The most romantic day of the year is just around the corner. Valentine’s day is traditionally an excuse to shower your sweetheart with tokens of your affection, and a surprise flower delivery is still the gold standard. These days you can choose the perfect bouquet for your beloved without even leaving your home. Shopper Discounts and Rewards takes a look at the leading online florists and breaks down your best choices for value this Valentine’s.
going for the grand gesture?
Teleflorist, which also operates under the name eFlorist, also has about 1800 member florists in the UK and Ireland. The offered selection is much smaller than Interflora, but members argue that this translates to a better design focus and consistency among florists. Add-ons are not available. The Teleflorist site doesn’t list delivery cut-offs for Valentine’s day, but a representative says that same-day Valentine’s orders should be placed by 11am. Standard delivery in the Republic of Ireland is €7.95. Same-day delivery is €9.94
Single red rose: €27.95
Teleflorist offers two options at this price. One is a boxed single rose with a red heart pick, while the other includes a black bud vase. Both come with greenery.
Standard dozen red roses: €58.50
A hand-tied bouquet of medium-stemmed roses. This seems to be a more compact design, without baby’s breath, framed with greenery.
Ultimate love: €259.95
The description for this giant hand-tied bunch of red roses doesn’t specify 100 blooms, but the photo appears very similar to the largest Interflora bouquet and appears to show more than 50 roses. The price is significantly lower, so if you’re looking for the wow-factor this Valentine’s day, it might be worth investigating.
Whatever you decide to do this Valentine’s day, sorting out the flowers early can take away the stress and uncertainty that sometimes goes along with the holiday. Have you had experience ordering Valentine’s day flowers online? Shopper Discounts and Rewards would love to hear about it!
