Nothing lifts the spirits quite like fresh flowers, but in these challenging times the fake variety – if you invest in decent artificial designs – offer longevity and lift the look of a room.

Harriet's House (01-2884822) at Blackrock Shopping Centre, Co Dublin, has just taken a delivery of rather wonderful triple-stem phalaenopsis orchids, which come in either a bone white or anthracite grey ceramic bowl. They are available in four colours: white, green, pink or red and usually cost €69.

Harriet's House is offering Bargain Hunter readers who buy these, or any of the rest of the wide range of artificial flowers, 30 per cent off. This offer ends Monday, April 30th.
