Al-lin's Floral & Gifts

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow. If I could give more than five stars for both the service and the sheer level of public humiliation Mitch experienced, I absolutely would! Let me tell you about the most hilarious, cringe-worthy day ever at Al-Lin’s Floral & Gifts. So my brother Mitch, poor guy, lost a bet and had to face his worst nightmare. He had to prance into Al-Lin's dressed as a ballerina—yes, a full-blown pink tutu, white tights, frilly ruffled bottoms, feather boa, and all. You can imagine the look on his face when he stepped inside the shop! His mortification was palpable, and the staff could not contain their laughter (not that I blame them). They welcomed him with open arms and, more importantly, wide smiles as they set the stage for what was to become the most embarrassing day of his life. Mitch thought he’d be in and out quickly, but the Al-Lin’s team had other plans. They didn’t just let him quietly buy his flowers and escape—oh no. They had Mitch perform the “I’m a Little Teapot” routine, complete with the whole tip-me-over-and-pour-me-out bit! The poor guy turned bright red as they had him pose in front of the shop sign, waving to traffic like he was in some kind of absurd ballet performance. Cars were honking, people were laughing, and I swear Mitch wanted to melt into the ground. But it didn’t end there! The staff made sure everyone saw his ballet debut by posting the whole event on social media. And to add insult to injury, Linda from the shop commented on how “adorable” Mitch looked in his frilly ruffled bottoms! I’ve never seen him so embarrassed in his life. He tried to play it cool, but you could see the defeat in his eyes as he twirled around, clutching his bouquet, knowing this would follow him forever. Now, as much as Mitch wanted to forget that day, I have to say, the flowers he picked out were absolutely stunning. The staff really knows their stuff! They helped Mitch pick out the perfect bouquet—beautifully arranged, fresh, and fragrant. Even through his shame, he admitted the flowers were top-notch and the service was amazing. The team was so friendly and helpful, even if they were laughing at him the entire time. I can't recommend Al-Lin’s Floral enough, whether you’re looking for gorgeous flowers or a chance to see your sibling mortified beyond belief. The staff has a great sense of humor, and they really know how to make a memorable experience. Mitch might be too traumatized to return, but the staff told us that Mitch made their day and he HAS to return next time he's in town (but only if he comes as a ballerina again!!) 😂 P.S. Mitch still hasn’t lived this down—and pictures are attached to prove it!

We had purchased a corsage from another florist.. When we picked it up, we weren’t happy with the results. Flowers were very small, and almost wilted. I ran into Al-lins in a panic, he stopped what he was working on and made a new corsage. I was SO thankful for them! Especially with it being so last minute. Great customer service!

Long overdue review- Al-Lins has excellent customer service. I had contacted them after receiving flowers for Valentine’s Day that were subpar. The owner called me and assured me they would make it right, as they were using a new supplier. I have gotten flowers before from them, so it was surprising my flowers were wilted and just not their usual quality. I attributed it to Valentine’s Day rush, but they really did go out of their way to make sure I was happy. The owner personally delivered a new bouquet to me a few days later and they were beautiful and fresh. Very happy how it was handled and will continue using them.

Warm and friendly service with a magical touch. Both arrangements have been beautifully done! Thank you for the masterpieces on such short notice and going that extra mile for a stranger. I won't go anywhere else.

Thank you so much for going out of your way to get our arrangement to the funeral. You went above and beyond our expectations not only on making the arrangement like we wanted, but with your awesome service!

Came to get a birthday arrangement for my mother. Ended up having a wonderful conversation with AL and Linda, made a decision, and continued talking, Everything St. John's. Great Floral and Gift shop close to home.

Very happy with the delivery and service provided. And lovely arrangement for my friends birthday!

Lin the person I talked to was over the top helpful !!!!! My husband and I and I live on the other side of town from the flower shop in Chesterfield, Mi. Our daughter had been operated on the day before and we wanted to send her flowers from a flower shop in St Johns where she lives with her husband. I checked on line there was only 2 flowers shops, I picked Al_Lins Floral & Gifts, from that moment everything went smooth and my worries were over......................... Lin could tell I was sad living so far from our daughter. My husband and I are in our late 70s. Lin made every effort to get this beautiful flower arrangement to our daughter asap. First she suggested that we pick out the flowers by sending a picture on our phone, and than after she created the beautiful arrangement she sent us a picture again to let us see it before it went out for delivery. How's that for the best customer service Thank You Again, Al-Lins Floral & Gifts Barbara & Paul

Great place, Awesome flowers and gifts, very fair prices and friendly people!!

I called looking for daffodils in a hurry. They are my mom’s favorite flowers. My mom is in hospice care & time was not on my side. The wonderful lady who took my call did not have any & was unable to get them right away. She told me to come to her store & she would pick her own storefront flowers for my mom…. The kindness, empathy & generosity she showed was immeasurable… I will never forget. It is not often that I am taken aback by truly lovely human beings…. She was a blessing when I needed it… Thank you from the bottom of my heart! 🌼💕🙏🏼😊

Nothing but positive experiences every time I go to Al-Lin's. They are always friendly and egar to help. They create GREAT floral arrangements for all occasions. Couldn't ask for a better florist.

Most spectacular arrangement thank you.

On the spur-of-the-moment I pulled in and went inside the store. Wonderful little shop I was able to buy 2 items In memory of a family member who had passed. I like the store I like the quality I like the flowers and I definitely will be shopping here again.

They always have the cutest stuff and then I end up buying all the MSU stuff they have. These two are the sweetest and most friendly people. Oh, and don't forget Harvey....the coolest and funniest Golden Doodle. If it's your first time or 100th time going there, you are like family. Amazing place and amazing people.

The team here at Al-Lins provided our wedding party with the most beautiful butonniere and bouquets. Simply stunning. Thank you so much.

I needed an arrangement last minute, same day, and Al-Lin’s Floral and Gifts was the only place in town and the surrounding area that would help and give me the time of day. Thank you for reminding all of us what small, hometown hospitality looks and feels like.

Excellent customer service! Very easy to work with. Thank you!

It's nice to know when I call to order flowers from you, no matter the occasion, I know a beautiful arrangement will be sent. Thank you Al-Lin's, thank you!

My husband has bought me flowers twice in the last month from here and each arrangement has been beautiful!!!

We had the most beautiful flowers for my daughters wedding and the kindest customer service and personal touch we could have ever asked for!!

Al-Lin did a wonderful job with our flowers! They did centerpieces, a bouquet, corsages and boutenires for our small wedding ceremony and the flowers turned out so beautifully. We only had a few weeks to plan and Al-Lin was able to accommodate our short time frame.

This place is Wonderful!!! Al and Linda do a Great job with flowers and the shop has tremendous inventory for gifts and home decorating for the seasons. I'd really encourage folks to check it out. Also, you have to say hi to Harvey, the resident goldendoodle.

Awesome little local flower and gift shop. They make awesome arrangements and have a ton of unique and locally made items. Delivery available too!

Al Lin's put together a beautiful arrangement for us for our neighbor's visitation. A sad occasion but it was made tastefully better. Al-Lins delivered them at the right time and the flowers looked perfect.
