Brandon Bruce
Founder & CEO of Food Not Flowers
After more than a decade in the catering industry, Food Not Flowers founder, Brandon Bruce, wanted to fill another void — this time, an emotional one. More specifically, the feeling behind why people send food as gifts.
“Finding a gift for someone during a big life moment — new baby, new home, surgery or bereavement — isn’t easy,” explains Bruce. “While flowers are thoughtful, they aren’t practical. And practical gifts don’t tend to give you the warm fuzzies.”
Bruce launched Food Not Flowers to redefine gifting – providing thoughtful and practical gifts for life’s big moments.
Bruce can be reached at [email protected] or 804-938-3663.
About Food Not Flowers
Food Not Flowers uses only quality, sustainable product — never frozen — making it easy to send fresh, healthy meals to people you care about wherever they are, whenever they need them.
And you can send curated gifts too – like bonsai tree growing kits, Five Minute Journals, soy candles and craft chocolate – to go with the meals.
“We not only want to celebrate big life moments, we want to feel part of them. As soon as you unwrap our box it feels special, but it’s also convenient and something practical you can really use. We don’t just send gifts, we send love.” More information at www.foodnotflowers.com.
