What would be a better birthday gift real flowers or a pretty origami flower arrangement?

Public Comments

1. Real flowers, they smell amazing and they are beautiful!
2. Depends on the person you are gifting. If they would like a decoration for their table, the origami would be better. Real flowers are kind of a pain and die within a few days.
3. I think Origami flower arrangement because that person can keep them way longer than regular flowers. And since there are a whole bunch of varieties of origami paper,you can make them even prettier and cooler than regular flowers. Receiving real flowers is nice to get,but receiving something handmade that took effort and feeling is something even more special and cherish-able than real flowers.
4. Origami, for sure. Real personal touch and effort goes into that. Buying some flowers takes no effort or thought, they can carry bugs, they're dead in a week, and they may cause allergic symptoms in some people. A good alternative to real flowers would be to get them a flowering plant like a mini rose or gardenia (which both smell awesome). That way, it can stick around at least.
5. paper flowers as they last longer and can be sprayed with scents for a nice smell
6. Origami. It's different and unique, it says, "I put some effort into this". And they last.
7. Real flowers
8. I would rather have the real ones. The smell wonderful and are very pretty.
9. Flower arrangements are always beautiful...if you get origami, make sure you know what colors this girl likes. She may have just pink in her room- or simply black & white. She may hate red. Remember, they last forever. Also, consider who you're buying for & how many occasions you'll be getting gifts. For example, you can do roses on Valentines Day, Christmas, Anniversary or alternate with origami if she likes it.... For a winter birthday as there are less varieties of fresh flowers, try the origami. Get flowers for other occasions. Then note her reaction to see which she prefers. ~m~
10. i would personally favor the origami bouquet...because more thought and effort went into it---it'll last...it is creative....but that's just me.....some women just want what everyone else gets...
11. real flowers. They are pretty and smell pretty as well. The paper oragami one sounds good too but I think the real flowers are more meaningful.
12. A high quality origami flower arrangement would last longer, but would not smell as good.
13. a pretty origami flower arrangement wud b better.................real flowers wud wither soon.....dat's y now plz plz plz plz plz plz plz answer mine too plz plz plz plz http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ag85CEV3vc1_gH_MNhQ3GAnsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20101228214615AAgGjfz plz plz plz do answer !!!!!!!!!!
14. Real flowers
15. I would say origami flower. It's more personal and real flowers will die. But real flowers will be good too ;) (sorry for my bad english)
16. Origami flowers. Think its more personal and something different.
17. both sound cool, but i think it depends on who is reciving them...
18. Its Depending on the age. If shes a litle girl under 10 or a preteen over 10 then she wond like naither . Up intill about 20 she MIGHT like the Flour arangment
19. A real flower is natural, simple & full of life, when you present a real flower to somebody, the flower speaks for your love & affection towards the person. An origami carries a touch of artificiality. After all, we present flowers to show love and love is best when its natural, simple and full of life, just like a real flower.
