Though many of our texts are silly and hilarious, the text stream is also filled with a lot of “real life” moments when one of us is facing something challenging. The group always rallies and sends lots of support their way and one of the things we like to do is send care packages, flowers or other small gifts to someone who needs a little extra love.
Flowers are obviously a go-to because they’re beautiful and tend to make everyone smile. My friend Cherayne turned our group onto flowers from The Bouqs Company a while ago and they’ve been our go-to flower delivery service ever since, thanks to their affordability and absolutely gorgeous assortment of flowers.
(Tip: We love the Venmo app for reimbursing each other for stuff like this! It makes paying friends back SUPER easy!)
When I received and email from Bouqs.com, I knew immediately I wanted to share a little bit about them with you guys, especially with Valentine’s Day right around the corner. (FYI, Bouqs.com offers a dozen roses for Valentine’s Day for $40. A total steal if you’re looking for roses on February 14.)
What attracted me to The Bouqs Company and what has kept me and my friends returning to the site time and time again is the price (everything is very affordable, there’s no up-selling and shipping is always free) and the bouquets offered vary from beautiful traditional bouquets to more original, whimsical bouquets with more of a farmer’s market bouquet feel.
The Bouqs Company’s flowers are grown on the side of an active volcano in Ecuador, so the additional sunshine and mineral-rich soil makes for more vibrant and beautiful flowers. They’re grown at sustainable, eco-friendly farms that follow strict responsible farming practices and are third-party certified by Veriflora and The Rainforest Alliance.
The bouquets you see on Bouqs.com are hand-crafted, custom designs by local artisan florists. Flowers are cut the day you order them and shipped directly to your door the next day so you receive them quickly and they last longer than most other flowers.
The flowers come in a box and do not include a vase which I personally prefer since we have a million vases already and I don’t need any more!
I ordered a bouquet of their “Farmer’s Choice” flowers the day before my father-in-law came in town to brighten up our house and we loved them. The roses came slightly closed and opened up beautifully the following day.
Such gorgeous colors!
In addition to displaying the flowers in our kitchen, I snipped off two of the vibrant yellow roses to put in a small vase to brighten up our downstairs bathroom as well.
My mom always does this with her flowers and I love the look of fresh flowers throughout the house!
I sent another bouquet, “The Best Around” bouquet, to my friend Michaela in Denver as thank you for hosting me and Chase last weekend and scheduled it to arrive the day of my visit.
The deluxe bouquet delivered enough flowers for two full vases and looked stunning! They were beautiful and Michaela seemed happy and surprised to receive the gorgeous flowers during my stay.

I love the ‘Wild About U’ arrangement. It’s unique and something unexpected! I would send these to my grandma who is feeling under the weather. Since we live across the country, and she lives in the land of snow and cold, I’d love to brighten her day!
The farmers choice is beautiful! Sending these to my dad might seem corny, but he never has fresh flowers and totally deserves a random gift.
I would love to send the love dove bouquet to my friend who just found out she is expecting! It would be the perfect gift!
I love the Be Mine arrangement! I would love to send it to my mom.
What gorgeous colours! I think it’s lovely that you all send flowers as pick-me-ups – that’s very sweet, and I love your mum’s idea of having fresh flowers throughout the house.
I think the Encore bouquet is so festive and cheery! I would definitely send it to my mom! She sends me flowers every year and I’d love to in return 🙂
I love the look of the Glow bouquet! I would send it to my best friend, who lives a few states away from me and shares a birthday with Valentine’s Day!
I love the forget me not bouquet! I would love to send it to a friend who is hosting me in a few weeks 🙂
I love so many of their bouquets… Anything that has some unique flowers is just wonderful but I’d probably order the Flirty bouquet for my mom, to time it for when she finishes radiation next week. So proud of her!
I would send the “Glow” to my beautiful Mom “Beebsie” in florida just to say “Love and miss you”
I love the Bouqs and have sent multiple arrangements with much success! My favorite is Marvelous, it has my favorite color (purple) and I love how the sunflowers are mixed in. As for which one to send I like Be True to send to a friend who is going through a hard time.
I love the Abracadabra bouquet – the soft and bright pink together look absolutely beautiful! I recently tore my ACL this past week and my mother has been nothing but supportive during the whole process. She deserves so much more than a bouquet of flowers, but I think this would be a wonderful gift to repay her for the wonderful care and support she has given me this past week.
