Maybe your family are easy to buy for. Maybe you always know what to get them, and they're really grateful to receive your gift. In my experience, this is not the case. I have struggled with birthdays, Christmases, and especially, Mother's Day and Father's Day. After all, the latter two are when you’re supposed to show your care and (extreme) gratitude for the endless lifts your parents gave you and your friends for years on end (just me?). Just where does one find presents that feel personal and special but also remain affordable? I’ll tell you: it’s Bloom & Wild.
You may be thinking that Bloom & Wild is the name you associate with beautiful flowers, both in letterbox and hand-tied form. While you’re right, what you need to know is that the brand has expanded its gift offerings of late and now offers the most incredible array of unique ideas for every occasion. This means utterly delicious hampers filled with all of the sweet treats that will fit through the letterbox and even a ‘pub in a box’, which involves a selection of great beers and yummy snacks. In short, there’s a present fit for every mum, dad, sister and best friend regardless of taste, from as little as £20. Even, pick-me-up gifts for loved ones in need.
Never again will I worry about what to buy for my family who has, until now, been impossible to buy for. And I have Bloom & Wild to thank - all gifts thoughtfully curated from hand-picked brands and small makers.
