Mothers Day – Sunday 18th March 2012

No Comments

With Mothering Sunday fast approaching, spare a thought for your Mum and treat her to something nice on her special day. We have some great gifts for Mum this year, from elegant arrangements to beautiful hand tieds and plants, to our Mother’s Day Bundles for a complete gift idea.

Order Direct and save up to 20% – “Great for those with ‘Two Mum’s to buy for ….”

With most people with two Mum’s to buy for, and at a time when you want to save as much money as you possibly can, you could probably do with saving a few quid when it comes to sending flowers this Mother’s Day – well, look no further, and you could find that you could be saving £££’s

We’ve been comparing our prices with some of the leading relay organisations, supermarkets and couriers, and needless to say that we find that we are much cheaper. Some of these other “flower delivery experts” even charge you to use your credit card (how dare they!)

We give you 10% off** your order total (if you spend over £35.00), and we don’t charge you extra for Same Day Delivery or for paying on your credit card ! (unlike some people we could mention)

For Mother’s Day we only charge you an extra £ 3.00 for Sunday delivery, and if you order online and get 10% off, it even pays for itself !!

So why bother shopping around?

The last-minute way to say … I love you

No Comments

Excerpt from the Nottingham Evening Post website, 13 February 2012.

http://www.thisisnottingham.co.uk/minute-Valentine-8217-s-Day-options-Nottingham/story-15179553-detail/story.html

 

Brian Skelhorn, managing director of the award-winning Anderson’s florists said it is not unusual to be looking for a last-minute way to say ‘I love you’ at this time of year.

He said: “Most men seem to leave things to the last minute and we often get guys coming through the door at 3pm on February 13 looking for something for the next day. Because we do deliveries we are normally able to help and can deliver to people’s places of work to make sure they receive their flowers in time.”

Brian says red roses are still the flower of choice when it comes to impressing your partner on Valentine’s Day but the company has also seen a growth in sales on their ‘Love Packs’.

He said: “Red roses are still the one people look for but the gift packs have been very popular with people too.”

 

So don’t be a last minute loser….

We still have a great range of gifts for you to choose from, but don’t hang about our roses are selling out fast, and once they’re gone……they’re gone !!

Valentine’s Day Flowers and Gifts

Valentines Day Gifts

With Valentine’s Day falling on a Tuesday this year you have every opportunity to impress your loved one, especially in front of those jealous types at the office.

So banish their moody Tuesday blues, with some of our fabulous reds. So many of us really do appreciate getting our flowers at work, make it public and make your lover the envy of their workplace friends and colleagues.

Size Matters

Size Matters

Size Matters - See our Rose buying guide for details

Our Size Matters campaign advises you to be careful when considering your Valentine’s Gift. This year is no different, so please remember that not all roses are the same, and some roses that are being sold this Valentine’s, in our honest opinion, do not “measure up”.

You’ve probably already been bombarded with emails from either your local supermarket, department store, clothing retailer, chocolate shop, or other ‘flower delivery company’ offering 12 Roses for £19.99, or a Deluxe Selection of 12 Luxury Roses for £39.99 – forget it !

Some of these (dare we say) “cheap” roses are shorter than others, have smaller heads, and most will be delivered in a cardbox box … Nice !

But don’t just take our word for it, we’ve put together a useful guide to help you make an informed choice.

Delivered Personally by Hand ….Not in a cardboard box

Delivered pesonally by hand - Not in a box

Delivered pesonally by hand - Not in a cardboard box

Many flower delivery companies are manufacturing their bouquets in warehouses, putting them in cardboard boxes and delivering them by overnight courier or even posting them to recipients. Lots of care and attention there then (not).
Often you really don’t know how your floral gift is produced or sent. In fact, many recipients will actually receive a very different service from the one you thought you were paying for.

We have seen the results of some online flower delivery companies, you may be equally surprised at the results – Have a look at our website for details….. (warning … it isn’t pretty !)

All our gifts are given the personal touch, from the hand writing of your gift card, to the creation of your gift by one of our experienced florists, right through the the personal delivery by one of our own key delivery drivers.
