Eatable Flower Arrangements
If you are looking for a slightly different gift to send to somebody special, you may be interested in learning about eatable flower arrangements. By eatable flower arrangements, I of course do not mean carefully arranged sage and parsley. Instead I am talking about the latest trend of sending people various fruits, sweets and other treats that have been carefully arranged in baskets to look like standard flower arrangements. Considering they are a relatively new gift idea, I will now outline the questions that most people tend to have when they first hear about them.
What's in Eatable Flower Arrangements?
There are a wide variety of eatable flower arrangements and an even wider variety of possible ingredients. Though some actual eatable flowers are included, they are usually only a small percentage and primarily used for aesthetic purposes. Instead most eatable flower arrangements contain a mixture of exotic fruits, candy and chocolate, with fruit covered in chocolate being particularly popular.
Where can I Buy Eatable Flower Arrangements?
Eatable flower arrangements are actually not yet that common and that is what makes them such a great gift idea. The best place to purchase them is online where a number of start ups are currently specialising in them. Some of the larger florists also stock them but you shouldn't bet on being able to walk into to your local florist to purchase one.
How Much Are Eatable Flower Arrangements?
The price varies just as much as regular flower arrangements. The price will obviously depend on both what is included and how big the basket actually is. You can expect to spend at least fifty pounds however. Also if you are in fact planning on purchasing eatable flower arrangements online, you will also have to pay postage which can be pretty expensive due to the weight of the typical basket.
Why Are Eatable Flower Arrangements Proving So Popular?
At the moment most people buy them due to their novelty value because they are so new and different. However the idea behind them is that they are very romantic gifts much like flowers but instead of just putting them in a vase, the person special to you gets to enjoy a tasty treat. You can therefore expect sales of eatable flower arrangements to sky rocket come Valentines Day.
So in conclusion, if you are looking to purchase a gift that is a little bit different, eatable flower arrangements could be exactly what you are looking for. They may not be the cheapest gift out there but what better way to tell someone you love them then an item that is a combination of both flowers and chocolate.
