A summer of smiles with 1-800-FLOWERS.COM

This summer, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM is on a mission to spread smiles across the nation! That’s why they’re calling it the “Summer of Smiles,” encouraging everyone to brighten someone’s day with thoughtful gifts and flowers. Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, graduation or just because, the summer ushers in many reasons to celebrate! It’s easy to make someone smile with a bouquet of flowers. :)

As part of their effort to keep everyone smiling this summer, a few weeks ago 1-800-FLOWERS.COM gave me the opportunity to send a personalized smile to someone special in my life. The decision was easy – my sister. She’s always so thoughtful and supportive, and is an amazing aunt to my daughters. She was beyond happy and very surprised! I borrowed these photos from her Facebook account. Shhh! Her status update:

“I’ve been having a stressful week at work – among other things – and my sister thought about me and made me cry when I arrived to the house to see this!!! I LOVE THEM!”

Making her cry wasn’t really my intention, but I figure it was a happy cry! I was so thrilled to see the photos my sister took of her sunny bouquet. I recently sent a floral arrangement to my grandma from a different company and wasn’t happy that it was delivered in a box, when it specifically said in the order details that it wasn’t going to be. She had to set it up herself… and well, let’s just say it didn’t turn out like the photo on the website and I was a little disappointed. But anyway…

The ‘It’s Your Sunny Day‘ bouquet from 1-800-FLOWERS.COM looks just like what I imagined it would look like… and with the HUGE lily and yellow roses, maybe even better!

  20. I would love to give or receive pretty much any and all of them!

    Since both myself and the person I would like to send the flowers to are breast cancer survivors, I’m kind of drawn to the message and the colors of the lovely (pinkish!) “Pearls of Wisdom”.
