ProFlowers for the Holidays




How is it possible that December has arrived?  I was so proud of myself for getting all my holiday cards signed and stamped, but the glow of my triumph has faded now that I've realized that I STILL haven't finished shopping for everyone on my holiday list!   The kids' presents are done and dusted, and I've got most of the presents for my aunts and uncles and sisters and brothers and nieces and nephews, but there's still my kids' teachers and teachers' assistants and soccer coaches and piano teachers.  Yikes!  And did I mention DECEMBER HAS ARRIVED?

There's nothing like a bit of holiday stress to lead one to a site like ProFlowers, where you can select a variety of  flowers, plants, fruit baskets and other holiday gifts to deliver directly to your gift recipient's home -- you can even select the exact delivery date!  Your kids' teachers probably get way too many ceramic apple paperweights or #1 Teacher mugs or homemade fudge, so I'm sure they'd appreciate one of ProFlowers' beautiful fruit baskets!  Who doesn't love fruit?  It's healthy and delicious, and ProFlowers packs in a few extras to make things even more special, like nuts or chocolate or cheese or champagne.  Here are some of the fruit arrangements from ProFlowers that I'd most love to receive:


The Supreme Snack Box is the perfect mix of the healthy and the indulgent, with fruit, caramel popcorn, nuts and chocolate.


A Fruit-of-the-Month membership is the gift that keeps on giving!  You can choose from 3, 6 or 12 months, and there's even an Organic Fruit-of-the-Month option.



Okay, maybe chocolate covered cherries aren't exactly fruit, but teachers are smart people and I doubt if any would complain about receiving the Merry Mix & Munch collection.  It has the yummiest nibbles ever (perfect for holiday parties!) and it all comes in a gorgeous gift basket.



If fruit and nuts aren't your thing, you can also choose from a variety of other gourmet treats from ProFlowers, like Rocky Mountain Chocolates, Mrs. Fields Cookies (a favorite of mine -- and when ProFlowers sent us a tin of Mrs. Fields Nibblers, it was like Christmas Day had arrived early!), cookie arrangements and more.  And don't forget the gifts that gave ProFlowers their name -- floral arrangements!   I've given and received flowers from ProFlowers before, and they have never failed to make me smile, whether I've been the giver or recipient.  There's nothing like a vase of beautiful flowers to brighten up your home!  Whatever ProFlowers gift you choose to give, don't forget to check out the ProFlowers coupons page for some great deals and discounts!

Deliver Birthday Smiles with 1-800-Flowers.com




What do McDonald's founder Ray Kroc, actress Kate Winslet, musician Sir Bob Geldof, basketball player Grant Hill, and famous-for-being-famous heiress Nicky Hilton have in common? They were all born on October 5! In fact, 1-800-Flowers.com tells me that October 5 is actually the most common birthday of the year. Sounds strange? Consider that October 5 falls roughly nine months after New Year's, when all sorts of drunken shenanigans are taking place, it all makes sense....

(On a side note, October 5 also happens to be my youngest sister's birthday. We like to tease her that she was an "Oops" baby; there's a 7-year gap between her and the next sibling, and she's 13 years younger than our oldest sibling. Ewww, now I know what my parents were doing on New Year's Eve that year!!)

Here are some fun ways to celebrate birthdays with 1-800-Flowers.com:

* Surprise your favorite October birthday boy or girl with a birthday floral arrangement from 1-800-Flowers.com. 1-800-Flowers has dozens of ways to Deliver Birthday Smiles -- take this gorgeous pastel birthday cake, for example. It's sweet and delectable, and it doesn't even have any calories.


* Celebrate the most celebrated birthday of the year on October 5 with a Virtual October Birthday Bash on the 1-800-Flowers.com Facebook Page. And if you're in Manhattan on October 5, watch out for the 1-800-Flowers.com birthday float! Check out the 1-800-Flowers Facebook page to RSVP and get more details.

* You can also follow @1800flowers on Twitter to stay abreast of the latest holidays, get fun flower trivia, and learn about birthday celebrations in your area for the month of October.


Watch out for my next 1-800-Flowers.com post -- I'll be reviewing one of their birthday bouquets and hosting a giveaway so one lucky winner can also enjoy something from 1-800-Flowers.com!


Disclosure: I was not paid for this post. I will be receiving a floral arrangement from 1-800-Flowers.com for a future review, as well as a gift code to offer in a future giveaway. Product information is provided by the featured company/product and is clearly indicated as such. The views and opinions expressed here are my own.
