50 year Valentine’s Day pledge

In a bizarre retail initiative, Gift Flowers Hong Kong is willing to plan the next 50 Valentine’s Days in advance for everyone.

The Hong Kong online florist says it will deliver roses to their loved ones “for the rest of their lives, even when they are not around”.

“Each year, they will receive roses ordered from deceased loved ones. It will serve as a reminder of the love that has not died, even after all this time has passed.”

The service comes at a price – all paid in advance, of course: Ranging between $10,000 (for a single rose each year) and $100,000 (for a dozen).

Gift Flowers HK describes the initiative as a first for Hong Kong, saying it gives peace of mind to customers who want to ensure their loved ones receive flowers each year for the rest of their lives.

“Just like the movie ‘P.S. I Love You’, romantics will be able to send personalised messages to their lovers for ‘almost’ forever,” the company explains.

“True romantics will find comfort in Gift Flowers HK’s new service. Even for those who cannot spend Valentine’s Day with their significant other, Gift Flowers HK will allow those romantics to make an impression that shows the absent be present in spirit.
