  • Try local florists to the recipient, I find small businesses much easier to haggle with than large chains/internet florists.

    Bunches.co.uk their flowers are excellent and last ages I use them whenever I have to send flowers also if you google bunches voucher code you can often get 10% off

    They have a special section for baby flowers but they have a really good variety of flowers and add ons

    Been using them for nearly 10 years and never had a problem

    I find if you use a local company, you get better value for money.

    Flowers are a lovely gesture for mum!

    If however the new family is not flush with money, something practical of the same value might be appreciated more. Flowers from a florist get more expensive the more you consider what else can be bought.

    Do M&S and JL / Waitrose do an online floristry service? They may offer better value / a nicer bouquet for your price range.

    Marks do plants as well as flowers, perhaps you could buy a plant that could be planted outside at a later stage in the name of the new baby?
    Its not that we have more patience as we grow older, its just that we're too tired to care about all the pointless drama ;)

    Try the local graveyard or crematorium, that would be the very best value ;)

    I had a baby boy 9 weeks ago and received a massive amount of flowers, probably because we live away from close family and friends. Lovely as they are I honestly didn't know what to do with them all. Our house isn't big and we were somewhat overwhelmed. One friend called our local Indian restaurant and got them to create a voucher for a takeaway up to the value of £20 which was hugely appreciated, obviously that might not suit everyone but just an idea.

    I did also get a lovely boquet about 4 weeks later which was also lovely as the originals had all died by then.

    I've used Serenata Flowers after going to https://www.myvouchercodes.com
    Usually have a discount code of sorts...this weekend it was worth 20%,

    One thing I would say is if you give flowers please give an arrangement which doesn't need to be put in a vase - the ones with the built in holder/bag/vase make things so much easier, and if you suddenly get lots of flowers (which happens after a birth) they may not have enough vases
