Six tips to take her breath away with your gifts:

We have recently celebrated Valentine’s Day and are eagerly awaiting the first holiday of the season on March 8th, International Women’s Day.The only thing that can compare with the satisfaction of giving the perfect gift is knowing how happy she is to receive it, to know you, and to be with you. So to make the process of gift giving much more worthwhile, we comprised several tips to make it so.

  1. Make it personal
There is always something personal  which the two of you share, so make your gift another reminder of how much you treasure your lady and time you spent together. E.g. one of the most romantic gifts we delivered: “71 roses for every hour we spent together”
  1. Consider her passions, hobby or interests
Take the unique side of her personality into consideration. Does she have a sunny character? Select sunflowers in a basket for her. Does she love seaside? Give her a piece of jewelry which will always remind her of the happy days you spent together at the sea shore
  1. Use flowers with meaning
Ladies always read into gifts, so to make your gift meaningful with a choice of flowers and their color>>
  1. Add music
You can choose any song and we will be glad to incorporate it during the delivery(subject to availability).
  1. Flowers for mom
If there is more than one lady in the household, consider adding bouquets for her mom, daughter or grandmother. You will get the constant support of her family and they will talk about your thoughtful grand gesture for months.
  1. Place your order in advance
Our flower delivery service gets about 20% of its annual sales during the 8th of March. To accommodate for such a sudden increase in orders, we have to hire part time drivers and couriers. We understand how important it is to deliver a gift on Women’s Day on time, and we do our best to deliver all gifts(including last minute) on time, but it is not always possible, especially involving complex orders, including perfumes or jewelry which we ship from Kiev. This adds another day to delivery time.
This year, March 8th deliveries are to be covered by our Absolute Satisfaction Guarantee, please consider placing your orders before the following dates:

  • For deliveries in Kiev or Kherson: Wednesday, March 7th midnight,
  • Regional centers of Ukraine: Wednesday March 7th: 9.00 a.m. Kiev time,
  • Small towns of Ukraine: Tuesday March 6th 9.00 a.m. Kiev time
For complex orders including perfumes, jewelry, toys please add another day for delivery time, thank you!





Quality Control of Valentine's Day Gift Delivery

Customer support is our top priority, so every month we conduct a Quality Check survey among gift recipients to determine if our services were, overall, of top quality.
We have contacted 25 recipients living in Kiev, Lvov, Odessa, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, and Zaporozhie, along with a few other Ukrainian cities to whom we delivered flowers, gourmet baskets, jewelry, perfumes and other thoughtful gifts on Valentine’s Day. We concluded that:

  •  96% informed the couriers were very friendly and nice,

8th of March – International Women’s Day


“Women are the real architects of society.” - Harriet Beecher Stowe

Dear friends,, as you have probably understood there is no month in Ukraine without a holiday;-)  In spite of the recent popularity here of St. Valentine’s Day, the most important holiday for your lady will remain the one that we celebrate on the 8th of March: International women’s day.
 
This date was chosen to celebrate all women: mothers, daughters, sisters, grandmothers, co-workers, daughters, girlfriends, and fiancées. The 8th of March officially marks the care and attention towards the gentler half of mankind.
Believe it or not we inherited International Women’s Day from the Socialist Party of America in 1909.  In 1910 in Copenhagen the idea of having a day, which unites women all over the world, was supported by famous socialist Clara Zetkin. In 1917 Kollontai, a minister in the first Soviet government, persuaded Lenin to make March 8th an official holiday. During the Soviet period, the holiday was celebrated as the holiday of "the heroic woman worker". Today it is an official day off, and both men and women look forward to this holiday. It has lost its political meaning and now celebrates the unconditional love, sacrifice, patience, wisdom, and beauty of the Ukrainian women. This is the day when we congratulate our mothers, grandmothers, sisters, daughters, wives and girlfriends, and often one can hear congratulations even from the strangers in the street.

Men start to get ready for this holiday here in a week or so, and the morning of 8th of March is famous for flower shops totally crowded with men. Although the local flower stores almost double the prices on this holiday [note: Unona’s prices do not change], lots and lots of flowers are sold as every woman in Ukraine receives a few bouquets on this day. Besides flowers the other presents on this day are chocolates, toys, jewelry, or perfumes.  Most importantly men try to make his women free from housework at least for one day, by inviting her to a restaurant or trying to cook and to clean up.

Our website www.Ukrainegiftdelivery.com is always ready to help you with the choice of beautiful and thoughtful gifts to your lady. And remember that if you have something very special on your mind and you cannot find it in our collection, you can always tell us your wish and we will do our best to find exactly what you want.
