Should I order in advance?

Yes. But we only accept orders one month ahead of actual delivery date and this only applies to non-seasonal gifts. Valentine's and Mother's day gifts are not applicable as prices during these holidays are influenced by market price fluctuation.

However, we always advise our Customer to order in advance of at least 3 days and not to order towards the last minute to ensure that the gift and flowers ordered are available. For last minute orders, Customer will usually have to bear with substitution of products. Gift such as cakes, exotic fruits and flowers etc requires notification and will more likely to be available when ample time is given.
