cellophane and bows for hampers and wrapping in general

Options
Oh dear I've just found this site .... http://www.flowerhour.co.uk/

....very good value, only slight problem is I've now gone mad and ordered all kinds of things!! Is this moneysaving :confused: I think partly yes as it's a good deal and partly no as I spent more than I should :eek:

..but looks like nice stuff and that's all my wrapping sorted and a bit different to what's available on the high street! :D

The cellophane rolls at 3.25 for 10 metres seem good value. Even when you add in the P&P. that was my rationale for such a big order ... only one P&P charge per order :rotfl:

HTH some of you looking for cellophane and bows.

    thanks to you! I never saw the how to guides in my excitement at all the products!:D

    those look lovely and WAY cheaper than those you can buy.

    Also have a guide for more traditional bows here http://www.flowerhour.co.uk/Traditional-florists-bow_A6LOJ.aspx which will work out much cheaper than pull bows.

    fortunately I used to work in a florists so know how to do the traditional bows but will definitely also be trying the ones you found.

    I've also bought some cellophane and tissue paper to add a different touch to my present wrapping!

    wow.just looked at the site..they are selling 120metre clear cello for £14.99.People are actually bidding on this on ebay and its £17.?? plus cheaper postage if you buy through the online store and not ebay.
  • Have to say they are FANTASTIC. Even deliver to the Isle of Man.

    I ordered loads - in anticipation of me making LOTS of lovely hampers for my family and friends.

    Great prices and selections!:beer:

    This website is not firefox friendly!

    Looks a good site on IE.
  • I have ordered from them thro EBay (i assume its the same company). Their products are really really good quality and come well packaged.

    I got all my cello from flowerhour last year on ebay, I agree with cheeky monkeys above, they were good quality.
