AD Freddies Flowers Review

November 5, 2017 Leave a Comment

As a single girl, without my own house, I NEVER get flowers, or buy them for myself. (I did used to when I had my own place, and I will again when I buy a house this year) So when Freddie’s Flowers got in touch to see if I wanted to review their flowers through the post offering, of course I wanted to. Flowers, through the post-for ME? I’m all over that. Here’s my Freddie’s Flowers review for you guys.

Freddie’s Flowers are a little bit different. They’re actually a flower subscription service, and for just £22 a month you get a weekly delivery of flowers through your door, each one a different theme, with tips on how to arrange them too!

Frankly, you’d pay about that price for two bunches of supermarket flowers (which there’s nothing wrong with, but there tends to be less variety to choose from in your average Tesco) so I don’t think this is a bad price at all. Oh, and they’ve given me a 10% off code too to share with you guys: LHFF10

The packing of the flowers I received for my Freddie's Flowers review

The bouquet I was sent was far more unusual than I expected-who knew there were sometimes actual cabbages in a bouquet of flowers!? They arrived in a big box-definitely not something that’ll fit through the door so you’ll need to be in to receive delivery or be able to pickup from the sorting office quickly-wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. There are lots of flowers, enough for a big vase, I had to throw some away as I couldn’t make them all fit! The flowers come with an information card telling me what each one is and suggesting how they should be arranged-helpful, because flower arranging is not my forte. With the help of the guide though I think I did a fairly good job.

My flowers I received for my Freddie's Flowers review

I love the idea of a flower subscription box-it’d be a great gift for Christmas, especially for a relative you don’t live close enough to to take flowers yourself. I could see my Grandma loving these, or my Mum maybe.

*I was sent this bouquet of flowers by Freddie’s Flowers in return for an honest review. All thoughts, words, opinions and photos in this post are my own.

About Me

Welcome to my little corner of the Internet! I'm Laura, a 33 year old Yorkshire girl aiming to see as much of the world as I can, usually by myself. I'm a big fan of animal print, bright lipstick, gin liqueurs, cocktails, photography, writing and booking flights. I'm in love with a Lhasapoo called Buster and if I don't have my phone, laptop or a camera in my hand, you probably need to ask if I'm feeling okay. I blog about short city breaks, usually solo, on a budget without a hostel in sight. I also cover food reviews, life with Fibromyalgia, and there's a bit of lifestyle content thrown in when the mood takes me. I'm aiming to have visited 40 different countries before I turn 40, so I have 7 years left. Coronavirus has slightly changed my plans for 2020 but so far I'm 17 countries into the challenge and as long as September and October remain safe to travel I'm adding Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria, Romania, Serbia and a couple of others to the list before this year ends. I love working with brands on sponsored/collaborative content and if you're a travel or food related company, or just someone you think I'll love, please do get in touch.

I absolutely haven't taken Instagram or the blog a I absolutely haven't taken Instagram or the blog all that seriously in 2020 and barely posted on either. That's fine, obviously, but I miss both, so for 2021 I want to be back to daily Instagram posts, finding people to follow that bring me joy, learning the best hashtags to use and trying to make a bit of progress on here. Hoping I'll get a fair bit of travel in in the second half of the year to help with this too. Happy New Year, Instagram!
Walking quickly out of 2020... This year has been Walking quickly out of 2020...

This year has been a bloody weird one hasn't it. Not just with the Pandemic, although obviously that's been a big part of it, but dealing with the hangover from a breakup, trying to make my new house a home, maintaining friendships when I can't see anyone and I'm not good on Zoom, and A LOT of overtime at work. Work has been going really well though and I'm excited to see what 2021 brings me there. I do know that I miss properly using Instagram, and writing on Inside Laura's Head, and I'm currently writing my 2021 goals post as we speak. What are you looking forward to in 2021?
Vienna, after only 24 hours in the city, has becom Vienna, after only 24 hours in the city, has become one of those 'I really need to go back to....' places on my travel list. On Thursday I posted over on the blog about what I did during my day in the city, I wasn't sure whether to post this so close to the horrible events they've had this week but actually, I think sharing how amazing the city is is a very positive thing. Link to the post is, as ever, in my bio, if you want to go and have a read
I've spent today working overtime and listening to I've spent today working overtime and listening to a new audiobook, 'The Year Of Living Danishly' by @mshelenrussell. Ive finished it in a day, loved it and want to go back to Copenhagen now as well as exploring more of Denmark. But for now, I will stay at home, be sensible, and add Denmark to my plan for if things work out for next year. 📷: @fordtography

I've been home from my trip for 48 hours now and I I've been home from my trip for 48 hours now and I've got that never been away feeling, as well as over 300 photos to edit and at least 6 blog posts to write. I wasnt sure how I'd feel about Vienna and I only had a day there but it turns out it's a city I'll definitely return to, as there's so much more I want to see now.

My last stop in Vienna (maybe, depending on how I My last stop in Vienna (maybe, depending on how I feel in the morning!) was St Stephens Cathedral where I tried Chimney Cake (yum) and Schnitzel (meh) before heading back to my apartment and collapsing onto the sofa. Tomorrow I have an hour ish to the train, 4 hours on the train, a 2 hour flight then an hours drive home, after maybe 30 mins to get to my car. I suspect Monday is going to be a flare and a half 😑
