He is not in a hospital. He is not super sick. I only wanted to show caring from far away. Here in USA, I would make him my best cure of chicken soup and deliver it personally of course. ..and still probably bring him flowers to cheer him up.
How about sending him a planter?

I think flowers are nice. I have sent it in the past to male friends with different results - some loved it, others felt it wasn´t "manly". I think showing caring when somebody is sick is a perfect occassion to send flowers regardless of gender - it´s not like you´re sending him roses to profess your undying love (in that case I´d say wait for him to send the flowers lol). Anyway, if you´re hesitant to send the flowers, I´d send some sweets or something like that - just makes sure not to send anything with gelatin if he doesn´t eat pork products.

Even as an American girl, I like to do the unexpected and be creative. Are you saying that there is at least nothing that is of tradition that would be horrifying to him if I did send flowers to him? .......And if not flowers, is there something that I can do that is appropriate to send get well wishes to my friend. I am trying to be more personal than always using internet for all correspondance.
Well
Clover..Since you want to be creative, unexpected and MORE personal..ermm..

just do whatever you want. you can not check every your decision or change yourself in accordance with:
1. .....
2. ....
3. ... etc
train your friend to accept you as you are, with your wish to present him flowers  )

Reyhan..
I was thinking something like her shoes or her socks!!!! What are they got to do with vasectomy?
And a Turkish man will never agree to have vasectomy..The chance he has had a vasectomy is negligable here..
What were you thinking? OMG..

Aaa..she can give him the shoes..but she seems to care for him. So you only could think at ..underwear.

i think you can send flowers, but you need to be careful with choosing which ones.sunflowers here is on all corners as they are for seeds and for oil, so i dont think that it will be something special even they look so cheerful.Good luck!
