Flower Subscription

I am really stuck for ideas for my DM so am considering a flower/ plant subscription.

Has anyone got any recommendations ?
Do they work out ridiculously expensive?

Thanks

I did a bloom and wild one for 3 months. There's usually a discount code around somewhere. Recipient loved them.

And they fit through the letterbox

I’ve done bloom and wild subscriptions for people and the flowers are lovely, it’s good value and the recipients were thrilled
It was £60 something IIRC for three months

Freddie's flowers are really high quality.

Ditto the Bloom and Wild for 3 months, it was much appreciated.

It was a few years ago, so double check current reviews, I think I’ve seen some more unhappy reviews recently but I could be wrong.

I got my dm bloom and wild subscription for Christmas last year she has been really pleased with them

I agree with previous comment about Freddie’s flowers. Excellent quality and the variety of flowers is really good, the bunches are always really big and full.
The customer service is excellent. I had one box arrive and the courier left it stood on one end on my doorstep as I was out. By the time I got home and laid it flat a few were bent. I contacted them and they sent me a replacement bunch the next day. It was actually the couriers fault as the box boldly states ‘This way up’ to keep it flat.
I’ve bought one off boxes for family and they have all loved them. £25 a bunch.

Arena flowers, I've had Freddie's flowers and Bloom and Wild and neither are a patch on Arena flowers. Customer service is brilliant too. I emailed Friday pm asking if they could delay a delivery due the following Tuesday, had a lovely email back double checking what day I'd prefer Saturday morning.

I use Freddie's flowers quite a bit, and have never had any problems. The flowers tend to last 2-3 weeks with a bit of attention. They're very good with instructions and guidance about how to display the flowers. And it's easy to manage the subscription online - you can cancel as many weeks as you like (up to a month in advance) so you do need to keep on top of it if you don't want them regularly, but I now get them only a few times a year and just cancel all the other weeks as we go along.

Also you get an email each week telling you what's in next week's box so you know what's coming up and whether to cancel that week or not!

I have a code - if you sign up with my code you get your first box free (disclaimer - I get a half price one if you use my code!) CharloB80

Arena flowers here.

Freddie flowers I've received as presents are always mixed bouquets of small things that don't open up, whereas Arena are big flower, usually one type with greenery.
