The Sweetest Romances Bloom with Gifts from FTD

It’s that time of year when romance is in the air and sweethearts everywhere are inspired to find new and original ways to tell each other, “I love you!” At FTD, we’ve been making Valentine dreams come true for more than 100 years, and for 2014, we offer an exciting array of luxurious gifts that go beyond the expected, and into the exceptional, at a range of prices.

Flowers, and especially roses, are an iconic choice. While red is a familiar favorite, consider surprising your sweetie with roses in the year’s trendiest hues – like lavender, or in a fun and vibrant mix of several bright and beautiful colors.

This year, we’re finding, more and more people are accompanying their bouquets with a sweet treat to create a loving, multi-sensory Valentine experience. Among the top choices are FTD’s new and exclusive collection of Chocolate Dip Delights.  Artisan chocolatiers start with big, ripe, juicy natural fruits and berries, along with scrumptious cakes and cookies, and make them even more delectable with generous hand-dipping in luxurious 100% real, premium chocolate. They’re the perfect gourmet goodie for all your sweeties, whether they’re women, men or children.

Don’t forget to check out the bouquets for which FTD is world famous. You’ll find roses with stems up to 5-feet long, long-stem roses in fun, fresh and colorful mixed bouquets, and arrangements ready to display in exclusive, sparkling, heavy-glass keepsake vases they’ll cherish for years.  And one of the great things about ordering roses from FTD is your assurance that no matter which bouquet you choose, the blossoms will be hand-chosen and meet our strict standards for excellent bloom formation, color and freshness.

Finally, one bit of advice we always share−order early to get the best selection and price. Order your Valentine’s Day gifts now and schedule delivery for Valentine’s Day, or better yet, have your gift delivered early that week (Valentine’s Day is on Friday), so your sweetheart can be the envy of the office from Monday through Friday.

This fall dessert is not only a favorite in my home, but also around my neighborhood. It’s not uncommon for me to make this a couple of times a month and has become a tradition at my October Ladies Bunco night. This classic dump cake is simple to make and is a hit for any event, even Thanksgiving!  No fancy ingredients, or techniques makes this cake super fast to make.
