Whilst I do love
birthdays and Christmas for gift giving, I am a big believer in
showing thanks and love to people throughout the year. Showing
someone gratitude, kindness and love is a lovely gesture and whether
it is through gifts or kind actions being kind, thankful and loving
is in my opinion a beautiful way to live your life.
Not only does the act of
being kind and loving to family, friends and strangers who have
touched your life make the recipient of the random act of kindness
feel happy and appreciated but showing you care and are thankful also
makes you feel happy and good too.
In the busy world we
live in it can be easy to overlook showing gratitude or forget to
make the effort to show loved ones and strangers we care. Whilst I do
like to show my thanks and love to others on a regular basis through
kind actions (helping, complimenting and supporting) and small
surprise gifts or treats, I do welcome any excuse to show kindness
and gratitude to others.
So when Tesco Flowers
recently got in touch with me about their exciting Random Acts of
Kindness campaign I just knew this was a campaign I had to get
involved with.
As part of the campaign
they are helping me treat a person of my choosing to a lovely bunch
of flowers from their range of flowers.

Whilst there are many
people who have touched our lives that are deserving of being thanked
with flowers there are 2 special women in our lives that I always
love to treat as a special way of showing our love and gratitude –
the boys' Nana (Lee's mum) and Mamgu (my mum).
A blossoming bloom of
flowers for Nana
As Lee's family live
over 200 miles away it is very rare that the boys get to see their
Nana in person rather than seeing her virtually or hearing her on the
phone, in fact she has yet to meet or hold Jelly Bean! In spite of
the distance between them she adores her grandsons and makes a
special effort to keep in touch very regularly and spoils them with
treats, gifts and money. Not only is she a fantastic Nana she is a
fabulous mum to Lee and even though it meant not seeing him often she
fully supported and encouraged him to move miles away to start a life
and family with me.
Sending gifts and
flowers to Nana is a way for us to make the distance between us seem
less and to show her that we are always thinking of her and love her
dearly.
As she loves roses I
would send her a Rainbow Roses bouquet with love from us all. The
vibrant and summery bunch of roses featuring 25 beautiful stems of
red, cerise, white, yellow and orange is sure to put a smile on her
face and brighten up her day.

A beautiful bouquet of
flowers for Mamgu
My mum means the world
to me. She is always there for us. Not only is she an amazing mum who
gave me a fantastic childhood and now is my best friend, she is also
the best Mamgu (grandmother) I could have ever wished for for my
children.
As Mamgu does so much
for us I love any opportunity I get to show her we are thankfully and
love her with all of our hearts and what better way to do it than a
beautiful bouquet of flowers.
With a love of purple
and rustic flowers I would love to surprise her with a Scented Stocks
Jug from Tesco Flowers as the beautifully arranged hand-tied bouquet
of scented flowers in the quaint zinc jug is would be a lovely token
of our love.