I’m loving the Wild About U bouquet! It’s gorgeous and I think my mom would love it for Valentine’s Day 🙂
I would send the Be Mine to my mom!
Be mine is gorgeous, but they are hard to choose! I would send them to my sister in law who is due any day with our nephew!
It was really hard to pick my favorite – I love flowers so much!! The Cake n’ Cream is beautiful!! I would probably send them to myself. 😀
I would send the “all the rage” bouquet to my mom! We both love tulips! She watches my twin 1 year old boys and will be watching my third boy in June so this would be a nice token of our appreciation!
I would choose “Confetti” for my grandma. Her birthday is on Valentine’s Day!
So SO hard to pick just one bouquet but I DO love tulips so the bouquet of ALL THE RAGE hit me . My husband would be the one receiving these because then I could share in their beauty.
I love, love, love the champagne bouquet! I recently got married and we had calilies, so this reminds me of our special day!
I can’t decide if I would get Wild About U for me because I’m OBSESSED with succulants for myself or if I would get All the Rage for my aunt who has been so stressed about my Uncle’s recent health scare and Tulips are her favorite!
I would love to send the Hot Lava roses to my Mom as a special surprise! The flowers on this site are amazing, thank you for introducing me to this company!?
The “Glow” ones are so pretty and I’d send them to my grandma!
Love the colors in dawn bouquet! They look just like my sister and her birthday is right after valentines!!
Campfire to my mom to brighten her day as she just started treatment for breast cancer.
Buttercup to my best friend who is stuck in the hospital right now. They’d brighten up her very drab room and give her a much needed smile 🙂
I love them all but Love Dove, Cloud 9, and Virtue are my favorite. Gorgeous!
The Yours Truly boquet for my best friend Marcena!
I love the Just Make It Awesome Roses bouquet. I would send them to my niece who just had a baby girl 2 days ago. Thank you Julie
I totally love the Wild About U’ bouquet – I would send them to my mother-in-law – my husband and I recently moved out of state and I know she’s missing her son :/
I cannot believe how gorgeous some of these bouquets are! Thanks for sharing the site, as I never would have known about it otherwise. The flowers look to completely trump what’s on other sites. “Pucker Up” is my favorite bouquet, and I think I’d send it to my cross country bestie. She’s been so wonderful to me over the past two years, and I think it’d brighten her day!
I love the XOXO bouquet and I’d send them to my best friend!
I would love to send a bouquet to my mom who has been an angel and helping me with my newborn baby!

Oops, forgot to say which bouquet! The Cake n Cream looks beautiful 🙂
I love the Champagne Bouquet. The colors are vibrant; absolutely beautiful. I would surprise my husband with the bouquet. You don’t usually think of sending flowers to men, but he is such a wonderful person and husband. I know he’d enjoy the surprise.
I want to send the Pucker Up or the Be True to my sister for V-Day!
I loved Fairy Tale ending but it would be really hard to decide! They were all gorgeous!
I love the ace bouquet!
The love dove is beautiful!
I would love the Forget Me Not bouquet to my sister-in-law, who graciously watches my son during the day while I work.
Just make it awesome roses or unforgettable and I would send them to my parents as a thank you for all the love they have given me over the years!
I couldn’t choose just one. My 3 favorite were Eye Candy, Peace and Lavendaria de Cali. I would send it to either my friend Lorna, Nicole or Diana. They are the sweetest friends.
Cloud 9 is beautiful!
I think either Yours Truly or Wild About U, although it is so hard to choose! I would send them to my aunt and her wife who are taking care of my Grandma, who had a stroke after having a mitral valve repair surgery. It’s been tough for them, and they could really use the encouragement.
I would definitely send flowers to my mom since she’s been stressed lately, and maybe some to myself because I just got a promotion at work ????
I would send the “Charmed, I’m Sure” flowers to my mom! Her birthday is on the 23rd and she loves purple 🙂
I like the Love Dove, especially because I want to send it to my brother and his new fiancee to help them celebrate their first valentines day as an engaged couple!
They’re all gorgeous but I especially love the Wild About U bouquet! I would definitely be sending them to myself, I need something to get me through the winter doldrums!
I love the confetti bouq! I’ve gotten flowers before from them and they are great. I would love to send them to myself as a special gift since I work from home. 🙂
I seriously love all of them but fairytale ending is a beautiful bouquet! I would send it to my mom because she is an incredible, selfless woman who totally deserves it!
I really like the Infinity bouquet! I would use it at my wedding!
