**Hey, Gorman! It’s Shanda! 🌸**

I wanted to share something exciting with y’all! I’m going to start making **gift baskets and silk flower arrangements right from my home!** ❤️PANDA'S GIFTS

I’ve really been missing my flower shop, and I’ve been thinking about giving this a try in the afternoons after I get home from my EDC job. I’m excited to see where this little adventure takes me!

Here are just a few things I’ll be offering to start with:
1ST HALLOWEEN BOO BASKETS
🎄 Christmas gift baskets\
🥶 **Brrr Baskets** for men and women\
🍎 Teacher appreciation gifts\
🎈 Birthday goodie bags for school, complete with helium balloons\
💐 Silk flower arrangements\cementery/house
🎁 And much more as I grow!

My goal is to offer **cute, thoughtful gifts at reasonable prices** so you can make someone’s day special without breaking the bank!

For now, I’ll be accepting **cash, checks, Venmo, PayPal, and Cash App.** I’ll also offer delivery to the school and around town in Gorman. NO CHARGING EVERYTHING WILL NEED TO BE PAID IN ADVANCED BEFORE DELIVERED.

I’m just getting started, so y’all stay tuned for pictures, ideas, and more details as I get everything going!

Thank you all for supporting local and helping me turn something I love back into a little business. I can’t wait to get started! ❤️🌷

**Keep Shanda in mind when you need a special gift for someone!** 🎁
