We exchange a gift, each Christmas with my DD partners mother. She gifts things like Fortnums biscuits bath oils from her local spa etc - its a token but a reasonably expensive token and she is a high earner. Last year I sent a gift that I was told she liked (we live miles away) which I later noticed was regifted to my daughter.
So I'm thinking flowers/arrangement for a windowsill/table type of thing. A safe bet, easy and I won't care if she regifts again. Anyone recommend a good company for the flowers - not Bloom and Wild, Next, M&S - something a bit different. Many thanks.

Is there a good florist local to her who you could use, who could create something a bit different?

I wonder whether placing an order with a florist local to her would be the best option, OP.

If you want something striking and unusual, the florist will be able to get the flowers needed via their usual supplier.

Which region of the UK does she live in?

I find a local independent florist and get them to do an arrangement of some kind. I do this most years and they usually come up with something different. Winter whites and green might be suitable.

Or Freddie's Flowers?

Thats a good plan. She lives in West Yorkshire.

A local florist shop would be the better option.

My local florist will make an arrangement of unusual flowers - a little more expensive but worth it.
