Flower (or something cool) delivery for a friend's birthday

March 16, 2010 2:23 PM

My best friend's birthday is Thursday. She lives and works on Long Island, NY. I would like to send her flowers or balloons or maybe something cool like chocolate or wine that will be delivered to her office on her birthday, looking to spend $50-100. Suggestions or recommendations?

Cookie Bouquets are always a hit. There are several companies that have this service. I'm sure you can find one in your area.

Seconding Edible Arrangements. I've sent these a bunch of times. They are yummy and look nice. Would make a great office treat. And it's right in your price range.

There are some awesome services that will deliver just about anything (even concert tickets with enough notice), but remember that 'Long Island' is pretty big (over 100 miles long, almost the same area as all of Rhode Island). Very few services are going to deliver to Montauk or Greenport AND Garden City. Can you narrow it down a little?

There's a place called "Everything in a Basket". They have lots of food/candy type stuff. But I've also brought in my own stuff (once, Halloween treats), and have had them arrange it. All I paid for was the basket and something like $10 on top of that.

I don't have their number, but you could look them up. They're in Huntington, on Main Street.
