Orders need to be placed 2 p.m. before your desired delivery date and will get free next-day FedEx delivery, which can only be delivered Tuesday-Fridaysomething to note if you're planning for flowers to be delivered for a specific occasion.</p><p>These quick delivery options make UrbanStems a great last-minute gifting option, but you can also use it to plan gifts far in advance. If you want to send someone flowers for their birthday in a month or order in advance of a big holiday like Valentine's Day, you can order bouquets up to three weeks out from the current date. In fact, we'd suggest this route to minimize shipping delays during the holidays.</p><p>When your recipient receives their flowers, they'll be packaged up in a beautiful box hiding a lovely bouquet and a sweet note from you. It's a thoughtful and easy way to surprise someone special and make them smile. Whether it's for your partner, sister, brother, parent, friend, or coworker, UrbanStems makes a great gift for just about any occasion.</p><h2>Here's what two of our editors have to say about UrbanStem's service:</h2><p><strong>Sally Kaplan, senior editor: </strong>I've ordered and received bouquets from UrbanStems, and both experiences felt seamless and rewarding. Sending bouquets is easy; you just pick which one you want, select a vase (these cost a little extra, just so you know), and write a card to your recipient. Receiving them is even easier; just open the box, follow the instructions to care for your flowers, and, if you're like me, pop the special note that comes with on your refrigerator door with a magnet. If you properly take care of the flowers, they'll last for around a week or so. I got a bouquet with lots of white flowers in it, which tend to age a little faster, so mine lasted about four or five days before they started to wilt and discolor.</p><p><strong>Ellen Hoffman, executive editor: </strong>I was looking for a new flower-delivery service a while back since my go-to, BloomThat, was acquired by FTD Companies and paused its services in September 2018. Sally recommended UrbanStems. I've ordered two bouquets and have found it offers a lot of the same conveniences as BloomThat, for both the person buying the flowers and the recipient. The constantly rotating, seasonal-flower selection is robust, but not overwhelming, and while the prices are on the higher end ($35 is currently the cheapest bouquet price), they're justified by the quality you get. The flowers I've sent were vibrant and fresh, and more unique than what you'll find elsewhere.</p><div></div><figure id="img-194733" contenteditable="false" data-type="img" data-e2e-name="image-figure-image" data-media-container="image"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0764G2NPN/ref=as_li_tl'ie=UTF8&tag=biip_020519_owyn-protein-shake-product-review-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B0764G2NPN&linkId=fcb67d0c5e585e3c19cfd52f760f1adb" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a></figure><p><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/urbanstems-flower-delivery-review#comments">Join the conversation about this story »</a></p>
