Valentine’s Day is known for its wide array of beautiful bouquets. Whether it’s classic red roses or a more modern gift of orchids, flowers are the gift that every woman anticipates on this special day. That’s why it’s important to find a company who has your needs top of mind and believes in delivering the freshest, most unique arrangements. A company such as BloomNation provides their customers with an online marketplace where they can purchase hand-crafted floral pieces from some of the top florists in the United States.

Founded in 2011 by three friends who were sick of the big business middleman, BloomNation is now considered “The Etsy of Flowers.” What makes the company unique is that BloomNation florists send out “BloomSnaps” to each client -a snapshot of the bouquet before it is delivered–making sure there is total satisfaction with the final product. They also allow florists in their network to list their own designs and set prices based on their stock. This helps ensure that the flowers will always be fresh. After all, no one wants to open a box of wilted flowers for Valentine’s Day.

If you want to get in on the action and experience all that this company has to offer, you have your chance now just in time for Valentine’s Day! CupidsPulse.com is giving away two 50 dollar BloomNation gift cards to two lucky winners! That’s right! Send a beautiful, fresh bouquet of flowers to your special someone…or be your own Valentine and purchase something for yourself. Either way, you can be happy knowing that the flowers you receive will be the flowers you purchased.
