In "Floral Gifts", Jacky Hobbs shows how innovative containers can be used to create gorgeous floral offerings that are almost too good to give away. The charm of these floral gifts lies not only in the fresh blooms, but also the containers in which they are imaginatively presented. You could present a keen cook with a pestle and mortar planted up with culinary herbs, for example, or give a wine lover a bottle of his favourite vintage set among vines and grapes. The ideas in this book allow anyone to transform a simple bunch of flowers into something special, creating a momory that the recipient will always cherish. Bought flower arrangements swathed in cellophane can be expensive and impersonal, but these thoughtfully devised gifts come straight from the heart. *Dozens of pretty and quirky ideas for birthdays, Christmas and other special occasions, such as St. Valentine's Day, Christmas and Mother's Day. *Lively photography by Michelle Garrett.
