A man from the Changchun area of China proved that he can be inventive when thinking of a gift for his girlfriend, as he gave her a bouquet of rose flower made from bank notes totaling 10,000 yuan (£1,168) and handed it to her.

According to QQ.com, the man went into a flower shop in Changchun, Jilin province with a bag of 10,000 yuan (£1,168) on 13 February and asked the owner of the shop to make him a bouquet of roses using the notes.

He reportedly told the owner of the shop that he wanted to give his girlfriend the 'right start' to the year of the rooster.

The romantic news which emerged online some hours ago, has been trailed with mixed reactions as many people on social media site, criticised the man for the extravagant gift.



One user commented: 'I wouldn't take it if I were his girlfriend. It's just a way to humiliate your girlfriend and it's not romantic at all.'

While another wrote: 'What happened if she tore the money in half?'. And one user said: 'So what would she get next year and the year after?.'
