Wow, are we glad to see the sun after two weeks of almost constant rain! Can't wait for summer and gardens filled with flowers.
Our very clever neighbour, the ever-creative florist Marida of
Paradiso Flowers came up with this brilliant idea: if you dislike wrapping gifts in paper because it immediately ends up in the rubbish bin, why not consider flowers instead? A flower wrapping makes a gorgeous presentation and at least lasts a while!
We decided to focus on scatter cushions as a flower-wrapped gift idea. For instance, give a soft cuddly cushion to comfort a sick friend and add a posy that says "I care". Or tie the customary bunch of flowers to a cushion as a hostess gift next time you're invited to dinner. A scatter is also an ideal housewarming gift, if chosen with the recipient's room scheme in mind. A soft pillow as a baby shower gift will be much appreciated by a new mum to prop up herself at feeding time.
Whatever the occasion, this versatile gift will remind them of you and the message of love and care of your flowers long after the flowers have wilted
