Hi all
I want to deliver ALOT of red roses for my wifes birthday in 2 weeks
Anyone know where or how I can organise this in Melbourne? (Melton 3338 to be exact)
And of course does anyone know how I can do this in a cost effective way?
Thanks.

No, but a GP can provide a referral to a psychologist.
Rapid referral is what the OP needs.
He'd probably be better off revamping their garden with roses, then she can continuously enjoy them
Buy her diamonds instead. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.

Now for a deal on lawn mower hire.
Presume short stemmed are OK?
And nos fitted to a ride on mower, for hasty getaway if busted.
What a stupid idiotic way to waste your money.
Just buy her a name brand hand bag or 4…utter waste indeed.
may as well burn the money
I have money to burn :)
please post a youtube video of you burning some,
send some to me… money not roses… and then say "see honey, i helped someone in need. I am a good person now".
Well go ahead and waste your one time jackpot on a one time gift that you will never be able to top.
Best of luck with that.Remember to buy some clarityne… in case of hay fever.

Yeah man, have you thought about what you'll buy her next year?
I don't think 1,001 roses will cut it!
I love how people get so salty when you say you made money from Crypto. Their jealous tears are delicious. Some people can't handle missing out, they are too silly to see Crypto has just begun.
If you have money to burn you don't need a cost effective solution.
Free advice next one i'll send bill
So essentially you're not rich, but came across quick cash.
A fool and his money are soon parted…always rings true doesn't it.
Buy her diamond jewellery instead. I'm sure she will appreciate it more.
@chingy213:
Not sure why you're being downvoted. Congrats on the Crypto. I joined at the worst time and am 10K down (-50%). But still hopeful.
I too think that the roses money could go to something more permanent but if it'll make your wife happy then good on ya. Gluck.Because he came here for advice on buying roses for his wife and it has degenerated into bragging about a financial windfall maybe? Just guessing.
It's not the crypto aspect of the windfall that people are castigating OP. It's the slightly abrasive attitude that OP is sporting. He's had a financial windfall that he could smartly snowball into something that would keep OP and his GF in good stead for a long time. Folks are advising him to think a bit longer term, for his benefit rather than a very expensive (and ultimately fleeting) questionable gesture.
@OP,
Crypto may be kind to you mate, dont let it get to your head. :) A number of friends of mine have struck big with crypto (think ETH in late 2014) yet they are very cautious with the windfall, not trying to piss it all off with a bunch of grand gestures. :)
Sure, some people are just trying to help him out. And a lot are down voting and making snarky comments out of jealousy, I have zero doubt about that, it's human nature. I'll get downvoted to hell for it but we all know I'm right. Personally I wouldn't buy 1000 roses, I agree it's ridiculous. But he isn't asking financial advice, he's asking where to buy 1k roses.
Just my .02 BTC 😂
If that were the case you'd already know how to do this and there would not be any consideration of it being 'cost effective.
@redslert: "Honey remember when we dated and you bought me a thousand roses? Why don't you ever do that anymore? Where's the magic and romance gone?"
@amrdeus: he is down voted coz he said he had money to burn, so i asked him to burn some, and he didnt have the balls too.
utter waste indeed.
may as well burn the money
I thought the same until I saw some of Bae's Gucci handbags. The design and craftsmanship are exquisite and they're hard wearing. Some have pretty high resale value apparently.
I'm kinda jelly.
I thought the same until I saw some of Bae's Gucci handbags.
Sounds like you have a high maintenance bae
sure some of that stuff can be nice, but the resale disappears if you stop babying the shit out of it. i recently bought a second hand lv wallet in japan which im happy with, but is pretty worn from being someones main wallet for years. original price $500, i paid $20
Not for me. I don't spend $1000 on suits. lol
Cmon dude. Surely by now you would think that just because you can afford it doesn't mean everyone can.
@smuggler: Who said I can afford it? I usually won't spend more than $500-$600. There are people that wouldn't spend over $100-$200.
I just know suits can cost thousands. But I guess it's the same with anything.
Have you ever worn a suit and the pants started forming horizontal lines across the upper leg? I think my pants are too tight. IT just looks bad.
@smuggler: Yes. And the first thing to wear out is the inner thighs near the crotch from the rubbing (of the two thighs, nothing seedy).
Well, haven't worn/bought a suit in years… Don't think I can fit in any of mine comfortably, if at all ha
i hate the word Bae, just saying, its retarded.
i love the word gronk thoughYes. And the first thing to wear out is the inner thighs near the crotch from the rubbing (of the two thighs, nothing seedy).
Holy shit yes! So true. I have two nice suits that I rarely ever wear anymore because of this precise reason. CBF'd buying replacement trousers as its going to be a rather arduous exercise (besides wear T-shirt and jeans to work anyway).
It would make her feel special..because no other guy would be dumb enough to do anything like this.
Hi Darling! Hope you are happy to see this reflecting your personality….. run fast!
Could you fit 1000 roses into an AMG Mercedes?
Oh no! What have you done now?
My money's on wrong name during sex.
Closely followed by wifey's b'day was really 2 weeks AGO.
It's amusing how often names trip up people. I remember a friend woefully telling me how he knew his GF had a new beau when she answered the phone with "Greetings, alien!" Wait a moment, he thought, that's not her pet name for me. I spent the evening consoling him in his flat and upon my departure he begged me to hide the whisky bottle so that he wouldn't kill himself with booze.
Did you hide the contents in your tummy?
@Scrooge McDuck: Under the sink with the detergents. He said he couldn't find it later so I had succeeded.
Did he confront her about it afterwards?
@Hogg: They're friends now, he's not the kind to hold grudges, a great guy. All he needed at the time was someone to listen.
Wow he really is a great guy to stay friends with someone who, from what I interpreted, cheated on him.
@Hogg: Well she had moved to another city to pursue her studies and as they say, long distance relationships are harder to maintain. Also before somebody mentions Caller ID on her phone, this was many many years ago before that technology and mobiles too.
They're friends now, he's not the kind to hold grudges, a great guy.
To him she's a friend. To her he's a sucker.
You can't truly be friends with someone who betrays your trust, exploits you and disrespects you.
@Scrooge McDuck: You're reading too much between the lines, it wasn't that intense a relationship, no promises were made. Someday when you're older you'll understand why people look back on the past with bemusement, thinking what was all the fuss about.
Sounds like minimisation to me:
Probably shouted !Xobile
That is not how you say my name.
Please do not shout in the casino sir.
"John!"
Is your wife materialistic?
That's a lot of dead flowers to get rid of, will probably have to call the council.
If you are serious, consider wholesale.
The problem is the expectation for next year will be along the same lines.
good for you. this is ozbargain, not ozwaste
Or OzCritique

thought I saw infinite eneloop detected lol

I Want to Deliver 1000 Red Roses to My Wife - Help
Yes help indeed is needed….. This will cost easily $1500 or maybe $3k or more!
You might have left it too late, as getting 1000 roses 'ready' in short demand is a problem.
So you won't be getting them cheap!
Perhaps he could think about using the money to make origami roses. Using $1500 worth of $20 bills to make 75 roses?
what about the other 925 roses then?
Well, if you wanted to 1000 origami roses, it will cost a lot more, since the smallest Australian bill is $5, it will cost $5k, unless you convert the money into a smaller bill currency like Vietnamese Dong or something. I picked the $20 bill because it is also red. $5 bills used to be red-ish, the new one isn't.
And besides, assuming each rose take 5 mins to make, it will take 5000 mins to make 1000 roses, which means ~3.5 days of continuous work, or if OP starts now and starts making origami roses for 8 hours a day, it will take about 10 days to do, which is still in time.
@geek001:
I'll take 1000 money roses any day. Unroll one each day and get something for lunch. Sounds like a good idea
This is the OzBargain way!
Nothing impresses the ladies more than cash origami
Since when did we start calling our notes 'bills'?
just make 1000 paper cranes instead.
Nah mate, that takes real effort.
Can confirm it takes a lot of effort
Source: I made about 400 oragami hearts for my ex on our first anniversary. It took ages!
Why go through that much effort for your ex? :p
For your ex? What is wrong with you?
@DevilInsane: Did you just assume my gender?
I'm just kidding, yes, we exist, idk why that'd be surprising though
Is there a cost effective way to buy 1,000 rapidly decaying flowers?
