I sent this to my boyfriend for an early valentines gift, and it got there great! No damage whatsoever. He told me the flowers were beautiful and loved the idea of having these instead of normal flowers that die quick. I think the only con, which I don't think is bad, is that he said they smelt funky coming out of the box. Not sure if that's supposed to happen or not but thought I'd share :) Thank you for the great present!
