December is already in full swing and we’re having so much fun sharing our favorite holiday entertaining, gift, and activity ideas. One thing we love is to send a nice bouquet of flowers to add some holiday cheer to a loved one’s home. It’s great for your favorite hostess, to send to the grandparents from the kids, or just to someone you know that would appreciate a beautiful bouquet that
