Flowers online - any recommendations?

I have a couple of Christmas arrangements/bouquets I want to order. In the past I've used Next, Interflora, Tesco and M&S. Problem is, I never get to see the delivered item and the recipients always say "ooh, lovely!" Anyone have any recommendations?

I used Interflora online recently - highly recommended.

John Lewis online are also good but I wanted a next-day delivery at the weekend and Interflora were the only ones I could find that did that

Tesco is supposed to be very good

I usually find a florist in the area through yellowpages (yell.co.uk maybe?) and phone them up directly. Cheaper than the big national places and has that local touch!

How did I manage to post this twice? Thanks for replies - I like the selection at Interflora but their delivery charges are very steep - £4.95 (so nearly a tenner on top of the charge for the two bouquets Shock) Will go and look at John Lewis.

I used one recently www.natural-link.co.uk that were very good, can do same day delivery, fowers lasted ages and were tied nicely and the balloon I sent too is still inflated.

I recently used Jane Packer Delivers and they were very reasonably priced and stylish and they have a next-day deliver option too.

OOps didn't realise there were two threads going - have posted this on the other one as well

\link{http://www.clareflorist.co.uk\try clareflorist} use them a lot and anybody I've ever sent them to has said that they really have a wow factor!

However they are not as cheap as some of the retailer ones like M&S Tescos etc.

I have used Next and John Lewis, had good reports back from both :)

So many to choose from I can't make my mind up now!

I like the first Christmas bouquet on the Clareflorist site....
