Fresh Sends radically simplifies buying flowers—though control freaks may break out in hives upon hearing it. Rather than scroll dozens of arrangements, you’re presented with one option, known as The Send, in three sizes: Mini, which contains 10 blooms; Regular, which contains 15 to 18; and Full, which amounts to 24 to 27. The exact array of flowers changes regularly, based on what’s in season and available, and you won’t truly know what your recipient will get until it arrives. But that doesn’t mean they’ll get a bunch of carnations and baby’s breath—you can view previous arrangements on the brand’s Instagram, and in our deliveries, editors were blown away by the lush arrangement of roses, chrysanthemums, and berries. The arrangement lasted about five days before it started to wilt slightly.
This Valentine's Day, the flower company has partnered with brands like Graza, Compartés and Partners Coffee to offer special pairings for a more thoughtful touch. (As a cold brew fanatic, I'm partial to The Valentine's Day Coffee Send, $146.)
Fresh Sends also scores bonus points for having some of the most fun packaging—you can choose one of four cards to include with your bouquet, which comes wrapped in faux-newspaper within a colorful, charming box. (For an extra $3, you can record and send a video message for your giftee, too.)
