There’s a reason why fresh flowers have maintained their chokehold on the Valentine’s Day gift-givers of the world for decade after decade. There really is something incredibly special about fresh flowers! They heighten the ambiance of any room, are therefore an instant mood-booster and create a level of sophistication that can’t be replicated with other décor items. That’s why we’ve compiled this list of the 10 best online flower delivery services to help you find the perfect bouquet for your special someone this year. And don’t worry, we know nothing is one-size fits all, so we’ve left the tired designs and often-failing services behind. Consider this your thoroughly modern go-to gift guide that even includes houseplants, since florals aren’t everyone’s cup of tea.
And if you’re in the “flowers for Valentine’s Day are so cliché” camp, we see you too! Check out our guide for totally non-cheesy V Day gifts, a super comprehensive guide for restaurants offering Valentine’s Day deals and you can even take your gift to the next level with a super fun pop-up card.
