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.

The 4th of July is a time for celebration, filled with barbecues, fireworks, and festive gatherings. While it’s a fun and exciting day for us, it can be a stressful and even dangerous time for our furry friends. At Gilespie Florists, we care about all members of your family, including your beloved pets. Here are some tips and tricks to ensure your pets have a safe and enjoyable Independence Day!

🐾 4th of July Pet Safety Tips

1. Keep Pets Indoors: Fireworks can be terrifying for animals. The loud noises and bright flashes can cause anxiety and fear. Keep your pets indoors in a safe, quiet room where they feel comfortable. Close windows and curtains to muffle the sound of fireworks and play some calming music to help soothe them.

2. Update Identification: Make sure your pet’s ID tags and microchip information are up-to-date. In case your pet gets scared and runs off, proper identification will help reunite you more quickly.

3. Avoid Human Food: Barbecues are a staple of 4th of July celebrations, but many human foods can be harmful to pets. Keep alcoholic beverages, chocolate, grapes, onions, and any food with bones out of their reach. Stick to pet-safe treats to include them in the festivities.

4. Create a Safe Space: Set up a comfortable area for your pet with their favorite bed, toys, and blankets. This can be their refuge if they feel stressed or scared. You might also consider using a crate if that’s their safe space.

5. Exercise Beforehand: Take your dog for a long walk or engage in a good play session before the festivities begin. A tired pet is a relaxed pet, and they’ll be more likely to rest during the evening’s activities.

6. Avoid Fireworks and Sparklers: Never use fireworks or sparklers around pets. Even unused fireworks can contain toxic substances, and lit fireworks can cause severe injuries. It’s best to keep them far away from these dangers.

🎉 Pet-Friendly Celebration Ideas

Want to include your pets in the celebration? Here are some fun and safe ways to do so:

1. Pet-Friendly BBQ Treats: Make some special pet-safe treats. There are plenty of recipes online for dog-friendly “pupsicles” or cat-friendly snacks. Your pet will love being included in the holiday feast!

2. Patriotic Pet Accessories: Dress your pet in some festive, comfortable 4th of July gear. Think bandanas, collars, or lightweight t-shirts. Make sure they’re comfortable and not too tight or hot.

3. Quiet Time Activities: While you’re enjoying the festivities, give your pets something to keep them occupied. Puzzle toys, chew toys, and interactive feeders can provide a fun distraction.

🐶 Products for a Calm and Happy Pet

Check out these products to help your pets stay calm during the fireworks:

• Calming Treats and Supplements: Look for natural calming treats that can help reduce anxiety.
• Comfortable Pet Beds: A cozy bed can provide a safe retreat for your pet.
• Interactive Toys: Keep your pet occupied and distracted from the noise with engaging toys.
• Thundershirts: These snug-fitting garments can help alleviate anxiety by applying gentle pressure.

The 4th of July is a wonderful time to celebrate with friends and family, and that includes our pets. By taking a few precautions and planning ahead, you can ensure that your furry friends stay safe and happy during the festivities.
