Customer service left a lot to be desired. Rude, not welcoming at all. Doesn't want to provide receipts to customers unless they have a cell phone. I was told that no one wants receipts anymore. I did, but none was provided. read more

Love going here when I need to make a bouquet! They offer punch cards for every purchase. There's generally a great selection of flowers to choose from, I do wish there was a wider range of wrapping. I prefer brown minimalistic paper, it's a bummer it isn't offered! The gal up front is nice and helpful when you ask for suggestions. They do a good job at rearranging the flowers for you. read more

Very disappointing after picking Gliffiord's online. They delivered the most hideous color, clumsy, arrangement to my daughter-in-law her first baby was born yesterday evening. Blue on a baby arrangement should traditionally be baby blue. No words to describe. I'll just post the picture. read more

Gifford's Flowers - Florists Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Best service at any flower shop! Fantastic pricing and the flower arrangement delivered was fresh and beautifully presented!

Another exemplary floral delivery. Not sure if I'm just getting lucky but I have never had any issues with Giffords. They are literally my go to florist in Portland. I've been using them for four years and I have had the best customer service and flowers delivered. I call in, give them my name, they pull up my account and I tell them a price point, confirm my recipient and card number and I am good to go. Sometimes I even put in special requests for an early morning delivery or no specific flower because the fragrance is too strong etc, and they do what they can. On a side note, I worked in the floral industry for over 15 years, and a good florist understands is sympathetic and empathetic and takes pride in their work. Florists are their for important days in your lives. Funerals, weddings, first dates, birthdays, anniversaries etc. And I back this florist 100 percent. You should too. read more

The flowers we sent to our daughter were absolutely gorgeous! So fresh. One week later they still look fresh picked from a flower field. After calling around the prices were the best. read more

My boyfriend buys my floral arrangements from here all the time and the flowers are absolutely gorgeous! Every time I'm left in awe of the beauty. I'm a big flower lover and so I can say without a doubt that these flowers are well worth the prices. Also when I maintain them they last for a very long time. Even when I don't maintain them the flowers still last a week or two. I always feel like the arrangements are so different and special compared to what you find in stores. I high recommend! read more

Gifford's Flowers - Just received flowers today and they are wilted and brown. - Florists Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The only florist of 5 that I called in downtown Portland that answered their phone at 11:30am on a Saturday. Wonderful customer service on the phone! Thorough and accommodating, sweet and funny personality. Just what you want when you are ordering flowers! The arrangement was beautiful, and was well received by the recipient and they managed to complete a somewhat complicated delivery to Departure at the Nines. Well done! And thanks! read more

What can I say? I wanted to love this place so much! I love how they put their flowers out on the sidewalk during the day, the staff is friendly and has always been helpful, and their delivery was quick. So why three stars? In nearly every instance I've ordered flowers from Gifford's they've wilted and died within days (in some cases a day) of ordering them. The most recent example is this Valentines Day. I spent $60 on flowers hand picked by the florist herself. I basically told her what kind I liked, and she picked them. I purchased the flowers at about 4 PM and by 6 PM the next day they were wilting - 3 days later and they were all dead. Normally I'd chalk this up to a fluke, but this experience has happened a few times now with Gifford's Flowers. I really like the staff, location, and selection. If they could just get fresher flowers and lower their prices a bit, this would easily be a 5-star review. read more

My sweetie works in downtown Portland, and I hadn't gotten her flowers in a while. She's a little picky when it comes to floral arrangements and I went through some time and effort learning exactly what she likes. I found Gifford's Flowers here on Yelp and liked what I read so I gave them a try. The person on the phone was very helpful and a great listener. She understood exactly what I wanted and gave me a range of price options. I ordered the flowers last Thursday for pickup on Tuesday morning around ten-thirty, gave her my credit card info, and that was that. I showed up closer to nine on Tuesday but the arrangement was ready and since I paid in advance I could leave immediately. The arrangement was exactly as described and was even protected from the weather with some plastic and cardboard. I walked down the street to deliver the arrangement. My sweetie loved it. Absolutely positively loved it. Every flower was one of her favorites, and they smelled wonderful together. All of her coworkers liked them, too. I will definitely be using Gifford's Flowers the next time I want to surprise my sweetie at work with flowers. I think you should too! read more

