BLEEMING MARVELOUS
Fresh flowers delivered at the touch of a button with Bleems By bazaar staff
Scrolling through social media often notifies us of that all-important birthday or anniversary we may have let slip from memory because of the busy lives we lead, perhaps a friend has just added to their family or passed a driving test. Presumably just clicking “like” or sending a digital message just isn’t enough to show your loved ones how much you care, or how guilty you feel for forgetting about their important milestone! There are so many occasions worthy of celebrating by sending flowers, and we may not always have the time to go down to the local florist, especially at a moment’s notice. What if you do visit the store of your choice and they’ve just sold out of the exact flowers you want? It’s Bleems to the rescue! Originally 965 Flowers and based only in Kuwait, this started as a service that allows the customer to peruse a number of options where loads of stores sit under the same banner. Instead of having to go to any number of websites, Instagram accounts and drive (or taxi) around looking for recommended flower shops, you just go to a one-stop online shop. Happily, 965 blossomed into Bleems and expanded into other area codes. Now customers can access the finest flowers available in Bahrain, UAE and Saudi Arabia too. This is more than a stroke of luck if you need to make your flower deliveries to friends, family and other loved ones in these areas. The whole process is effortless, as all you have to do is simply download the Bleems app and select which country you wish to send to. Click on the “Flowers” icon and here you can consider the entire menu available to you. It is possible to filter even further, choosing from the newest offerings to those within your specified budget, or even by flower or the name of the arrangement, if you have seen it somewhere before. Do you have a specific occasion in mind? The app has divided each and every flower arrangement into twelve useful sections such as Graduation, Housewarming and Congratulations for example, as well as “suitable for all occasions” and a “seasonal” section. Once you have clicked on the option you desire, the picture further opens up with a description of the flowers used in the bouquet. 64
