Is it ok to send flowers....?

My son sent me a ‘High Tea’ on mother’s day. It was a welcome treat as I was shielded and having difficulty getting even basic supplies.
As far as I can see the risk of getting the virus from delivered items is low.

There are quite a few on line companies doing gift packages now.. you don’t need to stick to flowers.

From what you have wrote your sister is like me I loved going out on my schooter as much as I could it's my birthday nx week and its going to be really hard me not seeing my daughter and 2 grandsons my daughter might send me flowers but do you know what I would love we are on WhatsApp I would love them to make cards for me show them on our WhatsApp and sing happy birthday I know for me this wont happen because I cant really tell her what I want but it might give you an idea what you could do for your sister I hope this might give you an idea if you're not on WhatsApp why not send her a photo of the card you have made let me know what you think

Grannybags, send some flowers the thought alone will lift her spirits. I have had 2 bloom and wild gifts recently and although the flowers can look a bit wilted they perk ip in water in no time at all and lasted a good 2 weeks for me.

You can have flowers sent in a letter box size box. Moonpig do them...

You could always send her an edible bouquet, made of lollipops, I think, and there are also some sock companies that do bouquets

Yes, send some flowers they should brighten her day. I recently sent some to friends from M&S and they were very pleased. Don’t take too long to decide though as all the companies are saying that it takes longer to deliver now, no next day deliveries. So allow a good week.

I've been sending little gifts to my granddaughters via amazon. I am locked down in Tenerife and don't want them to forget me. They are locked down in uk and the little craft sets help their mums in a small way as the days are long and boredom sets in. So I don't think sending presents can do any harm.

Grannybags, what a lovely thought.
I'm sheilding and two of my children have sent me flowers, it has certainly lifted my spirits.

I have sent flowers from an online company, I frequently use, Prestige Flowers to my cousin, the night sister in a care home, who has been off for four weeks, suffering from the virus. She was absolutely delighted to get them.
They have also reduced their prices at the moment, obviously to encourage people to send flowers.

I have also just sent my daughter, a chocolate basket from the same company, as she is very low just now.

Yes, send flowers, it’s a beautiful gift to receive and shows that you care!

I sent my flowers to my DD just to let her know she was doing a wonderful job at the moment. I got M & S roses and they were just beautiful and DD loved them. Got on special offer too which was nice. Def worth it.

I would try to use a florist local to her - I used an online florist last week for my friend's birthday as she suffers with depression and is isolating alone, the flowers never arrived - I e-mailed them but have had no reply and their phone is constantly engaged.

My mother gets monthly letterbox flowers from me from Bloom and Wild from her Christmas present. However they do arrive looking underwhelming I gather and then improve, as it says on the tin, so to speak. I know this because she has nothing else to talk about on the shine and I get a day by day, flower by flower account of how they are coming into their own. As a reasonably priced monthly gift it has been great, but for a one off birthday gift why not see if there are any hand deliveries still going on.

I got flowers from Bloom & Wild on my birthday this Monday - -sent from Indonesia where my youngest daughter currently is. It was such a happy thing.

Yes, definitely send flowers - I ‘m sure a delivery would lift her spirits.

It sent flowers through efloritstand had a lovely thank you - I was told the flowers were gorgeous.. We all love receiving flowers - nice idea.

I've a relative in an elderly care home which is accepting flowers.

I have just received letterbox flowers from Bloom and Wild and they are gorgeous. I just washed my hands after opening the cardboard box and felt that was being careful enough.

Bloom and wild are excellent. Letterbox delivery if you want too

We have been sending flowers within the family from Bloom and Wild and Waitrose - all letterbox flowers no-one has succumbed but all have been lifted by the flowers.

I asked the family not to send flowers on Mothering Sunday and it is my birthday in two weeks and I will again ask for no flowers. We have the second highest incidence of the virus outside of London where I live, I do not trust anyone.

If she’s immune suppressed I really would check it out first.

I'm sure it would be really uplifting for her to receive a lovely bouquet of flowers. Apart from anything else it would show that she is not forgotten and that she has people who care about her.

She is immune suppressed because of RA medication.

Thanks for all your replies. I'll have a look at your suggestions Sussexborn

That wasn’t anything to do with Covid.

I’ve got no idea about that.
