ProFlowers For Mother’s Day? Yes Please!!! (Giveaway Too)

Give me a bunch of flowers and I will be one happy soul! Seriously, give them all to me! I love a vase of flowers sitting pretty on my countertop and I love it when my kids bring me dandelions from outside. As a matter-of-fact, I have a bunch of dandelions on my window sill in my kitchen right now! How on earth could I throw them away??

Flowers for Mother’s Day I am sure, I will get. And heck, I better!! Hubby knows that flowers make me happy, they just really boost a mood, don’t they?!

ProFlowers has some pretty nice floral bouquets for mom and other really cool gift ideas for mom on her special day!

I was able to get a something super yummy and it was soooo good! It was such a HARD choice to choose something, but I finally did. I had to have those delicious Full Dozen Gourmet Dipped Berries! OMG Yum!!!!

It was so funny, because I opened them up and ran to get the camera, when I came back, this is what I saw…

Yep, a couple berries were missing, but who on earth could have done this???!?

Then I saw this..

He is QUICK, LOL!!! I did not get a picture of my daughter, but she had grabbed one too! Too cute :)

Needless to say, these delicious chocolate covered berries did not last but a mere 10 minutes at our house. We did of course have mother-in-law over and my hubs was home too!

These are seriously the hugest strawberries I have ever seen! They are juicy, sweet and just plain delish! I was very pleased with them as was everyone else who devoured them!

I know, I know, at the beginning of this post I said I absolutely LOVE flowers and would like them for Mother’s Day, but once I laid eyes on those berries it was all over ;)  Chocolate gifts for mom? Yes please!!

They create their soaps using organic oils, real botanical extras and pure essential oils. No perfumes, dyes, sls, foam boosters or parabens. Each one is unique and makes a great gift to keep or give (I prefer keeping ;) ).

I got to sample her work, first hand! Woohoo! I received a gorgeous little packaged filled to the brim with some delicious and yummy bath products to use! Inside this adorable package, I found the following…

Tub of Bitty Blossom Scrubs

Womens Shave Soap

Valentine Soap

BUFF Hemp Lip Balm

Heavens, I am so happy with all of these wonderful bath goodies! My kids love using them too and since they are natural and handmade, I feel great letting my kids use them on their delicate skin. It is very hard to find good products to use on my kids skin since it is so dang sensitive, but these products are great!

When I opened the package that I received, I smelled a delicious scent of pink grapefruit fill my room! Smells so good and just like a fresh, cut grapefruit is sitting next to me on my counter! Yummy I tell you :)

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO

Shelly Robertson #325!!

Who doesn’t enjoy nibbling on a piece of chocolate? I certainly like to nibble on it at times. I know my kids certainly do too! Especially if it is really really good chocolate like Guylian Belgian ;)

The package I received was simply delicious! I am on a diet, so I was not indulging too much, but my kids and hubby certainly polished it off! With Valentines Day approaching super quickly (wasn’t it JUST Christmas??!), I thought I would introduce you to this delicious chocolate, in case you want to encourage your significant other to purchase you some!

The Guylian Artisanal Belgian Chocolates are certainly a sweet treat for those awaiting taste buds! They are luxuriously creamy, rich and just plain good! These truffles are artfully crafted with the finest white milk, and dark Belgian chocolate and filled with the guylian signature truffle. It is really a yummy experience for your mouth.

I enjoyed a few of these truffles before they disappeared. I had some with a glass of wine, it was exceptional, let me tell you! Talk about a much-needed “Me time“!

I also received the Guylian Belgian Milk Chocolate No Sugar Added Bar and the Dark Chocolate No Sugar Added Bar, which were really good and creamy tasting!

Oh man I just love everything I received! So cute and made with such quality! The adorable Santa Advent Calender is something I can use for years to come. It is a tall santa that hangs on your wall. He has 25 pockets and a candy cane with a string on it. Your child can take the candy cane and put it in the pocket that has the numbered day on it. So cute, festive and my kids really love it as do I! He looks great on my wall, see below!

Isn’t he cute?! Love him :) The beautiful Shaped Wooden Words are just gorgeous and festive too! I did not put them together, but I spread them throughout my home instead! They are so nicely done, no dings or anything and they are now gracing my walls!! See them below!

I added sparkly snowflakes around it!! Too cute, huh?!

The holiday table cloth is so cute and very festive! Perfect for those holiday meals. I gave this to my mom, who is using it at our Christmas dinner.  She absolutely loves it and thinks it is the perfect addition to any meal!

Christmas Gift Basket Classic Review!

Giving and receiving gift baskets for any occasion is always a treat! I love how they are packed full of all things yummy and good. One I recently received was the delicious Christmas Gift Basket Classic, LOVED it!!

Everything came perfectly packaged and nothing was broken or messed up. Inside this yummy basket was delicious treats for the whole family.

This is one of Gourmet Gift Baskets more popular baskets and I can see why! It has so much in it and all of it is sure to please anyone! The pretzels and dip were my absolute favorite in this basket. My husband gobbled up the delicious almond pecand-y crunch and my kids ate the little cookies :)

Everything was fresh tasting and not stale, like some gift baskets. I was overall very impressed with this gift basket.

What Is Inside This Gift Basket??

Almond Pecan-dy Crunch by Morley Candy Makers – 9.25 oz. – This ultra-luxurious candy crunch is made by covering gourmet popcorn and pecans in a rich, smooth caramel glaze.
· Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies by J&M Foods – 6 oz. – Made with only the finest of natural ingredients, these cookies will satisfy even the most discerning chocoholic.
· Dipping Pretzels by East Shore Specialty Foods – 6 oz. – These extraordinary pretzels are the perfect unsalted snack!
· Robert Rothschild Farm Raspberry Honey Mustard Pretzel Dip – 7.8 oz. – This gourmet raspberry honey mustard dip adds a flavorful zing to pretzels, and goes especially well with the East Shore Specialty Foods Dipping Pretzels that we have included in our Gift Baskets for Christmas.
· Salted Peanuts in Box by Feridie’s – 7 oz. – Only the finest peanuts, flavored with salt, these gourmet snacks are just as Mother Nature intended.
· Signature Dark Chocolate Bar by Lake Champlain – 3 oz. – This decadent and complex dark chocolate bar will satisfy the cravings of even the most discerning chocolate lover.
· Buttered Peanut Crunch by Old Dominion Peanut Company – 10 oz. – This flavorful peanut crunch is made with only top of the line gourmet peanuts, brown sugar, and “AA” grade butter. Taste them and you will understand that the best ingredients create the best peanut crunch!
· Metropolitan Trail Mix by GourmetGiftBaskets.com – 4 oz. – Our proprietary blend of nuts and dried fruit is a delicious and surprisingly healthy snack.
· Parmesan Artichoke & Garlic Cheese Biscuits by Salem Baking Company – 1.5 oz. – These crumbly biscuits will melt in your mouth leaving a trail of flavor to be savored.
· Chocolate Covered Cherries by Marich – 2.3 oz. – These indulgent gourmet chocolate covered cherries are one of the favorite snacks in our line of Holiday Gift Baskets.

I also want to say that I LOVE the basket it came in. I use it now on my counter for my breads!! Too nice not to use for something!
