In need of a last-minute gift? We’ve tested the most beautiful blooms, including sustainable, British-grown and same-day delivery options, for Valentine’s Day and beyond • The best letterbox gifts I pride myself on being an excellent gift-giver, and I truly believe the uplifting feeling of finding flowers on the doorstep is hard to beat (unless they’re from an ex who “just wants to talk” – never be that guy).

Flowers are such an easy win for the gift-giver, too. Whether it’s Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day or “just because”, there’s a plethora of online flower delivery services with a range of offerings.

Some provide next-day delivery (great if you’ve forgotten an important date and are scrambling); some will deliver flowers monthly via subscription; some will even slip in a box of chocolates, a bottle of fizz or a candle in the delivery.
