The hotel’s gift shop is the only place to purchase a BloemBox in the Lehigh Valley. (“Bloem” is the Dutch word for “flower.”) The colorful keepsake boxes are wrapped with a satin ribbon, adorned with silk flowers and include a ceramic container, a Holland Amaryllis bulb and all of the plant materials that needed to grow the amaryllis. The Amaryllis Gervase Bulb Kit made Oprah’s list as number 17 out of 60 items - http://www.oprah.com/gift/Amaryllis-Gervase-Bulb-Kit?editors_pick_id=46528. Other BloemBox options include an amaryllis, poppies, paper whites, habitat gardens and specialty gardens. http://www.bloembox.com
BloemBoxes can be purchased in the Shoppe at Hotel Bethlehem on the lower level from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. every day. The Shoppe at Hotel Bethlehem offers much more than the usual candy and newspapers offered in most hotel gift shops, and is filled with more unique treasures like the Bloem Box year round.
