Gift ideas for besties

A good friend, especially a bestie, should never be taken for granted! Good friends are hard to come by and will stick by your side through breakups, makeups and everything in between. A thoughtful and personal Christmas gift is the perfect way to show your bestie how much you love and appreciate them! If you have a bestie who seems to already have everything, or if you are simply at a loss as to what to get them, don’t worry! We have shortlisted our top three gift ideas for a best friend.

1 - BYOB Flower Workshop

Looking to give an experience, as well as a physical gift? Look no further than our BYOB Flower Workshop. Flower Station’s workshop, provided by our very own floristry school ‘The Flower School’ is perfect for people of every level, whether you have never attempted flower arrangement before or you consider yourself to be somewhat of a pro. You will be working with the best fresh flowers of the season to design and create your very own bouquet (that you get to take home!). For just £75, you and your bestie will learn a new skill together, enjoy quality time with each other and take home a bespoke bouquet worth up to £80! You can also bring your own booze for even more fun.

What is so great about this gift is that it is something you and your friend can enjoy together! Flowers, a gorgeous glass of wine and precious quality time with your bestie make for a dreamy gift that you and your bestie will never forget.

2 - Droplet Hand Chain

We have a fabulous new addition to our offerings at the Flower Station - luxury jewellery! We are now stocking as part of our gifting experience, Reina by Rina jewellery. We are so excited to be partnering with this dynamic, London-based luxury jewellery brand run by a mother and daughter duo.

When deciding what gift to buy, you simply cannot go wrong with jewellery. What we love so much about giving a bestie a piece of jewellery is that it is something they can wear and have with them every single day, becoming a relic of your wonderful friendship.

This droplet hand chain by Reina by Ria (pictured below) is elegant and timeless, acting as the perfect accessory to any outfit whether staying in or going out. It is more than a bracelet, making the entire hand sparkle and shine!

3 - Belle Bouquet

You simply cannot go wrong with treating your bestie to a fresh, vibrant and luxurious bouquet of flowers, especially one as bright and happy as this one! Inspired by Belle from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, this bouquet is, of course, yellow, made up of golden yellow spray roses and hot pink roses. This elegant and vibrant, princess inspired bouquet, is a perfect gift for a special bestie who deserves to feel like a princess this Christmas.

Gift ideas for a romantic partner

Whether you have a wife, fiance, girlfriend or a situationship, they deserve to feel special and loved this Christmas! Don’t worry if you don’t have the time to think outside of the box for a show stopping present this year because we have you covered with our top three Christmas gift ideas for a special loved one.

1 - Cali Heart Paperclip Necklace

Jewellery is always a fabulous idea for a gift when looking for something sentimental yet elegant for a loved one. This necklace is perfect for a loved one, with its paper clip style chain, reminding your loved one of the unbreakable love and bond that you share.

2 - Infinity Roses

Roses have long been a classic romantic flower, making a gift of roses the ideal romantic gesture. So, what better way to say ‘I love you’ than with a gift of roses? Why not elevate your gift of roses by replacing your fresh roses with infinity roses? Infinity roses are fresh seasonal roses that have been preserved and displayed in an elegant box so that they last at least three years, allowing your loved one to love and appreciate your romantic gesture for longer! Love Rose UK is your one-stop shop for infinity roses, offering a singular rose to a more extravagant box of 16 infinity roses.

3 - Champagne

What better way to celebrate a loved one than with a luxurious bottle of champagne? What is so great about this gift idea is that you can enjoy it together, perhaps over a romantic home cooked dinner. A gift of champagne can also be seen as symbolic of the love that you have for your partner as champagne ages and deepens over time, just like the love you and your partner have for each other will develop and deepen over time.

Gift ideas for the host with the most

1 - Floral Tablescape Workshop

Are you buying a gift for someone who loves to host? Look no further than the Flower School by Flower Station’s floral tablescape workshop.

Gift ideas for the Eco-Warrior

In today’s day and age, with the climate crisis well under way, it has never been more important to look after our environment and so we have a lot to thank our eco-warriors for. At Flower Station we are committed to keeping our carbon footprint minimal and encourage all of our customers to do the same. Rest assured that every gift we recommend for an eco-warrior will be sustainable and eco-friendly!

1 - Letterbox Flowers

Letterbox Flowers are a perfect waste free gift to get an eco-warrior. Simply choose your flowers and they will be boxed and posted directly through the recipient’s door, enabling them to assemble their own bouquet, without the waste often involved in ready-made bouquets. As well as that, if you order your letterbox flowers from LetterBuds, they will plant a tree for every letterbox flower that they sell in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and mitigate the greenhouse gas effect!

2 - Atlanta Malachite Choker

This beautiful and luxurious choker by Reina by Ria is not only made from sustainable materials and designed with durability in mind in order to reduce unnecessary waste, but it is also green making it perfect for someone with green fingers!

Plants are an excellent choice when getting a gift to a friend! Not only do they reduce carbon dioxide, but they are also incredibly sustainable and can last years if cared for correctly! Treat your favourite eco-warrior with a spider plant and give them the perfect green accessory for their home.

Gift ideas for the New Parents
