Anyone know where I can get an oasis heart please?

If possible I need to find an oasis heart to make a funeral flower display. Im in the Bolton area and used to have a card for a wholesaler called 'Country Baskets' near Manchester and they have them but I no longer have a business so cant go there. Ive tried Hobbycraft but no luck.

A neighbour has had a family member pass away this week and the funeral is on Tuesday. They have set thier heart on one of these type of displays but cant afford the price the shops charge. I know I can do one for her for half the price if I can source the oasis but due to the timescale I dont have time to order one online.

Just wondered if anyone knows of anywhere in the Bolton/Wigan/Leigh area where I would be able to buy one.

Thanks for reading.

    you don't need to be a trader to get a card for country baskets, they have a two tiered membership, one for individuals and one for traders. I went there for wedding things in 2014. It's on the website. Hope this helps

    I thought oasis could be cut to shape? Can you not just buy a lump and chop it out?
