(NAPSI)—Legend has it that King Henry VIII—the one who famously had six wives—declared the first Valentine’s Day in 1537. Ever since, it’s been an occasion to show the one you love how much you care, with cards, sweets and gifts. And flowers. It just isn’t Valentine’s without the flowers!
Roses Help You Rise to the Occasion
Some 200 million roses are grown to meet the demand for Valentines each year. Perhaps no one knows roses better than 1-800-Flowers. “On Valentine’s,” says founder Jim McCann, “she wants a gift that wows. When it comes to delivering a smile to your special someone, don’t settle for less. With amazing deals on romantic bouquets and delectable gourmet treats, 1-800-Flowers guarantees you’ll make a lasting impression on your Valentine. Trust us. We’re the official florist of Valentine’s!”
For Valentines, Everything Nice
McCann’s company takes great pride in featuring truly original floral arrangements created by local artisan designers. For example, the bright and beautiful Sugar ‘n’ Spice Bouquet is an exclusive design from the talented Tricia Smith of Twinbrook Floral in Fairfax, Virginia. Smith combined vibrant orange roses, hot pink Gerbera daisies and more for a fun and fashionable arrangement sure to surprise and delight someone special in your life—on Valentine’s or any day!
Just Like the Candy Heart Says…
Some bouquets just stun right from the start. Consider Be Mine, a luxurious handcrafted arrangement of red roses and pink Stargazer lilies designed to wow your Valentine, beautifully displayed inside a compact glass cylinder vase lined with a Ti leaf ribbon. And if you’re planning an intimate dinner for two, it’s an excellent centerpiece to help set the mood.
A Gift So Romantic, You’ll “Bear-ly” Believe It
One way to get big bear hugs this Valentine’s is with a big bear. Big Bear for Romance is over two feet tall—from head to paw—and comes “bear-ing” a dozen gorgeous red roses. This giant plush teddy will give her the warm fuzzies and remind her that the best things don’t always come in small packages.
For over 40 years, 1-800-Flowers has helped make Valentine’s a success, with gorgeous bouquets, decadent chocolates, cuddly teddy bears, romantic keepsakes…pretty much everything you need to make it a day she’ll never forget.
