Is Mother's Day really supposed to be this stressful? I'm glad there is a site like yours where I can really do something useful about Mother's Day, and still feel like I've done something nice for someone else. You've let a little bit of air out of my stress balloon, so for that I am grateful.(Nora L., Iowa City IA )

I like that you have a world-wide reach with your delivery services. Being hooked into FTD couldn't hurt with that, right? I work with people all over the world, so it's important that I get whatever to wherever. If that means going with a different package delivery company than I use for domestic because it's more convenient, then fine. But I find that I don't do that with the gifts that I send, normally flowers. I notice that I use you folks wherever I need to send something. I guess I fell into the habit when I realized that you have handled every order I've ever thrown at you with grace and capability. This is my highest compliment, that I will continue to order from you.(Junior R. , Columbia SC )

My sister would have simply adored the arrangement of pink roses that you did. They fit her to a tee. Her funeral was a terribly sad time, but those roses made me think of her and the happy times we had. I appreciate the lengths you went to to assemble it.(Amber M., Springfield IL )

I don't know what I was thinking. I like to wander around when I go shopping, and the other day I happened into a florist, who had a special on a spring arrangement of irises and tulips. Though I often use your services for flower delivery, I was taken in by the price, and I sent some to my friend in Vancouver because she's going through a rough time right now. Well, I think you spoiled me for flowers, because I got a call from her when they arrived. She's didn't say anything bad about it, but I could tell from the tone in her voice that they weren't exactly glowing with radiance. Hmmmm, I thought. About a month later, things were still bad for her, so I decided to use you to send them (because I happened to be at home when I thought of it). The results were telling. She went on and on about how your flowers were so much better than the previous ones. She thought it could have been the time of year that accounted for the difference, but I knew better. I should have known.(Daniela D. , Rochester NY )

I was dead set against the frivolity of having flowers at my father’s funeral. He detested frivolous things of any kind. But I must say that your flowers my wife chose for the funeral did add a certain amount of warmth to the service. I don’t know if I can explain it any better than that. I ended up being very glad that she did so.(Gabriel L. , Macon GA )

Flowers are sometimes the most powerful message you can send someone. Just the fact of getting some roses causes people to change their minds, change their jobs, change their lives. I received a dozen roses from a certain lady friend a while back, and I'm not ashamed to say that I was moved. Though I can't say for certain why I was so affected by her act, I can say that I returned the favor. We both used your services, so for that I thank you. From one old Marine who didn't realize he would have this kind of response to simple flowers.(Dionne E., Sumter SC )

Portland Oregon Business

 

As a society, we tend to send flowers out of feelings of guilt for not being in a place we would normally be. Before the advent of automobiles and airplanes, we wouldn't stray too far from home (except in a few cases), and so we didn't have a need for sending gifts through the mail, or the Internet, or using FTD, or some other wire service. But we are products of our times, and because even nuclear families are so far flung, and because husbands and wives often live and work on different continents from one another, we have this need to send gifts to one anther in lieu of being there. What we're acknowledging is that we usually do what we can to make compromises between how we would like to live and how we would like to be close to one another. It's apparently socially acceptable to be apart like this as long as we can send each other things that remind us of this emotional connection even though there's no physical connection. ROCK ON, BROTHER!!!(Rey V., Nagoya )

I have a garden of my own flowers but you know sometimes I just want to see what other people are doing with them. That’s why I love sending myself one of your flower bouquets!(Emerald G. Stern, Louisville Metro KY )

The real measure of how well a surprise present goes over is how well the person receiving the present responds. Judging by the smile on my wife’s face, I’d say your flowers measured up pretty well.(Cameron U., Lincoln NE )
