Hallmark Blooming Expressions Review

Blooming Expressions – are a fresh new way to express your love again and again. With the press of a button, a flower blooms to reveal a special message for a special person. The best part — the flower closes and can bloom again and again, expressing your love and admiration any day of the year. You can find the full garden of Blooming Expressions at your local Hallmark Gold Crown store, as well as select Hallmark retailers for $14.95.

If you are anything like me, it can be hard for you to rationalize spending over 30$ on a dozen flowers. Especially since the are going to wilt and die. I know they can live a while in water cut, but no matter how diagonal I cut them, (yes! I do it underwater too!) nor how often I change the water, or add food to the water- they still die and very quickly at that. I can barely preserve them for more than a week. If I get it that long I am lucky. 

Hallmark solved that problem with this adorable Blooming Expressions. Small and stylish enough to be on the fireplace mantel without the worry of watering or cleaning up petals! Cool- right? Through moments big and small, and through both happy and difficult times, Hallmark helps you give voice to caring thoughts and let others know your feelings.

Blooming Expressions- in fact the name sounds like a certain wonderful Mommy Blog (*ahem!*) called Locomotion of Expressions, don't ya think? Despite what I have heard (and gasped at) lately, Mother's Day is not just about YOUR Mother, it can be a friend who is a Mother. I send all my GF's Mother's Day Cards and such. Most of my friends husbands tend to suck at gifts, and I don't mind!

Hallmark has done a remarkable job branding themselves with the above sentiment. It’s truly all about celebrating all of life’s special occasions! 

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, Hallmark is full of great gift ideas, but there’s also great ideas for other important people worth honoring on mother’s day.  Your aunt.  Your grandmother.  Your neighbor who was like a second mom growing up.

Here’s a fabulous way to show them you think they’re special, with a sweet gift they can look at all year long.

Bonus, you don’t have to water it.

These stunning, fabric blooms are showcased in a beautiful vase – press a button and watch the blooms unfold to reveal a heartfelt sentiment.

The lavender Blooming Expressions™ come with one of two sentiments: What a blessing you are, or You are one of life’s best gifts.

Blooming Expressions (MSRP $14.95 in USD) are also great for visiting grandparents in nursing homes or other places where flowers are frowned on  (who ever thought there would be such a thing, frowning upon flowers!) I have found them in my local Publix by the greeting cards.

Hallmark introduced the first-of-its-kind Blooming Expressions — a fabric flower that blooms to reveal a message for a special person. Blooming Expressions blossom repeatedly with the touch of a button, letting a consumer express love, appreciation or friendship again and again, while allowing the person receiving the gift to relive those warm feelings any day of the year.

“With the ability to last forever and bloom multiple times, Blooming Expressions enhance the tradition of giving a loved one flowers,” said Hallmark product manager Dan Woodall “We’re excited to offer consumers another innovative and tangible way to express what’s in their hearts.”