Ordered flowers for a girlfriend. Was a little worried about ordering "blindly" as the last experience sending flowers from afar was overpriced and absolutely dreadful ($70 for carnations? The company isn't even listed on Yelp... should have known). But, as soon as Tina answered the phone, I was immediately comforted by her customer service skills and pleasant tone. The process was seamless and the whole thing was done within 5 minutes. She didn't even judge me when I dictated the ridiculous text to be written on the card. Bonus! Experience thus far? So far, so good... read more

I stopped at Gifford's today to buy flowers to take to a friend's house on Thanksgiving. I told the clerk what my budget was and asked what options I had within it. In the five minutes I was in the store we failed to communicate. I tried to be cooperative, but failed to satisfy her. No, she saying in response to every question I asked--no, no, no. Her colleague provided no additional clarification or assistance. It was an unpleasant experience and I left without making a purchase. I've bought plants and cut flowers here for the past few years I've lived in the neighborhood. The shop has a great inventory, but seems to be managed by staff who don't like customers or want to help them. What a shame. read more

I'm pretty sure the gentleman who offered to help me with an arrangement wasn't a professional. He attempted to help me with my first selection of flowers but it wasn't quite coming together. I figured the problem was my selections, since I'm not a professional, so I told him to put together his own arrangement and I'd wait inside. The two ladies behind the register asked if I needed help and I told them that the gentleman outside was attempting to help me but that I didn't like the first try. They kinda shrugged it off, one walked away while the other proceeded to do stuff on the register. I'm just not used to such poor customer service these days so I went back outside because the over all feel was poor. When I saw the next arrangement the gentleman came up with, it was awful. So I left. Very unfortunate experience since there are not that many flower shops downtown. read more

I love that they open early on Saturdays. I live on the east coast and needed to order some flowers for my Grandmother in Portland on Mother's Day. I googled different flower shops in Portland but only Gifford's picked up the phone early Saturday morning Portland time. In addition to the great hours, the lady on the phone was also very patient in explaining to me the various pricing and designs. I feel like they really went above and beyond for their customers. The flowers were scheduled to be delivered on Sunday - and given that I placed the order on Saturday, that was reasonable. Gifford's actually delivered the flower on Saturday afternoon. In addition, because my grandmother is only young at heart, they agreed to provide notification once the flowers were delivered so I can make sure she gets them. Gifford's not only called and tried to leave a voicemail for my grandmother ("tried" since my granny doesn't know how to delete voicemail messages so her box is always full), they also emailed me afterwards to let me know the flowers were delivered and the voicemail inbox was full. In terms of design, I asked for Designer's Choice, and Gifford's did not disappoint. The flowers were beautiful - not the generic designs you see on the 1800 websites. My Portland family enjoyed the slightly edgy presentation - I heard it was a nice conversation piece. All and all great job, and thanks!! read more

The most incredible arrangement artists with high quality products. Tried and true for many years! Unique, high class style and my go to florist for special gifts. read more

Wonderful experience at Gifford's Flowers today. Picture this scenario: 1) It was the day of my two-year wedding anniversary. 2) I had nothing planned to give (i.e. a gift, make dinner, plans to take my wife out). Well, actually, you don't need to picture it - it happened to me today. I was walking to meet my wife for lunch (after quickly coming up with that idea and knowing she had some free time). However, we have lunch together about once a week... so lunch in and of itself wasn't anything special. Luckily, I walked by Gifford's Flowers on the way there. And they saved the day for me. While surveying their flower varieties, I was approached by a cheery worker who asked what I was looking for. I told her it was my two-year wedding anniversary and needed something around the $20 price range with my wife's wedding colors in mind. And the gal put together a bouquet that was exactly that. I'll keep Gifford's Flowers in mind whenever the need to surprise my wife with flowers pops into my head. read more

I walked into this classic looking florist, adequately hidden beneath a group of shady trees. Inside, I was greeted by two very friendly associates, one of whom helped me find exactly what I was looking for. I was looking for a Hawaiian flower that I could wear in my hair. Not only was I shown their beautiful and high quality array of fresh Hawaiian flowers, but the gal that helped me even helped me choose the perfect flower bulb to wear in my hair. Then, she took it upon herself to take my flower to the back and wire-wrap accordingly so that it could be pinned in my hair. While she was doing this, the other gal who worked there gave me a little tour of the store and showed me what flowers were in season! Then they sprayed my flower, wrapped it in a cute little box, and told me how to care for it so that I could wear it the next day. Not bad for only $5!!! :]] read more

