The Flower Effect
I have fallen more than a little in love with a sweet film I first saw on You Tube. ‘The Flower Effect’ has been produced by an initiative of The Flower Council of Holland, Funnyhowflowersdothat.co.uk , and is designed to show that flowers can bring happiness and joy to even the most miserable of days. It features a beautiful young girl called Sophie, who finds a beautiful bouquet left beside her on a park bench. She thinks the flowers may be from Paul, the man she loves. Unfortunately, this proves to not be the case and a forlorn Sophie is left to walk the streets with her flowers. However, the…

Valentine’s Day Ideas from Hotel Chocolat
If the way to a woman’s heart is via the stomach, you can pretty much guess that every signpost on route will be labelled ‘chocolate’. And so, with Valentine’s day now within walking distance, it seems like a box of choccies is a sensible, if safe option as a gift for you Valentine. But if this is the option you are taking, make sure you do it in style. And by that, I mean with one of the sumptuous collections from leading British chocolatiers, Hotel Chocolat. Hotel Chocolat takes chocolate to the next level, with a range of unusual ingredients and flavours that are a gourmet’s delight. The lovely Beau-Jane…

Glow in the Dark Roses from Interflora – The perfect gift for Halloween
I love anything that is quirky, original and new. And the flowers I received in the post last week certainly fit all those labels. Interflora have launched a superb and beautiful bouquet of roses that have a real twist to them. Look at them in daylight and they are an exquisite collection of creamy white Avalanche roses, but wait until nighttime falls and you will see that these roses are anything but normal. These roses actually glow in the dark! The special spooky blooms are a limited edition for Halloween and I think they are just brilliant. Imagine that you are having a Halloween party. Can you imagine anything more…
