Do you love to receive flowers but rarely do? Do you wish there was a way you could hint to your loved ones that a bouquet of beautiful blossoms would be greatly appreciated? Well, now there’s Hint Cards being developed by the California Cut Flower Commission (CCFC).
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
As the saying goes, “April showers bring May flowers.” However, in a recent survey conducted by the CCFC we found that 42% of women don’t receive flowers as often as they would like. That’s why the CCFC has come up with a “Hint Card” to help deserving moms, such as yourself, drop a hint to that certain someone that they would like to receive a beautiful bouquet of the world’s freshest flowers, California Grown flowers!
These Hint Cards incorporate a little romance or a little humor and are the perfect size to be left under pillows, inside lunch bags, stuck on mirrors, tucked in billfolds, placed on plates or just delivered from hand to hand.
OUR REVIEWS
FRN had the opportunity to not only review a set of Hint Cards but we also each received a beautiful bouquet of flowers from The California Cut Flowers Commission. Here’s what our members thought:
1StopMom Giveaways & Reviews: They come in a variety of different colors: blue, green, orange and even purple! When you think about it these cards are a nice and subtle way to get some flowers from your loved ones. This would probaly work better than being extremely blunt like I am with my husband. I have never been good at giving hints and he is just as good as catching them.
3 Garnets & 2 Sapphires: I asked my husband what he thought about these flower hint cards. He actually thought they were cute. I think my husband would respond to finding a card in his lunch bag or tucked into the visor in his car. I think I would have to put it in a place where he would find it away from the house. If I left one on his pillow to find when he went to bed, he would almost certainly forget about it by morning.
A Couch With A View: How do you make a girl happy? Whether it be your wife, your best friend, your mother, your daughter…. Flowers. Every girl loves flowers. I don’t think I ever met one that didn’t!! But honestly… who wants to ASK for flowers? No One. Thank goodness for Hint Cards!! I “accidently” put one in his lunch box the other night when I was putting his lunch together…
A Little Bit Nutty: These Hint Cards incorporate a little romance or a little humor and are the perfect size to be left under pillows, inside lunch bags, stuck on mirrors, tucked in billfolds, placed on plates or just delivered from hand to hand.
All Because Two People Fell in LOVE: I received the beautiful flowers from California Flowers and my very set of hint cards in the mail! They were extremely well packaged and arrived fresh and very alive!!! Can’t wait to see if my hint cards paid off with my husband!!
An Island Review: We received a set of these cute and colorful cards and found them to be the perfect way to “hint” to someone that I would love to receive flowers. They send the perfect message in a humorous and fun way!
A Wrestling Addicted Mommy: The hint cards are really sort of cute and allow you to give your significant other the hint that you’d love some flowers without outright telling them ‘hey you never get me flowers’. I thought the idea was genius, my husband however not so much.
Blessings Abound: The Hint Cards include several different ways to get the point across that you would love to get your hands on a bouquet of flowers. From lighthearted, witty remarks to romantic sayings, there’s a perfect way to clue in a certain someone that you want to receive flowers no matter what mood you may be in or reason you’d love to have them. What’s neat about the cards are they are designed in vibrant colors so they will stand out and get the person’s attention you are seeking, but yet are small enough to be tucked just about anywhere like a lunch bag, bill fold, or jacket pocket so it can be discreetly hidden until you want the person you wish to get flowers from to find it!
Brimful Curiosities: Last week I received a whole bouquet of vibrant flowers from the CCFC. I must say it has been quite refreshing to have a bouquet of flowers in the home. Just makes me happy. Makes me want more. I plan on placing the little hint cards in strategic locations, like attached to my husband’s cell phone or inside his laptop. That should do it.
Chocolate Fingerprints: And I know from experience that flowers from the California Cut Flowers Commission are fantastic! What vibrant colors, and they arrived in great shape; not droopy at all! My only wish is that they had reinforced the stems of the gerber daisies. Not a big deal, but they just don’t stand up as straight as they could. Still, this is one bouquet I’d never turn down! After a week, they’re still sitting on my table looking gorgeous!
From Melissa’s Desk: Having a beautiful bouquet of cut flowers in the house has been wonderful! Trust me! You are going to want to slip these hint cards everywhere!
Happy Healthy Families: The Hint Cards are so cool. There are 25 in a set. They have cute little “hints” printed on them such as “Psst…My Favorite Flower is in Season.” On the back of each hint card is a message from California Cut Flowers “suggesting” that a loved one would love some of America’s Freshest Cut Flowers. Fun stuff. I am giving my neighbor a few of these cards, and she and I wil be using our cards and keeping tabs to see how well they work with our hubbys.
Mamalicious Finds: The cards are super colorful…all the better for catching his eye! We also received a bouquet from the CCFC, it contained fabulous orange Gerber Daisies, one of my favorites! The bouquet lasted well over a week.
Maria’s Space: Who doesn’t love to receive flowers? Who couldn’t use more flowers? I had to add water to mine two times because these were the first cut flowers I have ever had to actually drink their water. Who knew cut flowers drink water? I didn’t!!
Mom of 2 Dancers Reviews: Every time I walk by my kitchen table I get a big smile on my face. I forgot, how much fresh flowers brighten up your day. The best thing about these flowers though, there was no reason behind it. There was no dance recital, it wasn’t my birthday or Mother’s day. They were just because. I think we forget that flowers can be just because. Just to put a smile on your face, brighten up somebody’s day.
Mommy Musings: Hint Cards can help your husband or signifigant other out by dropping them a little “hint” that you’d like to see some flowers in your future. They are small enough that they can be tucked anwhere, from the top of a pillow to the inside his laptop. Plus, I think they can add a little romance to your life…especially if he takes the hint!
Mom Start: I came home last week from a day out with my kids and there was a box on my porch. I immediately knew they were flowers and I knew they were not from my husband. Hmmm. I wasn’t sure what to do. I thought, they must have something to do with my blog. So I grabbed a vase and cut the stems and put them in some water. They were very vibrant with color, but I just couldn’t remember anything to do with them. They are very nice flowers. They also came with Hint Cards. As I was looking over the hint cards I thought to myself maybe this was what I was expecting. I still wasn’t sure. So I had to check my e-mail and yes, the Hint cards were sent to me from the Family Review Network and California Cut Flower Commission.
My Trendy Tykes: So you really REALLY want fresh flowers…. You go around sniffing flowers and oohing and ahhing certain arrangements. HUBBY STILL DOES NOT GET THE HINT, DOES HE? You are not alone sister…. NOT ALONE!
What’s a girl to do though? I will tell you what to do. You give him a little hint with Hint Cards.Nerd Family Things: According to statistics from the California Cut Flower Comission 42% of women don’t recieve flowers as often as they would like. So the CCFC has come up with a solution. They have these adorable hint cards. They are little cards that you can slip into someone’s lunch bag, briefcase or pocket. They say things like “Don’t let all of my hard work go to waste! -Mr. Bumble Bee”. There is also one for when your favorite flower is in season.
Pink Like the Color: I thought that these were great. Instead of bugging a loved one to buy you flowers, you can leave these cards lying around and subtly hint that you would like flowers. The sayings have just a little bit of romance and humor and would be great to leave lying around or slip in someone’s lunch box.
Riding With No Hands: Remember those flowers I received on my birthday? When I opened the door and saw the box, my first thought was that they were from my husband. But that notion lasted for about half a second. I know better. The flowers were courtesy of the California Cut Flower Commission (CCFC). The fact that they were delivered on my birthday was purely a coincidence! They sure are beautiful… just as bright a week later as they were when I put them in the vase. I’m not going to give up on my husband, though. I know he’ll buy me flowers again one day. Maybe he just needs a hint here or there…
Robyn’s Online World: These are fantastic little business sized cards with hints to leave/give someone that you would enjoy some flowers! My favorite card says “I Dare You To Buy Me Flowers”. Now who doesn’t love a dare like that? I plan on tucking these cards around for Hubby to find over the next several weeks. Maybe in his sock drawer, one in his lunch bag, I might tape one to his steering wheel – you get the idea. If I get flowers I will be sure to report back.
