Purchasing flowers for the home isn't something that commonly occurs to many people. Daily budgets and savings often take priority ahead of purchases, such as flowers, that may be considered unnecessary.

However, the effect a well-placed vase of flowers can have on an environment should not be undervalued.

Flowers will instantly enhance any area in which they are placed. A vase of flowers will add a bloom of colour to an otherwise dreary corner of the room, and many flowers will perfume the air with glorious scent for weeks.

When entertaining, or for special occasions, it is ideal to have flowers decorating your house. However, buying a beautiful bouquet of flowers for the home 'just because' can elevate the mundane to marvellous. According to behavioural research conducted at Rutgers (the State University of New Jersey), the presence of flowers triggers happy emotions, heightens feelings of life satisfaction and affects social behaviour in a positive manner.

With spring on the way, there is a wider variety of flowers and gift baskets available at accessible prices. This means that buying flowers for the home is something everyone can afford to consider.

Hamperbiz, one of Auckland's best online retailers of gift hampers and bouquets, encourages customers to think of themselves when browsing for flowers and gifts online.

"Many of our customers regularly purchase flowers for others, and some even have standing corporate orders," says Judy McGrath, owner of Hamperbiz. "We love to send on their behalf, but we often hear comments from them like 'I've never been sent flowers', or 'I wish I was receiving these.' To such customers I will always say: let us send you flowers!"

Judy and her creative team of florists are eager to prepare bouquets for regular customers. "I love designing bouquets for people who contact us and make personal orders," says florist Theresa Arnstrom. "Customers call to talk to me about the room they'd like to put the flowers in, the colours they would like, memories of favourite flowers, and I get such a kick out of tailoring something especially for their needs"

Hamperbiz offers free delivery of flowers, hampers and gift baskets throughout New Zealand, meaning that a beautiful bouquet of flowers is just a phone call away.

Don't forget your own needs - this spring, indulge yourself with a gorgeous bouquet of fresh flowers from Hamperbiz.
