Ask HN: What is the HipMunk of sending flowers?

1 pointpeteforde2 comments

My girlfriend's father died, and it sucks. She lives far away, and I would like to send flowers.

I just got the feeling of dread that I used to get when I had to go to Expedia. Surely this is a solved problem, but Google is full of SEO'd crap.

If someone could have a working MVP when I wake up tomorrow, that'd be awesome. (Only kind of joking.)

Sorry to hear of your GF's loss. If you want to shop from a startup, you could try H. Bloom perhaps? http://www.hbloom.com/

Never used them but the service seems promising based on product pictures. However, they only deliver to a few US states, which may/not correspond to your GF's city.

There's a service called Interflora which lets you send flowers almost all over the world: you specify the destination address and they send the flowers through the nearest flower shop to that address. Try googling that, it's not guaranteed that the location you're looking for is serviced but it's highly probable.
