Flowers and plants are a great way of adding ambience to your office or home. Live flowers and plants can be a burden for a busy homeowner or office manager however, as they must receive appropriate care in order to make the surroundings beautiful. A plant can die for any number of reasons, and a wilting plant will look shabby to guests. Additionally, plants that are cared for will grow, and you will find yourself pruning and repotting a couple of times a year. Add to that the mess of fallen leaves and scattered dirt, and you will see why houseplants can be quite a chore.

Fortunately, there are alternatives to real plants if you want to add that extra splash of color! You can get International Shipping of Silk Flowers and plants, such as the classic Poinsettias this season. Artificial plants and silk flowers are a perfect low maintenance addition to the home or office in terms of décor and there is a great variety to shop online. I have found US retailers, such as
afloral.com, with sales and free domestic shipping options during the holidays.

For International Shipping of Silk Flowers, Christmas wreaths and ribbon, they partner with Bongo International. Bongo provided me a US Street Address for $5 plus the international shipping. Many US websites don't provide overseas shipping or ship to a US PO Box. With Bongo you can shop some great decoration deals as well as get some early gifts checked off your to-do list.  Consolidate into one shipment with a monthly subscription. What an awesome service!
Check them out if you're an online shopper.

Afloral.com shipped me very high quality products. Bongo delivered them to my door in 4 days so I have no complaints. Oh in addition to their low maintenance appeal... artificial plants and silk
flowers do not produce any pollen or sap, so they are not a risk for any person who might have allergies to Christmas Trees and many flowers, like me : ) I'm a sneezer.
