🚨 PSA for HOCO 2025 🚨
Please, mamas—do your homework before ordering! 🙏 I’m already starting to see the posts and I get several last minute calls each year to corrct these! There are so many horror stories of people handing over $$$ to some random lady on Facebook only to end up with 10 sad ribbons, a misspelled name, and a kid in tears.
📖 The following is a true story from Homecoming’s past.
(The names have been changed to protect the innocent…)
You saw the post on Facebook—“Custom mums, cheap!” The pictures looked Pinterest-perfect, and her profile showed grandkids and a quilted Bible verse meme, so obviously she was legit, right?
You Venmo her $125. She says, “No problem.”
You text her a week later. She says, “No problem.”
You tell her you need it before the parade. “No problem.”
Finally, Wednesday after school she says it’s ready. You send your teenage son to pick it up because you’re drowning in life. He comes back with… a flower that’s already falling apart.
☠️ Maybe 10 ribbons total.
💩Some look like they were recycled from birthday gift bags.
⛄️ Is that a random Christmas ornament dangling down the side?
🎀 “Homekoming 2025” spelled across the middle.
And who the hell is Tom? His girlfriend’s name is Tracy.
Now the seller’s ghosting you, your son’s girlfriend breaks up with him, and he declares his life is over. He quits football, starts wearing black eyeliner, and now spends his nights locked in his room blasting Nickelback and reading conspiracy books about lizard people marrying cats. 🐊🐈

✨ Moral of the story? HOCO is stressful enough—don’t let a Pinterest scam be the reason your kid spirals into eyeliner and aliens. Order from someone who actually delivers. 😉
✔️ Ask for references.
✔️ Look for repeat customers.
✔️ Make sure you’ll see the finished product BEFORE pickup.
🔥This is what I offer!🔥
• I’ve got years of experience and customers who come back year after year because they know I deliver.
• I send you a picture of YOUR finished mum before you ever pick it up—no surprises, no scams, no Pinterest knock-offs.
• You don’t pay in full until you pick up, because my work is guaranteed. Love it or I’ll fix it until you do.
• I charge fair prices—because kids are expensive enough without you needing to drop a grand just to survive homecoming.
✨ In a world full of “no problem” scammers, I’m the one who actually delivers. ✨
