1-800-Flowers.com® Blooms on Uber Eats, Making Gifting Easier This Mother’s Day

Today Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER) and 1-800-Flowers.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLWS) announced an expansion of their partnership that brings 1-800-Flowers’ iconic floral arrangements and gifts directly to the Uber Eats app—just in time for Mother’s Day. This collaboration builds on the companies’ existing relationship through Uber Direct, which powers same-day delivery for flower orders placed directly on 1-800-Flowers.com.

Starting today, customers in select markets can browse over 300 participating 1-800-Flowers.com local florist partners and order a curated selection of bouquets and gifts on Uber Eats, with on-demand and scheduled delivery options that make thoughtful gifting easier than ever. By this summer, the brands expect more than 500+ locations on the app.

A Fresh Way to Celebrate Mom

Bringing 1-800-Flowers.com, a longtime destination for meaningful gifts, to Uber Eats means a new, ultra-convenient way to send joy—especially for last-minute Mother’s Day celebrations. Flowers remain the top Mother’s Day gift, with shoppers expected to spend $3.2 billion on blooms in 2025*, according to the National Retail Federation. This year, 1-800-Flowers.com plans to deliver over 17.8 million stems, including 6.9 million roses and 2.8 million tulips.

“We’re always looking for new ways to deliver smiles, and this expanded partnership with Uber Eats helps us do just that,” said Jon Feldman, president of BloomNet® at 1-800-Flowers.com. “With Mother's Day around the corner, we're excited to make it even easier for people to celebrate the important women in their lives with beautiful, high-quality arrangements delivered quickly and reliably.”

Expanding Uber Eats’ Retail Gifting Offerings

The addition of 1-800-Flowers.com to Uber Eats highlights the platform’s continued investment in on-demand gifting and retail delivery. From fresh flowers and sweets to everyday essentials and specialty items, Uber Eats is evolving to meet a wide range of customer needs.

“Whether you're planning ahead or sending something special last-minute, Uber Eats is here to make meaningful gifting easier than ever,” said Hashim Amin, Head of Grocery and Retail at Uber, North America. “We’re thrilled to build on our existing relationship with 1-800-Flowers and offer even more ways for customers to show they care - starting with this Mother’s Day.”
