Royer’s Flowers Hosts Valentine’s Day Media Event

Posted on by Amber
Valentine’s Media Day 2025

We hosted our Valentine’s Day Media Event on February 7, giving local news stations a chance to get a behind-the-scenes look at Royer’s Flowers and Gifts preparation process for the big holiday.

Geoff Royer, Vice President of Production and Product Development, was in attendance to talk about how we prepare to serve thousands of Central Pennsylvania customers for Valentine’s Day.

“The trick to it is staying organized and being ahead,” said Geoff Royer, Royer’s Flowers and Gifts Vice President of Production and Product Development.

We will be delivering about 10,000 flower arrangements on Feb. 14 and 5,000 on Feb. 13. We will also serve thousands of more people at our 16 locations.

It is a full-team effort to ensure everything goes smoothly for Valentine’s Day. Our dedicated staff is working around the clock to ensure that everything is ready for the big day.

“Giving flowers and being involved in people’s emotions is always something that we’ve taken very seriously,” said Geoff Royer, Royer’s Flowers and Gifts Vice President of Production and Product Development. “We consider it an honor to be a part of that; that people are choosing us to help convey their emotions.” 

All locations will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Feb. 13 and Feb. 14.

We can’t wait to help you make it a special Valentine’s Day for your loved one(s)!

Royer’s Kids Club offering free ‘spooky succulents’ with first virtual event

Posted on by Neal

Children of an earlier time did the monster mash. The Royer’s Flowers & Gifts Kids Club has an updated take on Halloween: spooky succulents.

The kids club is celebrating the season with its first virtual event, offering free take-home kits that will allow children ages 5 to 12 to decorate a Halloween tin with a succulent plant.

Kits include a tin decorated with a jack-o-lantern, mummy or Dracula; two-inch succulent; cellophane for lining the tin; instruction sheet with QR code linking to a video with assembly and plant-care tips; and a Halloween coloring sheet.

Kits must be reserved at royers.com/kidsclub while supplies last, limit three per family. In-store pickup of the kits will be available Oct. 19-24.

Royer’s is encouraging moms and dads to send photos of their child’s completed project to kidsclub@royers.com for sharing on social media.

Royer’s Flowers invites public to name new fall arrangement

Posted on by Neal

If hot summer weather doesn’t make you yearn for fall, then Royer’s Flowers & Gifts’ annual name-the-arrangement contest surely will.

The new all-around arrangement features an autumnal color palette: lavender glass vase, orange rose and orange carnations, purple statice, red alstroemeria, sunflower. It measures 14 inches high and 11 inches wide.

The arrangement has a product number, but Royer’s is asking for help with a name.

One winner and one runner-up will be selected from entries received by Royer’s and its sister company in Columbus, Ohio. Both the winner and runner-up will receive the arrangement (retail value $34.99) as their prize.

The arrangement will debut this fall and will be available in all stores and as part of Royer’s direct-ship program serving the Lower 48 states.

To view the arrangement and enter the contest, visit royers.com/contest. Limit one entry daily per email address, through Aug. 5.

Royer’s collecting cards and coloring pages for ‘Holidays for Heroes’ in November

Posted on by Neal

Royer’s Flowers & Gifts will collect holiday cards and coloring pages for service members and veterans throughout November as the company continues its decade-long affiliation with the American Red Cross “Holidays for Heroes” program.

Items may be dropped off at any Royer’s store during normal business hours. Free coloring pages can be downloaded at royers.com.

The Red Cross offers these guidelines for preparing cards:

  • Use generic salutations: “Dear Service Member” or “Dear Veteran”
  • Be thoughtful with messages, expressing reasons why you are thankful for the service members/veterans; if you have a personal connection, such as a family member who served, consider adding that
  • Try not to be overtly religious, but messages such as “Merry Christmas” or “God Bless You” are acceptable
  • Do not include inserts such as glitter, photos, business cards
  • Do not include personal information such as telephone number, address or email
  • Sign your name

In January, it’s a tip-top time to tip-toe through the tulips

Posted on by Neal


Tulips arrived in Western Europe in the late 1500s from their native Turkey, looking unlike anything else on the continent.
As an import, they “commanded the same exoticism that spices and Oriental rugs did,” according to Investopedia.com.
And by the first part of the 1600s, the rarest bulbs traded for as much as six times the average annual salary. This phenomenon came to be known as “tulip mania.”
The allure of tulips remains strong centuries later. Royer’s celebrates tulips every year at this time. Our annual tulip promotion runs through Jan. 31 with a combination of specials and everyday value.

10 stems for $8.99

For $8.99, you can pick up a 10-stem “grower’s bunch” that’s regularly priced at $14.99. Two bunches are $16.99.

Handful bouquets with free local delivery

The tulip promotion also includes free delivery on our hand-tied handful bouquets, available with 15 tulips ($25) or 25 tulips ($39.99) and accents of limonium.

$59.99 shipped anywhere in continental U.S.

There are places called Tulip in seven states, but you can send 15 boxed tulips anywhere in the continental United States for $59.99 as part of our direct-ship program.

New Vintage Tulips collection

Our new Vintage Tulips arrangements are available in four sizes and come with three (pink or purple vase), 10, 20 or 40 mixed color tulips (colors will vary). New this year, each arrangement features accents of dusty miller and wax flower for a more vintage/Victorian feel compared with the country look of previous years.
Emily Mallis, Royer’s marketing manager, noted that dusty miller “is soft and slightly fuzzy and is a lighter green with some silver tones or maybe a white dusting.” Wax flower, she said, “has a beautiful fragrance when cut or touched.”
The Vintage Tulips line ranges from $16.99 to $89.99 and can be picked up at any of our 16 area stores or delivered within our market area.
As a hardy, affordable symbol of perfect love, tulips also are a popular option for Valentine’s Day.
Perhaps you’ve heard the entertainer Tiny Tim, singing in a falsetto and strumming a ukulele, performing “Tiptoe Through the Tulips.”
The lyrics include:
“Knee deep in flowers we’ll stray
We’ll keep the showers away
And if I kiss you in the garden
In the moonlight, will you pardon me?
And tip-toe through the tulips with me”
