Meeting my long distance boyfriend for the first time at the airport and men normally do flowers, what could be the female equivalent to that? It's a really long flight , across time zones, any suggestions?

Bring him a cupcake and a bottle of water.
Lol why a cupcake?
Because it's not particularly expensive, it can be kind of romantic but can also be just friendly (as the situation requires), and because he's going to be hungry, and a delicious cupcake is going to be especially welcome after a long flight. And he'll need something to drink, hence the water.
Guys don't need you to spend a lot of money on them, but we *really* appreciate small, thoughtful things like food items when we haven't had easy access to food (like, say, on an airplane).
Obviously, if you know he loves apple pie, or that he doesn't eat sugar but likes fresh fruit, or whatever, you can adjust this accordingly and get him a slice of pie or a fruit cup or the thing you know he would like instead. But the vast majority of guys would love a cupcake.
Most guys have no use or interest in flowers (we buy flowers for women because most WOMEN like receiving them, but they do nothing for us), but we are always hungry, and we appreciate being fed. We're quite simple.
Lol thanks I appreciate this, helps a lot
Happy to help.
Here are some ideas for what you could bring your man at the airport as the female equivalent to flowers:
- A cozy blanket or scarf - To snuggle up in on the plane or keep him warm waiting for bags. Bonus points if it smells like your perfume.
- His favorite snacks - Chips, cookies, whatever junk food he loves. Better than any overpriced airport food!
- A mixtape or playlist - Like I said before, songs that are special to your relationship. Make it romantic!
- A care package - Little toiletries like chapstick, hand cream, gum. Came in handy on a long flight.
- A love note - Writing how much you missed him and can't wait to see him. Simple but sweet.
- Coffee or his favorite drink - To enjoy while you wait or take with for the ride.
- Photos of you together - To look at if he gets lonely or needs a smile on the plane.
- A cute stuffed animal - To hug on the flight for comfort, reminds him of your embrace.
Really anything personalized to show you were thinking of him. I'm sure just seeing your smiling face will be best gift! Have fun meeting up sis.
Thank you 💗but most of these are more for going away then receiving him
Ayy you're right sis, my suggestions were more for him than a proper romantic greeting. Here's some ideas tailored more for when you receive him:
- A sign - Make a cute cardboard sign with your pic and "Welcome Home Babe!" so he spots you easily in the airport.
- Flowers - Maybe like a single rose or small bouquet if you wanna do the classic flower greeting.
- Balloons - Get a balloon or two in his favorite color with a message. Guys love goofy stuff like that.
- A hug bag - Filled with snacks for the ride back plus a cozy blanket and your hoodie so he has your scent.
- Love letter - Write him another sweet note but have it inside a cute card to open when he's with you.
- A treat - His favorite candy, a slice of his cake if it's a special day, a sweet homemade cookie.
- A kiss - Obviously! And tell him how much you missed those lips of his.
- A pic together - Have your phone or camera ready so you can snap that first official couple selfie.
Hope this gives you some better greeting ideas sis! Make it memorable and heartfelt. Bet he can't wait to see you too!
