Flower Gift Ideas

The Flowering Gift Baskets on this page are derived from popular Food Gift Baskets, which enables us to strictly control their Quality. We like the Food components in our baskets to be fresh and stock to rotate regularly. We're the first to admit that sending flowers through the post is nothing something we think is a sensible option. Their fragility and biological requirements makes it a lottery on whether or not they will arrive in any decent standard of presentation. However our Flowering Gift Baskets are a different matter altogether.

Arriving weekly and watered daily, we have created a cluster of Flower Gift Baskets, which are offered as an alternative gift option to just sending a bouquet of flowers. Apart from the Flowering Rose Baskets you can see in this section, you may also see them scattered throughout other sections of our website such as Sympathy Gifts, Birthday Gifts, Mothers Day Gifts, Baby Gifts, Loving & Romantic Gifts, etc Colour Selection is obviously appropriate to the occasion or event with White for Condolencies, Red for Loving and Pink/Fuchsia for Mouthers Day.

The standard of presentation is impeccable. Every morning our little plants are plucked from their water tray and wrapped in the sort of fancy cellophane associated with Flowers. They are tied up with Bow and Ribbons before being inserted into a protective coloured card bucket for protection. Later that same day they will link up with their partnering Gift Basket as it comes through the shrink tunnel before being packaged and dispatched by air the same day to one of 3 central hubs in Europe. Germany, England and Ireland. The following day it will be out for delivery.

When you think about it, whilst flower bouquets are a classic gift choice they don't last very long - and can be viewed as poor value for money as a gift option. Recipients can sometimes be inundated with bunches of flowers, as so many people opt to send them for special gift occasions without spending time to look for an alternative. At Basketsgalore we like to use our imaginations and offer gifts that are a little bit different and completely practical. We design gifts that stand out from the crowd.

Many years ago we came up with the idea of combining flowering plants with gift baskets and hampers to create a range of fresh and vibrant flower gifts that can be enjoyed for longer. The logic went that since Flowers were not one of the greatest thing to transport, this was a market that was best left to a Flowers Wholesaler or Fulfilment specialist. However, we were Basketsgalore, the Gift Basket Specialists for the UK & Ireland. We couldn't just leave the sector without at least competing. The majority of gift baskets contain food and whilst we are able to go to extraordinary lengths to create artistic and colourful masterpieces when we assemble the component elements, for many people flowers is an essential element of any good gift that they wish to send. The various colours offered by the Dutch Flower Industry enabled the development of a fantastic range of gifts which are essentially hybrid versions of Hampers & Flowers.

For our potted flowering plants we favour miniature roses in a variety of delightful and vibrant colours. Sourced at budding stage from a high quality florist wholesaler, they are carefully gift wrapped for presentation style purposed before being shipped to the end receiver. Since 2005 we have never received anything other than positive comments, and we know from personal experience that these lovely plants will continue to bloom and give pleasure for months. Basketsgalore is delighted to offer a modern gift alternative to the traditional concept of sending flowers by post. Our combination flowers and more baskets are a contemporary 21st Century gift choice. They are imaginative, innovative and lend themselves perfectly to our innate human desire to celebrate special occasions, with friends and loved ones. Our customers continue to vote them a viable competitor to a bouquet of flowers, only much better!
