Bouquet Days: Callia Delivers Happiness in a Box
What It Is: Some people could make a case for having too many ‘things’, in which case gifting them can be tough. The trick is to find items they’ll love – and use. Case in point? Bouquets. Always a classic but sometimes overlooked choice, there’s now a super duper simple way to send gorgeous, Instagram-worthy bouquets in a flash, while you’re on the go! Callia is the best new way to get bouquets delivered – they can be ordered in less than six clicks online or via your phone. These breathtaking hand-tied bouquets are crafted with in-season blooms for the freshest flowers possible, meaning your box of delights could last for weeks (be sure to check out their gorgeous holiday-themed bouquets this month). And with an all-in price point that’s 40% less than the same bouquet from a standard florist and same day delivery options in several major Canadian cities, it’s a no-brainer when you want to send fresh cut fleurs someone’s way.
While once in awhile blooms are pretty swell idea, as we turn to the holiday gifting season I have to point out that a subscription would be a really gorgeous gift – particularly for the gal (or guy) that has everything. Callia offers ‘Bouquet of the Month’ subscriptions for three or six months at a time, ensuring your loved one gets a beautiful bouquet in the mail well past December 25th. Other ideas? If you’re hunting for a creative business gift for your clients or employees, you can get Callia bouquets (with bulk order discounts available) in lieu of sugary chocolate or fruit baskets.
Who It’s For: Your mother-in-law, to liven up her decor-perfect home with something fresh. Your best girl, as the thing she’ll most look forward to receiving in the mail in the new year. Your clients, as a gorgeous thank you that’ll stand out from the pack.
What It Costs: All bouquets cost $49. You can add on a vase for as little as $9 and double the size of your bouquet for a fee. Delivery charges are super reasonable – from about $4-$9.
Where It’s At: Callia is currently available in Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver. Order online here.
Want a hand-tied, Pin-worthy beautiful bouquet to show up on your doorstep? I’m very excited to announce I’m giving away 2 bouquets from Callia – and you could win one of them! Before you enter, please note: bouquets can only be delivered in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, or Winnipeg.

I’d choose the Fearless bouquet for its vibrant colours. I’d send it to myself because I need a pickmeup at this time of the year.
The Fearless is an amazing pick-me-up… and it has rosemary, which is so cool for the scent.
I love the star gazer. I’d send it to my sister!
We love The Stargazer too… so much brightness and happiness!
I like the Star Gazer bouquet, and I’d send it to my daughter-in-law.
