Do you send flowers? If so, why do you send them? If not, why don’t you? I love to send flowers just because. Recently, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM contacted me to receive a bouquet of flowers and while I love flowers, I thought I would bring a smile to someone else’s face. Why?
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.
Here’s how it works: since the summer ushers in many reasons to celebrate– whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, graduation or just because—it’s easy to make someone smile with a bouquet of flowers.
1-800-FLOWERS.COM is offering several sunny and smile-inducing bouquets this summer, including:


I love to be random and send e-cards, cards through the mail and even sending flowers just to say HI or I love you.

I chose to have the below bouquet sent to my mother in law. Why? Just because!

It’s easy to give that warm fuzzy feeling with this fresh arrangement of roses, lilies, carnations, and daisy poms in a pink frosted gathering vase with reusable pewter picture frame pick. Just don’t be surprised when they get sentimental.
- Stunning gathering of fresh pastel roses, lilies, carnations, daisy poms, waxflower and variegated pittosporum
- Artistically designed by our select florists in a stylish pink frosted glass gathering vase; measures 8″H
- Accented by a removable pewter picture frame on a pick; measures 18″H and holds a 1″H photo
- Large arrangement measures approximately 18″H x 16″D
- Medium arrangement measures approximately 16″H x 14″D
- Our florists hand-design each arrangement, so colors, varieties, and container may vary due to local availability
Here are some pictures that she emailed me to show you what her delivery looked like:



The end result was exactly what I wanted! I received a phone call saying: “I got flowers today! I looked on my calendar and today didn’t appear to be a holiday. What did I do to deserve these?” My reply “Just because!” Flowers can mean so much to anyone! Overall: I would definitely order from 1-800-FLOWERS again, and in fact, I have ordered several times from them in the last year for a birthday, an anniversary and just because. Mother in law said that the local delivery place was a new place that she hadn’t heard of before. The flowers are gorgeous and the staff was very nice! Great end result!

I think my mom would enjoy the Terracotta Orchid Garden.
I’d like to order the everyday treats box for myself. Thanks for the chance.
I would love to send some summer smiles (aka a beautiful 1800-flowers bouquet) to my best friend Michele, who will be returning from a 6 month study abroad in a few days

I’d love to send something like the Razzle Dazzle Rose Plant to my sister! She’s finally pregnant and is having a heck of a time with morning sickness! This would really cheer her up.

I would love to send a Summer of Smiles bouquet to my daughter to celebrate the deliver of her new baby boy later this summer. Or maybe to my Mama … just because I love her. OR to my best friend in the whole wide world who is struggling with the realization that her daughter has a serious drug problem and she (my friend) has been denying it to herself and others for a very long time. She’s have a really tough time accepting and dealing with this reality. She could use a pick-me-up and the Summer of Smiles bouquet would do that, if only for a short time she would smile again.
I’d love to get the Lotus Bamboo for myself. We’re having a difficult time lately and I sure could use some luck! We need a major change in our feng shi (sp)!
I would love to send the Sentimental Surprise flowers to ME since I am expecting my first baby soon =)

I’d love to send a bouquet to my sister in Calif. We rarely see each other and flowers would be a great way to let her know I’m thinking of her.
