I like getting them when a guy wants to give them (i.e. when they don't feel obligatory). I'm equally pleased when my SO comes home with my favorite snack from the grocery store or schedules a nice outing. As long as you care, women appreciate it.

Flowers are elegant & best when unexpected, would prefer them over edibles

Depends on the occasion but I'd prefer delicate edibles of some sort over flowers (e.g. macarons or chocolates from a specialty bakerie or boutique).

Define edibles.....

No carnations, lilies (unless cala) or baby's breath. Can never go wrong with peonies.

How do you think your company is faring the new market conditions, and do you think the measures taken have been fair? So far at KPMG no layoffs, but no bonus or merit increases. Promotion increases are still happening, but hard to tell if promotions are going to be that common. Overall I believe the firm has done a good job of communication of measures taken both economically and logistically (not returning to office till at least 2021).
