nothing beats a personal face to face %26#039;thank you%26#039;. Just telling them face to face, with sincerity and openness, how much it meant to you and how special you think their behaviour was can make a person%26#039;s day, month ~ even year!





To honour them publicly, you could definitely send a big bunch of flowers, maybe some chocs and a card ... if you send it to the office, naming them and then adding %26quot;and the whole team%26quot;, you are letting everyone know you appreciate them, but also that your bosses were extra good.





That way, it is no way %26#039;butt kissing%26#039;, it is simply a heartfelt gesture of thanks.





It must have been sad losing your dear grandmother, I can only imagine the devastation as I love my grandma so much, but having a great workplace team can really help you feel better and give you a much needed boost. Having that sort of support really matters.





I WAS going to say you can also let them know how great you found them by being a terrific employee, but judging by their actions and your attitude, I bet you already are!





Cheers :-)





Edited to say: Traveller has a good point about company policy ~ you might need to check that out! Best wishes :-)
Reply:I usually am cautious about gifts to employers, etc. Even a letter to the company thanking them, could be a problem if in helping you, they %26quot;bypassed%26quot; some company policy. Perhaps just a heartfelt %26quot;thank you %26quot; in private is best.





If you really must do more than that, then I%26#039;d say a dinner certificate for two to some local, and reasonably priced restaurant if you can afford that. ( but that is six dinners if you thank all three of them that way!); about $60 usd for some place like Denny%26#039;s.affiliate

I'm getting married on the 18th of this month and his mom is doing all the arrangements what shoud i do?

I want my mom to help to and of course i do love his mom too and she does a great job on the flowers but it hurts my feelings that my mom is hardly helping especially when i am her youngest of 4 boys and her only daughter i want to say something but how should i confront her about it? she does not really care for his mom but and i dont want to hurt my mom%26#039;s feelings What Can I Do???

FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy Flowersso have a sit down... get together dinner... let the moms know that this is a group effort and suffice it to say they are both gonna have to help you with this.. that you appreciate all the very hard work his mom is doing but since they are gonna be family together.. that they should both be working TOGETHER!





it would make you and him happy..





that there is enough to get her to put in effort believe me!
Reply:If your mom isn%26#039;t really interested in helping, but his mom is, I would just let it be! Let his mom do whatever she wants to help with, and don%26#039;t stress about your mom. Some people just aren%26#039;t able to do huge projects, and that%26#039;s ok.
Reply:Tell your future husband about this and he should tell his mom politely. Since your family will be united, this is a good test to see how your communication skills will pan out!





Congratulations by the way!!!
Reply:Ask his mom how you can include your mom more. Tell her that this is supposed to be a huge mother daughter bonding thing and you%26#039;re just not feeling it... Tell her she has been so wonderful and so present (no twinge in the voice here stay sincere as you can) for her son... What can you do to get some girl bond time with your mom?





Go to her as if she were the font of all wisdom instead of the fly in the ointment.
Reply:You and your mom sit down and make a list of a few things SHE would really like to do for the wedding, not stealing any of your future Mom in laws thunder, just some things your Mom would be good at. Take the list to Mom in law, say %26quot;these are some things my Mom would really like to handle and it also will give you a little less stress so you can


not be exhausted on my big day!!%26quot;
Reply:Let your future mother in law do the flowers.


Everyone has their talents, and your mother can do something else.





Or she can just relax.


Why can%26#039;t your mom do cookies for the bridal party ? or something else.
Reply:Let the mother in law do what she%26#039;s good at and find a special task for your mother to do you don%26#039;t want to make any body feel bad or useless!super nanny

Has anyone ever tried/ or sent one of those edible fruit arrangements?

These are a kind of new thing out now- they are edible(fresh, peeled and skined) fruit baskets that are cut into the shapes of little daisies and different flowers made from melons, pineapples, grapes and strawberries. They look sooooo good but do they taste good and are they really as fresh as they look...it%26#039;s hard to tell from the on-line pictures...sometimes they just make them look nicer in the ads! Please let me know your opinions.

FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersI had one sent to me at work. get all the co-workers to help you eat it because it really only lasts the day... it looked pretty bad the next day.





but the fruit was excellent!! especially the ones dipped in chocolate
Reply:i have had one %26amp; it was pretty fresh. It tasted really good too! They are really nice gifts especially in the summer!
Reply:yes I have tried one and it was great my friend recieved one for the birth of her new born baby it really helped her feel better and get her energy back.
Reply:I%26#039;m wondering how fresh they are too because the fruit is cut and sliced to look like flowers...I know apples turn brown after hitting the air for only a few minutes...and what if you have them sent across the country??? I don%26#039;t know how fresh they would be - they look nice but I think I%26#039;ll pass.
Reply:We were going to send one until we saw the prices -- OMG, you could fill a complete cart with fruit!! I have heard they are only made when you order them to insure the freshness and I don%26#039;t remember seeing any apples - guess they only use the fruits that don%26#039;t brown too fast.
Reply:A friend of mine received one and, yes, the fruit is very good!
Reply:i have seen, tasted and sent them. they are very good. they are on the pricey side because of the detail and time that goes into them. I would check out the place in person if possible or see if they have recommendations. They are franchised so it could vary from one person to another.
Reply:I used to work at Harry and David, and their fruit arrangements made excellent gifts.loan
