Shavuos Flowers
« on: June 10, 2024, 10:29:40 PM »
I know it's last minute... However, I was just asked to arrange this... ::)

I need to send Shavuos flowers as a Yom Tov gift to a Rav.

Have approximately $120 to spend. Not picky about what the bouquet/arrangement is. Just something nice, and would like to get the best bang for the buck.

Preferably would like it to be delivered.

Location: Flatbush.

What are my options?

Thanks!

I would say check Instacart.

ETA; on second thought I wonder if you’ll find a nice “arrangement” there. So maybe skip.

Find a local orchard and ask what they can out togther for $120.

Orchard?? Lol.

But yes, I will be going to a local flower shop... I'll see what they can do. At this point, I'll take whatever I can get... As they say, Beggars can't be choosers...

Thank You.

Most local flower shops will still deliver for you and have a decent selection. I always call erev shavous and always got a nice arrangement

In Lakewood you should try the guy across from aisle 9 on the Madison & 10th.
Frum guy, (somewhat Israeli) and makes arrangements as you like, for good prices.

BH I was able to arrange something at a local flower shop (Yesh Omrim: Orchard), it came out looking very decent BH (albeit not first choice worthy, but then again, beggars can't be choosers...).

Thanks to all who gave suggestions.

Ah Gut Yom Tov.

You spent $120, why do you keep calling yourself a beggar? I guess in our frum super duper hyperinflated economy spending just $120 for Shavuos flowers gives you the expectations of a beggar.

It's just a saying!

"Beggars can't be choosers".

I can't tell if you are joking, but it's a pretty famous saying. (Although I probably took it a bit out of context)

I thought you meant since it was so close to YT and they would otherwise be busy.

I know that saying, was asking why do you apply it to yourself.

It was enjoyed by the recipient, that's all that matters to me at this point.

However, I did take a picture, but it really doesn't look too nice in the picture, so I'm not going to share.
