Sending Love with Flowers

I may be the odd one out but I have to admit – I have never really seen the point in flowers. Sure, they smell nice, are pretty, and can brighten up almost any room. And if someone has done something amazing; passed a test, cooked a great meal, pushed a small human out of them. There is no denying flowers are a great gift for those situations. But apart from that, they just aren’t for me! They can be super expensive, die really quickly, and you can’t eat them! What happened to a good old box of chocs?

However, I understand that not everyone is like me (somebody tell me it’s not just me who thinks this way?!). Most people would be perfectly happy to receive a daily bunch of flowers for no reason whatsoever. If you are this person, or knows someone who is, then read on; you’ll love these sites!

Bunches

Bunches is my go-to site to send flowers to loved ones. They have a great selection of flowers, plants, and other goodies, such as chocolates, wine, cakes and balloons. Some flowers can be delivered through the letterbox, and they always have great discount codes available!

Bloom & Wild

Recently soaring in popularity, their TV ad certainly sells this company! Each flower is wrapped in petal protectors so they can be safely transported without getting too battered and bruise. They are able to fit through the letterbox, meaning they can still be delivered even if no one is in. They also come with a handy guide of arranging tips, meaning they can be arranged in style, rather than just plonked in a vase!

Interflora

Probably the old school way to send flowers. I remember when I was younger and my step mum wanted to send flowers to her loved ones, we used to go into the local florist and look through a brochure, and then the florist would send them with Interflora. Now, it is all done online and although their prices may not be the cheapest, they are still a great reliable way to send them!

Balloon Monkey

For those of us who are less flower people, and more balloon people, this is your site! With over 1,500 balloon designs to choose from, including personalised photo balloons, which perfectly packed in a tissue lined box and colourful confetti. They also offer free chocolates, and UK delivery 6 days a week – meaning this little site is your one stop balloon shop!

Check out local florists on Social Media

If you are looking to shop local, don’t forget to check out your social media pages for local businesses advertising online, as they can sometimes offer great deals; such as same day delivery or great discounts.

Remember, during these weird and crazy times, plenty of people have had their worlds tipped upside down, and are trying to bounce back. Some of those have started up new businesses, who would appreciate your support, whether in business, or recommendations and reviews.
