B&M is a popular store for lots of reasons. Many love that they can pick up a selection of home essentials and DIY must-haves in the same place that sells kids’ toys, frozen treats, beauty products and more. But, even some of the most dedicated shoppers were unaware of the store’s particular service.
A simple question on Instagram opened up a whole new world of products that customers won’t find in stores. B&M posed a question to its Instagram followers, offering help for planning perfectionists or those scrambling at the last minute ahead of Valentine’s Day. It might come as a surprise to learn that the discount retailer, known for its vast array of constantly changing stock, also sells flowers.
But, they won’t be spotted anywhere in your local shop. Instead, customers can go online to order a beautiful bouquet delivered directly to their doorstep – with classic roses starting from £19.99 but cheaper options available from £15.99.
The Instagram announcement has been hailed as a game-changer for flower delivery, reports the Mirror. The post read: “Don’t let love be a long-distance thing this Valentine’s Day!
“With our delivery service, you can send the perfect bouquet straight to their door and you can add a little extra to their order, including Teddy Bears’, delicious chocolates, and candles!” For those looking to take advantage of the Valentine’s Day offer, there’s a special section on the website with deals that also feature classic gifts to go alongside your chosen bouquet.
Some arrangements can be bolstered into larger displays for an extra cost, meaning you can tailor your order to your specific budget. However, B&M’s flower service runs all year long, not just for Valentine’s, offering an affordable way to celebrate special moments or simply to indulge yourself.
Some items even come with next-day delivery, a lifesaver for the forgetful types or sudden surprise occasions. In the comments section of B&M’s post, customers were astounded by the little-known service.
One person commented: “I did not know this was a thing!” While another excitedly noted: “Great idea! Nudging the husband now!”
B&M’s Flower Service also offers a subscription for a mere £16 a month, allowing you to set up monthly deliveries of fresh flowers to add some cheer any day. You could do this for yourself or set it up as a gift for someone else.
The glowing online reviews are a testament to the quality of what arrives on your doorstep. One said: “Brilliant selection of flowers. Very pleased with free delivery.”
Another shared: “Wonderful choice of flowers, reasonable costs and delivered on your chosen date.” A third added: “After trawling through online sites for flowers, I always return to B&M. I have never been disappointed!” Someone else added: “I have sent all my flowers from here for my family and friends. They are so beautiful and arrive on time.”
