A little note in regards to flowers and flower orders December is always a little bit of frenzy and we would just like to ask our customers that if you want specific flower orders please allow a little more time for us to get them ready. Remember you can always order them on line in advance and then pop in to collect them. This allows us to schedule them in to the day Grace has been flying solo in the flower kitchen while I have been out of action and it is a big job. We are working full steam ahead to the 24th and are so grateful for all of our fabulous customers who have supported us right through the year and those who have just found us- “Welcome”! Don’t forget we have free parking for The Flower Crate customers down Lovegrove Lane 🅿️
Say hello to Junior, the latest addition to the Ironclad family. It’s the perfect little piece to prepare junior nibbles. Junior pies. Junior sauces. Junior - you get the idea! Each Junior arrives with its own mid-century inspired acacia serving board, as if you needed more reasons to buy one.

WRAPPING FOR A GOOD CAUSE This December we will be asking all our customers for a $2 donation to have their purchases beautifully wrapped in store. We wrap a lot of presents in December! So what better way to donate to an extremely worthy charity? This year we have chosen Kids in Need, Waikato “We make each child a special care pack that has been thoughtfully put together by our amazing volunteers. Each care pack is personalised to the child’s age, size and interests, with products donated by the local community. It’s about making a difficult time just a little bit easier.” We think that is the perfect group to help out this Christmas and we hope you support us in raising as much as we possibly can. Thank you, Alex

New to The Flower Crate & joining the delicate oyster shell from Corey Ashford - The Scallop Shell has been cast from a real Tasmanian shell. The Corey Ashford Scallop has been designed as both functional incense holder and sculptural weight. The shell’s interior has been hand-polished to a high shine and finished with an opening to delicately hold your incense stick. The shell has been selected for both its beauty and function, as its fluted shell will catch ash that may fall within its embrace. When turned over the piece showcases the natural formations of the shell to create a sculptural weight inspired by antiquity - ideal to hold splayed papers and open books.
