Remember this blog? I had to share a picture of what eventually emerged from the box I gave one friend for Christmas.
How spectacular is this?
Might be time to revisit BloemBox if you have spring birthdays or other celebrations.
Here are a few favorites I found on their site:

One of my top picks was from The Bloembox Collection.
In their own words,
In May 2005, BloemBox shipped their first gift assortment to fine stores in the US, Canada and Europe. The hand-wrapped paper boxes are adorned with hand-crafted silk flowers made to look like the real garden flowers. Each box is carefully filled and then tied with a lustrous satin ribbon and gift tag with a poetic reference to the flower. BloemBox gifts contain the finest bulbs, certified organic lavender florets, organic rose petals and premium seeds distributed between biodegradable tissue paper for effortless planting. The paper boxes are printed in soy-based ink. All gifts are handcrafted and assembled in the BloemBox seedhouse in rural Northern California.
Each year, the bulbs are sampled, potted and forced into bloom for quality assurance. The lavender florets and rose petals are harvested from fresh crops, and the flower seeds are field tested in an extensive trial garden.
BloemBox brings a new approach to gift giving. These gifts are handcrafted with superior quality and are really two gifts in one: a colorful keepsake box for saving found treasures and a delightful reminder of that special day or event. The bulbs/seeds grow into a beautiful garden of blooms and the sachet releases a heady fragrance for years to come. Personalized tags are available adding that special touch to gift giving.
