Death to Flowers! Why send floral tributes when you can send inflatable flamingo drinks holders?

Hayfever! Fear of your own mortality! A lack of vases! Oh my!

This is both the first draft for Dorothy’s Lions and Tigers and Bears Wizard of Oz ditty, and a list of great reasons why you might not want to send a dear friend some flowers.

But what’s the alternative?

Luckily, Death to Flowers has leapt into action to rescue you from sending Amazon parcels that arrive with those tell tale receipts in.

Brought to you by one-time web celeb turned entrepreneur and extremely slack contributor to Dork Adore, Susi Weaser, Death to Flowers lets you send a box packed full of original treats for your friend or loved one. All for just £15.

Update: We now have TWO BOXES to give away!

Theme your Box

Themed around love, congratulations, sympathy and gratitude, each box includes such delights as a fortune cookie with a bon mot from a Cool Pop Lady (“Players gonna play, play, play, play, play” – Taylor Swift), an emoji temporary tattoo, a vintage cigarette card, and more.

There’s also a gift designed to evoke its box’s theme – including a music box that plays “Congratulations” and an inflatable flamingo drinks holder. Who wouldn’t be cheered up upon receiving an inflatable flamingo drinks holder?

Because Susi hasn’t sent us any articles for FOUR YEARS, we’ve made her give us a discount.

For a limited time, if you use the code BOWIE at checkout, you’ll get £1 off your order.
