ProFlowers Birthday Gift Baskets for Every Budget

Most of our family still lives over 1500 miles away. When we lived back home, we would get together for a huge bar-b-que at my aunts house to celebrate the 8 people who's birthdays are in the month of July. We would all bring a dish and celebrate, and even as the family dwindled, the memories of this get together is still a fond one.

When ProFlowers asked if I would be willing to review one of their Birthday Gift Baskets, I jumped at the opportunity. I've ordered flowers from ProFlowers before, but I had no experience with their gift baskets.

I selected the Cherry Moon Farms Favorites as my complimentary gift box. Filled with fruit and nuts, and (my personal favorite) Jelly Belly jelly beans. Made specifically to satisfy both sweet and salty tastebuds, this gift box comes loaded with fresh fruit and three sealed packages of treats.

With the unexpected trip to the hospital this week, the arrival of this gift box came in perfect time. When I got back home on Thursday, the box waited for me outside. I was worried because it said "perishable", but the fruit arrived safe and sound. So far, everything that we have tried has been delicious. The jelly beans were gone before I could blink, and the pistachios are being nibbled on as I type this review. My husband loved the cinnamon toffee almonds, and the kids loved the softball sized apples. We can't wait to have the oranges and pears.

The Cherry Moon Farms Favorites box was marked as a best seller, and I can see why. At a price point of about $30 (on sale), it really does have something for everyone.

ProFlowers Birthday Gift baskets range from about $29.99-$99.99, and if a one time gift is not your style, you can take advantage of their Harvest Select Fruit Club. Choose 3, 6 or 12 month plans which ship the freshest fruits at the peak of their season straight to you or your loved ones door.

So the next time you wonder what you're going to get for your special someone, take a look at the assortment of Birthday Gifts on ProFlowers.com.

Special thanks to our new friends at ProFlowers for allowing us to review this complimentary gift box.

In the product description it claims, "It’s simply the best chocolate covered strawberry experience they’ll ever have."

I am a huge fan of chocolate covered strawberries, but I must say, I agree completely. The strawberries themselves were huge and perfectly ripened, and the chocolate was so creamy and indulgent.

It mentions on the insert that this product is meant to be consumed immediately, so be sure that the recipient will be where they are delivered, and plan the night accordingly. If your Valentine is a romantic who loves champagne and strawberries, this is a must have for your Sweetheart.

Give a 1-800-Baskets Gift Basket this Holiday Season Review + Giveaway!

Most of our family still lives up north, over 1500 miles away, so going home for the holidays is nearly impossible for us.

Every year we search for the perfect presents to send to our relatives, and struggle to find something that everyone will enjoy.

While working with 1-800-FLOWERS, I was informed about the beautiful collection of gift baskets at 1-800-Baskets.

Our family had the opportunity to review the Festive Holiday Basket from 1-800-Baskets. It arrived filled with treats like crisp flatbread crackers, mint cookies, citrus spice appetizer spread, Fannie May Peppermint Bark, Ferrero Rocher Gold-Wrapped Chocolates, caramel medallions, almond French Twists, Smoky Mozzarella Mini Baguettes, Chocolate Starlight Mints, and Old English Toffee. The metal collectible sleigh can be used year after year to bring holiday cheer.

Often times you order stuff from online or a catalog, and hope and pray that the person that receives it is pleased with the size or the quality of the products. The measurements of the gift baskets are in the description, but seeing it in real life is a completely different experience.

The Festive Holiday Basket I received was much larger than I had thought. In fact, it literally took my breath away when I unwrapped it. I've received gift baskets and fruit arrangements in the mail from other companies during the holidays, but nothing I've ever received compared to this holiday assortment.

Want it?
Visit 1-800-Baskets to find the perfect gift for the person on your list that already has everything. Plus, if you order now, your order will upgraded to expedited shipping to ensure Guaranteed Christmas Delivery. See details here.

WIN IT!

This giveaway is open to residents of the US and will end on December 22th, at 11:59pm EST. One winner will be chosen at random using Random.org. Disclosure: The product above was provided to me, at no cost, by 1-800-BASKETS (a 1-800-FLOWERS entity) so that I could review it. I did not accept monetary compensation for reviewing or writing about this experience, and all opinions expressed are my own.

WINNER!
