Recently, I received a very unique gift. The item was a candy arrangement and it was delivered right to my door. My unique arrangement consisted of an orange crush bottle filled with orange crush. The top of the bottle was uniquely decorated with hard candies and curly ribbons in all different colors. Sticking straight out of the top, and looking sort of like a candle is a multi colored candy stick. The whole thing is really cute and having it delivered in the same way that you have flowers delivered made it a really special gift.

The company that shipped this to me specializes in these kinds of arrangements, and although they are very unique, I think that it would be easy enough for florists to provide this kind of arrangement in addition to all the wonderful services they already provide. I have not received many of these home flower deliveries myself, but I have actually sent quite a few. As a matter of fact I want to send one to my aunt this week. She is just coming home from the hospital and I want to do something special to cheer her up. She has been having a long hard battle with cancer, and has been in and out of the hospital for the past year. I can tell that she is getting really tired of the whole thing, and I am afraid that it won't be long before she throws in the towel. You see my aunt has always been like one of my best friends. She has always been full of life, spunk and energy. I can see that the cancer is getting the best of her, and I am sure that she can see it too. She can't go out much, and as a person who has always loved the sun and the beach, I know this time of year is especially difficult for her. I am glad that I can send her some flowers to cheer her up, but unfortunately I also know that it will be only a temporary bright light in a very dark world. To meet her, you would never know that she is suffering. She smiles and laughs and pretends that nothing is wrong, but when I look in her eyes I see the hollowness that hides behind the I'm okay attitude, and I can tell that her hopes are fading. I guess it is her constant smile through the adversities of life that make her my favorite person on the planet.
