Looking for something more lasting than flowers? Discover thoughtful gifts for sympathy, get well wishes, thank-yous and celebrations, with delivery throughout New Zealand.
Sometimes you want to send something more lasting than a bunch of flowers. Our Gifts Instead of Flowers collection brings together thoughtful gifts for sympathy, get well wishes, thank-yous, celebrations and other times when you want someone to know you’re thinking of them.
Choose from beautiful, useful and design-led gifts for the home, with options at different price points and delivery throughout New Zealand.
A thoughtful gift can be a lovely alternative to sympathy flowers, particularly if you'd like to give something the recipient can keep and use. Consider a beautiful throw, candle, vase, mug or another comforting piece for their home.
We’ve selected our Gifts Instead of Flowers collection to make it easier to find something appropriate when you’re not quite sure what to send.
Comfort is a good place to start. A soft robe or throw, a favourite mug for cups of tea, or a beautiful candle or diffuser can be a thoughtful way to let someone know you're thinking of them while they recover.
Choose something that suits the person rather than the occasion — it doesn't need to look like a traditional "get well" gift.
If you'd like to send something that lasts beyond the occasion, consider a piece the recipient can use or enjoy at home. Beautiful kitchenware, homewares, candles, throws and other design-led pieces can all make memorable birthday, congratulations or celebration gifts.
A small, well-chosen gift can be a more personal alternative to sending flowers. Depending on the person and your budget, consider a beautiful mug, candle, kitchenware, bath or body product, or something special for their home.
There’s no right amount, but many of the gifts in our Instead of Flowers collection are between $75 and $150, similar to the cost of a beautiful bunch of flowers. The difference is that you’re choosing something designed to be kept, used and enjoyed long after it arrives.
We also have options above and below this range, so you can choose something that suits both the occasion and your budget.
