Celebrating Mom #8: ProFlowers Review & $50 GC Giveaway

It wasn't until I became a mom that I truly understood and appreciated all that my mom has done, and continues to do for me. She is a very special person in my life, and it's important to me that on Mother's Day she is reminded how much I love her. I know a simple phone call would make her day, but I want to do something even more special and memorable for her. Thankfully, ProFlowers makes that easy!
ProFlowers offers a large selection of high quality gift baskets, yummy treats, etc...however, they are best known for their beautiful flowers! What began in 1998 with a single farm in California, shipping just 500 rose bouquets for Valentine's Day grew 10 years later to serve more than 7 million customers with 185 fresh cut varieties from eight different countries around the world! No matter what the occasion, or what type of flower and arrangement you're looking for...they have it all! As I browsed their site, I was immediately drawn to their Mother's Day flowers, and couldn't have been more happy to learn I was going to have the opportunity to review one!

As I browsed through the flowers, I was amazed with how beautiful each and every arrangement was. Between the vases and colorful, unique flowers...it was not easy to decide on just one to review. After much deliberation, I decided to go with the 20 White Tulips and am so happy I did!

What I love about ProFlowers is that once hand picked, their flowers are delivered directly to the customer so you're sure to get the highest quality flowers possible. I couldn't wait to see my fresh tulips in person! The flowers arrived in a ProFlowers signature box and were packaged with such great care!

There were great directions letting me know the best way to get my flowers in the vase and care for them. The box even included flower food!

Once I got the flowers in the vase with water, I was in awe with how beautiful the 20 white tulips are! They are absolutely stunning. I've always loved tulips and having such a great arrangement to set out for everyone to enjoy has been great.

As I said, the tulips are sent fresh from the fields and arrive in bud form, thus they open to reveal their absolute beauty only after arrival. When I took the pictures, they were still opening, and have since opened up even more. I love how elegant they look! This is exactly the type of gift I know my mom (or any mom) would love! We recently had an open house (as we're trying to sell our house) and received many compliments on the gorgeous tulips. Standing approximately 16 inches high, they definitely stand out in a room!

Not only was I impressed with how fresh and beautiful these flowers are, but also the quality of the vase. The 20 tulips came in a blush pink glass vase that suits Mother's Day perfectly! It looks great with the white color of the flowers and is something I'll be able to use with flowers in the future. If you prefer something other than pink, they have several other choices you can choose from to customize your order so it's perfect for the recipient!

Of course, the 20 white tulips is just one of SO many great options for Mother's Day. ProFlowers has a fantastic selection of Mother's Day Flower Bouquets! Whether you're looking for large or small, colorful or simple, classic or unique....they have it all! Between their fantastic service, product quality and wide selection...I would definitely recommend checking ProFlowers out this Mother's Day.
