These roses can last 3 years, and they're up to 50% off for Valentine's Day

I love receiving flowers as a gift. However, some of my girlfriends argue that anyone can pick up a last-minute bouquet for less than $20 at the grocery store, making them a low-effort purchase. So if it's the thought that counts, put a little more into it and order a flower arrangement in advance that shows you really care. Better yet, counter the argument that flowers don't last and get this box of roses that's guaranteed to look fabulous for up to three years. The Glamour Boutique 27-Piece Forever Flowers are one of Amazon's Lightning Deals right now, so they're 55% off — but not for long.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

Preserved flowers from other brands, like the Kardashian's favorite Venus et Fleur, cost hundreds of dollars. (The brand has a smaller, similar-looking arrangement for $379). The fact that this box is nearly a third of that already makes it a steal — but for $60, it's a shockingly good price. Just remember, this is a Lightning Deal. This means there are a limited number of floral arrangements available at this price. Once they're all claimed, the deal is done.

Why do I need this? 🤔

Flowers are a great gift, and with Valentine's Day coming up, you can't go wrong with a gorgeous box of long-lasting roses. Give them to your significant other or your best friend and they'll be very well-received.

Glamour Boutique uses a unique preservation process to make its premium roses last for one to three years at their peak beauty. (The brand notes that it uses only nontoxic and environmentally friendly chemicals.) Being that they're preserved, your recipient won't need to water them, trim the stems or do any maintenance. All they have to do is simply leave them in the box and admire them — that's it.

You can choose between seven colors of roses, including red, pink, white, purple and yellow. The boxes come in a range of sizes, from seven to 50 roses, starting at $30. We love the 27-piece arrangement because it feels full enough to display on the kitchen island or coffee table without it taking up too much room. It's something to consider, since this is more of a long-term piece of decor.

What reviewers say 💬

More than 1,800 Amazon shoppers give the Glamour Boutique roses a five-star rating.

Pros 👍

"I was pleasantly surprised!" wrote one impressed reviewer. "Flowers were beautiful and worth every penny. I will never order anywhere else again, especially for the price, you can’t go wrong!"

"This is my second time purchasing this item," said another. "The first was a gift for my niece three years ago, and her bouquet still looks great! Now I have one too."

One shopper mentioned that they shipped well and didn't show up all smushed. "My order arrived in great shape and looked very nice. An excellent simple gift that will last a long time."

Cons 👎

Some shoppers share that while the roses look fresh, they don't exactly smell like flowers after going through the preservation process.

"I’ve had these for over six months and they are still holding up well," shared another satisfied reviewer. "They did have a sort of chemical smell to them when they first arrived, but that has since faded... I have the Venus et Fleur roses which have lasted me over three years, smelled amazing, and they still look brand new, but they are much more expensive... This is an OK smaller alternative to those if that’s what you’re looking for."

Another added a simple solution: "They are beautiful flowers, however, they smell like paper. Everyone’s first reaction is to smell roses so maybe pick up some rose-scented spray before you gift to your wife."

If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)
