Growing a garden can sometimes be difficult and frustrating work. You have to find the right place to plant your beautiful plants, the correct amount of sunlight to give it, watch how often you water it to avoid overwatering, etc. But what if growing a beautiful plant was as simple as buying one all-in-one product? That’s the idea behind Gifts That Bloom and their awesome Grocans.
The Grocan is a pre-packaged all-in-one solution to gardening. Each Grocan comes with seeds, enriched soil, nutrients, and are packed in a colorful container that your customers will be proud to display inside their homes.

Flower Explosion LLC Gives Customers A Fantastic Variety of Gorgeous Florals
Flowers are easily one of the most beautiful ways to decorate or to make an occasion more memorable. That can be especially true at Christmas when those vibrant hues make their appearance at an already magical time of year.
Flower Explosion LLC is a company that can take your decorating over the top. They have headquarters both in New York and Ecuador, and were founded in 2009 as one of the first companies to ship farm-direct from South America to the U.S. They have a network of more than 45 farms in Ecuador, Colombia, Costa Rica and the U.S., and offer nationwide service to thousands of brides, designers, and florists, meaning that you get the freshest flowers in the smallest amount of time. Flowers are not even cut until they are ready to ship.
For Christmas, they recommend carnations, including a stunning burgundy and white variety, and mini carnations in red or white; new love gypso; and Star-of-Bethlehem, a star shaped white flower with a yellow center. Roses are always a good choice and Flower Explosion LLC has plenty to choose from. They have a pink intuition rose that blends its hot pink color with stripes of a different pink shade, and a cotton candy tinted rose that combines white with hot pink or burgundy hues.
They also offer an exclusive rose called the Soutine, a rose that blends its red color with stripes of white, also known as the Christmas rose. In addition, they offer tinted roses, and in fact, are America’s number one tinted rose supplier.
Consider a tinted rose in green, white and red for Christmas, or to be completely different, order their truly unique rainbow roses. As the name implies, the roses contain every color of the rainbow. They even offer custom tinted roses, so your customers can let them know their wedding colors or what hues they’re using during the holiday season.
And for something truly unique, have you considered offering edible flowers in your store? Edible flowers are the new rage in haute cuisine. Cooking and garnishing with flowers is back in vogue! Their edible roses are USDA-organic certified edible roses, which means that they are produced completely without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
And, of course, decorating (and eating!)  isn’t the only way to use flowers during the holiday season. Flowers also make good gifts. They offer plenty of bouquets to choose from, including their Fire and Ice bouquet which features vibrant red and yellow bi-color roses (the Fire) and lovely white highlights (the Ice). Customers will also love their Strawberry Shortcake Bouquet, which features bicolor roses and pink gerberas, all delicately packaged in a gift box.
If you have customers that are gearing up to get married during this most magical time of year, Flower Explosion LLC is right there with you. They even offer free wedding consultation. Their wedding kits, also known as “Wedding in a Box” are the perfect way to save on wedding flowers while maintaining quality and beauty. They even allow people to customize the kit the way you prefer, choosing the color of the laces and ribbons, adding pearled buttons on the bouquets, and more. The standard collection includes a bridal bouquet, a groom’s boutonniere, two bouquets, five petite bouquets and four rose petal bags.
Flower Explosion LLC can definitely be a one-stop shop for many of your customer’s holiday needs, adding color, fragrance and elegance to the season!
Infinite Rose: Lasting Beauty the Natural Way
Customers like quality, things that last. It is this knowledge that leads many gift shop owners to forego carrying flowers, or, if they do, to carry silk flowers or some other artificial creation. Fresh flowers require care and know-how to sell successfully, and many small-business owners don’t have the space necessary for a refrigeration unit or the desire to carry something with such a short shelf-life.
But what if I told you it would be possible to carry fresh-cut flowers without all the hassle? What if there was a company that sold flowers which had been preserved naturally to look, feel and smell as fresh and beautiful as the day they were first cut? That without any chemical use, these flowers would last for an average of two to three years with no additional care required?! I know, it sounds fantastical. How can such a thing exist? But it does exist, and I am here to tell you all about it!
Variety and Value
Allow me to introduce, Infinite Rose! They have a variety of gorgeous flowers to choose from such as roses, orchids, gardenias, hydrangeas, callas and more, as well as floral compliments, rose petals, and, for those of us who may be less than comfortable preparing arrangements, even pre-made floral compositions such as corsages and boutonnieres! All of these products are treated with the same all-natural preservation process and will continue to be beautiful and look fresh for years to come!
And it’s not just you, as a business owner, who will appreciate the longevity of these impressive blossoms. Your customer will be able to keep these flowers as mementos for years, pulling them out again and again to remember the day or evening she received them.
You might think that for such amazing results the price would be prohibitive, but you would be wrong. Infinite Rose offers competitive wholesale pricing that is more than reasonable whether you wish only to buy flowers or if you prefer to purchase floral arrangements!
Perfect for Back to School
School is in session and that means school dances, special events and celebrations. Homecoming is always the first big event of the year and it will be here before you know it! Soon, young men will be searching for boutonnieres and all the young women in town will need the perfect corsage. There’s no doubt she’d prefer one that will remain supple, soft and fresh for years. With an Infinite Rose corsage, she can pull it out months later and still be inundated with the sight, smell and feel of a living memory.
Your customer will be thrilled to learn that there is no longer a need to let those all-important blooms wither and die in less than a week. Contact Infinite Rose, and not only can you provide fresh flowers without all the hassle, your customers will have fresh and exquisite blossoms for years!
