Why are we giving away so many flowers?
It's simple: because we believe in giving. Because giving is so much more than just pushing something into someone's hands. It's the thought that counts. And, of course, that special person you want to connect with.
Give something special
You give something special when you give flowers: you give a sentiment. You make someone instantly happier – or lift their spirits when things aren't going so well. And what makes your gift extra special is your choice of flowers. That's because you say something different with every flower. Thank you very much, for example. Or: I am there for you. Or: I like you. It doesn't matter whether it's for something big or small, for your nearest and dearest, or for someone you've only just met. Because everyone deserves flowers. For those big, important occasions or ‘just because…’.
How does it work?
This competition is all about showing you how enjoyable it is to give flowers. That's why you can enter every day for the chance to surprise someone (or even yourself!) with a spectacular bouquet. Your challenge is to either tell or show us – in the most fun, beautiful or original way – why your friend, colleague, mother, neighbour, brother, granny or receptionist deserves flowers. All that we ask is that you keep to the theme of the day, because we will surprise you every day with a new reason.
