Flowers, especially roses, have traditionally been the go-to gift to show someone you care and that they’re on your mind. Incredibly, flower delivery services have been around for over a century.

In fact, gin actually gets its name from the Dutch word for juniper, genever. If Franciscus’ profession didn’t give it away, gin was originally made for medicinal purposes. The juniper berry — the key ingredient in gin — was distilled with spirits to produce a medicine with the diuretic properties of juniper-berry oil. Some say that there was a rise in patients with certain “ailments" because they wanted to try out this new medicine. ...
