Have you ever gotten into the second week of December and realized that you haven’t really done any shopping for Christmas? If you have, you know it’s not a good feeling. Thankfully, this past Christmas I was saved from disaster when I was introduced to what I thought was a typical Florist website. I’ve always been one to buy gifts online; I seem to be able to find bargains on items I would not have had the time to go get, but I had never looked to a florist for any type of Christmas Gifts. However, this past year being behind on doing anything for Christmas and leaving for Christmas at mom’s a week early; I suddenly realized I was going to get there empty-handed. After purchasing our tickets online, I saw an ad for 1800-flowers.com. I’m not sure now why I clicked on the link, but I’m really happy I did.
1800-flowers.com is a non-traditional website that marries beautiful floral arrangements with gifts and packaging of all kinds. The website doesn’t just give a couple of choices to pick from, there are literally hundreds of gifts and baskets and flower arrangements available. The selection was remarkable, from incredible centerpieces with rich red roses, carnations and striking white lilies alongside red candles rising in the center, to amazing christmas gift baskets resembling gingerbread and filled with various kinds of white chocolate sweets decorated with red and green, peppermints and chocolate truffles. There were also richly colored poinsettias and christmas flowers in elaborate baskets. I was able to easily navigate within the site and chose a centerpiece for my mom and a Wine and cheese basket for my brother and his wife. It was simple to make payment through the website’s secure payment screens and the order was completed. I did this at 3AM on a Saturday morning as I finished packing for a 9:30AM flight, a mere six and a half hours later. It was not difficult at all and the flowers were delivered on Monday at my mom’s house a thousand miles away. I think we arrived 3 or 4 hours before the flowers did. For me it was a real life saver. It was simple, easy to order and being available in the middle of the night made it completely convenient for my schedule, which is just what I needed.
After Christmas I went back to the website and found several Christmas items on sale, which I was very tempted to purchase for myself. I didn’t, but I did look over the other categories available and the prices of everything. I was very impressed. In my opinion, 1800-flowers.com is a top-notched site with an excellent variety of choices at very reasonable prices. I will definitely be ordering again in the future.
