Sweeties Happy Easter Giveaway – And the winner is….

If you are familiar with Red Envelope and ProFlowers.com you will love their new online store called, the Happy Easter Store. At the Happy Easter Store you will find all kinds of Easter merchandise like Easter baskets, gifts for kids, candy and chocolate, flowers, Easter Plants, and various other Easter gifts.

Remember, Easter is April 26th this year. When you order plants and flowers from the Happy Easter Store they are actually shipped from ProFlowers.com. Check out the great deals ProFlowers is offering right now, many with free shipping.

I was asked to review this new store and was given the opportunity to pick a product to review as well. It took me awhile because there are so many nice things but I find settled on the Potted Fragrant Gardenia plant. Although I love flowers and candy, and the gifts are wonderful, I wanted something I could keep for a long time and the Gardenia plant was the breath of Spring I needed after this long, cold, New England winter.

After I placed my order I just had to wait 2 days for it to arrive – and in perfect condition, healthy and with bright green leaves. One bud was open and the other 9 were still closed.

It is very important that you read the description of the item you want to buy so you know exactly what you are buying. Each item on the Happy Easter Store website has a detailed description. I knew that the Gardenia would not come as shown with the flowers blooming because in the corner of the picture it read,  Arrives in Bud Form. The Gardenia had one flower partially blooming and 9 other buds. I was actually happy about this because now I can watch as they bloom. If you want your flowers and plants to be blooming then just make sure you find one that says they come that way.

Some items on the Happy Easter Store can be personalized with someone’s name so make sure you allow extra time if you purchase one of those items. And, some items even offer free shipping or a free vase with purchase.

Watch my unwrapping video to see exactly what I purchased and how it arrived.
