But I think some girls (my self as well) don't see it as discrete. No matter if your walking through a apartment building or especially a hotel. There are always looky loos around so try to give them as less to look at as possible.

It's always nice and sweet...

I love flovers!!! I feel very special when somebody bring me a bouquet It means that somebody thinking of me...

no manners

even if I recieve a single rose I take the time to get a vase and  make a fuss  it is the thought that counts. Now to be honest sometimes they are not my type  like a bunch from safeway  that drops  all over the table  yet I still take the time to put them in water and say thank you and maybe take them down later.....as far as other gifts  i love candles or a nice card or if they want to spoil me and ask  i tell them a small travel size of my favorite parfume.  Hope this helps you you sound  like a sweetheart

Well, just because she doesn't make a fuss doesn't mean it goes unnoticed, however I do understand how a muted response would make you feel.

Don't stop if it brings you pleasure to show up with a small token.  
I remember when more gentlemen were more aware of NOT showing up empty handed.  
It's a nice touch!

It was once explained to me that some girls do not like this because it can draw unwanted attention to the lady. Think about it, if a few guys all week at all hours walk up to an apartment or home with flowers and leave at the one or two hour mark? And especially if you are walking through a hotel lobby. I saw that one time attending a seminar, I suspected he was a hobbyist and he stood out with the flowers in hand.

Now I may still do so but place them in a laptop bag or something.

And I have seen where a girl will just ignore the flowers. Some cant keep them for various reasons.

I love flowers, and i prefer gift-surprise it's always romantic...

All gifts are appreciated!  It's a kind gesture.

Said the same thing.flowers draw too much unwanted attention.

I like flowers..

I do not think giving flowers is corny at all.I have received flowers a couple of times and definitely let the gent know I did appreciate the gesture.I do not think there are many gents that bring flowers so I would not think it would draw that much attention.You could put the flowers in a bag until you see the lady.Any gift is greatly appreciated since I do not expect it regardless of what it is.It lets me know that you took the time to be considerate and go beyond the norm.
That is my .02

It's true, flowers do draw attention, I honestly never really thought of it that way until now.  
But I love flowers and how they brighten up a room, and I always put them in water and give a very enthusiastic "thank you" in return.

When someone shows up with a gift, which he took the time (time out of his busy schedule that he is not getting paid for) to go pick something up with me in mind, there is nothing in the world more flattering to me than that.  

I like the gift card idea, because it is very discreet and because I just really like getting gift cards.  But sometimes I get lingerie picked out for me and I think that is great, too.  I love to picture guys walking into a lingerie store and looking around and then buying something, it is one of the most adorable things because they look so out of place surrounding by pink and lace.  

Getting gifts somehow "inspires" me to and I find that I am more enthusiastic in return.  No matter what the gift, the thought that someone went out of their way for me just makes me melt.
