			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Valentine&#8217;s Day is upon us and many wholesalers and retailers have seen an increase in purchases for Valentine&#8217;s Day 2012.</p>
<p>The National Retail Federation (NRF) recently posted a report suggesting the average shopper will spend a record $126.03 for their loved one&#8217;s this Valentine&#8217;s Day.  This marks an increase of 8.5% over last year and is the highest recorded sum in the the ten year history of the NRF.  American Express generated a similar report indicating consumers will spend close to $200.00 this year for Valentine&#8217;s Day, an increase of about 8% over last year.</p>
<p>These reports suggest that the most popular items consumers will purchase for Valentine&#8217;s Day include flowers, gift cards, jewelry and electronics with nearly half indicating they will go out to dinner.</p>
<p>With that in mind&#8230; remember to order <a title="Gift Bouquets by The Grower's Box" href="http://www.growersbox.com/catalog/bouquets-1103/">flowers from The Grower&#8217;s Box</a> and make reservations early to your favorite restaurant for the 14th of February!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Grower&#8217;s Box is thrilled to introduce our new lineup of <a title="Gift Bouquets" href="http://www.growersbox.com/catalog/bouquets-1103/"><strong>Gift Bouquets</strong></a>!</p>
<p>In addition to our extensive catalog of wholesale flowers and wedding flowers we are thrilled to introduce our expanding collection of gift bouquets.  These gorgeous gift bouquets are a perfect way to let someone know you love them, miss them, wish them well, or that you are thinking of them.  Our selection of gift bouquets includes rose bouquets as well as mixed flower bouquets.</p>
<p>What sets us apart from the rest?  Our commitment to <strong>QUALITY</strong> and <strong>VALUE</strong>!</p>
<p><strong>Quality Farms</strong>: Our commitment to quality begins at our eco-friendly flower farms in Colombia, Ecuador and California which share our same high standards for flower quality.</p>
<p><strong>Quality Flowers</strong>: Each bouquet is hand-assembled and inspected for quality just a few hours before it ships.  You can rest assured that you will be receiving very fresh flowers which will last for a very long time.</p>
<p><strong>Quality Shipping</strong>: All of our bouquets are shipped via FedEx Priority Overnight Services - we do not charge extra for these services!  FedEx&#8217;s overnight services are hands-down the best in the industry.</p>
<p>In designing our <strong><a title="Gift Bouquets" href="http://www.growersbox.com/catalog/bouquets-1103/">gift bouquet program</a></strong> we decided to present the prices as &#8216;delivered&#8217; prices.  No starting with a $29.00 bouquet then tacking on increases for the vase, the shipping, the handling, the extra surcharge for shipping Priority Overnight&#8230; only to find that your $29.00 bouquet really costs upwards of $100.00.  Our prices are simple, straightforward and competitive.</p>
<p>Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions regarding our gift bouquet program or if there is anything else that we can assist you with.</p>
<p>Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy Holiday Season!</p>
