Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

FYI-Long rant. Ok, I ordered the red/orange 30 piece set. I just received them, and I absolutely HAD to leave a review. First of all, I was a little skeptical about how ‘real’ they could actually look and feel. However, I was extremely surprised, because even after reading some of the other reviews, I was still expecting them to look/feel like standard silk flowers, or for them to feel kind of ‘crunchy’. Nope. I have never seen/felt artificial flowers like this before!! They almost feel like they are made of a mix of a REALLY REALLY soft rubber and maybe like a moldable waxy substance. They are definitely ‘bendable’ but not fragile by any means. When I first opened the Amazon box, the flowers were packaged with a clear cellophane wrapper (like how you get flowers from a grocery store). Now, my husband is used to me having artificial plants/trees in the house (we get zero sunlight), so he is familiar with how they look/feel. When my husband came out and saw me opening the cellophane, he walked over and said, “Wow. Who sent you the flowers? Those are beautiful.” No joke, they really do look THAT real. I can’t rate the durability yet, but it definitely seems like they would last a VERY long time. I would for sure give more than 5 stars if I could. I will definitely be ordering more of these in different colors. UPDATE: So I wanted to get another set of the 30 piece tulips in white, but unfortunately Mandy’s only sold them in a bunch of 20 (or less). I made a HUGE mistake and purchased the real-touch tulips from a different seller who DID offer them in a bunch of 30. OMG, I immediately regretted doing so. The other ones were AWFUL!! There were globs of hot glue everywhere, and the tulip heads were separated from the stems. I immediately sent them back. So I just turned around and purchased two sets of 20 tulips from Mandy’s. I just got them yesterday, and once again, I couldn’t be more pleased! They are beautiful!! EVERYONE who has seen both the red/orange tulips, and the white tulips think they are real and ask where I got them from. I love that some of Mandy’s tulips even have the ‘slightly open’ look that shows the pollen, making them look even more realistic and natural! The white ones kind of have a funky smell at first, but it goes away after they have been out of the cellophane for a while. Other than that, I seriously cannot say enough positive things about these! Love Love Love!!
