Not Another Bunch Of Flowers was set up in 2013 following my cancer diagnosis. Friends and family wanted to send me a little something along with messages of support, but just didn't know what to send - apart from flowers. Not many people know that flowers are banned in most hospitals. This inspired me to set up a site selling gift alternatives to flowers, including cancer care packages, hospital hampers and get well gifts. We quickly expanded to offer all sorts of unique and thoughtful gifts for all occasions including new mums, new baby gifts, mums-to-be and presents for birthdays, Christmas, thank yous and just because... Our build-your-own gifts and care packages have allowed us to offer even more gifts including christenings, new homes, weddings, engagements and anniversaries. And our corporate packages with their emphasis on wellbeing have been hugely popular since the initial lockdown.

What Our Customers Say
I'm not a big fan of flowers due to the influx of flowers during my cancer diagnosis. When my best friend was also diagnosed I knew straightaway where go for a thoughtful, cancer-friendly gift. I also lost a friend and bought a lovely gift for her parents from here too. Everything on the site has been thought about so whatever you're looking at has been carefully considered. However, the winning aspect is the packaging - I know that whatever I order will be sent direct to the recipient beautifully and lovingly packaged.

What an amazing page! So many perfect ideas for that moment when you just don't know what to do for someone! Lovely cards, well packaged, fast delivery and a lovely email advising me of delivery times. You just can't beat that personal touch! Highly recommended, will definitely be purchasing from you again!
Jen Masterson
A fantastic initiative, offering a very practical alternative way of showing how much you care, by way of a comprehensive list of gifts to chose from. The attention to my order was speedy, very sympathetic to circumstances and the care afforded to the personal wrapping and prompt delivery deserves acknowledgement of a first class, five star service indeed. I would most definitely recommend this company to all my friends.
