Valentine's Day

Hey everyone,

 

I'm planning on ordering flowers online for my girlfriend this year for Valentine's Day, and I was wondering if any of you can suggest any good reputable sites to order from.

 

I'm currently thinking of ordering from this site: http://www.proflowers.com/valentines-day-vdf

 

...but I'm not sure if the prices there seem fair or not. I don't want to get anything that would look ridiculously cheap, but I also don't really want to go over budget too much either.

 

I like the idea of ordering online since it'd be more convenient and I also have to have it shipped to New York because she'll be there during Valentine's Day.

 

So yea, if anyone else can suggest any other sites or so, please let me know..., I'll also come back later and post links for the stuff I'm thinking of ordering, and you all can tell me what you think. :)

 

Plus, maybe us dudes on this site can use this as a resource to help all of us prepare for Valentine's Day. :)

This is a good thread. If someone has any nice deals, please let me know cause it would make my flower purchase for the lady much easier. Although I'm actually debating on whether I'll get flowers or not (I might go more with a potted type of plant because she seems to prefer something that would last as opposed to a think of roses that will ultimately just die).

I know it might be tempting for you but dont steal a plant from the lobby of your office building.

If you guys use any proflowers or 1800 flowers, make sure you dont ask for 10 percent off or free shipping. They will sign you up for something you dont want. Take it from me, I see it every day at work

 

So that's why you always have naked men on your desktop.

That was easily the funniest commercial of the whole Super Bowl. I lost it when the flowers said "No one wants to see you naked" :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Yeah, that one and the one with Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head were the standouts for me this year.

Don,

 

Proflowers generally send unblossomed flowers to the person and the flowers bloom after a day or two in their house. Keep this in mind as when they arrive they arent very pretty. ftd.com sends already flowered arrangements.

 

Sweet, thank you very much for that info, I'm glad to be aware of that.

 

Thanks a bunch, dude.

Be more involved.

Go to a flower shop in person and describe what you want. I don't know anything about flowers, so I'd always go with their favorite color and ask them to work around that. Another tip is to tell them that you want the bouquet to look full. In other words, more flowers that are less expensive instead of a few really expensive ones. I'm not sure why florists always want to give you four really expensive flowers and call it a bouquet.