Pretty disappointed in Gifford's today. My husband has been ordering flowers from them for 7 years. I absolutely love every bouquet I've ever received, so much that we drive downtown to get them now that we've moved. We order the same thing every time, "a white, purple and blue bouquet, between $50-$60." They're large, beautiful bouquets every single time. The flowers always vary and require a huge vase, and often continue to bloom on the counter. I decided to order from Gifford's for my mom for Mother's Day this year, and sat in traffic to and from while i5 was closed just to get there. I was disappointed in the bouquet to say the least. It is significantly smaller than normal, and with much cheaper flowers (carnations) and some (white roses) even browning already. We likely won't be coming back. I get it, it's Mother's Day, but you should have the same standards holiday or not. Now on to look for a new flower shop. read more

I have always used Giffords for my floral needs. I used to live in Portland, but have been living in Dallas for the past 6 years. When I went to order Mother's Day flowers this year I could not remember the name of Giffords florist so I simply went online to Teleflora to place an order. I placed the order on the 11th of the month for Mother's Day delivery of the 14th. I received an email the morning of the 14th from Teleflora stating that they could not fulfill my order - needless to say, I was FURIOUS! I searched through my credit card statements from last year to figure out the Giffords florist name... I called them on Sunday morning 11 AM on MOTHER'S DAY and asked if they could help. The girl on the phone was as sweet as she could be and they actually filled my order and is going to have it delivered today. They really pulled my butt from the fire, since this was for my Mother-in-Law. Thank you GIFFORDS! I will forever have you bookmarked in Safari so I don't lose track of you! read more

Gifford's Flowers - The ACTUAL order that was delivered - GORGEOUS and spot on! I couldn't be happier - thank you Giffords! - Florists Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I can't even give them 1 star. Very disappointed. I went in to pick out an arrangement to be delivered on valentine's day and they decided to deliver them 2 days early. And their option they gave me was to go and take them back from the person and deliver flowers that weren't as fresh on valentine's day. Thank you for ruining my ladies day. read more

I walked in looking for a bouquet for a work event and found exactly what I needed. The service was super fast and the woman who put the arrangement together had a great eye. All I said was "under 50 dollars" and she went to work, pulling gorgeous seasonal blooms. I can't speak to their delivery or their vase prices but, for beautiful flowers on the quick, I definitely recommend! read more

I live in CA so I used Yelp to help me deliver flowers to a special someone in Portland. I wanted something local so I chose this. Staff was super helpful and the flowers were gorgeous. If I ever need to send them to that special someone again I will definitely use Giffords!! :) read more

paid $265 for a bouquet, a few cake flowers and 2 arrangements...what we got was a nice bouquet and two buckets with flowers in them. I guess we do the arrangements? Doesn't sound right to me. read more

It was super easy to order online that it almost felt too good to be true. I ordered flowers for my sister the night before I wanted them delivered. From the picture she sent me, they looked gorgeous! I put in my special request to have them delivered before 3 in case she left early from work. They got there before lunch. How awesome is that?? Thanks Gifford's Flowers! read more

Stopped here on a weekday morning & was kindly greeted outside upon walking up to the front door. Explained I was looking for 3 small bunches of delicate-looking flowers w/ filling to put on a reception table. Gal was super helpful, creative & quick! She pulled & created what would have taken me hours of envisioning. $20 for 3 beautiful small bunches that lasted over a week, filling would have lasted longer. Their shop has a wide selection of produce and lots of container options too. There was a beautiful Thanksgiving bouquet sitting on the counter that was breathtaking. Fellas this would be a good place to give them a dollar amount & let them do their thing to make your lil ladies day! Or leave on my doorstep, I'll gladly take them. read more

What a a horrible experience! My family is in the floral business, so I know what to expect from a good florist. I went in here to grab a quick arrangement for my mother when she was in town, and I received horrible service! When I walked in the lady at the register completely dismissed me. I asked her for some help and her response was "well go find whatever flowers you mom likes." I then went up to another floral assistant and politely told her how no one seemed to want to help me, and this lady insisted she'd get to me "soon." She threw together an average arrangement that consisted of a few flowers off the floor. (Personally I could have thrown together a much better pick of flowers had I known she was only going to go on the floor, throw a few flowers together, and charge me 30bucks.) I was disappointed in the service and the arrangement. It was completely overpriced for what it was. There was a couple of Lilys and the rest was cheap leaves and fillers. So disappointing. I do not recommend going here. There are much better florist in Portland. Go somewhere where they want your business! read more

