Bloom & Wild is sending books this Christmas – yes, really!
A combination made in heaven
Books and flowers are two gifts we love to receive. So, imagine our sheer delight at discovering one of our favourite online florists, Bloom and Wild, is launching book bundles this Christmas. Friends, if you’re reading this – yes, please!
The popular flower delivery service has steadily been adding to its roster of gifts over the past couple of years, making itself a one-stop shop for thoughtful pressies when you can’t be there in person. And this Christmas, it’s stepping things up a notch.
Firstly, more on the book bundles; there’s one for mums-to-be, one for classic bookworms, and one for someone in need of a real page turner. Ideal. Each also comes with a different selection of additional gifts – whether that’s a posy of dried flowers or some chocolate.
But those aren’t the brand's only festive additions. Other gifts we’re eyeing up include toiletry sets, foodie gifts and even one for the beer-lover in your life. There’s truly something for all your loved ones. So, sit back, scroll our favourite picks below and add your favourites to basket to spread some festive cheer.

What you need to know about Bloom & Wild
Every gift is thoughtfully packaged and should land, if not through your loved one’s letterbox, then on their doorstep. And delivery is free, which is even better.
But perhaps more importantly, the florist's gift offering is carefully curated to spotlight smaller brands and makers. This is in keeping with its overall ethos; the brand became a BCorp at the start of 2024 which means it’s certified as a company putting the environment and the people it works with at the heart of its business. Lovely gifts with a lovely message.
These are the presents we'll be sending this Christmas.
This one is for the aspiring florist in your life. The Illustrated Petal Book is a great coffee table pick – it’s filled with gorgeous illustrations and stories behind the flowers, making it one to leaf through time and time again. The gift also comes with a small dried posy, so they can always have some gorgeous flowers to display.
An un-put-down-able book and some yummy chocolates are the perfect pairing, and a great gift option for someone who likes to lose themself in a great read – the ideal way to spend Betwixmas, in our opinion.
Penguin’s clothbound classics make a gorgeous gift all on their own, but combine one with some Teapigs tea and chocolates and we’re struggling to think of anything lovelier to send a beloved bookworm this Christmas.
Not all gifts for expectant mums need to be for the baby, and this one is full of TLC. It includes a self-care book, Bramley pillow spray (that’s sure to smell divine) and a scented candle. A moment of calm in one perfect package.
Bramley products are the sort you’ll find at a fancy hotel, they smell that good. So, this would make a truly thoughtful gift for a friend who deserves some pampering. They’ll receive a hand wash, hand cream, body wash and body lotion, all packaged up in a truly adorable cottage-shaped box.
Frangipane-topped mince pies (from bougie bakery Biscuiteers, no less) and marshmallow hot chocolate sound like a match made in heaven. If you have a friend you think will appreciate this indulgent combination, add to basket immediately.
For those who like the finer things, this treat is a small slice of luxury. The wicker hamper is packed full of goodies, including a bottle of Moët, crackers, chutney, chocolate bark, champagne truffles, florentines and more. The best way to show someone you wish you were there.
What’s fun about this box full of beer is that the two bottles included (a session IPA and pale ale) are made from leftover loaves of bread by Toast Brewing.
No pint is complete without some bar snacks, either – and this one comes with the obligatory nuts (only this time they’re truffle flavoured!) and chilli rice crackers.
Candles are an essential part of Christmas, whether they’re lit to brighten a dark night or to fill your home with a festive scent. And this trio of joy features tailored winter fragrances.
There’s one for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day, so your lucky recipient can save them for the corresponding days or burn them down when they need a little pick-me-up. Either way, it’s a lovely gift.
