I want flowers for Valentine’s Day.

I don’t need a car wrapped in a big red bow (Speaking of which, a while back, when two super famous reality stars were gifted cars by their significant others, it turned out the vehicles were either leased or purchased by the person on the receiving end. In other words, #DontBelieveTheHype.), an ultra exclusive Miami condo on the beach, a glossy Conde Nast cover featuring my hubbie & me, or a face tattoo (Apparently those are a thing right now! And I wouldn’t want to be Cindy Crawford this week, that’s all I’m saying).

But flowers, pretty flowers, my friends, are CLASSIC .

If you feel the same, and suspect that maybe your beloved dropped the ball this year and did not order any blooms in advance, here are three local places (drop that HINT) that could perhaps save the day.

  1. Jephry Floral Studio in PVD: The anecdote that best illustrates the magic of Jephry has to do with one of my nieces walking into his space on Broadway in Providence, in search of a floral arrangement for my mom (no particular holiday or reason, just because).  She walked out with an absolutely gorgeous bunch of flowers that he had put together only a few minutes prior. My mom adored them, and they lasted for quite a long while. And I bet he could work that same magic for VDay.

  2. Flowers By Santilli in Cranston: I did a lot of my Christmas shopping here. They had these great box trees with ornaments and everything which made an outstanding gift for so many of the peeps on my list. The service has also always been top shelf too, which leads me to believe that they could very well whip something special up last minute and stem any potential Saint Valentine’s Day drama.

  3. Whole Foods RI: Last but not least, WFM is once again running an incredible Valentine’s deal on their roses (any color too, so get those yellow roses for your besties or pink ones for your mom for all that she does for you) for Amazon Prime members, a double dozen for a surprisingly low $19.99. It kicked off on the 6th and goes until today (that’s 02-14-2020), so your significant other may want to motor over to their Providence or Cranston locations.
