Review & Giveaway: From You Flowers

Sending someone flowers can totally brighten their day. It's like having a ray of sunshine delivered!


From You Flowers' is the largest privately owned flower company in the United States. I was lucky enough to receive the "It's a Beautiful Day Bouquet" thanks to From You Flowers. This summer themed bouquet features an assortment of pink and orange roses, orange daisies, pink carnations, purple alstromeria, and other flowers, all contained in a vase. A local florist snuck up to my door and delivered them to me:


(Please ignore DH's fishing pole lol) As you can see, when they arrived some of the flowers hadn't even opened yet - now that's fresh! The bouquet I received retails for $39.99. I know that the quality and style of these arrangements can vary depending on the local florist who is fulfilling the delivery part of the order, and I am unsure who delivered mine (I wasn't kidding about sneaking up on me - I opened the door to let the dogs out, and there they were!), but they are really pretty and I was very pleased with my bouquet.

I spent some time peeking on From You Flowers' website, and they have some really pretty arrangements available. One of my favorites is the From The Heart bouquet. They also sell gift baskets, and Mylar balloons. If you order before 3PM, you can even have them arrive the same day for an extra fee if you need a last minute gift or a pick me up sent to a relative who's been feeling under the weather.

I also decided to spread the joy these brought me. I took these beautiful flowers to an elderly neighbor who doesn't get out much. You should have seen her face light up! Not only did I get the pleasure of receiving them, I was able to share some happiness with someone else.

If you'd also like to brighten someone's day by sending them some summer sunshine too, or need to send your condolences for the loss of a loved one, use promo code 01T at checkout to receive 15% off your order. You can find From You Flowers over on Facebook, Twitter, or Pintrest too.

How in the world does one pick the prettiest? They are all gorgeous. I guess if I must narrow it down, I'd go with:
