Drivers

Every successful delivery starts with a stellar driver. For quite a while, our drivers were family members. We inherently understood what it meant to be the face of the family and the family business. We employ drivers now, but the quality of being the face of the family business is still primary.

Everyone that works at Fantasy Floral becomes a part of our Fantasy Floral family. We strive to create a family atmosphere. First, because it creates a very warm and rewarding work-environment. Second, because we feel it’s important for each customer to feel they receive the same care and attention to detail that family members do.

The service industry is not for everyone. Because of this, those who become a part of our Fantasy Floral family receive a very competitive salary. We want our co-workers to know and feel they are valued and cherished. Happy people create a happy and productive work environment. This includes our drivers.

Deliveries

Drivers that are paid per delivery are motivated to deliver quantity, not quality. We want our drivers to drive safely, have time to carefully load and unload arrangements, and be willing to take that extra moment to smile and make each recipient feel special. Our customers notice this. Recently, one Google reviewer shared, “Most recently they actually handed the flowers to my sister and wished her a happy birthday. Not only great service, the flowers are exquisite.”

We also have a dedicated van that is outfitted with equipment specifically for delivering flower arrangements. Whether it’s a small bud vase or a large vase brimming with 60 roses, we are able to secure the arrangement so that it will not fall over and damage the flowers. You cannot do that with some arrangements in a personal car. We also discovered that it can hold at least 80 balloons!

Additionally, we ensure that the arrangements smell like flowers. I recently had a friend tell me she received an arrangement that made her whole kitchen smell like cigarettes. The driver was smoking in his car while delivering.

Family

Some details might seem trivial, like a driver that smokes. When it comes to family though, no detail is trivial so we pay attention to them all! We can’t imagine operating our business any other way, but we also think it’s what sets us apart. Our deliveries and delivery fees reflect this attention to detail. It starts with family and a desire to make sure each arrangement and customer is cared for!

Game Day Basket

Even though it’s not football season, you can’t go wrong with chili and cornbread! This gift basket comes with onions, red bell pepper, carrots, celery, and garlic. Chop and saute the fresh ingredients to make a yummy version of sofrito. Add the included canned tomatoes and beans as well as water (or your own broth if you prefer) and simmer for 30 minutes. While the chili is simmering, mix up the included box of cornbread and pop it in the oven. We love to top our chili with onions and avocado so we’ve included both for you. You can also add your own shredded cheese or tortilla chips. Dinner will be on the table in no time, and you didn’t even have to put your shoes on!

(The printed recipe for this vegetarian chili from Cookie + Kate is included)

Bollywood Basket

We love Indian food in our family so of course we had to include this vegetarian version of Tikka Masala with Basmati rice. Start by making a pot of the included Basmati rice. The gift basket comes with onions, tomatoes, garlic, and fresh ginger root as well as a jar of garam masala to create that unique masala flavor. You’ll also get a head of cauliflower to chop and roast with your own oil and the garam masala. Add the included chickpeas, canned tomatoes, and coconut milk, and let it simmer.

(The printed recipe for this vegetarian Tikka Masala from The Wanderlust Kitchen is included. The recipe can easily be made vegan by substituting your own coconut oil.)

Family Game Night Nachos Basket

When my boys were growing up, they loved to play Monopoly. Our Monopoly games lasted for hours, sometimes days, so snacks were a must! This gift basket comes with all the ingredients you need for a delicious spread of vegetarian nachos. You’ll get fresh tomatoes, onions, jalapeno, and lime, to make a pico de gallo. Layer with the included tortilla chips, black beans, corn, sliced black olives, avocado, and queso cheese dip, and you’re ready to become a real estate tycoon!

What is better than movies while you’re stuck at home? Movie and popcorn! We have just what you need in this fun gift basket. You’ll get pre-packaged microwave popcorn and the ingredients for 4 kinds of popcorn: taco, ranch, everything bagel, and pumpkin pie for something sweet. Just add your own butter and grab your remote!
