my biggest fear with the cookie bouquet is that the cookies will be stale or broken once they get to her. I'm out of the country right now so i'm going to have to do this through an online website so I don;t want to take the risk of send something that may come out crappy. I figure you can't really mess up chocolate or flowers. hmmm

the cookies are pretty good actually nod i mean, they're not homemade, but the taste is pretty nice...

they are guaranteed to arrive unbroken and in a nice bouquet nod

as far as them being stale.. im sure they are baked as needed to fill a certain order...


and, they're cute yay!

Q. How long are your cookies fresh?
A. Our cookies are baked and shipped the same day. To ensure the highest quality, we recommend that they are consumed within a week of receipt. Otherwise, they can be frozen to preserve their freshness.


Q. Will the cookies break during shipping?
A. We guarantee crumble-free delivery. They will not crumble or break under normal circumstances. Each of our cookies is individually wrapped and then packed in a shipping box with bubble wrap and/or newsprint. To stabilize our gifts, the shipping boxes are custom designed for our cookie arrangements.

A. We guarantee that you will be satisfied with our products. If you are unhappy with an item please email us. Be sure to include your original order number, name, telephone number, the best time to get a hold of you if necessary and a detailed explanation of the problem. Problems must be reported to us within one week of shipment receipt in order for the guarantee to be valid. One of our customer service representatives will contact you within one business day. We will work with you to rectify the situation.

If your order arrives damaged, we will send a replacement or issue a refund for the gift cost (excluding shipping charges).
If there is a problem with an individual perishable component, we will send you a replacement for that component.

Is she concerned with her weight? Eating chocolates when you can't work it off might not be appealing to her. I'd send flowers in that case.

Actually, I may be faced with the same surgery and I'll tell you what would be better than cookies and chocolate. Offer to make dinner, or clean/tidy the house, do some shopping for her....etc etc. This is what she really needs.

no, she's not concerned with her weight to the point where she wouldn't eat chocolates. I just figured that flowers will die and she'll be getting a ton of those. At least with the chocolate she can eat some now and then stick some in the fridge for later.

We've had some of our best bonding over chocolate and cookies.


We've also had some good bonding over tapas and sangria but i couldn't find any places online that would deliver...
