These days, you can get pretty much anything delivered. Beauty boxes, coffee and tea, meal kits, even top-quality steaks and fish can all be shipped directly to your door. One of the longest-standing operations like this is flower delivery. Whether a significant other, mother-in-law, or best friend, sending flowers (or a nice plant) to someone you care about is the ultimate just-thinking-of-you act and is guaranteed to make anyone smile.
Plus, if you’re in a pinch and looking for a super, last-minute gift that you can have sent to someone’s doorstep without lifting a finger (besides grabbing your credit card and entering their address, of course), floral arrangements and plants can really save the day. Think of it as the perfect procrastination-proof gift that doesn’t scream, “I almost forgot about you and ordered these at the very last second.”
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner (Saturday, Feb. 14), it’s a good time to get acquainted with all of your options for sending flowers and plants. There are a slew of flower and plant delivery services across the country, and we’ve rounded up some of the best.
The Bouqs Co.If you’re looking for flowers that you can’t get anywhere else (while still getting a great price), that’s where Bouqs comes in. Bouqs’ flowers are grown using sustainable practices, and the brand even works with small farms to keep the flowers fresher, longer.
UrbanstemsOffering next-day courier delivery in NYC and DC (plus nationwide shipping), UrbanStems has a wide range of unique options. Stick with a classic bouquet or go for its dried, preserved arrangements that will last much, much longer than your average fresh flowers.
1-800-FlowersThis iconic delivery service can send blooms of your choice to anyone across the US. Choose from bouquets to floral arrangements, add a gift or even an entire basket full of treats. They have so many styles to choose from, you may have a hard time choosing a favorite.
The SillIf you’d rather a little greenery than florals, the Sill has just the thing. Choose a Hoya Heart Planter for something a bit more cutesy.
BloomscapeAnother plant purveyor, Bloomscape, has some unique gifting options to show someone you care. The Bromeliad Summer will bloom bright and bold, while the Heart and Soul Collection features trailing plants and heart-shaped leaves.
