So, AITA for gifting guys snack bouquets for being nice and showing gratitude?
I (26F) own a small bouquet business. I make eternal (ribbon) roses bouquets, baby shower arrangements, snack bouquets, money bouquets, etc. Usually when it’s someone’s bday or I’m showing some appreciation as a thank you gift I use my creativity and gift someone a bouquet whether it’s floral or snacks.
Well, recently I had my landlord help me fixed my bathroom in my apartment. And he had to come twice to fix it over the week. And I felt bad that he kept coming back, especially because my dad told him to redo it. So, I thought what a better way to say thank you than to gift him a small snack bouquet (also Christmas is right around the corner and I can promote my business at the same time). Okay, anyways, I told my boyfriend what I did and he said I was being weird. I ask him to explain to me how is that weird gifting someone a snack bouquet as a thank you for helping me out. He’s not upset about it but he thought it was funny. And then I told him I gave my co workers bouquets from my business too and he said “Well you did that for your friend Shawn cause he’s gay. But your other guy coworker that’s weird.” And I was like, “How if that weird? He’s another teacher that helps me out in my classroom and it was his bday.” So apparently if the guy is gay it’s okay to gift them something but if they are straight it’s “weird”

P.S. I’m usually a giver more than a taker. I see things as, if someone does something for me out of their way, or help me out, of course I’m going to show my gratitude by doing something that I love to do, using my creativity and gift a bouquet regardless if you’re a guy or not.
