Softly, softly | Long lasting cotton arrangement
Softly, softly | Long lasting cotton arrangement
Softly, sotfly. Send cotton puffs with fresh smelling gum. This sweet and simple arrangement will last the recipient as long as they keep it! The cotton comes dried, while the fresh gum dries beautifully - this arrangement will continue to look as good as they day it arrives.
This is a minimal yet impactful arrangement that is "something different" but beautiful all the same. Cotton is particularly eye-catching in a large vase and displayed in the home. No need to put water if you would like the gum to dry out and last a long time.
This arrangement contains 3 large cotton stems surrounded by fresh green gum.
The bouquet is available for next day delivery across Melbourne. Our beautiful wrapping is sustainably sourced and uses no plastic. Click here to find out more about the components of our wrapping which can be fully diverted away from landfill.
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

What happens if the recipient isn't there when you deliver?
Residential Addresses
If the recipient is not home, our courier will use sensible discretion to find a safe place to leave the flowers. You will receive a text message with an image of the delivered flowers if a contact number has been provided. If there is no safe place to leave the flowers, we will attempt to contact you or the recipient for further instructions. Should redelivery or redirection be necessary, a redelivery fee equivalent to the standard delivery charge for the suburb may apply. We will confirm this with you beforehand.
Business/Hospital Addresses
At business or hospital addresses, our courier will leave the flowers with reception, the mailroom, or a co-worker, if accepted and unless specific delivery instructions are provided. If it is determined that the recipient won't return or be at the delivery location that day, we'll attempt to contact you to arrange an alternative solution. If redelivery or redirection is necessary, a redelivery fee equal to the standard delivery charge for the suburb may apply.

We are committed to continuing this practice while exploring additional ways to achieve a net positive impact.
Moreover, we use only seasonal flowers and package our deliveries in materials that can be diverted from landfills. Our add-on gifts support other Australian businesses, further promoting sustainability within the community.

Sustainable Packaging and Disposal
Sustainable Packaging and Disposal
Receiving flowers is always a delight, and part of that joy comes from the beautiful and aesthetically pleasing packaging. However, it can be a struggle figuring out how to dispose of all the packaging in the most sustainable way possible, with so many options like recycling, general waste, and composting.
Here at Bituin, we've made it easy for you. We've created a simple guide on how to responsibly dispose of each component of our flower packaging. The best part? Every Bituin wrapping item is plastic-free, and we're committed to keeping them out of landfills. This is a crucial part of our efforts to make a positive impact on sustainability and our community across Melbourne.
We've categorised how to dispose of each component based on the bins you can place them in. Additionally, we've included information about our environmentally friendly sourcing practices. Please note that this guide is general in nature, and there may be specific instructions or requirements from your local council.
You or the recipient won’t need to memorise this information – we always include an abbreviated version of these instructions on tags made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper.
