Purple orchid bouquet
Orchids last far longer than roses, so the gesture stays on the table for a week or more.
Women's Day gifts
Women's Day, on 8 March, is a chance to appreciate the women who keep your office, home and friendships going. Keep gifts light and genuine: plants, flowers, journals, candles or a self-care hamper all work well.
