The best faux flowers to gift this Christmas

We do love a beautiful bunch of flowers – nothing nicer than a ring on the door and a stunning bouquet being handed over.  But the thing about fresh flowers is that they never last very long.  Even if you get a beautiful arrangement by a talented florist, they are frequently gone over within a week which is not only disappointing, but also an extremely expensive way to keep flowers in your home all year round.

Faux flowers used to be an embarrassingly fake and plastic but more recently, they are so beautifully made that it’s hard to tell the difference between them and the real thing.

This year, if you’d like to give a gift that will last into 2021, these centre pieces from The Irish Country Home made an extremely thoughtful gift.

A vibrant fuchsia palette that works effortlessly for Christmas time and throughout the year. This faux flower bouquet features hydrangeas, and roses and are presented in a classic silver hurricane vase. This piece makes the most wonderful centre piece for any home event. (Height: 35cm)

Timeless Beauty €135
