Trader Joe’s aficionados are well aware that the retailer is more than just a grocery store. It’s a treasure trove of sought-after plants, skincare products, and home decor. For floral enthusiasts and devoted shoppers, there’s great news this month: Trader Joe’s viral wood reed flowers have made a comeback, ready to meet all your autumn decor needs.
Instagram content creator Trader Joe’s Obsessed (@traderjoesobsessed) couldn’t contain her excitement about the product’s return in an October 24 post, proclaiming, “Beautiful Reed flowers! I love that they last forever.”
Instagram users echoed the sentiment, with one writing, “Those are gorgeous,” and another happily sharing, “I scored a ton of these the other day.”
Trader Joe’s wood reed flowers come at a price of $4.99 for a set of three or $14.99 for a full bouquet, available in shades of beige, cream, and gold. These wooden wonders are not only aesthetically pleasing but also safe for pets and individuals with flower allergies. Their durability means they outlast ordinary fresh flowers by a considerable margin, making them a sustainable choice.
One inventive idea, initially suggested by Instagrammer @mostlytraderjoes when the flowers first went viral, is that they can be used as diffusers. Simply place them in scented liquid, and they’ll infuse your space with a delightful fragrance.
For those not within easy reach of a Trader Joe’s or facing stock shortages, an alternative is available on Amazon in the form of a boxed set. This set includes peony, jasmine, dahlia, and rose stems, making it an ideal gift or a charming addition to your own decor.
If you’re seeking inspiration for creative ways to display and customize your wood reed flowers, head over to TikTok. The platform is abuzz with users offering suggestions for personalizing these everlasting florals.
As one TikTok user commented, “You can dye them with acrylic paint!” Another shared, “I used wooden flowers for my wedding bouquet.” And a clever tip from yet another user: “You can dunk them in watercolor paint and get kind of a tie-dye effect.” Trader Joe’s wood reed flowers are not just decor; they are versatile, enduring pieces that have captured the imagination of many.
