1800Flowers Named for Having Honest Pricing Policies

Valentines Day is just around the corner, and everybody is looking for flowers and the perfect gift. With many people on a strict budget, a lot of price comparison must be made to decide where the most affordable place it to purchase flowers this Valentines Day season. 

Recently, MSN did some research and compared online flower companies with their flower prices. 1800Flowers.com was singled out amongst other online leading flower companies such as FTD and ProFlowers for having greater pricing transparency and more honest pricing polices. 

Proflowers measured out at $35.28 for roses while FTD priced theirs at $38.49. 

1800Flowers wins with the lowest price for roses at $34.99. 

Also for Valentines Day, 1800Flowers.com is offering Twilight Valentines Day Flowers for those who are ga-ga over the Twilight and New Moon series. 

So if you happen to be looking for more honest prices, and need an affordable gift, 1800 Flowers could offer you that special something without breaking the bank or putting a hole in your wallet this Valentines Day---or any other occasion... 

Ever Considered Ebook Publishing?

If you are a writer or have self published a book or two--or three--or more.... You may have thought about E-book publishing. With the advancement of media readers and the latest -Amazon's Kindle-you might be convinced to create digital copies of your recent editions as well. 

While many of us still hope that one day books don't become obsolete, us authors do enjoy having that extra market to cater too as well. -Perhaps maybe even more sales--we hope.

Recently, I wrote about some free and affordable ways that you can publish your recent copies into E-books. These are especially useful if you are on a budget, or you are a self published author who is responsible for your own marketing.

Valentines Day and a Hope for Spring

Valentines Day is just around the corner, and there have been plenty of ads about giving your sweetie flowers and candy. Flowers and roses are one of the most popular gifts that many give on the popular (yet somewhat) commercial holiday. Roses and assorted flowers are both very beautiful and thoughtful gifts to receive, but sometimes their pretty color and splash of life, just don't seem to last long enough...

--which leads me to my next topic...

During the months of spring, flowers can last much longer than just a week at a time. Although, currently snow seems to be sleeping and resting upon the once luscious green lands of the Midwest, and its almost impossible to grow anything too beautiful in the cold icy ground. So while we wait for spring's much awaited arrival, the loving celebration of Valentines Day and the gift of flowers (while life-span is short) will just have to do for the time being.... until some longer lasting flowers can find a new home in our yards at home.
