Hello,
Two people are planning to buy flowers and wine for a party. One of them says:
"Okay, let's do it this way. You buy flowers and I'll buy wine".

Is the sentence okay? Or do I need to say "the flowers" and "the wine"? If these two people don't have any particular wine or flowers in mind...

Thank you!
