The bouquets that are good enough to eat

Our lives were about to get a whole lot sweeter when we trialled one of the delicious – and beautiful – edible bouquets by Gift Rebellion.

Following huge success in their homeland of Australia, founders Kelly Jamieson and Abbey Baker recently launched their unique handmade posies in the UK. But these aren’t your average blooms: edible and drinkable, Gift Rebellion’s arrangements create the “wow” factor. So, if you are attracted to the sentiment of flowers but the thought of gooey truffles makes you go weak at the knees, you’re in luck!

With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, we opted for the fitting Heart Posy bouquet. This striking design features red heart-shaped chocolates, surrounded by green foliage, and wrapped in tissue paper that is fastened with a bow. Not only does this piece make a bold statement, but it also tastes divine thanks to quality Belgian chocolates by Chocolatier. Each display is available in three sizes, starting at just £20, and includes a message for that personal touch.

Since Gift Rebellion’s creations are meticulously crafted from paper, what you see is exactly what you get. Say goodbye to feeling underwhelmed, following a disappointing online purchase of fresh flowers, and rest assured there is no chance of rapid wilting after delivery; these bouquets will last as long as you can resist temptation!

Their website promotes a multitude of options, with colours ranging from pretty pastels to vibrant hues, and complementary products to suit any occasion. These bouquets aren’t just aimed at women; there is a dedicated section for men, which includes a particularly appealing Corona and Ferrero Rocher combination.

Whether you wish to surprise your other half, make a gesture of thanks or boost a celebration, an offering from Gift Rebellion is bound to be appreciated. We would like to think the item chosen will outlast a bunch of flowers but that, of course, is entirely dependent on willpower!
