Cupid Approved Gifts From Pod & Pip

Although it may still feel like Christmas was only a second ago (still trying to shed those mince pie pounds), Valentine’s Day is already just around the corner.

Whether you’re loved up with the partner of your dreams, or spending it with your single sistas, we love Valentine’s Day and the excuse to show someone special that you truly care for them. That could be a close friend, family member or love interest – it’s always nice to show a little appreciation, isn’t it?

This V-Day we’ll be heading straight to Pod & Pip to select from an array of gorgeous floral bouquets. And no we don’t mean the type you pick up from the garage the night before, show someone you truly love them with an elegant arrangement of stunning fleurs…faux glitter and turquoise blue won’t be found here!

Having tired of the daily commute, Sarah Williamson Jones decided to ditch the corporate world to pursue her passion, welcome Pod & Pip! We love a girl who follows her dreams, and can’t help but feel a little jealous of Sarah who spends more time in her beautiful garden and less time on the A34 these days.

Sarah’s idea was simple, a fresh bunch of flowers delivered on a Friday each week. Order a bouquet as a one off, or sign up to a handy subscription providing you a beautiful bunch of stems on a fortnightly or monthly basis. We don’t know about you but our apartment never feels quite like ‘home’ unless we have a beautiful bouquet on our coffee table!

Offering seasonal flowers, Pod & Pip promises no chrysanthemums or carnations – PHEW! We learnt in our teenage years (thanks to Carrie Bradshaw and Charlotte York) that these are simply just ‘filler flowers’ and we just don’t need those in our life. The bouquets all have a subtle, natural feel as if just scooped from the bottom of an English countryside garden. They’re even hand tied and accompanied with a hand-written note – we love such attention to detail!

If you’re based locally to the Wiltshire area, you can also book you and your gal pals onto a flower workshop. Learn how to create your own bouquet with Sarah herself to take home and proudly display. Sign us up!

To celebrate Valentines Day Pod & Pip are offering a gorgeous special edition Flower Box, the perfect gift for a special lady. The Pod & Pip team have teamed up with independent chocolatiers Choose Chocolate to create a simply wonderful box full with scrumptious treats and fresh flowers.

Select from tulips (our favourite), spring flowers, spray roses or ranunculus to accompany the sweet treats! Flavours include raspberry & roasted coconut, orange and rose, chai tea and biscuit caramelised hazelnut and popping candy. Flowers and chocolate? What more could a girl want!

The Pod & Pip Valentines Flower Boxes are priced at just £30 including postage and packaging via Royal Mail. Place your order in time for Valentines Day now at podandpip.co.uk and we won’t blame you if you happen to accidentally order two bouquets. A girls gotta treat herself, right?
