Love is in the air



With February just around the corner, Valentines day is surely a few weeks away. It would be fool hardy to wait until the last minute to order your flowers and keepsakes for your special someone. How many times have we been in panic as we frantically search for shops to buy flowers only to discover (much to our dismay) the high prices both for the flowers as well as the delivery charges?

It would be a good idea to scout for flower shops this early or even a few weeks before valentines day so that at least you can have a basic idea on what arrangements they have on offer. Ask them what prices they usually sell their flowers at valentines day so you can compare prices from different shops. Also ask them their delivery policy and charges as early as possible.

Asking future prices for flowers now, is however not a sure fire way of nailing the price of a particular flower arrangement on valentines day. Flowers just as any consumable that has a definite "shelf life" have prices that fluctuate wildly especially at special occasions such as Valentines day. A price of a flower now can double or maybe even triple when Valentines day arrives.

One good idea is to order the flowers three or even four days prior to Valentines. Flowers ordered from 3 to 4 days prior can net you significant discounts. Ordering a day before Valentines day is a guarantee of frustration because of lack of availability of flowers and the inevitable high prices.

So shop informed and shop wisely. Here is a couple of ideas on flowers you can get at our shop. Also remember that variety is the spice of love. Always sending her red flowers is fine initially but can get a bit boring as time (and your relationship) matures...
