True story. One year, when I was working at a small office, all of the women received roses on Valentine’s Day from their significant others. And the guys in the office felt guilty for not buying flowers for their significant other! Don’t let this be you! (Do you something for your special someone, be it flowers or something else.)

ProFlowers is my favorite flower delivery service. Why? They guarantee their flowers. If you are not completely satisfied with your flowers, they will refund your money – no questions asked!

From the ProFlowers website:

“We guarantee that all our flowers, plants and preserved items will last at least 7 days or your money back. If for any reason you are not satisfied with the freshness of your flowers, please call or email us and we will gladly replace the bouquet or refund your money. Potted plants have an extended guarantee of 14 days.”

I actually took them up on their offer. One time my husband sent me flowers from ProFlowers and they were not fresh. The edges of the flowers were deteriorating. I wasn’t happy with the flowers so my husband asked for his money back. ProFlowers offered a refund and apologies.

Their flowers are usually perfect! ProFlowers ships the flowers wrapped in plastic and safely packaged in a cardboard box. They even include some packets of plant food and a guide on how to care for the flowers. You have an option to other items to your order, such as chocolates, hand dipped strawberries, or a teddy bear.

Best Buy: Netbooks As Low As $249.99. Valid 12/27-1/2
I keep talking about netbooks. That’s because they’re unbelievably low in price!

I mentioned in an earlier post about the convenience and affordability of netbooks. Amazon is offering netbooks loaded with Windows 7 (the latest platform, thank God) starting under $350!

Netbooks are essentially mini laptops but without a CD/DVD drive. But you easily attach a USB flash drive to transfer documents. Netbooks are designed for Internet use and word processing. Hence the name “netbook”. They are not designed for intensive use like gaming and video editing.

Most people use computers to go on the Internet anyway. Netbooks make it affordable for to do so.

The compact size makes it easy to travel with. We have brought our netbook with us on vacation. It’s lightweight and stores easily in your carry on luggage or large purse.

The compact size also means that the keyboard is small. If this bothers you, attach an external keyboard. This is my ergonomic setup. The netbook sits eye level on a raised platform, like a box or books. An external keyboard is attached below.

Netbooks make great gifts for kids, teens, college students, and adults.

When you click for the price, you’ll see that these netbooks are way below $350. And they are selling like hotcakes!

Acer, Asus, Toshiba, and HP are all good brands. Order by Dec. 17 to get it in time for Christmas via Free Super Saver Shipping.
