Flowers with Vases Included: The 35% Choice for Workplace Deliveries

Why Flowers With Vases Make Better Gifts

Anna has been with us for over 15 years, started as a florist in our early days and still helps with product advice alongside her bookkeeping role. Her take on vase arrangements was practical and stuck with me. "Most people don't have a spare vase sitting around," she said. "They get gorgeous flowers at work or at the door, then they're rummaging through cupboards looking for something to put them in. Half the time they end up in a drinking glass or an old pickle jar."

That observation shaped this category. The vase becomes part of the gift. Your recipient arranges the flowers, enjoys them for the week or two they last, and months later they're putting fresh garden cuttings into that same vase. A customer in Toowoomba mentioned in her Feefo review that her mum still uses the glass vase we delivered three years ago for her 70th birthday. The flowers are long gone but the gift keeps giving.

Based on our order data, keepsake arrangements are requested 35% more often for workplace deliveries than standard bunches. Makes sense when you think about it. Nobody has a vase at their desk.

Our Most Popular Keepsake Arrangements

The Bright Bunch With Vase has over 320 customer reviews for good reason. At $99.95 it sits in a sweet spot, generous enough to make an impression, affordable enough for regular occasions. Anna reckons the colour mix is why it sells. "Florists have freedom with that one," she told me. "They can use what's freshest and brightest in the shop that morning rather than being locked into specific varieties. Fresh stems always look better than stems that have been waiting around for a specific order."

The Natives With Vase at $146.50 has developed a loyal following, 137 reviews at last count. Banksias, proteas, eucalyptus, gum nuts in season. They last significantly longer than traditional cut flowers because native stems are hardier by nature. "Overseas relatives request natives specifically," Anna mentioned. "It's flowers you literally cannot get anywhere else in the world." This one has become our fastest growing keepsake product, up noticeably year on year.

The Pastel Bunch With Vase lands nicely for sympathy occasions or when someone wants something softer. Pale roses, soft pinks, creams, touches of lavender. Anna's observation on pastels surprised me: "They photograph well. People take pictures to send thank you messages and the soft tones don't blow out the camera. Sounds minor but customers mention it."

For something elegant and understated, the 2 Lily Stems In Glass Vase at $60.50 does the job beautifully. Anna calls lilies "the slow burn flower" because the buds open over days. "You send two stems with four or five buds each, and the recipient watches them bloom one by one across a whole week. It extends the experience."

Quick guide if you're not sure: The Bright Bunch suits most occasions and budgets. Natives for something distinctly Australian or longer lasting. Pastels for sympathy or softer sentiments. Lilies for elegant simplicity.

When Keepsake Flowers Work Best

Hospital stays, new homes, workplaces, or anyone who might not have a suitable vase on hand. Anna pointed this out during a conversation about hospital deliveries. "Nurses are busy. They can't be finding containers for every bunch that arrives. These arrangements solve that problem completely, they arrive ready to display, no fussing required."

Sympathy flowers work well from this collection too. The vase becomes a gentle, ongoing reminder of support during a difficult time. And for recipients you don't know well, a work colleague or your daughter's teacher, the keepsake arrangement removes guesswork about whether they have three vases already.

Caring For Your Keepsake Flowers

Anna suggests changing the water every two to three days and trimming stems at an angle each time. "That fresh cut opens up the water channels again," she explained. "You can extend vase life by four or five days just with basic care." Keep arrangements away from direct sunlight and fruit bowls. Ripening fruit releases ethylene gas that ages flowers faster.

Same Day Delivery

All keepsake arrangements are available for same day delivery when you order before 2pm weekdays or 10am Saturdays. Our partner florists stock the vases, assemble fresh on the day, and local couriers handle delivery.
