{CLOSED}

Welcome to our Step into Summer event! Melissa and I have some wonderful things lined up for you to help you get ready for summer. Make sure you visit Melissa at Outnumbered 3 to 1 daily to see what she has in store for you too. Many days we will be reviewing and giving away the same item on both blogs – that is two chances for you to win!

For more than 30 years, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM Inc. has been providing customers around the world with the freshest flowers and finest selection of plants, gift baskets, gourmet foods, confections and plush stuffed animals perfect for every occasion. 1-800-FLOWERS.COM® offers the best of both worlds: exquisite, florist-designed arrangements individually created by some of the world’s top floral artists and hand-delivered the same day, and spectacular flowers shipped overnight “Fresh From Our Growers”.

When they say fresh, they really mean it. I have received flowers from 1800 Flowers before and was astonished at how long they lasted. I was able to enjoy my flowers for several weeks – they remained absolutely gorgeous!  It’s no wonder why – check out this video:

For the Step into Summer event, I choose cookies {again}. I just couldn’t help myself – Cheryl and Co. cookies are so yummy! 1800 Flowers has much, much more than just flowers. They have plants, and a huge variety of gift baskets sure to please anyone. I chose the Cheryl & Co. Dessert Temptations Bakery Box. Need I say more? Well, okay, since it is me I just have to say more.

This boxful of fresh-baked sweets and chocolates is a tempting taste of the finest from Cheryl&Co®, including tasty Oatmeal Raisin cookies, Chocolate Chocolate Chip cookies, Sugar cookies, Fudge brownies, Blondie brownies and milk chocolate stars and much more! Kosher.

Cheryl & Co.® cookies are baked fresh daily
Frosted by hand
Individually wrapped for freshness
Arrives wrapped with an elegant white ribbon

It arrived beautifully packaged, as always. It arrived in a brown gift box with a white ribbon. What I saw inside made my stomach jump for joy:

The cookies were heavenly – and really fresh.  I enjoyed each and every one of them.  I don’t mean that I ate the whole box myself, though it was tempting –  I did share, but I made sure I tried each type.  The Chocolate Chip Brownie bites were to die for, and the iced cookies were fresh and full of flavor.  There were so many cookie varieties in this assortment, it would take me forever to tell you about each one, so please believe me when I say they were amazing!

1800 Flowers is a great place to keep in mind if you are looking for the perfect birthday flowers, or gifts for special occasions, parties, or just for yourself as a pick-me-up.  Who wouldn’t want to receive something like this:
