I asked for funeral flowers to be made in the arrangement of a John Smith's beer can, for same week delivery. Clint did not disappoint at all! Very professional, very courteous, and extremely accommodating. I advise all to contact Blooming Bears for any occasion you may need flowers.

They always have a number of ready made bouquets and arrangements, but they are also very happy to make you something special there and then. They do take orders, in person, and on the telephone for flowers and balloons - although I dont think that they deliver. They do also do wedding flowers, although I have only seen their photos, so I can't vouch for them personally. The staff are really nice, even if you go in and ask for a bouquet first thing in the morning! Around Christmas/Valentines/Mothers Day, they always have special planters or ornamental pots for presents. There is a communal car park for the shops in Glenville Parade, but it does get quite busy at times. Petals do accept credit cards too. They also have a selection of helium balloons, so you can add a balloon to your floral display if you want!!

The best thing for me is that they have Yankee Candles in their selection. The best aroma candles I ever came across. They also have now all the christmas items in, which is great and you'll be spoilt for choice. Prices are reasonable and occasional offers are not to be missed.

We used Scentiments for our wedding flowers in January of this year. We found their service to be…read morefantastic. I am completely clueless when it comes to flowers and with a recent house move and a wedding to organise I really did not have the time to put much thought into it. I nervously entered the shop with my very basic ideas and thoughts and was greeted enthusiastically by the ladies at Scentiments who immediately put me at ease and understood exactly what I was looking for. They made it exciting rather than overwhelming and talked me through some ideas and showed me pictures of previous weddings they had done. They had worked at my venue Winkworth Farm, numerous times previously and were very knowledgeable and confident with what they could provide. They also had a good relationship with some of my other wedding services in the town such as Hayley at Capellli Hair and were able to liaise with her on my behalf. On my wedding weekend it absolutely bucketed it down with snow and on the Friday we were seriously considering calling the whole thing off as we assumed that none of the suppliers would be able to reach the venue. We received an immensely reassuring call from Winkworth to say that all the suppliers including Scentiments had been in touch with each other, they were leaving early on the Saturday, sharing lifts and doing everything in their power to make sure our special day went ahead. We cannot thank them enough for the effort they went to on this morning. The flowers were absolutely beautiful and so much more than I ever expected or imagined. From the stunning winter themed berry bouquets to the decorated wreath in the ceremony room and the gorgeous table flowers, everything was perfect. Even the carefully selected and subtle berries, roses and sparkles to go into my hair were spot on. We could not have been happier. We gave away our bottles and flowers to guests as they were leaving and they have reported that a week on they were still enjoying them in their homes. Thank you Scentiments for making this element of our wedding, easy, relaxed and very special.

Listen very carefully: this absolute gem is so much more than a garden centre. Oh, sure, "garden"…read moreis in the title. And they definitely have you covered there. But this place is practically a day out in and of itself. Looking to find a new furry friend or expand your tropical aquarium dreams? Come and say hi to the bunnies, guineas, budgies, tiny turtles, and myriad gorgeous rare and curious fish. Crabs? Oh, sure. Those too. #NBD. How about a whole new wardrobe, shoe collection, and walking gear? Yep -- check out the extensive and incredible selection of leather shoes, Edinburgh Woollen Mill range, and even furry hats. Whilst you're at it, feel free to pick up some of the most delectably scented candles, diffusers, and incense known to woman (and man) kind. Oh, sorry -- you just wanted to feed the ducks and grabbing a delicious Sunday lunch? I think I just found THE best carvery right here. Warning: the locals know about this hidden gem. It gets PACKED! But it's worth it. I don't think I've ever enjoyed queuing with a tray so much -- that roast dinner was incredible. Yep, even the potatoes were the business. And cauli cheese! And honeyed carrots! P.s. uber props to the amazing carver man. He was so nice. Essentially, I want to live here it's so amazing. Final boon: they have a massive plastic gorilla you can sit on. WHUT? For real.

I have a slight addiction to wondering around Garden centres even though I haven't actually got a…read moregarden and so I paid a visit here just to satisfy my craving. I also love Yankee candles and I have now discovered I can combine these two things when I come here. A very nice place with lots of non garden things to buy as well as the usual spades and plant pots. A very good range of Yankee candles (Mr Datcat was not happy about this, but never mind eh) and on the left past the tills they have a range of foodstuffs including yummy cakes. We didn't go to the coffee shop though, but a quick smell and look over did tempt us, but we held out today. Next time though we might have to give in to the lure of coffee. Plenty of friendly staff around and on the tills. Parking is a plentiful so this place is recommended.

This is the place to go in Bristol if you're planning or going to a fancy dress party - or indeed…read morejust about any party. It's easy to miss because it's not particularly striking and it's located on the busy A38, so if you aren't specifically looking for it you'd probably drive straight past. Once you're inside, however, it's a different story. It's stocked just about floor to ceiling with wrapping paper, pretty ribbons, party streamers, table displays, balloons, gift boxes, and cards and cake decorations for every occasion. Whether you're after birthday surprise banners, congratulations cards, or Easter chicks, you'll find it here. They also stock some excellent accessories for the Stag and Hen party markets - including a range of cheeky items to surprise the bride-to-be. But perhaps most exciting are the fantastic party costumes, whether you're looking for a complete Halloween outfit, or just some amusing accessories such as fake moustaches or wigs. Whether you want to dress up as a Mexican or a Medieval lady, a French maid or a Flower-power hippy, they've got it all - including a few saucy costumes, too. It's a while since I've been to Flingers, but when I did visit it was good fun, well-stocked and run by friendly staff.

The shop is a bit bigger than you think, but still small and because they have such a lot of stuff you may need to be a bit careful with any bags and I think pushchair/wheel chair users would really struggle. Anyone who makes jams, chutneys or things like that will be very happy as they carry a range of kilner jars and bottles including the replacement seals. The people behind the counter have always been very helpful with any questions that I've had and are to be commended. Parking is available on the street at meters.
