Which online florist is the best in UK?
As the name suggests, Bloom & Wild's letterbox flowers can be posted straight through letterboxes which makes it a super easy gift, not to mention as a treat for yourself. Prices start from £20 and you can even add significant dates (anniversaries, birthdays etc) onto your account so that they’ll give you a ‘nudge’ in time. The brand also has a range of subscription services if you fancy giving your favourite person (or yourself) the gift of flowers every single month.
Another firm favourite is Bloom, the UK’s first 100% plastic-free and zero-waste luxury online floristry service, and not forgetting Amazon where you can pick up some beauties. If you have Amazon Prime they'll be delivered even quicker with some flower delivery services able to ship on the same day.
On the high street, M&S is also a great choice for flower delivery across the UK. The brand has amazing bouquets from just £25, all available with free nominated day delivery. This means you can choose exactly when someone receives your lovely gift, without having to spend a fortune.
Who sends flowers by post?
We certainly love to send flowers and it seems we no longer need an excuse to send them to our favourite people. According to Bloom & Wild, 162,000 people have sent bouquets simply to 'brighten' someone's day in the past year, with this being the most-used word in gift cards, while 780,000 sent 'just because' flowers.
