When an actress is in a play, you give her flowers. What do you give an actor for a performance well done?

My boyfriend is appearing in a play this Saturday.


I am not sure what I should give him. Should I give him flowers, or a more "guyish" sort of gift to tell him I appreciate the work he's just done on stage?

This is my feeling about this.


I am a 39 year old male, straight. (Just as a reference for you).


I know guys say it's all feminine for a guy to get flowers but I am telling you that when my wife and I were first dating I bought flowers constantly and loved doing that for her but one day, I was in class and flowers were delivered to me in front of everyone. It blew me away and I think it was one of the nicest/ sweetest gifts ever and I will always remember that. I think this actor of yours would be touched by your actions and find it such a nice surprise.
Reply:I think flowers should be fine. Male actors do receive bouquet of flowers as well. Well, I think your boyfriend would be happy to whatever gift he is receiving. It's the thoughts that counts =)
Reply:When I used to perform in shows my friends and family gave me things like hand written notes or go to hallmark store and make your own personalized card for him.
Reply:whenever i am in a show everyone gets flowers, guys and girls. in the theatre flowers are a way of saying good job to everyone. its also fun to go out for ice cream with a bunch of people after a show! gifts aren't everything, talking to people about the experience you just had is very valuable.
Reply:You could go to a restaurant and have the staff tell him Congratulations right before they shove a large cream pie in his face.


Or wait till you get home and do it yourself.
