Flowerama, 220 150th St W, Saint Paul, MN 55124, US

Part of the Flowerama of America chain, this store is one of two Twin Cities locations, both locally owned and operated. In addition to a colorful collection of fresh floral arrangements and potted plants, it offers an interesting selection of gifts, including kites, stuffed animals, greeting cards and a line of handmade jewelry designed by one of its employees. Seasonal and holiday items are a specialty; as Halloween approaches its parking lot fills with pumpkins, and it provides boutonnieres and corsages during dance season for several area high schools.
