We travel each year to a relative's house for Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Each time I whip up a fantastic gourmet dish to share with the guests and each year it goes uneaten. I am sure it's because my in-laws are used to their normal family fare, but it always hurts my feelings a little to see that no one will even try what I brought. I have to say that I gave up and I have a new M.O. to show my appreciation for the invitation and hospitality: flowers.And what better way to give flowers than to send them ahead of time. Have you been to the 1-800-Flowers website lately? Of course they offer the most beautiful floral arrangements including those designed by Martha Stewart herself. But they also offer a wide selection of plants and gift baskets great for any occasion.
I know you've heard of 1-800-Flowers, but did you know they have a new service called 1-800-Baskets? They even offer 40 gifts under $40.
Did you completely forget to get a gift for someone important in your life? (Yes, I know this happens, and it's okay. We are all overwhelmed.) Don't worry because 1-800-Flowers and 1-800-Baskets have many items with same day delivery.
And when you give a 1-800-Flowers gift card, the recipient can select a gift from 1-800-Flowers, Plow & Hearth, or Fannie May (I LOVE their Pixies!).
Become a fan of 1-800-Flowers on Facebook and you may even get a discount code.
