While the gesture of giving flowers or food gifts goes back to the beginnings of recorded courtship, it was not always easy to gather together a bouquet or send gift baskets. People had to grow their own flowers in a garden or pick whatever wildflowers were nearby. Later, florists and farmer’s markets made it easier; however, still the choice was still limited to local flowers which were in season. It was nearly impossible for the common person to give flowers as a gift to anyone who did not reside in their area. There also were not modern methods of preservation and shipping for specialty cheeses, desserts, and delicacies. A sign of great wealth in early nineteenth century was the ability to have flowers and foods shipped in from other parts of the country for society events and to consume wine from other countries.
Today, thanks to 1800flowers, it’s no longer necessary to go through such extremes. They ship beautiful flower arrangements and specialty gifts to people throughout the United States for all occasions. 1800flowers gift baskets are filled with wines and an assortment of delicious gourmet foods, fresh fruit, or sweet chocolates. Everyone is thrilled to receive a present by mail, especially those which are not expected.

Gift baskets are especially good presents when sending to a family, as there’s often something for everyone. People love the beauty of a bouquet and enjoy the delicious contents of a gift basket, while appreciating the thoughtfulness of the sender.
