I love plants and flowers. I feel that they add a nice natural element to any home. Plus they add a splash of color.
I dream of having beautiful floral centerpieces on my dining room table, especially during an elegant meal or holiday gathering. Sadly I don’t keep many plants or flowers in my home. It’s not because I don’t want to (I DO!) it’s just that I have five cats and a dog and I worry that I’ll bring something in our home that could be toxic to them if they happened to take a nibble out of it.
I am having a delivery of Cala Lilly delivered some time today for a centerpiece I’m making. I’m already panicking about one of my cats noshing on them. I’ll have to keep the centerpiece up high on the cabinet when no one is around to keep an eye on it.
I’m glad floral places, such as ProFlowers, offers consumers so much more then just plants and flowers. Don’t get me wrong, I love to send flowers as gifts. Actually I like to send plants more so then gifts, only because plants last longer. Unless you are someone like me who was born without a “green thumb”.
Not too long ago for a condolence gift I sent a beautiful plant arrangement instead of flowers. I figured my sister in law received enough flowers and perhaps a long lasting plant arrangement would be nicer because she would be able to enjoy it for many months (possibly years?) to come.
I sent the Peaceful White Garden arrangement. It’s lovely and I know she appreciated my thoughtful gift during a difficult time.
When it comes to plant and floral gifts, ProFlowers is certainly a one-stop-shop. They have it all, from holiday arrangements to house warming gifts and from wedding flowers to birthday gifts. In fact I love their wedding flowers. We eloped so I had no need for flowers, but if I did, ProFlowers would be the place to shop. They have pre-made floral packages to find any budget.
I also really like that they offer plants, not just flowers. Flowers are beautiful. I love to received flowers. But at the same time they don’t last very long. That is why I think sending a plant, instead of flowers, is a nice idea if you want the gift to last a very long time.
ProFlowers has a nice assortment of plants. My favorites are the Bonsai Trees. Some of the Bonsai Trees even have flowers on them.
ProFlowers has plenty of holiday plants and seasonal plants. I really like the Living Christmas Ornament. It’s an actual plant that lives inside of a glass ornament. This would certainly make for a great conversation piece at your next holiday gathering.
I recently picked up some goodies from ProFlowers. No, not flowers. Not even a plant. I picked up gourmet chocolates. NEVER shop online or offline when you are craving sweets. 🙂 I probably would have picked up a couple of the Living Christmas Ornaments (above), one for myself and one for a gift, except I was craving sweets (CHOCOLATE!) and I saw the Rocky Mountain Chocolates and FREE Chocolate Covered Pretzels on the ProFlowers site and I just had to order them.
The chocolate came in two boxes. There are 36 assorted chocolates in all and two delicious chocolate covered pretzels.
I honestly thought I took pictures of the chocolates but I can’t see to find any in my folders. Sorry about that.
The chocolates do come with a sheet that tells you what each chocolate is. Personally I love all chocolates so it doesn’t matter to me. However picky people (like my dear hubby) like to know what they are going to put in their mouth before it happens. He kept the picture “map” on his lap while he went through both boxes and set aside the chocolates he wanted to try. Not me! I just kept popping chocolates in my mouth.
Needless to say the chocolates WERE super good (I say “were” since they are all gone now). There is a nice assortment of chocolates in this set. I love the nuts and the truffles most of all.
I also picked up the Handmade Chocolate Covered Snowman Hats gift set. It came with an adorable felt hat that you can use year after year as a holiday decoration (its adorable!). It also came with 16 chocolate covered “hats” (marshmallows on top of a cookie). This is really cute. Much nicer in person (and tastier!) then in photographs.
Don’t let the name fool you. While ProFlowers DOES offer consumers a wonderful assortment of flowers for all occasions, they also offer so much more including plants, gourmet treats, fruit baskets, wine and so much more.
