Hello treasure troves,

I was going to be all organised and have these ready for Mother’s Day but that’s just 2 days away as I type so… oops.

But who says flowers are just for Mother’s Day or just for women anyway? Send them my way if they dare to utter any such nonsense.

I have designed 4 little cheery floral desk buddies which can be personalised with a word or two. Perhaps a name, special date or a thank you. They start from £6.50 blank, with personalisation just £1.00 extra. Why not pick a card to go with them? If you’d like me to send them directly to your recipient I can do that at no extra charge with a handwritten message inside the card. I’ll even do my very best handwriting.

But what reason might I send one of these, Rosie?

I’m so glad you asked. How about:

• thank you

• good luck

• congratulations

• thinking of you

• birthday

• engagement

• get well soon

• new home

• a just-because-the-world-is-crap-and-this-might-make-it-less-so-for-a-bit gift

Feel free to add your own!

So while we still can’t really be with the ones we love, why not let them know you’re thinking of them every day? Mark a special occasion or no occasion at all with something that won’t even need a vase or those weird little packets of flower food that I’m pretty sure is just sugar.
