The Kindness Kitchen

Explore the best ways to have a stress-free Thanksgiving holiday while maximizing your time with family and friends.

When you think of easy gift giving, you likely think of flowers, gift cards and balloons. While all of these gifts can be endearing, they can sometimes feel impersonal. Gifting a meal takes the experience – both for you and the recipient – to the next level.

When it comes to supporting new parents and those on the healthy pregnancy journey, gourmet meal gifts offer nourishment. These meals are a heartwarming way to help new parents and moms-to-be focus on what matters most: their family's well-being.

Dealing with the loss of a loved one is undoubtedly one of the most challenging experiences in life. When a work colleague is grieving, it can be difficult to find the right words or actions to offer comfort and support.

Mother's Day is just around the corner, and we at Instead of Flowers want to help you honor all the special women in your life. We can help you honor, celebrate and care for all the wonderful women in your life this year with meals that truly matter!

Sending a meal to someone is a thoughtful way of showing your appreciation and expressing your care for them. Whether it’s for a special occasion, new baby, birthday, sympathy, or just because you want to show someone you care - sending meals can be an invaluable gift that the recipient will surely love.

Sending sympathy is never easy. At Instead of Flowers, we love celebrating the good times, but also understand the importance of being there for people during the hard times. Our promise is that each meal will truly matter to the person who receives it. Send a little kindness from our kitchen.
