Pepero Day in Korea: Can You Send Flowers With It?

What is Pepero Day in Korea?

Pepero Day is an informal gift day on 11 November in Korea, when friends, partners and coworkers give each other Pepero, thin biscuit sticks coated in chocolate. The date is often explained by how 11/11 looks like four sticks standing in a row. It is playful rather than formal, and in 2026 it falls on an ordinary Wednesday.

The same date carries other names. 11 November is also Farmers' Day (농업인의 날) in Korea, and some people call it Garaetteok Day (가래떡데이) and give long white rice cakes, again playing on the look of 11/11. If your recipient mentions rice cakes that week, this is why.

Can I send flowers for Pepero Day?

Yes. In Korea people usually exchange Pepero rather than flowers on this day, but flowers are a welcome extra, and Korea Flower Express delivers across South Korea with 11 November selectable as the delivery date on the order form. When you cannot be there for a friend, partner or coworker, a small arrangement with Pepero carries the message for you.

Because the day is about small, friendly gifts, a compact arrangement usually suits the mood better than a large stand. At Korea Flower Express, Flower Baskets start at ₩45,000, and Bouquets also start at ₩45,000 (corsages are priced lower). The lowest-priced basket that offers Pepero starts at ₩47,000. Prices were checked on the site in October 2026 and can change, so rely on the amount shown at checkout.

Can I add Pepero to my flower order?

Yes, for most items. At Korea Flower Express, Pepero sticks are an add-on of ₩10,000 that you order together with the flowers, available on most items in Flower Baskets and Bouquets. It is one order and one delivery, so your recipient receives both together. Check the add-on gifts on your chosen item's page to confirm Pepero is offered.

The same add-on list includes cake, champagne, chocolates and candy, and a corsage on some items. Chocolates and candy are ₩10,000 each too, and you can set a quantity for each add-on on the order form (the form may show Pepero by its Korean name, 빼빼로). We have not confirmed that you can choose a brand or flavor, so if you have a particular product in mind, ask in live chat or call +82-1668-4900 before you order.

How late can I order for 11 November in my time zone?

To have flowers arrive on 11 November, Korea Flower Express needs your order before 6 PM Korea time (KST) that day. Most orders placed before then are delivered the same day, but arrival is not guaranteed. Korea is UTC+9 with no daylight saving, so 18:00 KST on 11 November is 04:00 in New York, 09:00 in London and 20:00 in Sydney, all on the same date. The table uses the clock settings in force in mid-November 2026.

Check the date twice. For example, 20:00 on Tuesday 10 November in New York is 10:00 on Wednesday 11 November in Korea, which is before the cutoff. It also works backwards: 10:00 in Korea minus 14 hours is 20:00 the previous evening in New York. Ordering a few days early is safer than relying on the last hours.

How do I order Pepero and flowers step by step?

To send Pepero Day flowers with Korea Flower Express, order online and set 11 November as the delivery date; the steps are below. A wrong phone number for the recipient can delay delivery, so check it once more. Phone support runs from 08:00 to 21:00 Korea time: call +82-1668-4900 or write to wooflower33@naver.com.

• Choose flowers in Flower Baskets or Bouquets and pick a size.
• On the product page, tick Pepero in the add-on gifts (₩10,000), then set the quantity on the order form if you want more than one; the form may show it as 빼빼로.
• Enter your recipient's name, mobile number and full Korean address, and set the delivery date to 11 November. For an office, add the building name and floor.
• Write your card message. The card can be printed in a foreign language, mostly English.
• Pay. On the English order form you pay by international card in Korean won, or by PayPal in US dollars at the day's rate with a 5% fee.
• After delivery we send a photo of what your recipient received. If nobody is there, we leave it at the entrance and send a photo of the spot.

Can I change or cancel after I order?

Changes and cancellations depend on whether the flowers have gone into production; once production has started, a change or cancellation may not be possible or may cost extra. If you want to change the Pepero quantity or the card wording, tell us right after you order. Flowers can be swapped for others in the same color family depending on the season and what arrives that morning, and product photos are styled examples.
