Our faculty and staff love receiving a meal from "Instead of Flowers."  They are always surprised and love the delicious meals.  Our Department values wellness and we never send flowers - only "Instead of Flowers."

Hello! What a wonderful treat we had last night. My wife's company had ordered a dinner for us after her surgery and we had it delivered last night. We enjoyed a scrumptious meal of pork tenderloin with all of the trimmings. Kudos for a great idea, a professional staff, and a great dinner. We really appreciated it.

Thanks,
Scott Mathis

I can't say enough great things about Instead of Flowers.  I have received their yummy meals and sent them to numerous folks for a variety of occasions.  It seems that everyone my husband and I know are having babies.  Not being a good cook, but wanting to do something for the new parents, IOF is the perfect, thoughtful gift.  The best part of IOF (besides the very good food) is the convenience.  They deliver when it is convenient for the person receiving the meals.  IOF comes highly recommended from our family.

As a long-time customer, I have been extremely pleased with Instead of Flowers.  I've placed dozens of orders with you and each one has been processed in a fast, courteous and professional manner.  Whether I'm ordering a get well meal or a new baby meal - or even a gift certificate - each order always arrives on time.  The recipients have always been pleasantly surprised to receive an actual gourmet meal as opposed to a floral arrangement.  And I've heard nothing but great things regarding the quality of the meals.  Thanks very much for your continued wonderful customer service.

Frustrated when you call the florist in the afternoon after a client/friend has an illness or baby only to be told that your arrangement could not go out until the next day?

Frustrated at what to give that special client, friend or loved one for a birthday, holiday gift or special occasion and do not know what to get?

Instead of Flowers has relieved that frustration for me.  They specialize in personal service, delicious meals, creative packaging and a wonderful culinary experience.  Every time I have sent one of their meals, I have heard these same words over and over - "that was one of the best gifts I have ever received".  The staff at Instead of Flowers is professional from the time they answer the phone to the time your order is delivered.  It is a pleasure to do business with someone who takes pride in their service as well as their product.

We have used Instead of Flowers as a housewarming gift for several years.  Our clients are so impressed with the quality of the food and the service that they often go on to send an Instead of Flowers meal themselves.
