This package was a huge success for Mother’s Day, so we wanted to keep it on all year round for any occasion. Recipients reported feeling really special, loving the quality of the products and the detail of the packaging. It probably shouldn’t have come as a huge surprise that combining gin and Mother’s Day would get a warm reception!
It could be for someone that needs cheering up, a special event like a birthday, or for someone that has been a fabulous friend. Choose from the dropdown options at the checkout and, like with all our packages, we will ensure the packaging is tailored appropriately.

If you have any delivery queries or your gift is urgent/for delivery by a specific date such as a birthday, please contact us and we’ll do our best to help.
All parcels are automatically marked 'Leave with a neighbour' - experience has shown us that most people would prefer their parcel to be left somewhere rather than returned to the depot. This can be amended at the check out, including adding a safe place - please provide as much information as possible in order to help our couriers deliver your parcel quickly.
Standard Delivery (2-4 days)
For UK standard delivery, packages will be delivered by myHermes couriers. If you want to send a parcel outside of the UK, contact us on info@dontbuyherflowers.com and we will look in to the options with you. We have sent our packages all over the world so can let you know costs and some restrictions (ie aerosols - so the dry shampoo - cannot be sent outside the UK)
UK delivery will usually be within 2-4 working days from order*. We will aim to process your order in a quicker time wherever possible. The courier will make three attempts at delivery, usually over three consecutive days, leaving details of how to arrange redelivery if no one is in. After three failed attempts and no contact the parcel will be returned to us.
Next Day Delivery
Next Day Delivery orders need to be placed by midday to arrive between 7am and 8pm the following day. Deliveries are Monday to Friday only, so orders placed after midday on Thursday will be delivered on Monday.
Next Day delivery orders will be sent with DPD. The sender will be notified by email by DPD of any delivery updates, including a time slot on the day of delivery. We don't use the recipient's details as in most cases they aren't expecting a delivery and it would lead to confusion (or ruin the surprise!).
3 attempts will be made and if not successful the parcel will be taken to the local pick up point and a card will be left letting customer know all the relevent details.
Next day delivery is currently unavailable on international deliveries.
International Delivery
Deliveries to ROI will be carried out by MyHermes, with the same restrictions and delivery details as our Standard Delivery. COOK vouchers and Cake Tasting Club orders are unavailable for delivery outside the UK.
Additional information
For non-domestic addresses, please supply as much information as possible. Some hospitals or workplaces may have restricted entry to wards or office departments and if the courier cannot gain entry the parcel may be returned to us. Delays can occur with patients moving wards or being discharged from hospital, or businesses unable to receive deliveries at weekends. Our priority is to get your order safely in the hands of the recipient; contact info@dontbuyherflowers.com for further help.

**COOK and Cake Tasting Club deliveries are UK only and also cannot deliver to the Isle of Man and some postal areas in the Highlands of Scotland.Related products

Lovely words from my friend Jo who got the package today!
“Gorgeous women. Arrived home at 1130 this morning and a fabulous surprise turned up an hour later. Beautiful kind presents. I’ve already eaten the chocs and look forward to the Gin. Scarf is lovely too. Thank you. Made me smile and happy I’ve found fab friends.” Sisterhood. BOOM.

My grandma absolutely loved her any ‘any occasion’ package. She needed a bit of a boost whilst going through a particularly difficult anniversary alone, and this arriving on her doorstep made her cry with happiness, seriously! The scarf is beautiful, the chocolates delicious and the handcream really luxurious. If you want to give someone a little boost it’s worth every penny x
Katie Benbow –
I sent it to my best friend following the loss of her grandfather and she said it’s made both her and her mum cry! It’s times like this when chocolates, a scarf and most importantly GIN says so much more than flowers ever could – thank you for enabling me to give someone I love a moment of joy through the sadness.

I sent this package ti my sister-in-law who is in the final, all-consuming stage of completing her PhD. She was over the moon and sent me this note:
‘Thank you so so much for my wonderful parcel of joyful things! It absolutely made my day and was such a surprise to come back to. I love it all – I have munched my way through several choccies and am saving the gin and tonics for tomorrow when they will help me finish my introduction. And the scarf is absolutely gorgeous.’
It’s especially nice for me to be able to send parcels like these to people to let them know I’m thinking of them while I’m living a long way away, so thank you DBHF xx
I really really appreciate you both being so sweet and thinking about me – it really means a lot.
Val and Jim –
This lovely package was such a delightful surprise. As a Golden Wedding present it is perfect. The beautifully presented chocolates, hand cream, a scarf and two bottles of Gin and it are a lovely gift. Many thanks, Val and Jim

A BIG thank you for making my mum very happy on Mother’s Day!
She absolutely loved her package and said she felt very special. We always buy her flowers- which she loves but she felt utterly spoilt by her box of goodies. She said they were beautifully wrapped too!
Thanks again

I just wanted to share with you the lovely message I got from my Mum when she received her Mother’s day gift. The fact that thanks to you I was able to let her know that no matter where I may be I am always thinking of her is priceless. Another very happy customer.
Message from Mum: Thank you so much for my wonderful and totally unexpected present. I love the scarf, the handcream is lovely and the chocs scrumptious. They were all beautifully wrapped , with a pretty green ribbon and a hand-written tag. I felt thoroughly spoiled.
