Sending surprises with One Hour Florist [Sponsored]

Are you the super forgetful type of person who never seems to be able to remember important dates? 

Or just a very spontaneous (and perhaps, impatient too?) person who likes to throw out surprises as and when the idea hits you? 

Now you can simply send out beautiful surprises to your loved ones in the comfort of your home, with just a few clicks of your mouse, thanks to One Hour Florist. 

Aptly named as One Hour Florist, we can be assured with guaranteed 1-hour delivery to any address in Singapore, that is free on all orders. No hassle of having to hit a minimum order! 

With supply and access to the freshest flowers in Singapore, One Hour Florist flies in flowers on a daily basis and have a strict policy to discard mediocre flowers. Their streamlined process allows all of their flowers to be affordable and delivered efficiently. Being the ONLY one florist in Singapore that offers a one-hour delivery service, they take full pride in what they believe in and even offers a full refund for all late orders! 

Currently offering 4 different floral arrangements (ranging from $45 to $199) with add-ons for balloons (from $10.90) or teddy bears (from $13.00). 

And it's not just the standard bears, but you can find Caticorn and Lamacorn too! How cute is that!

The Premium Surprise Bloom Box - $45

Premium juicy and fresh main flowers (in the form of 6 roses, 6 carnations, 3 sunflowers, 3 lilies, 5 gerberas or 5 tulips) are carefully picked in this arrangement to pair with other assorted fillers and greens. 

And for a more bespoke factor, One Hour Florist will also gather a few more information (recipient's age, relationship to sender, occasion etc) for each of their orders. 

I personally feel that the bloom box is a superb idea. It's so easy to display as it is, with no hassle of having to find a special spot in the house that allows the flower bouquet to stand, or needing to move the entire bouquet into a vase.

Bloom Studio - Preserved Flower Domes [Sponsored]

And I got bloomed... domed....(??), thanks to this beautiful preserved flower dome from Bloom Studio!

Bloom Studio is made up of a humble, small team of florists from Korea with big hearts. As an effort to minimise floriculture carbon footprint, Bloom Studio offers preserved flowers as an alternative to fresh ones. Preserved flowers, not to be confused with dried flowers, are 100% real flowers that have undergone preservation techniques to maintain its freshness, suppleness and shape. This non-corrosive, toxic-free, non-carcinogenic and non-chemical reactive process is definitely eco-friendly and allows the flowers to last from several months to years and it's almost maintenance-free!

Fresh flowers requires refrigeration to keep them fresh and alive in transit. This burns more fuel and thus emits more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Most people also tend to discard the flowers once they start to wither in matter of days or at best, weeks, which is extremely wasteful. All these ultimately contributes to climate change, and Bloom Studio wants to do good for the environment by starting small. After all, no effort is too little and every small change can lead to a great impact.
Preserved flowers are more economical because they require low maintenance; without the need for plant care products and need not be replaced from time to time. Moreover, Bloom Studio's bouquets are also wrapped in environmentally friendly packaging like butcher's paper.

Bloom Studio has very generously sent me Ashlyn, a preserved flower dome with a beautiful combination of sea-foam green and pastel pink roses, along with hydrangea and foliage. 

Two of my favourite colours paired together, and bundled up in a pink ribbon! How cute is that!

And as I've mentioned, Bloom Studio is a team of florists with big hearts, and they're donating 5% of their sales to their partnered local animal shelters. If you are unaware, our local animal shelters are facing challenges from limited space and finances, and are always facing risks of shutting down. So while you're making a purchase at Bloom Studio, you're also contributing to their cause to help our furry friends. 

And with Valentine's Day being just a month away, Bloom Studio has already started their Valentine's Day pre-ordering, which will save you up to 30%!
