SHOP VALENTINE'S DAY FLOWERS NOW

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and Gillespie Florists is here to help you make this day truly unforgettable. However, if there’s one piece of advice we can give, it’s this: shop early for your Valentine's Day flowers and gifts. Here’s why planning ahead is the secret to a stress-free, love-filled celebration.

Why Shopping Early for Valentine's Day is the Key to a Stress-Free Celebration

1. Ensure You Get Your First Choice 

Valentine's Day is one of the busiest times of the year for florists. Popular flowers and arrangements can sell out quickly. By shopping early, you’ll get the best selection of fresh, stunning flowers. Whether you're planning to surprise your sweetheart with a classic bouquet of long-stemmed roses or a custom arrangement of their favorite flowers, shopping early ensures you get exactly what you want.

2. Lock in Your Preferred Delivery Time

Timing is everything on Valentine’s Day! Our delivery schedule fills up fast, so placing your order early means you can secure the time or day that works best for you. Whether you want flowers delivered to the workplace for a mid-day surprise or to the home for an intimate evening celebration, planning ahead ensures your flowers arrive on time and in perfect condition.

3. Avoid the Last-Minute Rush

We’ve all been there: waiting until the last minute to find the perfect gift, only to end up feeling stressed and overwhelmed. By shopping early, you can skip the Valentine’s Day chaos and enjoy the process of selecting a meaningful gift. Plus, it gives you peace of mind knowing everything is taken care of.

4. Surprise Them with Something Truly Special

Shopping early allows you to explore unique options and personalize your gift. At Gillespie Florists, we offer custom floral arrangements, gift bundles, and add-ons like chocolates, candles, balloons, and stuffed animals. 

5. Show Them How Much You Care

Planning ahead shows thoughtfulness and care—two things that mean the world on Valentine’s Day. By ordering your flowers early, you’re demonstrating that this special day is a priority for you and that you’ve put time and effort into making it memorable.

Let Us Help You Spread the Love

At Gillespie Florists, we’re passionate about helping you celebrate love in all its forms. Whether you’re shopping for a partner, family member, or friend, our team is here to guide you every step of the way. Visit us in-store or online to explore our Valentine’s Day collection and place your order today.
