zico's mum Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Just realised I've forgotten a friend's birthday this Sunday,I simply do not have time to go into town for a present so thought I'd cop out and send flowers/plants or something else from online.I am really really stretched financially right now so 20-25 is max I can pay.So who have you used and had good results with,or does anyone else have another idea I could use.She's 82 and I've already done the sponsored dogs etc for other gifts.All ideas gratefully received She is a dog lover and has 2 JRTs but buying them gifts is out as one has food allergies and the other is very toy possessive.

murtle Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) I always use florists local to the person who is having them delivered, this has always worked out cheaper for me (and if they are good / not good I can pop in and let them know next time I visit the friend!) I have seen these type of ideas recently and think it would be a lovely idea (google found this one for me, I can't remember who I first saw doing them) http://www.growing-greetings.co.uk/?gclid=CMXez4jPmqsCFcIMfAodg1HneA If you aren't going to see her until after her birthday a card and a present when you next see her might be nice. xxx Edited September 13, 2011 by murtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have received flowers from Next and they were very good . Also flowers form Guernsey flowers http://www.flowersbypost.com/?&source=goog&keyword=guernsey%20flowers&gclid=CIywsajVmqsCFeILtAodZHbokQ Alternatively, phone a local florist and arrange delivery from them- cheaper than through Interflora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
