Winston Flowers ships nationwide, but also has same-day flower delivery in New York and Boston.

The Pilates Class Yearly Subscription
If she's a Pilates enthusiast, you can't go wrong with a subscription to the Pilates Class, which includes tons of at-home workouts and other self-care and wellness-focused offerings, like healthy recipes and meditations. While you could go for a monthly subscription, we think she deserves the full year, and will so appreciate it.
