Bunches' Feline Friends Part 3

Posted By Dave on

Lemon Drizzle

Our boxes have always seemed popular with cats and Thomas here is no exception. Thomas has 4 boxes in different places in his home and uses them all regularly.

Many thanks to Thomas and his owners Mary & Graham Forster for sending in the picture.

If your pet has made a home in a Bunches box, post a pic on our Facebook wall.

Gorgeous Summer Bouquets

Posted By Laura on

Oriental Orchids

We've been patiently waiting for Summer to arrive here at Bunches HQ, the unpredictable weather has us all in a twist - do we wear boots or flipflops, a warm jumper or a summery t-shirt?

We're hoping that this recent burst of summer sunshine means that our British summertime has finally kicked in and we can continue to enjoy warm summer evenings, bright beautiful days and tasty BBQ's with family and friends.

Despite the British weather getting up to its usual tricks, we've been busy creating a gorgeous summer range of colourful bouquets including Sunflower Meadow, Venus and Summer Garden. Perfect for brightening up any home, our new summer bouquets are sure to create smiles and spread warm summer cheer!

Here's to a long hot summer!

Spring has sprung!

Posted By Laura on

Damson Delight

Even though the weather may not agree, Spring has well and truly sprung. Cherry Blossom has started making an appearance (especially on my own Cherry trees!) and we finally have lighter evenings!

The arrival of Spring has us all excited at Bunches HQ as we eagerly await the warm Summer weather that is (hopefully!) just around the corner and we've been busy putting together a colourful range of Spring bouquets perfect for brightening up your loved ones home this Springtime.

Saturday the Sunflower

Posted By Dave on

Lilac Dream

We use Facebook in a variety of ways from showing off our newest bouquets and competitions, to pictures of our Baxter Bear on his adventures!

On some occasions we like to ask our fans fun questions and recently we asked "If Saturday was a flower what would it be?" We had plenty of suggested flowers, but here are the top 5;

Sunflower 19%
Daisy 17%
Lily 9%
Daffodil 9%
Tulips 9%

So according to our lovely Facebook fans, if Saturday was a flower it would be a sunny Sunflower. Let's hope we see some more sunshine soon!

Why not pop over to our Facebook page and join in the fun!

International Mother's Day

Posted By Dave on

Oriental Orchids

Mother's Day is celebrated around the world at different times of the year. For instance we celebrate it on Mothering Sunday, which is the fourth Sunday in Lent.

However most, but not all, of the rest of the world celebrates Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May, in this case on the 12th of May.

Wherever you are from and whenever you celebrate it, Mother's Day is a day to honour the person you call Mum, Mom, Mother, Mutter, Maman, Okaasan, Madre...

Your Bunches Poem...

Posted By Dave on

Simply Pink Gift Bag

As many of you will know our Facebook page is a great place to go for bouquet information, competitions, discounts and just for a bit for fun!

We recently asked our Facebook fans to help us create a limerick, a line at a time. Over the course of the day it turned into more of a poem but we are really pleased with the result. We would like to thank everyone who took part in the creation of the poem.

There is a warehouse full of flowers
With scents that last for many hours
with more colours than a rainbow
That pick you up when you're feeling low
So, why not brighten someone's day,
by heading over to Bunches.co.uk

Easter Cheer

Posted By Laura on

Purity

We don't know about you, but here at Bunches HQ we're looking forward to the Easter weekend and all the goodness it brings!

First of all, we get to indulge ourselves in copious amounts of chocolate without feeling at all guilty! Secondly, the clocks go forward on Sunday 31st which means the British Summertime officially begins (although you wouldn't have thought it considering the crazy weather we've been having recently!) Last but by no means least, it's the perfect time to spend with family and friends, reminding each other how much you care and enjoying a well earned Easter break.

Why not take a peek at our colourful range of Easter bouquets and send some Easter cheer to someone special - a perfect way to brighten up your loved ones home during this wintry weather!
