The perfect Long Distance Birthday Gifts come from 1-800-flowers.com

February 26th, 2009

My first experience with 1-800-flowers.com was absolutely flawless. Mom’s birthday was approaching and while I didn’t forget it, finding the perfect gift and getting it in the mail early enough to be received on or before her birthday has been a daunting task for me in some years past. Besides the timing factor, I didn’t want to send something I really thought she’d like just to have it break in transit. I’ve used flower services before, but I wanted something more than just a bouquet, so when a friend suggested I check out the website to find what I wanted, I figured it couldn’t hurt. I was very impressed with the easy to use menus and the beautiful photos of the various selections of flowers and gift baskets. Beyond that, I was actually quite surprised to see the sheer number and variety of choices from which to pick. We couldn’t decide between the “Ultimate Birthday Bundle” and the “Birthday Flower Cake.” We ended up going with the 1-800-flowers.com Ultimate Birthday Bundle. It was like getting a birthday party all in one delivery. It came with a festive Mylar balloon, a plush teddy bear, a beautiful individual sized birthday cake and a box of delicious Harry London chocolates. I placed the order online without a hitch, just indicating my zip code and date of delivery and a couple other preferential questions to make sure this bundle was available in my mom’s area. Surprisingly, it was even available for same-day delivery – that was a real shocker. I crossed my fingers and really hoped everything would go smoothly. Well, I needn’t have worried. Everything went perfectly! Two days later mom called. She was absolutely beside herself about the gift. She said the cake was beautiful and delicious, as well as the chocolates. She’s keeping the balloon on her dresser with the bear to show us when we visit. Mom was very surprised, elated and very appreciative.

It’s amazing what a difference you can make in someone’s day with just a simple gift. I could’ve gone with roses or something more traditional and they certainly have a large selection of flower arrangements to choose from, but this gift worked out so much better than I expected. It was simple to order and the delivery took place without any problems whatsoever and the price was very affordable, as well. You can bet I’ll be a repeat customer at 1-800-flowers.com in the future, too. Dependable service with a beautiful, worry-free delivery absolutely works for me.
