My favorite DoorDash orders typically include Thai food, the occasional chicken Ceasar wrap, and an açai bowl when I want a sweet treat. I’ll usually order on busy nights (when I’m simply too tired to cook) or on lazy weekend afternoons. I suppose you can say I’m a DoorDash regular, but there’s still so much I didn’t know about the app—until recently.
For one, did you know that you can order a bouquet of fresh flowers on DoorDash on any given day? It’s pretty convenient, especially with Mother’s Day coming up. And have you heard that you can buy luxurious perfume with touch of a few buttons, or that you can have a new phone charger on your doorstep within minutes? (Okay, I did know about that—and it came in handy one time when my charger died at 1 a.m.)
So yes, there’s quite a bit you can order on DoorDash aside from food. Below are all the unexpected DoorDash finds you might have not known about. (Also, just keep in mind that retail options will vary based on your zip code.) Trust me, this info is game changing.
Flower bouquets
It’s true: If you’re in a time crunch and need to order a bouquet ASAP, you can order one right on DoorDash. The app will show you various options from florists close to your location, and you’ll be able to choose the best one for your budget and timeline.

Drugstore and luxury beauty
Whether you’re running low on your favorite Charlotte Tilbury foundation or you’re hoping to re-stock your go-to Versace perfume, you can likely find it right on DoorDash. Again, depending on your location, various retailers such as Ulta, Sephora, Sally Beauty, and more will appear on your screen, giving your delivery driver the option to choose between your go-to local beauty shops.
Fitness equipment
There has been more than one occasion when I’ve felt unprepared for a fitness class, whether I needed a new yoga mat or the right pair of socks for Pilates. I just learned you could order these kinds of things on DoorDash from stores like Target, Foot Locker, JD Sports, and more.
Clothes
For the “oh no” moments when you’re at the office and spill something on your shirt before a big meeting, you can always order a new one from DoorDash (or you can quickly order a Tide Pen, either works.) Regardless, you can buy clothes on the app from places like Old Navy, American Eagle Outfitters, DSW, and more to get them ASAP.
Tech gear
Very recently, I was heading to bed late and my phone was at 1%. My phone charger had died, and it was too late to go to the store (and I needed a full charge by the morning). My saving grace? A quick DoorDash order—I had a new charger within minutes. You can also order tech gear like printer ink, batteries, and even TV sets (seriously).
