1800flowers for Everything

The big Valentine's day holiday is approaching and that means that 1800flowers is going to be busy processing roses and other goods for all those looking to express their love and appreciation for that special lady in their lives. This is common on Valentine's day but there are plenty of other reasons all year around that call for flowers.

My boss recently suffered the death of his mother. Within a day beautiful flowers and plants began to arrive at the office. Friends and family used 1800flowers to express their sympathy and the variety of live gifts we saw was incredible. Most of the plants are still in our office and remind us each day of how much everyone cared. I work for a family business so we are all quite close and those expressions of sympathy show us everyday how much support we really have.

I personally also used 1800flowers recently to express thanks to a friend who went out of her way to do something nice for me. There are so many people who deserve our recognition, our sympathy and our appreciation that a gift of flowers or plants seems like a simple and thoughtful way to show how much we care.
