  In Floral Gifts , Jacky Hobbs shows how innovative containers can be put into use to create flower arrangements that are almost too good to give away. Give a keen cook a pestle and mortar planted up with culinary herbs, or a wine lover a bottle of his favourite vintage in a wine crate of vines and grapes. There are dozens of imaginative ideas for birthdays and other special occasions, such as Valentine's Day, Christmas and Mothers' Day. Professional flower arrangements can be expensive and impersonal, but these thoughtfully devised gifts have real personality. Packed with inspiring and affordable ideas for floral gifts that range from cutting-edge chic to soft and romantic. The arrangements look fabulous, and couldn't be easier to put together. The practical introduction gives the lowdown on choosing containers, treating stems and getting the proportions right.
