World's Oldest Valentine's Day Card

The Royal Mail has revealed images of what is thought to be the world's most expensive Valentine's Day card.

Dating back to 1790, the intricately designed Valentine Card filled with heartfelt messaging would get up to 4,000 Euros if auctioned. That is around $5,258 US dollars.

Today it is currently housed at the British Postal Museum and Archive and they have no plans of selling the card.
The card is a handmade puzzle which unfolds to reveal poetic messages. Very different from today's card with short messages in them.

Customer's Comments!!

Dear Mr. Raimondi,
I would like commend Jennifer Richardson for her exemplary customer service.
Upon returning from work on Monday, January 17, I found that my sister e-mailed with the sad news of a relative's funeral arrangements. It was past 5:30 pm as I read the details. Knowing that flowers would be appropriate, I quickly drove over to the Pikesville location of Raimondi's hoping to arrive before the store closed.
Much to my dismay, there were no customers present and the lights were being dimmed. It was 6pm. Suddenly, Ms Richardson appeared and saw me standing outside of the store. She opened the door and in a most friendly manner, proceeded to take my order for flowers and fruit basket. As I nervously eyed the clock on the wall, a bit anxious that I had caused her to work past the store's business hours, she gently admonished me in a humorous way, saying,"don't look at the clock, you're OK." The moment's tension quickly dissolved in our laughter, for she was most helpful. pleasant and quite expeditious in processing the order. It was especially comforting when she added, "I remember you."

In this troubled economy, when stress related to employment, earnings and spending , often subjects customer service to indifference, neglect and short tempers, it is most comforting to encounter staff members who make that extra effort. On that Tuesday, one could not have asked for better customer service than that provided by Ms. Richardson. Raimondi's is blessed to have such dedicated and customer friendly staff.

Thank you so much for all you help that evening Ms. Richardson. The family said that the flowers were beautiful, which is a response that I have come to expect when I send gift baskets or flowers from Raimondi's.

Sincerely,
William Kinsley

Wow, the flowers were absolutely gorgeous, breathtaking actually! Not only were we, the staff, impressed but the awards also were very unpressed and so very, very complimentary. Everyone was asking "who did the flowers". I can't tell you how many times i proudly answered that question. This was a first, but word spread and several employees who were not invitees came to the reception asking if they could take a peek at the flowers they heard so much about from their co-workers. Needless to say, they were a tremendous hit and enjoyed by everyone!

Thanks, Marie! Once again, your flowers were GORGEOUS! I've never seen folks get so excited over floral arrangements, but yours are definitely deserving of all the fuss :)

Thanks again for all your help and I look forward to the next time!

Dear Mr. Raimondi,

I'm writing to call your attention to the amazing work of one of your designers; and to congratulate her, and thank her, and you, for a terrific job. We're talking about Karen (wish I knew her last name) at the Liberty Rd. store. We came in with a funeral order for delivery on Palm Sunday... Also one day before Passover- on the day before we needed everything, which was a Saturday. Not only was she limited to what was on hand, we challenged her to create sleek, sophisticated and even plain-wacky arrangement(s) looking nothing like what was in the sales binder. The funeral, you see, was for someone who was a New York City event Producer and the style of the flowers just had to be right. Karen "got it" in a flash and achieved it with work that was spot-on, for which we are not only impressed, but grateful. She is uniqiquely talented and we just wanted to tell you so.

Dear Mr. Raimondi and Marie,

On behalf of the Pikesville High School Post Prom Committee and the Senior Class, we want to thank you for your extreme generosity. Because of you, 290 young adults were able to enjoy a fun-filled, drug and alcohol free Post Prom Party at the Owings Mills Sports Plex. With donations from parents and the community this event was completely free to our seniors and their dates.

Thank you again with sincere gratitude!

I needed a last minute arrangement delivered to a friend and Raimondis Florist took good care of me. They have a huge selection of flowers and the staff is extremely helpful.

Barbara,
I wanted to thank you for all of your help with the flowers for our event yesterday. They really turned out beautiful and having them there plenty early made my life so much easier with the setup. I had no worries this year!

Thanks again, and I will look forward to working with you again in the future.

Dar Raimondi's Staff,
Just a quick note here, to say "Thank You" for diong such a fine job with my floral order. I had requested delivery before 1:00PM, and the arrangement arrived before 1:00PM... if only the cable guy could be so punctual!

The arrangement was done in a brown wicker basket, with a plush jointed teddy bear included... just as the on-line store photo had shown. From what I have heard, not only was my girlfriend thrilled with the arrangement, so were all her co-workers in the office!

Have been using your professional floral services for many years now, and always receive glowing reviews on your arrangements.

Keep up the exceptional work!

Sincerely,
Richard McCullough
