Pretty nifty, right? It's low on the old carbon footprint, supports local florists, and guarantees quality and quick delivery. Truly cannot go wrong. 

This independent online florist has a reputation for fresher-than-fresh flowers, sourced as locally as possible. Their curated edits feature a well-rounded selection of seasonal blooms, from lilies to roses and carnations in bold and beautiful hues. There's also the option to get hampers and gifts delivered too, so you're fully covered if you're shopping for a special occasion.

Ordering a surprise floral gift for someone you love can be a little tricky if you’re not sure when they’re going to be in to receive it.

Seriously, why not?

Add a scrumptious box of chocs or a nice candle to the order.

We’ve got a lot of love for the Flower Station. It’s a London-based firm but they do a lot of flower deliveries in Manchester through its UK-wide delivery service. So apparently Manchester locals like them, too – and you can totally count us amongst the hordes. The prices are great (and varied, so if you want to really treat someone then you really can) and the quality is exceptional. We’ve also been more than a little impressed with their service, so consider yourself in good hands.

This excellent flower delivery service is another with UK-wide delivery options, but which seems to do a lot of business in Manchester. It’s a high-quality operation that’s been around for more than 14 years, delivering more than ten million bunches, bouquets and other pretty bits and bobs during that time. But the best bit? Arena Flowers has a firm focus on ethical sourcing, solely using ethical suppliers and Fairtrade-certified farms. 

Founded by the appropriately named Siân Wild, The Flower Lounge’s designs effortlessly blend classic concepts with a more relaxed, contemporary sensibility.

And if you're buying a present? Shift it up a gear with a cotton-scented candle and some honeycomb chocolate. Lovely.

Specialising in "beautiful flowers", it's no surprise Verdure has won numerous RHS gold medals. They have a focus on design, with each bouquet hand-crafted in-house at their boutique shop.

Plus, you can even design your own vases if you fancy getting a little creative with your gifting. 

Sure, you might have trawled through Etsy for personalised gifts, furniture or craft supplies but if you’re yet to discover its range of flowers, you’re in for a treat.

Give it a look.
