I used to be just like every other guy out there when it came to sending Valentine’s Day flowers to my sweetheart. I’d put it off and put it off, till finally at the last minute I’d find myself rushing to our local floral shop only to find that the pickings were slim and the prices sky high. Well, no more!

The Internet has transformed our collective shopping experience to a degree that our grandparents could never have imagined. These days we can purchase most anything we need or want with just a few clicks of the mouse, and often pay a lower price than we would have to pay at the store just down the street. And in my opinion one of the best things to shop for online is flowers!

For the last few years I’ve managed to avoid that frustrating last minute Valentine’s Day rush. Now I simply hit the web during my work break and browse the wonderful selection of roses and flower arrangements that are always offered by a plethora of online florists, choose the one I want to send, quickly and easily make the purchase and get back to work. The entire process takes just a few minutes and I there are no crowds to fight or disappointment in the selection. Best of all, there is no sticker shock because the prices of flowers online tend to be way less than those you’ll find at brick and mortar flower shops.
