I know there have been times when I needed to send flowers for an occasion, my grandma’s birthday, Mother’s Day or for a friend in the hospital. Sometimes, due to forgetfulness or procrastination, I wait to the last minute to send something for these occasions to the people I care about.

It’s so nice to know that we can now send a plant, a gift basket or a bouquet of flowers at a moment’s notice with just a click of the computer mouse.

There are so many places out there now that have great floral arrangements that they can deliver the same day.  Below are some of my favorite companies.

With  flowers starting at $29.99 at just USAFlorist.com
this online florist is a great choice for convenience and variety. You can choose from many floral arrangements, plants and a variety of gift baskets including cookie and brownie baskets, wine baskets, chocolate baskets, fruit baskets, even a poker night basket!

I love so much of their gift items and flowers, it’s hard to choose just one.  But I do want to show you this if you are looking for a “new baby” gift.

This blue tote has a little first tooth keepsake box, a box for baby’s first lock of hair, a first year picture frame, a foot and hand print ceramic mold and a cuddly plush lamb for the baby.

This online florist has really beautiful, colorful flowers and lots of gift baskets. It looks like the specialize in fruit baskets, although they have other gift baskets too.

They have a very nice array of funeral floral arrangements too. But what I like best is their lavender roses arrangement here:

This is an international company and you have to go through a few screens to get your country’s website but it is totally worth it. I can best describe it as artsy and beautiful. Their floral arrangements are so gorgeous and somewhat different than what you will find elsewhere.

Fresh flowers are a great way to let those you love know that you are thinking of them. Did you know that flowers themselves have meanings? Even the colors of the flowers you chooses have meanings.  For example, bright, contrasting colors bring out a happy, whimsical mood.  Red roses mean passion.

Fresh floral arrangements last about 4-7 days but with proper care, can last a little longer.
