Flower Power Presents

15 October 2008

Who doesn't love a beautiful scented bouquet of flowers, or a gorgeous garden? Certainly, when it comes to your green-fingered friends, relatives and loved-ones, nothing shows you care more than presents that celebrate their favourite hobby! Why not take advantage of the fantastic collection of online presents to find something really special - and truly celebrate the power of flowers!

Get growing

For garden lovers, why not try presents like the 'grow it' gift box, filled with everything you need to turn even the most basic back yard plot into a fantastic country garden! The gift box contains an array of seeds - English wildflower mixes, fragrant flower mixes, special growing pots and compost discs -and handy tips on how to actually get the things to grow! Just imagine how lovely next Summer will be - drinking Pimms and sitting in the sun, surrounded by a beautiful flower garden - thanks to your fabulous presents! Younger gardeners might also enjoy tending their budding skills with presents like the 'grow your own' Sunflowers box, giving the whole family endless fun as the plucky little Sunflowers eventually grow to an incredible height! A passing rite in any child's life, don't forget to measure them against their resulting blooms!

Enjoying the garden

Certainly as the warmer months come around, you'll want to head back outdoors again - and for the ultimate in outdoor relaxation presents, why not give your loved one a stylish and practical Summer Flower Picnic Hamper, which is hand woven from natural willow bark, beautifully decorated with a coloured cotton interior and with co-ordinated contents which include cutlery, plates, glasses, wine cooler and tablecloth for four people. It will be ideal for any number of outdoor picnics at the beach, on days out, at festivals.... and even picnics on the back doorstep!

The practical gardener
Garden presents can be practical too - so why not treat your green-fingered Mum to the 'Flower Power Mum' kneeling pad? This is a perfect practical gift, with a fun and quirky message twist (to make sure no one else nicks it!) - and Mum can use it to kneel down in comfort and avoid getting mud all over her trousers! She'll thank you for it... and then give you even more brownie points if you bring out a cup of tea in a personalised mug with a garden design! (Chuck in a biscuit too - she's working hard out there!)

Garden keepsakes

Flowers and gardens have long inspired beautiful keepsakes, and there's a fantastic selection of themed presents available to show loved ones how much you care. Why not treat your Mum to a lovely glass keepsake with the message 'Thank you for being my Mum' on it, and a cute little design of flower pots and watering cans. It comes presented in a luxurious presentation box and is very stylish and chic! Or for other thoughtful keepsake presents, perhaps a tiny glass frame with 'Mum' and a contemporary flower design on, perfect for displaying your photo! Other lovely little flower inspired keepsake presents include tiny 'wish tokens' engraved with a little purple enamel flower and a 'thank you' engraved on the back - or girls will love the pink 'oddsocks' pack, decorated with little blooms, or a small pink flower engraved keyring, engraved with a personal message. ("Don't forget your keys" perhaps.)

The garden indoors!

Bring the power of flowers indoors with some gorgeous home presents - perfect for any occasion. A personalised flower design canvas will be a truly unique gift, with a choice of flower designs from Amaryllis, Gerberas, Bamboos or Red Anthurims, and a personal message to finish it off! Each personalised canvas is stretched onto a chunky frame and varnished to last - and no doubt it will take pride of place in any home.

Relaxing with flowers

Long known to be therapeutic and with beneficial essential oils, flowers also provide excellent presents for relaxation. For example, presents such as the lovely rose bud bath flowers can be scattered over a hot bath (after a day in the garden!) to dissolve and release a heady rose scent. Each presentation box contains enough scented flowers for 3 or 4 baths - don't chuck them in all at once - and certainly don't let the man in your life take any!

Of course this is only a small selection of the flower inspired presents available nowadays, and for lovers of nature there's a huge range of gorgeous presents that will charm them and demonstrate just how much you care. Say it with flowers!
