Buy Some Love: Order Flowers, Gifts with iPhone App

By Nicole Martinelli (4:47 am, Feb. 04, 2009)

This free iPhone, iPod app from 1-800-flowers.com could come in handy, the idea of using a meeting deadzone to order a forgotten birthday gift (sorry mom!) appeals to me immensely.

You can order stuff from the site, namely  flowers, plants, balloons, plus cookies, cakes and wine and cheese, some for same-day delivery.

Caveat: the first few user reviews are on the low side, with one person having to go through customer support to access an existing account, so you might want to make sure you’ve taken it for a spin before Valentine’s Day next week.

Available on iTunes.

    Is there anything my iPhone can’t do? I just purchased flowers for Valentine’s Day using my iPhone and the process was simple and quick. I love it, and I’m sure my wife will to!
