I want to order one for my auntie who has just sent me a christmas gift (unexpected) but dont really want her to know how much (how little) I have spent on her. When they are sent as a gift, do they have an invoice/dispatch note in them?

no invoice..just the greeting card

I have to agree. For a fiver, what I got was ok, but it was intended for a present, and I've ended up leaving it in my office at work. And the gift card was very poor. I expected more seeing as the original price was three times what I paid. I know many will probably disagree with me, but just my opinion.

Oh god Im starting to panic now have ordered 8 for Aunts etc so hope they are ok. I to will be on the phone if they are not up to much.

Thankyou for posting this, ive just ordered one each for my family, nice surprise and a nice change from paying £40 plus for interflora!

I ordered two and they came a couple of days ago. Very happy with both of them and personally I think they are well worth a fiver! Plus you get a voucher for £5 off a £20 order at Rainbow Flowers too.

I ordered the narcissus baskets a while ago and they have arrived - will not flower for a bit yet but should be in time for xmas. Basket itself is bit so so, (wire covered with holly patterned thin cheap fabric) for £5 delivered, is not bad for about 9 bulbs that you can put in garden afterwards.

I would pay about that much for potted bulbs from local market and then have to repot into nice basket and deliver so :money: for me!

A nice box of biscuits/cookies or chocs and is a good gift for someone IMO

Have ordered some of the Hibiscus ones too and the Princettia.
The mini gift ones are mini - but 3 together look cute - can alway repot into a more expensive looking container if you like -
I should have another trio with my 2nd order so I am going to put them into a glass tanks with moss and use for buffet table decs for xmas with the larger ones in individual glass cubes. Then give them as presents to Mum and sisters! :money: Double value! :p:p

I ordered this my my aunt, who has been looking after my nan a lot recently. I also got a few plants for my mum as Xmas & a sort of cheer up kinda thing. They've both been under so much stress because of my nan being ill. I really hope they turn up & look good.

Has anyone had the Princettia come yet? Am wanting to get one for my gran but would need to send it direct to her as I'm at the other end of the country and am a little worried about the mixed reviews since I won't be able to check it before she sees it!

Sorry to be the bearer of more bad news but I ordered two plants from them a couple of months ago and both were broken and dying. I contacted them and was told the plants would grow back and be healthy if I removed the broken stems! They refused to credit me and although I tried to save them, both plants did die. I wouldn't have minded but they were expensive. Just be warned. I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole now.
