If you want a card or some wrapping paper in Formby this place is a no brainer. Why then do I…read morealways seem to try everywhere else in the village before plumping for here. The reason, I think, is twofold. One - inevitably there is someone I don't want to see browsing the aisles in here, someone I went to school with and can't be bothered to try and make interested small talk with ("oh, so you graduated and now you're just looking for a job but there don't really seem to be any around") The second and infinitely less anti-social of the reasons is that it always feels a bit cluttered in here - like there are a lot of cards bearing down on you. It sounds ridiculous but when it comes to picking out greeting cards I would probably have less choice, if there is too much I will panic and pick out a condolence card for a three year-olds birthday or something. This is of course an issue entirely of my own making and thus should be ignored - Derbyshire's really is the ideal place to get a card for any and every occasion. They also offer watch repairs (although a friend of mine who can barely tell the time himself once got a job doing this so I might have to query just how good this service can be). Oh and tea towels with Formby sights and scenery on them, which are make very nice presents.

Whilst Derbyshires is primarily a card/small gift/stationary/watch repair/flower shop (how many…read moreplaces in Formby village are that wide ranging), most of the time when I go in there I just end up heading to the back of the shop and playing with the collection of small toys they sell that are barely appropriate for people half my age to play with, let alone me. That section serves as a slice of nostalgia, harking back to a simpler time in my youth when I would visit the now departed Delahunty's, the true king of children's toys and bikes. However, whenever I go in there with the intention of actually buying something, I mainly use it to buy cards, of which there is an extensive collection. It is also handy when approaching an occasion such as Valentine's Day if you have no idea what to get your better half, offering a selection of chocolates and teddies if you are desperate enough. The watch repair counter is useful, but having barely owned a watch let alone a faulty one, I have not had the pleasure of using such a service.

Now you don't have to worry about your bouquet dripping all over you because these flowers are neatly packaged with no extra effort needed on your behalf. I've received praise and compliments from boyfriends' mothers, for example, when turning up with one of these boxes (and occasionally a bottle of wine to sweeten the deal), and it always softens the blow of meeting the parents for the first time - especially if the mother then scolds the boyfriend for never bringing her flowers! Yeah, that relationship didn't last very long.... Anyway, back to the flowers. As you can see from the pictures, not just flowers but small trees and bushes. And if you don't want to splash out on a flower box (around £15) you can opt for picking out a few singular stems and have them wrapped up all lovely like!

Fantastic flower shop and staff really friendly…read more I can see why Bromborough Flowers have been winning awards and are rated amongst the best on the Wirral. Lovely selection of flowers and low prices, and arrangements in store which were stunning. The business was recommended to me as a wedding florist by several of my friends, and they didn't disappoint, Pauline & Andrea were amazing throughout!! I booked a wedding consultation initially with Pauline for my wedding flowers and to share some ideas, she made me feel so relaxed and definately took the stress out of the process, offering fantastic and well informed expert advice. I never once felt pressured, sadly the same could not be said for some of the other florists with whom I had consulted with. After finally agreeing on my flowers and various things, I was kept in touch with throughout the process which certainly helped ease the nerves and worry. The 'big day' arrived and my flowers were presented to me at the hotel and as promised, the venue was fully dressed - I never once had any concerns, and the flowers just were simply stunning so much so it brought me to tears; the fact I had so many comments about them during the day confirmed that I had made the right decision in going to Bromborough Flowers. The biggest surprise (or maybe it wasnt given what I had been told by friends who have been here before), was simply the price... I had to ask Pauline to recheck a couple of times as it was massively cheaper than the other florists who quoted me in the area. Highly recommended in the highest possible way and I would not go anywhere else now!

I recently needed to order flowers for a relative who was very ill and hospitalized in Blackpool…read more I live in California so was somewhat at a disadvantage in that I had to rely on the internet to find a florist. After much research, I settled on Ann Barnes Florist because the shop was voted as one of the top 3 in Blackpool and they received numerous good ratings online. I made the right choice. Ann checked with the hospital to ensure they would accept flowers before she charged me - I found this to be so kind - after all, she was not obliged to do so - could have attempted delivery and charged me whether they were accepted or not. This is definitely the type of service that is fast disappearing. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and I was told they were "the best on the ward" and cheered up patients and staff alike. I highly recommend Ann Barnes Florist for their excellent customer service and beautiful flower arrangements. Margaret Marshall Los Angeles, CA

They've been around a good few years now and can pretty much knock together anything that you want, from wreaths and bouquets to small arrangement s and designs.
