New Year's Flowers in Uruguay: Delivery Dates and Gift Ideas
New Year's Day flower delivery in Uruguay does not happen on January 1, because it is a public holiday and FlowersUruguay does not deliver on main public holidays. For New Year's 2027, order by 11:00 am Uruguay time on Thursday, December 31 for same-day delivery, or plan for Saturday, January 2, the first working day after the holiday. Bouquets start at USD 63.24, plus a flat USD 14.95 delivery fee.
When Is New Year's Day in Uruguay and Can Flowers Be Delivered on It?
Año Nuevo (New Year's Day) falls on January 1 and is a public holiday in Uruguay. In 2027, January 1 is a Friday. No flowers are delivered that day, so do not choose it as the delivery date, even if you place the order the night before.
Christmas follows the same rule. December 25, 2026 is a Friday and also a day without deliveries, so plan that date separately with our Christmas flowers guide.
New Year's Day Flower Delivery Dates: Which Days to Order
Only a few days around New Year's work for delivery. For 2027, the useful window runs from Thursday, December 31 through Saturday, January 2.
| Date | Day | Delivery status | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thursday, December 31, 2026 | New Year's Eve (Nochevieja) | Same-day if ordered before 11:00 am | Order in the morning |
| Friday, January 1, 2027 | Año Nuevo (New Year's Day) | No deliveries (public holiday) | Do not choose this date |
| Saturday, January 2, 2027 | Working Saturday | Same-day if ordered before 11:00 am | Order by 11:00 am |
| Sunday, January 3, 2027 | Sunday | No deliveries | Do not choose this date |
The site suggests ordering at least 2 to 3 days ahead for major dates. For New Year's, that means placing the order by Tuesday, December 29 if you want a safety margin. Ordering on December 31 works only if you place the order before 11:00 am Uruguay time.
How Does Same-Day and Next-Day Delivery Work Around the Holidays?
Orders placed before 11:00 am, Monday to Saturday, are delivered the same day in most areas. Orders placed later are delivered the next day. Around a holiday, that next day may be one with no service, so the order moves to the next working day.
For example, an order placed at 2:00 pm on December 31 would fall due on January 1, which is a holiday. The next available day is Saturday, January 2. An order placed at 9:00 am on January 2 arrives that same day.
You can write a preferred time in the delivery instructions. The florist tries to meet it, but exact time slots are not guaranteed, so avoid planning anything that depends on a specific hour. For more on sending from abroad, read how to send flowers to Uruguay from abroad.
Which Flowers and Gifts Suit a New Year's Gift in Uruguay?
The catalog has 152 bouquets, arrangements and plants. Cakes and food hampers are not sold, so choose from flowers, plants or the gift add-ons. You can browse everything in the flowers category.
For a table centerpiece, the Lavender Honey Bloom costs USD 68.99. For a larger gift, the Iridescent Rose Luxe costs USD 137.99. Both prices exclude the USD 14.95 delivery fee.
Add-ons include a box of chocolates, glass vase, plush teddy bear, greeting card, balloons and a wine bottle. A wine bottle or chocolates suit a host, and balloons add a festive touch. Skip the glass vase if the recipient already has one.
What Should a New Year's Card Say to Someone in Uruguay?
Every order includes a free printed card, so write the message when you order. If your recipient reads Spanish more comfortably than English, write the card in Spanish or include both languages.
"¡Feliz Año Nuevo!" means Happy New Year. "¡Feliz 2027!" works for a shorter greeting. Keep the message to the names of the people sending and receiving, one warm line, and the year.
What Information Does the Florist Need to Deliver to Any Address?
The florist needs three things: the recipient's name, the full address and a phone number so the delivery can be coordinated. Include building and apartment details in the address so the florist can find the right door.
Coverage spans all of Uruguay, so the same steps apply whether your recipient lives in Montevideo or Punta del Este.
To order, go to flowersuruguay.com, choose a bouquet from the flowers category, add any add-ons, enter the recipient details and your message, and pay in USD with Visa, Mastercard, American Express or PayPal. Orders are accepted from any country, so you can place yours from abroad and have it ready for January 2.
