Welcome to the Bunches Blog!

It was fundraising time in the office again on Friday 19th March! We decided to help a good cause by dressing up in sports gear to support the Sport Relief charity weekend. I'm sure you will all enjoy looking at the team making fools of themselves all in the name of charity!

For many of us, healthy eating New Year's resolutions are easily broken by chocolate temptation during Easter. Whether a loved one is watching their weight or just not a chocolate fan, flowers make a perfect Easter gift alternative to enjoy guilt-free - and are sure to last a lot longer than eggs!

Here at Bunches we've got a great selection of floral gifts which are sure to create a smile without compromising the calorie count! The 'Delightful Daffodils' bouquet is the essence of spring which includes 20 delicately scented stems with vibrant yellow buds. The 'Flight of Fancy' bouquet includes mixed colour Carnation stems together with yellow Freesias completed with 3 handmade butterflies which are really long lasting, meaning they can be enjoyed for weeks after Easter Sunday has passed.

Not to forget chocoholics who just can't resist a little indulgent treat this Easter, we're also offering mini chocolate eggs as an optional add-on gift during Easter week – yummy!

We have uploaded our recent coverage by Central News for mother's day to YouTube which you can find here.

With Mother's Day now been and gone, make sure to check out our new Easter Range.

Regular readers will know about how Bunches are helping to support the Beech Boys Water Aid Atlantic Challenge, the extract below from their Transatlantic Blog just goes to show that just because you're out in the middle of the Atlantic doesn't mean you can forget Mother's Day!

"We did remember it was Mothers Day! Sat phone did the job enabling us to speak to our Mums, while flowers sent from Bunches also helped pass on the message of appreciation to our Mums, they are brilliant!"

Every week we receive many letters of thanks from customers who have been so happy with the flowers and service they have received from Bunches. However, when we surprised 21 of our loyal customers with a luxury platinum bouquet to celebrate our 21st Birthday in February, we didn't expect the large amount of cards in return to say thank you.

It's so lovely hearing from all of our customers, but here is one poem we received that made us all smile:

"Platinum is richer than Gold,
Well that's what I've always been told,
So, did the Sherriff of Notts send this gift,
To give my heart a breathtaking lift?
No, no, not him quite a different 'Bunch',
The sort to give flowers and take a girl out to lunch,
And when they answer the phone with warm sounding voices,
They help you at once to sort out the choices,
So thanks for my platinum floral bouquet,
They are glorious and truly have made my day!"
