My sister always sends me flowers for my birthday. I thought it was peculiar at first. I was living in a dorm and got a lot of comments, for sure. But now I understand it as a representation of her love and I even look forward to getting them. Be happy that someone cares enough to send you flowers. And maybe send HER flowers on HER birthday. I bet she'd love it.

I'd rather get something useful. Flowers just die in a few days.

LOL… run… run from the flowers before they turn you into a girl!!! Ha ha…. Seriously, I agree with gadgitgirlmbl they’re just flowers which is a sign of love and feelings for you. It’s a nice thing that your aunt is showing you in a way that she can while being away from you. Don’t be so nasty about it. If you’re that embarrassed then hide them like Double X said from your guy friends, but say thanks to your aunt and show her some respect too.

I understand it’s a little unusual for men, but I doubt anyone will think less of you at all truly for merely recieving flowers from a family member. I am surprised your mother doesn’t understand how you’re feeling though, I’ve recieved embarressing gifts before but my parents were always understanding and they felt less guilt than me when disposing of them. Your birthday is supposed to be an enjoyable time for you, and the last thing she should be worrying about is etiquette on your behalf. I think it would be quite easy for her to discretely hint your aunt to not send them, she might not succeed, but I’m surprised she will not even attempt to remedy the situation. But as i said, don’t worry about it, it’s likely no one will even see them, make sure your mates aren’t around when they’re getting delievered if you can and put them in a room where your friends won’t go when they come round? I’m sure may guys your age feel the same way, but when you get older I think most realise that they’re just a nice gesture. Hope you have a good birthday!

Excited, because now I have a 'get out of jail free' card that I didn't have to buy with my own money!

I think they are a waste of money, but it seems that your Mom likes to have your flowers around the house. When you get your own place, you can tell your aunt you'd rather have socks or underwear. LOL

I do think it's a little odd, but it's nothing compared to being a total ingrate. Grow up.

No, I'd be embarrassed to get flowers as a gift too. Maybe talk to your aunt about it.
