Bloomsy Box

We’ll be straightforward: we at Bluedot don’t generally recommend sending flowers. They have a high cost in terms of carbon, water, labor, and more. But some people love receiving flowers so much that to deprive them of a Valentine’s or Mother’s Day bouquet would seem almost unkind. For them, we recommend Bloomsy Box.

Nature's Generator

A typical gas-powered generator is noisy, costs a lot to run, and spews pollution. That’s why we’re intrigued by Nature’s Generator, which makes solar generators that run silently and without fossil fuels. These generators are much better for the Earth than gas-guzzlers.
