The bouquets are all stunning, but they also make up bouquets on request. Just tell them what you'd like in there, or give them some information on the occassion/recipient and they'll make up a beautiful display. They have a a knack for arranging flowers in a modern, fresh way which just lloks amazing. It is quite expensive, but I find the results are worth it as they look so much better than most of the other florists around and so unique.

It's in the chic, rather bohemian area of Jericho, so fits in nicely with the little cafes and grocers. In their own words, they specialise in natural, stylish and contemporary flowers. Quite how flowers can be contemporary, I don't really know, but they certainly manage it. They're used by lots of the Oxford colleges for conferences and posh dinners, by local restaurants, such as the Old Parsonage Hotel, and for weddings, funerals, celebrations and personal greetings. The basic gist is that you go in or phone to discuss your requirements and they'll talk over your options. They seem quite flexible and the flower arrangements I've seen have been magnificent and long-lasting. They come in baskets, vases, pots and all sorts, so don't limit your thoughts to the humble plastic-wrapped bouquet. You pay for what you get, of course, and bouquets to order start at around £25 and rapidly get more expensive. Delivery is £5 for Oxford and £8 for elsewhere.

This is another good place for presents for people, although it doesn't really scream 'Oxford', and it's probably best for people who appreciate unusual, decorative things. It's a great shop to drag friends who like that sort of thing into, although it's another thing trying to get them out again! The prices are generally quite reasonable, and the staff are friendly, even if it's crowded.
