As Canada wide florists, we've noticed an interesting trend in the almost 20 years that we've been in business at Simon Says Roses.
It used to be all about Christmas flowers in Canada, with delivery of centrepieces, holiday cut flowers, and poinsettias to places like Toronto, Vancouver, or even tiny Deroche BC (happened yesterday, had to look it up in Google Maps!)
Switch to today, where more & more people opt for food related gifts. Fruit baskets, fruit & chocolate baskets, gourmet food mixes, or even specialty baskets with chocolate, tea, meat & cheese, snack foods, or even all coffees.You name it, we can customize it (and yes, we do diabetic baskets as well).
There's only one small problem in constructing one of these baskets, however.
We don't carry most of these items in stock on a daily basis!
For every basket we make, we become your Personal Shopper as we go shopping for the freshest products possible. This takes time, so that's why we normally ask for 24 hours advance notice to buy the products, build the basket, and deliver it.
And the closer we get to Christmas, the more hectic it gets for florists. Because of the time constraints, we'll often remove baskets from our Canada Xmas catalogue as we get closer to the holiday.
So bottom line...please order early ;)
