Giving flowers in islam is haram! so please stay away from these western devil worshiping traditions. It is because of these weird traditions other culture's women feel depressed. Stop celebrating valentine or anniversaries you got married La di frekin' da now get used to it.
PS> just kidding i would give my wife something new. :)
Almost every birthday and anniversary its the same: flowers. He doesn't bother to put any thought into getting me something I would actually enjoy. All he does is fulfills the formality. I would rather he didn't bother. So, should I thank him for the flowers I just got? or tell him how I really feel?
My lady is anti-flower. She told me early on that if I waste any money on buying her flowers she will shove the guldasta up my rear. Since I don't fancy growing a flower bed there, I stick to other thoughtful variety.
Ok, I didn't realise i would get such a strong response from people thinking I'm such an ungrateful cow! the fact is I know the way his mind works, he's just jann choriya-ing.
Also, we are not really talking at the moment, so he just got them delivered by the florist and when he comes back from work we probably still won't really be talkin so getting flowers in between is just off-key!!
Anyway, I text him and said thanks so that I won't have to thank him to his face!
I doubt he is "jaan choriya-ing". Sounds like there is a fight, and this is his way of trying to make up. Just slowly start talking to him again. I would say thank-you to his face.

Oh yes, I was once angry at my mom, so I sent her eidi (that I do all the times) but did not tell her and ask my sis to pick from western union and give it to my mom without mentioning my name.

Hunn i really don't know why people are flipping out here and telling you to be more greatfull, which since you married his butt i know you're greatful but you want something more, which is okay!! Isn't that what a mrriage is about, that you should be able to ask for anything from your partner?
And its really really simple.
Instead of wasting your time opening this thread you should have told him right on his face that he does not put an effeort into your gifts. ANd it doesn't matter, he can't do it, or he doesn't have the time, because to make you happy he needs to get over it. Just like you would do it for him.
Its a win win.
And you don't have to make it sooo hard like these fruit cake guppies here who think you should just put a smile on and keep it moving.
I really don't know what planet some people come from but thats not how a marriage works, you got to put an effort, even in the smallest things like a birthday gift.

so lets talk about aniversaries, I think those are a 2 person deal aren't they, so if he is not creative with anniversary presents, why dont you take the initiative and plan something, make it about something you can both enjoy, a nice evening out, some show, some activity, weekend away, whatever. Birthdays I can understand, but I really dont understand when any individual in a relationship complains about anniversary present not being something one really enjoys.
