Depends what you want. A dozen roses would tend to be about £30 I think, yeah.

I always find a local florist in the area I want them delivered using yell or google whatever and ring them direct - so far I'm yet to be dissapointed..

Interflora takes a significant cut of your spend before the florist gets paid. also speaking with a human being allows you to "personalise" wht is being sent in some way if you know the recipient has preferences...

Indeed! Thankfully Mrs Arese-to-be insists on no flowers for Hallmark Valentines Day. I just cook a slap-up meal!

This it true, although I've also been very pleased with the results when contacting a florist local to the area. The clincher in getting them delivered to where she works so all her pals get to see them smile

First question when you ring them - "Do you deliver?"...

Think about it
