Instead of Flowers: Your Questions Answered
What can I send instead of flowers for a sympathy gift?
People are often overwhelmed with flowers — a thoughtful gift can have more impact. Good alternatives include a beautiful throw, a scented candle, a keepsake vessel, or something practical like a beautiful vase to hold the flowers they receive. We've curated a range of considered, higher-end pieces specifically for this.
What's a good gift for someone recovering from surgery or illness?
Look for something comforting rather than decorative — a soft robe, a textured throw, a beautiful mug for the many cups of tea ahead, or a diffuser with a calming scent. Practical comfort tends to mean more than a bunch of blooms that need tending to.
Why choose a gift over flowers for a celebration?
A celebration gift becomes part of someone's home long after the day itself. Where flowers say "congratulations" for a week, a well-chosen piece — from Marimekko, Kip & Co, or one of our other international brands — says it for years.
Do you deliver sympathy and celebration gifts NZ-wide?
Yes, we ship orders every week day. We also offer gift wrapping on all our products, so what arrives feels special from the moment it's received.
How much should I spend on a gift instead of flowers?
Our Instead of Flowers collection sits in the mid-to-higher price range, generally from $75 to $150, in line with buying a bunch of flowers and reflecting pieces that are made to last rather than made to be disposable.