I ordered a gift basket for same day delivery. I was nervous after ordering because it needed to get to the recipient on that day. I did the order on-line, but called the shop. The person was SO nice! She checked everything and assured me that it would be delivered....she even said that she'd call to let me know everything was all set. It is great to know that nice people still exist! read more

Giffords Flowers was a floral life saver! We were referred to their business from our wedding coordinator and they did not disappoint. We had already booked a florist but did not learn until later on that they could not deliver the items to the venue and we actually had to pick up the flowers the night before. Since my husband and I were coming from out of state with limited assistance, this was not going to work well for us. Giffords Flowers was able to price match, deliver, setup, and even provided tips and suggestions for the selection of arrangements. Laura helped us to pick flowers that would work within our budget and be as close to the pictures we provided as possible. She even helped to steer us away from choices that had too much pollen and could stain our clothing. They were super affordable, helpful, and compassionate of our situation. I would definitely recommend them! read more

I needed a flower arrangement and they were the closest flower shop to my hotel so I called in my bouquet and arrived to pick up a simple yet perfect arrangement. The lady was completely understanding of my request and had it ready within 15 minutes. read more

I'm bummed to be giving them 3 stars. I've always had a good experience until the other day when I called to order flowers. The lady that took the call was rude, condescending and acted as if I was inconveniencing her. I actually ended up not placing my flower order due to that! What a bummer to have this experience....Too bad for them, though! read more

I have ordered flowers from Gifford's for years and have been satisfied but recently I have been unbelievably let down by the level of service and quality of product. First, my boyfriend went in to try and order me a Valentine's surprise and since we live together he wanted them to deliver them six blocks away to my office. When I received my flowers the day before Valentine's day he recounted for me the ridiculous run-around he was given and knowing what he spent and then seeing the small display that I was sent he was irrate. Not only were they not helpful in trying to help him in this surprise but it seemed that they threw something small together just to appease him. They told him that they were just too busy for him and that there was no way to have them delivered on Valentine's day. Again, I work literally down the street 6 blocks away, thus I got my flowers on the wrong day. Second, just to give them another opportunity I went down this past weekend to pick out a bouquet for my apartment. I spent $30 putting together an array of different flowers. Immediately after purchasing, I brought them to my apartment, trimmed them under water as recommended and put them in a vase with water and their plant food. In less than 24 hours the flowers were all wilting, the hydrangeas were dead, the calla lilies were brown around the edges and everything else just looked tired. This was the biggest waste of $30 of my life and I will not be buying flowers there ever again. read more

My boyfriend just had flowers sent to my work as a surprise, and boy, were they beautiful! He said he did it all over the phone, and however he described it, they got it spot on! It was an incredibly fragrant lily and orchid display. Exotic and fresh! I've gotten compliments on them all day. I couldn't be happier! read more

I just received a bouquet from my husband for my birthday. It is gorgeous! It has a lot of character, with bright and unusual flowers. My husband told them to make something special, and they totally did. We've had bad luck in the past with all the proflowers, 1800flowers places, with crappy quality and service. Now we have an all local place to support! read more

Visiting Portland for the first time and found this lovely shop. They have a very high quality shop and great customer service.

I always have a great experience at Gifford's. The staff is friendly and helpful. Great selection!

Received new floral arrangement last week as promised. These flowers have lasted much longer. Very happy!

This is my go to place for flowers in Portland. They have a great selection of flowers. I just love walking by and stopping in the shop. Everyone that works there is very outgoing. Just this weekend I picked up a bouquet of purple lilacs that I have sitting on my kitchen counter. Portland wouldn't be the same without Giffords.. read more

Around a week ago my boyfriend ordered me flowers for my birthday from Gifford's Flowers. He told them a little about me and they created a handcrafted arrangement that got many compliments from my coworkers. I never expected such a wonderful arrangement, and it absolutely made my day. Although, that isn't the only reason I like the flowers so much as said flowers are still adorning my desk, and looking almost as perfect as they did on the 5th, which really testifies to their quality. Thank you Gifford's Flowers and I plan to use their services again, along with highly recommending their business. read more
