I’m very excited for the launch of ‘Gifts Instead of Flowers’. Ordering flowers is always a lovely gift, but sometimes you want to send something a little more personal and longer lasting. Gifts Instead of Flowers has some unique gift ideas, sourced from craft exhibitions and antique fairs. Whether it’s jewellery, artwork, or a health and wellness gift – there really is something for everyone, and at an affordable price too. I can’t wait to start sending gifts to my loved ones!

What a wonderful idea Gifts Instead Of Flowers is! No longer do I need to scratch my head for a gift, and end up sending flowers, because I can’t find a suitable gift. GOOD LUCK and I wish you huge success with a fabulous business idea!
