When it comes to a special occasion, the pressure to find the perfect gift is real
Whether it’s flowers, desserts or a little of both, talabat has curated an easy-to-shop collection from some of the UAE’s best-loved homegrown brands, each bringing its own take on romance, celebration and sweet gestures. Here’s how three brands, BloomingBox, Ferns N Petals and Sugarmoo, are helping make a special day feel more personal and less last-minute.

What began as a passion project in 2018 has grown into one of the UAE’s most recognisable gifting platforms. BloomingBox was built on the belief that the online gifting experience could be reimagined, with more attention to presentation and personal meaning.
Their sleek black box filled with bold red roses remains a customer favourite. Also popular are their hamper offerings, which combine their signature blooms with premium products like jewellery from Damas. Their bundle sets have also taken off, offering a ready-made gift solution that includes a flower box, cake and balloons.

What began as a modest roadside florist has evolved into one of the world’s largest gifting brands. Ferns N Petals (SMP) now has over 400 retail outlets across 100 cities in India, and has expanded into several international markets, including the UAE, where they operate across every emirate.
Its range includes over 100 product assortments, but the classic bouquet of 12 red roses continues to be a best-seller. What sets Ferns N Petals apart is its commitment to personalisation at scale. Whether it’s a bouquet paired with a mug printed with a photo or another customised gift, they can deliver it all within 60 minutes.

Dubai-born Sugarmoo has been redefining desserts since 2014. As early adopters of the cloud kitchen model, they made it possible to deliver freshly baked creations to customers in just 90 minutes. Among this year’s top picks are Smash the Past, a breakable chocolate shell with 14 truffles inside; Cupcakes Crush, a box of cupcakes topped with cheeky, flirtatious phrases; and Choose a Treat, a mini cake made for two, perfect for an intimate celebration.
Whether you’re surprising someone special or treating yourself (because why not), talabat makes it easier than ever to send meaningful gifts on time. With thoughtful flowers, inventive desserts and perfectly curated bundles from BloomingBox, Ferns N Petals and Sugarmoo, everything you need is just a few taps away.
