Best Internet Flowers?

My mum flew all the way to NZ to look after us while I was in hospital and recovering.

She is back home now and I want to send her some flowers.

Any recommendations?

M&S are always a winner, Next too and for less expensive ones - Tesco's.

John Lewis do nice ones too

Next is great! Have sent 2 arrangements from there with vases as birthday presents and have been amazed at how lovely they were!

What's a CVV number?

Okay I worked out the CVV number, spent ages choosing lovely next flowers,typed everything in, and when I was clicking confirm for the last time it tells me the system is down.

So, now not buying from NEXT and still no flowers. Like the Tescos fair trade ones, she would like that.

Flowers now purchased - same price as Next, but Fairtrade - which is important to her. And they tell you what that code is, and the site doesn't crash...

Funny getting supermarket flowers though - puts me in mind of those petrol station ones!

I've used Interflora loads of times to send stuff to the UK and abroad, and the flowers have always been lovely and always arrived on time. The people on the end of the phone have always been incredibly helpful, but you can just do it on an online form too.

Have sent loads to MIL and she said that the Tesco's flowers were the best. Think it was a "Finest" bouquet but she said it was enormous and there was a good range (also at various stages of flowering so lasted longer).

bobbybob · 12/09/2005 10:13

That's good to know yoyo.

Another vote for Tesco's flowers here. Not pricey, lovely flowers & delivered bang on time!

Just have to wait for Tuesday now - hope she likes them!
