Thank you to BloomsyBox.com for sponsoring this message about how I can regularly gussy up my kitchen table with flowers!
I can get clothes, jewelry, essential oils, makeup or even comic gear delivered to my house. (Heck, if it saves me an errand and some gas, chances are I’ll order anything online!) Most of the time, I’m browsing for things our family regularly uses or needs. Occasionally I’ll splurge for myself or the kids (usually the kids!), but most of the time, I don’t need a bunch of stuff cluttering up the house. My favorite things to spend money on are experiences or things that I will use up and enjoy, like bubble baths, makeup, food or flowers.
Speaking of flowers, y’all know my cursed brown black thumb and all that it entails, so unless the plant lives outside in the ground, I’m going to kill it in less than 2 months, and that’s being generous. I’m famed within my family for being able to swamp a cactus, dry out an orchid and strangle an iron plant, which my Mom thought, “surely you can keep this one alive!” (It lived about 5 months before it perished…). The only way I’ve found around my black thumb is to have cut flowers or greenery with an known life expectancy around the house! When I can’t grow my own flowers, I like keeping various cut bunches on the kitchen table, bringing some life, color and decor to my pretty wooden table.
But there’s a new kid in town in terms of flower delivery. Bloomsybox.com can set you up with a flower subscription box; kind of like a Birchbox, but for flowers! You’ll receive a fresh cut, single variety (no extras, fluffy fillers or extras), hand-tied bunch to your doorstep, and all you have to do is place them in a vase. The next month, a new variety shows up, ready to grace your home (or office… or home office!) with a little fresh green and life! A basic subscription costs $34.99 per bouquet for a monthly delivery (level 2 is $38.99 and level 3, for a great big bunch, is $48.99). And if you’re out of town, you can suspend your service for ZERO charge.
The flowers are sourced direct from suppliers in South America, Holland, Thailand and California, meaning no middle-man mark-up to increase the price. Can’t you see yourself unbundling a little something each month? And there’s a gift option, too. Mother’s Day is coming, so how about sending either a single delivery or a 3-month bundle to someone you love? Send a sustainably-farmed bouquet to your Mom, Grandmother, or Great-Grands! Or me… you can always send flowers to me… 😉
I love this as a gift idea! And that you can do a subscription!
