13 February 2018

There’s only one more sleep to go until the most romantic day of the year, so if you’re still struggling for ideas or if you’ve simply forgotten (naughty!) then fret no more because Female First is here to help! We know that nailing the perfect gift for your other half isn’t always an easy task, so we’ve identified the perfect gift for him and her that won’t have you out of pocket this Valentine’s Day…

Valentine's Day on Female First

…Introducing Gift Rebellion’s range of delicious chocolate blooms. Yes, that’s right, bouquets that are good enough to eat! But if you’re still not convinced and gearing towards the bog standard last-minute gifts, we’ve pulled together five reasons why an edible bloom is the best present this year.

Classic Twist

It’s no denying that flowers, chocolate and champagne, make a pretty good gift, but taking the ordinary and making it extraordinary, the brand has masterfully combined the three into one. Top of the price range is the brand’s Magnum Moët Chocolate Bouquet which features delectable heart shaped chocolate pieces and a 1.5l bottle of Moët & Chandon. But if champagne doesn’t tickle your taste buds, there are also edible blooms teamed with bottles of beer, gin and scotch.

Easy Feat

There’s nothing quite like a loved-one gifting you with flowers, but after the initial admiration comes the hard work. From snipping stems to remembering to water the blooms, it can easily become quite the task and when you forget to change the water the dreaded mould that occurs is enough to put you off flowers for life. But with an edible bouquet, the only task is unwrapping and eating the delicious chocolate pieces. Also, the lifespan of tasty edible blooms is much longer but that of course depends on just how big a chocolate-lover your other half is!

Sweet Love

Now for the science! Some, well those with IQs above average, may know that there are over 300 naturally-occurring chemicals in chocolates – many of which play on the love-strings of the brain by releasing neurotransmitters. One such is phenethylamine, also known as “the love drug”, and this particular neurotransmitter causes excitement, quickens the pulse rate, and makes you happy. So, in summary it’s scientifically proven that chocolate can makes people happier.

Save A Pretty Penny

It’s no secret that the perfect arrangement of flowers will cost you a pretty penny. But with edible bouquets there’s something to fit every budget. Not only are there mouth-watering treats cost-effective, you can also rest in the fact that you can send one to your Valentine with just the click of the mouse and have it delivered on the same day as purchase.

Ditch The Norm

While there’s no disagreement that flowers are beautiful, something can be said about them losing their wow-factor over the years and especially after 7 days when petals start dropping. Here to signal the end of boring blooms, variety is at the forefront of the fabulously fresh products handcrafted by Gift Rebellion. Offering something for everyone, the yummy bouquets come in all shapes and sizes, and can also be personalised for that added kapow!
