Holiday Shopping...

-
For those of you who read my blog, you know I rarely make it overly "Salesish" but in the spirit of Christmas and knowing that many of you will be running around like crazy looking for gifts, I thought it might be nice if I point out some of my favorite offerings this year.

The orders for some of our Teleflora product have started coming in and I have to say I really love the Christmas Cookie Bouquet. The mixing bowl is simply adorable and the arrangmenet really makes up nice. Because this is a Teleflora product, it's easy for us to help you send this to just about any location in the US and Canada. At $52.95 this really makes a sweet gift for anyone on your list and shopping online and hand delivery make it both fast and simple.

Another Teleflora  product that I'm really liking is the Teleflora Lenox Holly-Day arrangement. The bowl is aspecially lovely and we have already sold quite a few of these, minus the flowers. That, to me, is the ultimate compliment as people really love the piece. At a sale price of just $62.95 for both the Lenox piece and the flowers, that truly is a good deal. Again, we should be able to send this same day anywhere in the US and Canada through our Teleflora Network of shops. 

The next big seller this year appears to be poinsettias. It's funny, some years we sell tons and other years, not as many but this year people are wanting poinsettias. We've already had to restock three times. Red are always popular but white has also been in demand. My personal favorite are the Monet ones, that are soft with pink tones. Those are selling well "Cash and Carry" as customers can really see them. Feel free to ask us or any Florist you call about the different varieties that they have available. Red is traditional but sometimes its fun to be a bit daring and send something different! Prices starting at $34.95 these make warm, affordable gifts that will be enjoyed long after the holiday has passed.

Lastly, our custom gourmet basket options are always a customer favorite. Let us know what the person receiving the basket likes and we create a custom basket just for them. Cookies, candy, chocolates, truffles, nuts, cheeses, crackers, chips, pretzels, popcorn, soda, tea, coffee, bread sticks... the list goes on. We keep a selection of over 70 items in stock during the holidays not to mention fresh fruit such as apples, grapes, oranges, grapefruit, etc. So much to choose from!

Feel free to shop our extensive selection online on either of our websites at http://www.sendingsmiles.com/ or http://www.mondaymorningflowers.com/! Use promotion code Smile and receive $5.00 off your order.

Never heard of a Grave Blanket? Don't worry, your probably aren't alone.

They are made in a variety of sizes and styles, for example, standard, cascading, traditional, and double wide. Each of these styles has a specific design and flower capacity .
