My fingers are tingling to tell you about this wonderful on line company called Pro Flowers.
I was given a gift card to order something and then share my experience with you dear blog readers. This Monday I guess we can say our focus is thinking about Mother’s Day gifts.
I poured over Pro Flowers online catalog for the longest time trying to decide what beautiful flowers or luscious gourmet gifts I wanted to buy. I finally decided on the sweetest Polk-a-dot tea cup with an orchid. I have been told they are easy to grow so we’ll see. I ordered Monday night and it came on Thursday. I was notified by email every step of the way where it was in its journey. I am soooo excited to have this little cutie. It is beautiful and arrived in lovely and perfect condition.
I also ordered a gift basket from their gourmet section.
Look at the cute basket it will come in along with Country Ketchup, and three mustard’s. I am a mustard gourmet, the stronger the better. I can’t wait to get this. Now for the reason I haven’t received it—and it is a good story…..
After my orchid arrived I had another delivery truck pull up in front of my home. (I love getting packages). It was a big box that kind of confused me as I didn’t think mustard and ketchup would take up so much space. But no my friends, they had delivered to me by mistake a BEAUTIFUL fruit basket! I can’t find the very one they sent but it was something like this one, only better. (Wouldn’t you know I forgot to take a photo before I took out all the fruit. It had oranges, red and green pears, pineapple, kiwi, a mango, several cuties and dried fruit in a large attractive basket. The fruit is delicious!
I thought maybe I pushed the wrong button when I ordered (which would have been impossible) and I got this basket instead of the other one. I looked up my order and then I called Pro Flowers. Let me tell you, they have the nicest customer service people working their phone lines. It was answered immediately; I was given an apology and told to keep the basket as it was their mistake. I was blown away. My ketchup and mustard will arrive next week. I told her there was no hurry as it was not a mother’s day gift—or any other gift except for me as far as that goes.
Gift cards can be included. I had written me a silly message and signed it “myself”. The gift card comes on plain white paper.
I suggest you check out Pro Flowers for yourself and see what very reasonable prices they have on their flowers and other products. Besides great Mother’s Day gifts they also have Mother’s Day plants and flowers and other unique gifts for mom—and for you too.
By the way Mother’s Day is May 13 in the U.S. and Mothering Day is what they call it in the UK. I checked my England calendar and it isn’t listed, someone please tell us when it is in the UK and in whatever country you live in if you have a Mother’s Day.
