Choosing a birthday gift can be tricky, but one family-run online florist has earned national recognition after customers voted it the UK's favourite family business.
If you've got birthdays coming up over the next few months, planning ahead can take some of the stress out of finding the right gift. Whether you're celebrating a close family member, a friend or a colleague, flowers remain a thoughtful way to mark the occasion, especially when you can't be there in person.
For anyone looking for a florist they can trust, family-run online florist Bunches has just picked up a major accolade after being voted the UK's favourite family business by customers.
The company was recognised at the National Family Business of the Year Awards 2026, taking home both the Midlands & Central People's Choice Family Business of the Year award and the National People's Choice Family Business of the Year title.
Organised by Family Business United, the awards celebrate family-run businesses across the UK that make a positive impact on their customers, communities and the wider economy. The People's Choice categories are decided entirely by public vote, meaning it was customers who chose Bunches as the winner.
The recognition comes after 37 years of helping people celebrate life's milestones with flowers and gifts. From birthdays and anniversaries to new arrivals and thank you gestures, the family-run business has built its reputation on making meaningful moments feel that little bit more special.
Alongside the award win, Bunches says it has a 4.7-star rating based on more than 200,000 customer reviews, while its customer support team is rated 4.9 out of 5 stars. Those figures may offer added reassurance for anyone ordering flowers online for an important occasion.
For shoppers who like to get organised before birthdays arrive, choosing a florist with a long track record and recognition from its own customers can provide extra confidence. Whether you're sending a colourful bouquet to brighten someone's day or marking a milestone from afar, planning ahead means one less thing to think about when the celebrations begin.
