Baby gifts have become increasingly popular to celebrate that special new arrival.A great idea is the ‘nappy cake’ in which several layers of baby clothing, nappies and wraps are arranged like tiers of a cake, and then wrapped up in clear cellophane and ribbon for a spectacular gift. These can be colour-coded for a new boy or girl, and make a memorable and useful gift.
A ‘teddy bouquet’ is another great innovation from the Perth florist, which is a bunch of tiny teddies wrapped in feathers and coloured paper to look like a beautiful posy of flowers.’Baby cupcakes’ made from baby clothes such as rompers and socks, arranged in silicon cupcake moulds in pastel colours, are extremely popular.
For other events such as birthdays and anniversaries, gift hampers such as ’bubbles and blooms’ which comprises a bottle of sparkling wine and champagne with gorgeous flowers ensures the celebrations are spirited.
And when it comes to flower deliveries, some interesting trends are emerging ! Men are increasingly on the receiving end, according to Ennis Flowers of Perth.In their experience, there is greater demand for flower and gift hampers that are specially created for men.Ideas for these include gourmet foodstuffs, flowers in vibrant colours such as red and blue, and gifts such as corkscrews and wine holders.
Balloons are a firm favourite with men and women to celebrate any occasion.And for other significant occasions during the year, such as Easter and Christmas, people are choosing to send hampers that contain flowers and gifts.
