    How about a pot plant rather than a bunch of flowers? That might be seen as more of a platonic "thank you" gift than a bouquet, if you're worried about being misinterpreted.

    Flowers for someone you've only met once? What about just giving her a card out a nice email? I'd find it a bit weird, even if I'd reply helped the guy out.

    Okay.... Do I have it delivered or do I hand it in myself?
    Personally I would be too embarrassed to deliver it myself, but there is no harm in it if you want to. But knowing me I would not bother with flowers and just a card, we sent a thank you card to the housing benefit guy in Wales. I bought chocolates and a thank you/christmas card for the school nurse at my brothers school, cos she had a spare key to our house and she kept lending it to me despite it being meant for my brother.

    Wokay. I guess I'll get her a card with a bar of chocolate instead. LOL

    Dont get carnations, they are horrible flowers. Choose Lillys or you could get her a bottle of wine?

    If I do that I think I'd throw in a candlelight dinner with a violinist too... or maybe not.

    Get a bunch of white, yellow and orange flowers perhaps? Pinks/purples/reds are more romantic.

    Okay everyone. So I ended up getting her a "thank you" card with a bar of chocolates! Thanks for your comments, all. Really appreciated it.

    Well giving *a flower* will probably send the wrong message. If you stroll into her office wearing a cape with a single rose between your teeth, it's going to seem a little dodgy. Get a *bouquet*, and then it doesn't really matter. Go to any local (super)market and there should be a decent selection. Throw in a "thank you" card for good measure to avoid any ambiguity, and try to keep your top buttons done up, you player!

    Run out of rep? It'll have to be personal rep then, eh?

    Get her the DeWalt DWC410 Hand Held Wet Tile Saw
