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.
Get out of here oligarch. No working man has LEGO money in 2025.
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.
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...
Especially when the old armor is solid metal, best quality on the market, while the new armor is plastic crap made in China, still trying to position itself as market leader.
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€.
Wait, why are vegans against picking flowers? Broccoli is a flower! It needs to be picked before eating!
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.
Broccoli is for sustinance, picked flower will just needlesly die. :P
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!
