There beautiful, they smell great, there more romantic.. Feels like ur man had to go to a little trouble to get them. They seem more mature. Who wants the calories from chocolate????

Flowers are more personal. Everyone has a favorite flower that so if you get your significant other that flower it shows that you listen. Also getting a flower arrangements shows them their own beauty

So many people give candy as gifts - but this is really hard for those who are trying to be healthy/lose weight/eat less sugar. For me chocolate is such a temptation and can easily throw me off track.

Flowers elicit such strong emotions of love and thoughtfulness, making them a great gift to express how we feel about someone special. I enjoy chocolate, but flowers have a more lasting impression.

Flowers are beautiful beyond words, and don't have diet impact.

I love flowers, possibly because my grandpa had an amazing Rose garden that I loved to walk through when I was little.

Neither are my gift of choice, but I like flowers more than chocolate. I'd rather receive nothing for such a frivolous day.

Flowers from 1-800flowers or other shops always end up in bad shape and don’t last as long as when I buy them personally. Chocolates last and last.

Honestly, neither, but between the options given I'd prefer chocolates.

I wish I did but a good quality emerald is so expensive. Yes, there are "created" emeralds, but unlike diamonds which look great, the created emeralds do not.

To continue my story (this is 3/3), I was very envious when one of my best friends got faux emeralds for her birthday and wore them first. However, I was happy to wear mine anyway. My friends bulled me because I was a "copycat" even tho they all knew I had received mine first. #meangirls!

My parents got me faux emeralds as my first pair of pierced earings and I looked at them in the box until my mom could find the "self-piercing" rings that slowly worked into your ear over a couple of weeks. When I proudly wore my birthstone earings to school my best friends bullied.

My birthstone is Amethyst. I like it. I like the color. But one, I prefer Emeralds. And two, I don't wear jewelry anymore.

No, I have no rubies, and I wept mock tears for my husband's benefit answering this.
