Fabulous Flowers

I have always kinda hated Valentines Day because there is really no room for spontaneity - girls expect flowers and/or chocolate. I have always been into much more personal, meaningful gifts, but for this one holiday I have always just kinda gone the old school route because it's what makes my girl happy and that's really what it's all about right? So this Valentines Day, I decided that even if I had to go with the old standards, I could at least put a personal spin on it by getting her organic, local roses. I ordered the 1 dozen long stemmed roses and a vase from Organic Bouquet and they were NOT cheap (I won't specify the price cuz she reads this, but they were pretty significantly more expensive than regular roses)

They were worth it. I had them delivered to her office so she could show it off to all her co-workers, and everyone agreed that they were by far the prettiest of all the roses anyone in the office had received. The real benefit though - they actually smelled like roses. Most roses don't really smell anymore because they have been genetically engineered to look perfect and last for a long time and diluted with pesticides. These roses smelled - she told me people would come into her office from down the hall and ask what smelled so nice.

Final word: an expensive gift, not for your average bouquet, but if you really want to impress and organic/local is important to you, I highly recommend Organic Bouquet.
