Bloomin Marvellous Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

With Mother’s Day fast approaching its time to think about what to get the special lady in your life. Whether it be a thoughtful gift they can keep forever and ever, or a useful gift they can use and work into their home, getting them something that means something is priceless. But why not go for both? Yes, you really can have it all! You can now get a beautiful faux flower arrangement presented in a one-of-a-kind vintage vase we’ve sourced personally….

Miranda is a beautiful luxury artificial arrangement of orange aster, green hydrangea, hop and seasonal foliage. It sits beautifully in a vase marked on the base as GDR which shows it was made in East Germany somewhere between 1945-1990. Even though the unique vase is not brand new, it’s in fantastic condition and will be the perfect accompaniment to anyone’s home.

As well as the beautiful Miranda, we also have another unique, but slightly different, faux flower arrangement called Isabella. The Isabella Artemisia Angelica Supreme and Allium Arrangement is set in a gorgeous vintage Grayshott Pottery vase. Personally sourced, this vintage vase is in immaculate condition for its age and is believed to be 30 years old and hand-thrown by potter Carl Baker and hand painted by Joy Real. A wonderful addition to the home, as this is also a one-of-a-kind find, it’ll also add a touch of exclusivity making it a really special gift.

Whether it be showing your appreciation to your partner, or having a great time with your girlfriends, Valentine’s Day is definitely about positivity. But the question on everyone’s mind when this time of year approaches is – ‘what do i get?’ In our opinion it’s the thought that counts and you don’t have to break the bank in order to get someone something they’ll love, for instance a simple bunch of flowers would do the trick, or even a LOVE sign they can hang from the cupboard.

Faux Real! Artificial Flower (Last Minute) Christmas Gift Guide

Faux real! Artificial Flower (last minute) Christmas Gift Guide

Why not say it with flowers this Christmas. Our range of artificial flower pieces make the perfect Christmas gift and will last your loved ones a life time. You may not have realised but we don’t just stock gorgeous artificial flowers, but we also feature little treats that’ll make the perfect stocking fillers (we’ll divulge exactly what these little treats are later in the post). First of all, you could gift your mum a stunning Eucalyptus garland which she could decorate her mantelpiece with, or why not treat your friend to a gorgeous rose centrepiece for her dining table? Still not convinced. Check out our ‘un-real’ gift guide below.

Gifts for Mum…

As mentioned in the intro, our Eucalyptus Garlands are proving to be a popular choice which doesn’t have to be just for Christmas, with this garland she can decorate a chair in the bedroom, or put by the kitchen window to add an essence of eucalyptus. Artificial Garlands are for LIFE! Or, if she wants something else, why not opt for a Luxury Olive Spray she can add to existing bouquets to make a table look pretty

Gifts for Sis

Not sure what to get your sister? Why not treat her to a beautiful array of peonies presented in a vase? Not only will they make her bedroom, or wherever she decides to put them look great, they will last forever so you don’t have to get her another present again (only joking). Or alternatively if peonies aren’t her thing, grab her one (or some) of our terracotta potted succulents to add fun and flair to her home.

Gifts for Friends…

Again, our terracotta potted succulents would be a great gift to give all your friends, they really do liven up a room, desk or even toilet! Another fabulous alternative for a friend is one of our tea light holders. Each tea light holder is made from frosted glass. The rose, foliage and crystal bead centrepiece is approximately 18cm in diameter including foliage.

Gifts for Mother in Law…

Hmm… What to get the in-laws can be super tricky, but we think something pretty, neutral and perfect for the home, will be an ideal gift. Our Cream rose mix (Beautiful and elegant hand-made mixed rose selection in a cream mix) is beautiful and can be cut or bent to suit their interior theme or design. A definite contender, the cream colour way will go with pretty much any interior.

Stocking Fillers….

We also offer a range of great stocking fillers perfect for the big day, see our list below:

Frosted Hanging Pine Cone

Hydrangea Lavender Stem

Set of Peacock Feathers

Stay Put Celebrity Fashion Tape

12 Silver Butterfly Set

We can ship up until December 23rd to ensure you receive your gift before Christmas!

Have a great Christmas

Lots of Love

Shop Small: The Small Business Gift Guide

Words by Carly Stevens

Having worked in the fashion industry for over 10 years I’m an established fan of the high street. I love all it has to offer and will always shop there. But in the last 12 months of being a blogger (and possibly spending too long on the ‘gram) I’ve learned a lot about smaller businesses too and more importantly the wonderful people behind them which was the reason for this post. I have discovered and am fortunate enough to know some hugely talented people who have channelled their skills into creating beautiful products that deserve to be shared.

If you still have any gaps in your Christmas shopping list, need ideas for your own wish list or are simply browsing here are just some of the gorgeous and unique gift ideas available from some lovely small businesses I’ve found. And remember “when you buy from a small business an actual person does a little happy dance”…
