CARLE PLACE, N.Y., Feb. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Roses are red,
daisies are great, International Women's Day is coming up,
and 1-800-FLOWERS.COM wants to help celebrate! This
March 8, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc.
(NASDAQ: FLWS), the world's leading florist and gift shop, is
calling upon all women to come together to recognize one another
for their achievements through the observance of International
Women's Day. Though the holiday is widely recognized on an
international scale, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM is aiming to raise awareness
for this holiday nationwide by creating the "Women's Week" floral
collection – a variety of arrangements that are designed to help
spread messages of encouragement, inspiration and support to women
across the country.
"International Women's Day is a day for us to celebrate
all the women in our lives - from friends and family members, to
colleagues and mentors – and their achievements on society, whether
on a global, national, local or personal scale," said Jim McCann, CEO & Founder of
1-800-FLOWERS.COM. The 'Women's Week' floral collection that we've
put together honors women worldwide, recognizing the individual
mark they've all made on this world."
In many countries, women are honored on International Women's
Day with gifts – often times, flowers – as a way for one to
show their appreciation. To further encourage the celebration
of International Women's Day here in the United States, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM has put
together the "Women's Week" floral collection, providing consumers
with a heartfelt way to celebrate and show recognition to the most
important women in their lives. The "Women's Week" floral
collection will be during the week and days leading up to this
growing holiday.
Each hand-crafted arrangement included in the "Women's Week"
floral collection captures the emotions and sentiment of
International Women's Day. Consumers have the options
of choosing bouquets made up of pink flowers, which conveys love
and passion; lavender flowers, which represents beauty and
admiration; yellow flowers, a symbol of happiness and friendship;
or mixed bouquets, incorporating a blend of color and
emotion. The floral arrangements that make up the current
"Women's Week" floral collection include:
- Shades of Inspiration™ - A truly original bouquet of lovely
roses, daisy poms, stock, alstroemeria and monte casino in shades
of pink and purple that are delivered in a stylish purple glass
vase to bring out the richness of color to say "I admire you"
