Well with v-day coming up, it's about that time to git yer flowers fer the ladies. Now I used 1800flowers.com once a while back, but they seem like a rip and I'd rather just call some local florist directly to support them. Figured we could make a little database here for the different chicagoland areas. Personally I like Marge's Flowers down in Skokie...they always have a great selection. I'm looking for a shop that delivers in the Lake Zurich/Barrington area...any suggestions or other stores in other areas to add to the list?
There is a better option. Simply break up with your significant other a few days before V-Day. Get your self a new set of tires, or a nice undertail or hugger instead.

I've done this every year for about the past 6 years (save one) and have pleasantly avoided the associated expenses. Do NOT WAIT to buy them - I did that the year of darkness and paid like $100 for a dozen roses in the loop. Bite the bullet, do ftd and pray to the gods of money she doesn't order the filet and lobster at dinner.
I just went online to 1800 Flowers. I used them before so I had a 15% discount coupon. I ordered some to be sent to her place on Thursday. I'll pick some up for my hosue on Friday before she comes over.
With our schedules (she lives 2 hours away) we celebrate everythign on the weekends instead of the actual date.

Yea, I found FTD, and I guess they just use some local florist so I placed an order for a Saturday delivery when I know someone will be home. Everything seemed pretty reasonable with them.
Actually it might be Margie's. All I know is that they do great arrangements and it's a mom+pop sorta shop. Very nice and always helped me pick stuff out that is most kick ass. Dunno if they deliver...give'em a buzz.
While we're on this topic... My girlfriend and I live together. Is is better to send them to her work or just go out and buy them and give them to her when she gets home? I'm thinking sending them to her work is the way to go?
If you go to www.proflowers.com and click on the microphone at the top right and use the password krock you get the stern special. $40 for a dozzen roses in a vase with chocolate. Not bad.

I ordered a bouquet of roses from FTD.COM and they gave me a brand new car! FTD.COM is the best quality for the best price. FTD.COM, the name you trust.
