The staff are friendly and approachable and will offer you assistance if, like me, you are fairly useless when it comes to selecting the right flowers for the occasion. I'm not sure if this is related to the shop with the same name in Kings Heath, but this is a slightly superior outlet to the one on Silver Street in B14. They are also online, so you can view some of their arrangements and look at prices for deliveries and such before you go over to Cotteridge to take a look.

This is yet another wonderful little florist. I have been in a couple of times before and I have…read morealways left feeling pleased. The staff are really friendly and very helpful and have always advised my accordingly when I have been in and been indecisive as to what I want. The shop itself is fairly roomy inside and they have a lovely selection of flowers on display. It always looks really pretty and yet organised inside. They cater for events such as parties, weddings and funerals as you would expect and they can also arrange gift bouquets for you. They are also online, which is handy if you want to have a look at what they offer before you decide to go in. I would definitely recommend this place as they have wonderful flowers and good customer service.

I have popped in here a couple of times to buy bouquets as gifts for friends and family and have never been disappointed. The lady who served me on both occasions was lovely and able to put together some beautiful bouquets for me. They really have a brilliant range of flowers inside. They also cater for various events and occasions, as expected from any florists. The prices are fairly expensive, but to be honest it is not the most expensive florist that I have been into in Birmingham. I will definitely be back again if I am in the Kings Norton area and I need any flowers. The service is brilliant and I like the range of flowers that they have both inside and outside the shop.

I was so embarrassed when my aunty text (21/8/2013) me asking me if I had got them out the bin. I only came to this florist as it was on the way and they used to be one of the best florists. With a very good reputation for the best flowers.

This is such a sweet little florist, I have been in here a couple of times with a friend that lives…read morein Bournville to either buy a bouquet or just to have a look around. They have many varieties of flowers that are suitable for all occasions, from weddings to funerals. I really like the basket arrangements that they have as they make superb gifts for loved ones. It is not huge inside, but on sunny days they make a lovely display of flowers in buckets outside the shop, in fact that is what enticed me in when I first made a visit. I think that the staff are very friendly and professional and I have found them easy to talk to. The whole place has a nice relaxing atmosphere and of course, it smells wonderful inside. I would recommend having a look in here if you need a florist, or if you want to buy some flowers for yourself or a friend.

You are hard pushed to find a shop with a tacky storefront in Bournville, and Daffodilly's won't…read morehelp you there either. The rustic style of this charming flower shop - with a facade of wood, striped canopy and flower pots outside - fits perfectly with the style of Bournville. The store has a wide variety of flowers and arrangements and the flowers are always beautiful and well cared for. They are not cheap, but fit's definitely worth checking out if you are in the neighbourhood.

Whenever I'm in Cotteridge I have to pop into Savers on Watford Road to see what bargains they have…read moreon offer. They specialise in health and beauty products at rock bottom prices, usually because the items they sell are last seasons colour or discontinued items. I'm not an icon of fashion so couldn't really care less about what season I'm in when it comes to lipstick or mascara, so the bargains to be had are absolutely amazing. The stock changes so regularly that I couldn't possibly tell you what you might find in this branch on any particular day. Whenever I visit I stock up on shower gels, bubble bath, body spray and the occasional household product - when my beauty products allow me to, of course! What I love about Savers is the fact that the prices of things are so great, a bottle of Charles Worthington shampoo recently cost me just £1 whereas the same bottle (in this years 'shade') costs almost a fiver in Boots. You can buy Impulse body spray for 79p in this shop too, granted they are scents which disappeared from the shelves some six months ago but who really cares about that when you're saving such a lot of money. Another brilliant buy in here is the Montagne Jeunesse facial treatments which are 99p in the supermarkets but are sometimes as cheap as 29p in Savers! Just before Christmas I stocked up on loads of top name gift sets in Savers and gave them out as Christmas pressies, also having enough over for my daughters' to hand out to select friends. The sets were only £2 - £3 each and when I checked in Boots very similar sets were going for almost a tenner The only thing I dislike about Savers is the general condition of the store. It never really looks clean to me and the shelving units are old and in disrepair, even appearing rusty in places. It needs a refit desperately, but if it means them putting their prices up then I hope they just leave it as it is!
