.... just when I thought I'd got it all done, I have 2 more pressies to buy.
I was thinking flowers or bulbs (arranged bulbs, not loose!), something a bit special
(but not too complicated!). About £20 - £25 each. Oh, and available online.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,

Liz

Amaryllis? Try searching for John Lewis and Marks & Spencer flowers. I
don't *know* that they 'do' bulbs but there's a strong possibility.

Crocus have a nice line in 'a bit different' houseplants and citrus -

They also sell amaryllis bulbs -

They aren't the cheapest, but they are reasonably reliable.

Regarding Amaryllis; I heard Pippa Greenwood say that often the
amaryllis bulbs sold in packs with pot and compost, are smaller than
those you can buy loose. Maybe make up your own pack, so you can
chose the bulb(s). (but not if you are buying on line!) 3 amaryllis
would make rather a stunning display.

Ooh! that's a nice idea. I used to get florists to arrange flowers in a vase I'd
bought. Same sort of idea really.
