They were also able to arrange transport to and from hospital appointments and provide supportive and comforting conversations through their Support Line.

If you are unsure on how you should display your daffodils at home, do not fret, Aldi is sharing their top tips:

Tired of just sticking your flowers in a vase? Why not give these top tips a grow?

1. Jam jars – Forget the vase and try a simple row of jam jars, this creates a lovely uniform arrangement. Place them along a windowsill or down the middle of a table and you’re sure to impress your guests.
2. Twine – You could also bunch your daffodils together, wrap them with strips of brightly coloured twine and create a topiary like shape that will stand in a wide windowsill where you can enjoy them while you cook.
3. Everyday containers – Daffodils look casually comfortable when displayed in everyday items like glasses and measuring cups, these are perfect to dress up your kitchen table too.
4. Get crafty – Glue bark to empty tin cans and fill the containers with daffodils and place them on a tray of moss for an instant woodsy retreat.
