Weirdly Specific Search Term of the Day

May 8, 2008 by WendyB

The weirdly specific search term of the day is: “how much does it cost to buy a rose online and have it delivered to your grandmother.”

It would be amusing if the cost of flowers depended on the identity of the recipient. You could send a dozen roses to Mom for $29.99, but Grandma would cost you $99.99. Everyone would start lying about their relationships.


For the record, I’ve had good experiences with Proflowers. That link is probably more helpful to anyone who needs a flower for grandma than the page the original searcher got.

If you want to send flowers that will really be appreciated, send my latest Lotus Flower Necklaces to all your loved ones. I previously shared the 18K gold and silver versions. Here are the ruby and diamond versions. If you want more information about these pieces, email me at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com.

    Eek, Lynn. I’m still fixing some things, it shouldn’t be live yet.

    Well, let me know if you see any obvious problems besides the ring priced at $0.00! (There’s no order button so don’t get your hopes up.) Not every piece that has appeared on the blog will be on the site yet — there’s a little bit of a delay while I create the new item pages.

    You missed the point of my question – my grandmothers are both dead. I need a flower delivery company with a strong back and a good shovel.

    I love these necklaces with the stones. Much longer-lasting.

    i once tried to send my mom flowers for her b’day and i desisted when i started to find out that sending flowers to her would cost the same as taking me there by flight.
