Florists shops can be a bit daunting.  They ask you what you want and the truth is I never know exactly.  I generally want something that will look nice and that is reasonably priced, but I get a bit bamboozled because I can’t pull the names of the flowers out of my head (and I’m a reasonably keen gardener).  Now some florists are really helpful, but I do find it a bit hit and miss – last time I had to buy flowers, I had to spell out to them that I needed quite a lot of help deciding, before I got that assistance. One of the advantages of buying flowers online is that all this is made easy.  You can see pictures and pick out the sort of bouquet you’d like to send.  You can look at several that might be suitable before making your mind up.

Another big plus point for me is it’s much easier to find what you want at a price you are happy with.  You don’t feel embarrassed asking for the minimum price of a bouquet because it’s all there to see.  You don’t need to worry about the relative prices of different sorts of flowers because when you shop online, the pricing is usually very transparent.  Before you hit the purchase button it will all be there including the price of delivery.  I certainly find it easier.

Blossoming Gifts offer a wide range of great value flowers and gifts for all occasions. You can choose from fresh hand-tied flowers, unique gifts, as well as an extensive range of hampers and wines, all of which are available for next day delivery throughout the UK.  For the floral gifts, there’s a small team of experienced florists who design and create each of the hand-tied bouquets. They use the freshest flowers, to guarantee the bouquet will stay fresh for up to 7 days. You can also add your very own personalised gift message to all of their bouquets free of charge.

All of Blossoming Gifts’ hamper suppliers are UK based, and the majority of products are sourced from within the UK. It’s not just food gifts either, you can choose from a range of delightful wine gifts for all occasions, including flowers and wine, champagne and sparkling wine and cases of wine. Personalised gifts are available too, from personalised jewellery to personalised alcohol gifts, so you can send your loved one a unique gift for less. Blossoming Gifts’ range of personalised gifts are made right here in the UK and all of the paper that is used in for personalised gifts also comes from the UK, and abides by EU timber legislation.

BubbleBum is a portable, lightweight, inflatable and deflatable car booster seat for children aged between 4 – 11 years old, which is perfect for travel as it easily deflates and packs away in its own bag.  Established in 2009 and retailing in 26 countries currently, the BubbleBum is prefect for traveling, carpooling, rental cars, taxis, holidays and you can even fit three in a row, even in a small car.  It’s the sort of thing you can easily sling in the boot of your car, so that you can easily and safely offer a lift to a family with a child.

The BubbleBum retails at £29.99 and comes in classic black, so there will be no arguments about the ‘pink one’ or similar.  It’s got a lot going for it including:

• it’s portable and easy to pack
• inflatable and deflatable
• re-useable
• lightweight – vital when you have a baggage allowance to keep to
• inflates by mouth – taking less than 20 seconds to inflate so you won’t be out of puff
• folds down to fit in small places
• packs away into its very own stretchy bag
• comfortable to sit on
• money-saving (saves on hiring seats) and its affordably priced
• with added shoulder belt positioning clip for extra comfort and safety

I always think that spring is a good time for a new look and I think a lot of us like to update our wardrobe to include some new items, when the sun finally shows its face again after a long winter. But it shouldn’t just be about new clothes and I like to update the look of other things too like the soft furnishings in my house. It’s a good time for a new phone or tablet case too, something a bit brighter maybe or just more summery, perfect for when you are out and about taking photos outside.

It doesn’t just have to look good though, better still if it’s practical too. The Speck GrabTab is a slim grip-assist accessory that provides a secure hold on your device without adding extra bulk.  This nifty little accessory even doubles up as a phone stand, which is perfect for sending e-mails, cooking with a recipe, or winding down with a movie at the end of a tough day.

Spring is also a time of year when I like to get more active.  Sometimes that’s working hard running, but even just walking more in the outdoors is so much more appealing when the sun is shining.  Speck’s Presidio Sport is the perfect case for any gym-goer.  It features an anti-microbial layer, 360 degree port coverage and 3-meter drop protection, making it ideal for the gym or outdoor walks.

The good news for readers is that I’ve teamed up with Speck and have one of each to give away. For your chance to win, enter via the Gleam widget below.
