Flowercard - always full of good stuff

When it comes to thoughtful gifting we’re always seeking something different. Personalisation is lovely. Pretty labels are delightful. Freshly picked flowers, placed by hand are vital, but when it comes to gifts that last, Flowerbottles are fabulous.

If you’ve sent or received one of our Kilner or vintage pharmacy bottles, we’d love to know how you’ve refilled it.

At Flowercard HQ we’ve reworked arrangements, made blackberry jam, (it’s marmalade soon with new season Seville oranges) infused oils for our lunchtime salads and cooked up a few batches of these healthy cookies. We do hope you enjoy them. Why not give them a try?
