It's hard to go wrong with flowers, but there are occasions when a bouquet might not be right, or you want a more creative way to let someone know you're thinking of them. Yes, many of the alternate options are edible (although you won't find a fruit bouquet in here!), but others are just plain fun. Bonus: we can guarantee none of them will die after a few days.

1 Candy

Candy

Anyone with a sweet tooth will appreciate candy delivered to their door, especially if they've already received a few bouquets for their big day. SugarWish lets the recipient choose exactly which sweets they want included!

4 A Personalized Card

A Personalized Card

We all forget to send cards every now and then, so next time you're about to miss a milestone, skip the store and send online. Scribbler has hundreds of options for every occasion and lets you customize with the recipient's name and a personal note inside.

5 Cheese

Cheese

When you can't be there for a big event but you want to contribute, consider sending a cheese board. Murray's Cheese Shop is an NYC staple that can send carefully crafted sets of cheeses and snacks across the country in just one day.

6 Crafts

Crafts

Sure, Seedling's cute packs are intended for kids, but there's no reason an adult wouldn't also appreciate a hands-on craft to help them celebrate or get through a tough time.

7 Alcohol

Alcohol

Companies like Saucey and Drizly make it easy to cheers from afar by sending beer, wine, and liquor. Some will even deliver the goods within an hour!
