 I asked my boyfriend and this was his suggestion. He thinks that you should buy flowers and bring them to his house in person. Surprise him at his doorstep where he can really appreciate the sweet gesture without the pressure of having his friends around. And then he can thank you properly... *wink wink*.
I think it's great wanting to surprise your man with flowers. If only I could get my man sending me flowers!

 ahaha indeed, his coworkers will make jokes about this for weeks, some pretty funny responses here, but personally if i get jokes like that i'd only feel flattered that i got this attention from a girl and they didn't.
still, i dont think you should do it, doesn't sound like this guy thinks like i do

 Well usually its the woman who receives flowers, and flowers arent exactly a man thing, however its a beautiful thought, and I am sure he would be overwhelmed at your kind gesture. xxx

 If your partner is the shy or easily embarressed type, he may not appreciated as much you sending it to him simply because his work colleagues may make jokes about it for weeks.
If you really want to send him flowers, do it at weekends when he is at home or send him another gift as advised by Forgetmenot.

 Well the way I see it, real romance is about being thoughful towards the person rathar than flowers and poetry and the like. So you could send him a gift that's more suited to him personally and that hasn't got any girly conotations like the flowers might be seen to have by some so that could be very lovely and romantic with less chance of embarrassing him. It's very lovely that you want to do something to make him feel special anyway and I'm sure whatever it is he'll know you care. Good luck :)

 I'd be flattered and surprised. Go for it!
Real men do eat quiche, and they don't mind getting flowers either.

Guess based on your answers it depends on your man and you should know him best... but maybe not if you have to come on here and ask... sorry but... it's true. If he is a romantic like you, do it. If he isn't, then don't.

 Hi there,
I agree with Eyes. I don't think you should do it. While it's a romantic gesture, I'm sure he'd never hear the end of it from his friends.
What about having something else delivered to his place of work? Eyes mentioned going out to lunch - so either you could swing by with something yummy for you both to eat or maybe have his favorite restaurant deliver a meal to him. Just a thought. :)
Take care.

i say go for it, at most he'll be a bit embarrassed...if he bites your head off you kno to find someone with a lighter attitude lol

 Just took an office poll and all the guys said you shouldn't do it. Take him out to lunch instead.