Sage and Savvy: My flowers were vibrant and beautiful when they arrived, and they sure brightened up our home. Flowers are always nice to have around the house. They create an inviting atmosphere, and can lift your spirits. Now, if I wanted DH to get me flowers more often, I could use the California Cut Flower Commission’s Hint Cards, which are fun reminders you leave for your loved ones in hopes they’ll catch the hint and get you some flowers. My favorite Hint Card is the “Not because you have to. Not because you’re sorry. Just because.”
SassyFrazz: I think this is a great idea, because guys don’t always think of flowers. They have so much on their minds with work, kids, family, obligations….etc., that I think they need a bit of a hint to help them out. I think the gift of flowers just shows such appreciation, and as a mom, it is great to get flowers….especially California Grown flowers!
She Scribes: I don’t think people send flowers as often as they could. You don’t have to just send flowers on Anniversaries or Birthdays. You can send flowers “just because” (those are the best kind!). Or how about to tell someone “I’m Sorry”, “Get Well”, “Thinking of you” and so many other non-traditional flower sending occasions. Hint cards are PERFECT! They add a bit of fun and whimsy way to give a hint to that someone special that you would really appreciate a nice bouquet of flowers.
The Dirty Shirt: I love to get flowers, but you wouldn’t know that because I rarely get them, ahem…hint! hint!….but I love flowers. And in a recent survey conducted by the CCFC they found that 42% of women don’t receive flowers as often as they would like. That’s why the CCFC has come up with a “Hint Card” to help deserving moms, such as yourself, drop a hint to that certain someone that they would like to receive a beautiful bouquet of the world’s freshest flowers, California Grown flowers!
The Mom Buzz: These Hint Cards are business card sized, making them easy to leave tucked in unassuming spots – like under pillows, inside lunch bags, stuck on mirrors, tucked in billfolds, placed on plates or just delivered from hand to hand. I left one on my husband’s windshield. Let’s see what happens…
The Power of Housewife Word of Mouth: I got to share that the bouquet came to me from the California Cut Flower Commission to showcase their new hint cards. So that those of us for whom husbands bringing home fresh bouquets on a whim is not a typical occurrence can leave subtle clues around that flowers would be appreciated.
Therapeutic Reviews and Giveaways: My favorite card, the “I dare you to buy me flowers” hint!! If you know my husband, it could be all about the challenge or the dare! LOL. Honestly he is NOT a flower giver. When I got the bouquet from the CCFC, it arrived just before our 13th anniversary and I though “what perfect timing!” My hubby needs an added fire beneath him to get me flowers, and Hint cards are the perfect incentive!
Val’s Views: The flowers I received from the California Cut Flowers Commission were gorgeous. That’s because California’s unique climate allows its flower growers an advantage in producing the finest cut flower in the world. All of the flowers were live and fresh and are still in a vase looking great in my kitchen today, one week later. I also received a package of Hint Cards with my flowers. The Hint Cards are the size of a business card, the perfect size to hide in a wallet, briefcase or lunch. My favorite sayings were “I dare you to buy me flowers.” and “Flowers make a girl happy. And you know what happens when this girl is happy.”
Wish List Worthy: Not very long ago I got the most beautiful bouquet of my absolute favorite flowers! What a treat! The gorgeous bouquet came through FedEx and arrived in perfect form. It brightened our kitchen for almost a week before the flowers started to fade and had to be put in the compost pile. I know that I am not alone in my love of fresh flowers in the home, but I’ll be honest, it’s a rare occasion that I actually get flowers. It looks like I am not alone though, according to the California Cut Flower Commission, 42% of women don’t receive flowers as often as they would like.
So the next time you’d like to receive flowers but don’t know how to ask for them, consider giving out a Hint Card. It just might do the trick!
