Well....unless the arrangement was a complete disaster, which is possible, I wouldn't have had any part of it replaced. I'm kinda sentimental that way, though, preferring to keep the original and enjoy the thought involved from the gift-giver. I do understand where you're coming from. There's the possibility that the arrangement was poorly made and she was trying to make them "do right" by it, so you got your money's worth. It's not like she said she preferred another type or color of flower and had them replace a perfectly good arrangement. That would be rather shallow of her. We all know sending flowers anywhere isn't exactly cheap, and she might have felt she was doing it for YOU rather than for herself. Maybe the flowers WERE falling out of the boxy vase and she was trying to keep the arrangement as intact and attractive as possible? I mean, if she didn't care, she could have just let the flowers fall out and die... I mean, if you picked out top-heavy flowers and they were in a short, boxy vase, I can see where that might happen. Some people consistently give gifts with the receipt tucked inside the box, fully expecting the recipient to exchange it for something they "really like". That may just be the custom in her family/circle of friends. At least she thanked you profusely and it sounds as though she is very appreciative of the thought. My own opinion is not to make a big deal about this if this is the first time it's happened. But if starts to happen again, then it sounds like a subject that needs to be discussed. At least the florist acted promptly to make her happy....and happy subs give the best BJ's [:)]
