If you’re sending a loved one flowers, avoid using major retailers like 1-800-you-know-what. While these options are convenient, you’re getting a lesser quality product, often more expensive.

Try putting into google the address where you wish to send flowers, then make a 15-30 minute radius searching “nearby florists.”

Guarantee, the flowers from a local florist will be bigger and prettier. Even when you ask for a small flower arrangement, they’re typically the size of a large one online. The price is usually similar or very close but shipping is ALWAYS less because it’s local. Even if you need something overnighted or same day, you’re paying a fraction of the cost vs an online retailer.

I’ve also been so incredibly pleased when I tell the florist to choose what’s in season. They’ll create something amazing that’s not trying to mimic a photo of a bouquet online. Their creativity will set your gift apart from others.
