Most recently I sent flowers to my sister-in-law after hand surgery, and got a bottle of wine just in time, to take to dinner at at my nephew's house! I personally use my subscription 10-15 times a month, for restaurant occasions and grocery shopping.

So I’m stoked for the deals we’re unlocking from today during our Summer of DashPass event: doordash.news/consumer/doord…
