Picking wild flowers disrupts the circle of life, artificially growing flowers requires energy, fertilizer and insecticides which also disrupts the circle of life. Best option is to buy her broccoli instead. Don’t wrap it though, wrapping paper is basically really flat chopped trees with a layer of chemicals on top. No ribbons either. Maybe some sauce, but not milk/yoghurt/egg-based.
Sure but who said anything about picking wild flowers just to waste them? I propagate wild flowers in my back yard to help native pollinators. They also visit my vegetable garden! I love to see all the different bees and hoverflies!
Lots of vegans, and non-vegans, are anti-picking-of-flowers, because if you leave them to live, they live longer and look prettier, instead of wilting sadly in a vase until they’re fully dead.
So for some people, it’s better to give them a live plant, so they can kill it by accident on their own time.
Ive been vegan for more than a decade and most of my circle is vegan. I don’t think i know of any vegans against cut flowers. The only argument i can see is that if you were cutting flowers found in the wild then you could be harming the environment which indirectly hurts the wildlife and pollinators. But i think most vegans would be ok with buying flowers. My wife and i also just grow our own and cut only a fraction of what we plant.
Btw if we’re talking about Costco for chicken, they do have reasonably sized bouquets for as cheap as $10. And while that chicken will be gone in a day or two, Ive kept a Costco bouquet alive for my wife for a minimum of a week.
Lego is like the modern version of roman families handing down their armor and weapons to future generations BC ain’t no fucking way they affording a whole new set each damn time the Gauls start acting up.
Problem is, she’s vegan, so she’s against picking flowers and against eating chicken.
It’s best you just save the money for a month or several and buy her LEGO.
Wait, why are vegans against picking flowers? Broccoli is a flower! It needs to be picked before eating!

Broccoli is for sustinance, picked flower will just needlesly die. :P
Get out of here oligarch. No working man has LEGO money in 2025.

If they’d had Lego they could build fresh armor to fit
I really hope my mom hasn’t gotten rid of my lego collection after I moved out like she did with my rocketry collection without asking me…
And no oligarch will spend 500€ on a crap LEGO car when a real (used) one costs less. And while Cada has much better ones for 200€.
