My childhood best friend will be celebrating her birthday at the begining of July. But my best friend is also an expat - living far away in Portland, Oregon (What a beautiful place). So how do I let her know I care? A phone call is just not enough...
I started thinking what to do, and then I remembered that while we were posted in Venezuela my sister came for a visit. She was in her twenties and just met a new guy, who she left back home.
This young guy (now my brother in law) was in love, and wanted to show my sister how much he cares. So he phoned the embassy, spoke with our security guys, and requested them to buy her flowers and to arrange for the flowers to be sent to our house. Probably a smooth move as they are married today.
Well, why won't I do the same and send my best friend flowers for her birthday? Only today is 2009, the internet is much more developed and there is no need for such extreme actions.
I started searching the web, and I stumbled across FromYouFlowers.com They have so many products to choose from , and not only flowers but also gift baskets and plants.
However, what I really like about FromYouFlowers.com is that they deliver to 160 different countries! This is so cool I can send birthday gifts to any of my expat friends or family around the world.
I just hope my best friend would like it.
Would you be happy with this kind of birthday gift?
