A Dozen Roses? No way!
Russians are pretty superstitious. According to them, you should never gift someone a bouquet with an even number of roses. Even-numbered flower bushels are only reserved for funerals. Even if the intention was good, never show up with an even number of flowers!
Matryoshka Dolls
Matryoshka dolls, better known as Russian Nesting Dolls in America, are a popular commodity in the large country.

They are still a common staple in Russian households and can be found all over the world. He definitely got what he wanted!
