With the impacts of Covid-19 already being felt, Bedminster’s independents are asking you to #shoploal and help us support them through these uncertain times!
Mother’s Day is coming up on Sunday and with many of our loved ones staying at home, it’s a great time to send a card or a gift. We’ve rounded up a list of incredible gifts that can be ordered online or over the phone and delivered via post, the shop’s own delivery service or picked up in-store, minimising face to face contact and keeping everybody safe.
Here we go!
Flowers
The streets are looking colourful, and you can add a touch of colour to your house this weekend! With shelves and shopfronts lined with bright, vibrant tulips, lilies, daffodils, roses and more - you can find the perfect Mother’s Day bunch at Ivory Flowers, Hugos Greengrocers or East Street Fruit Market!
