Mothers Day Present Ideas

Do you need some ideas for Mothers Day presents that aren’t all flowers? (ok I have added some edible flowers, but otherwise…). I love the plant with the nest because it’s so Spring.

Flowers for Mothers Day

I go for the classic when it comes to Mother’s Day – I buy my mom flowers. If you need some help, check out JustFlowers Mother’s Day collection. Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 10th, so about a month away. Make sure you order early because Mother’s Day is 2nd to Valentine’s Day in the florist business – expect it to be busy! I got my start in the florist business delivering flowers on Mothers Day. After that the florist offered me a job year-round and it turned out to be one of my favorite jobs ever (hence the site and blog).

Here are my recommendations for Mothers Day Flowers:

• Even though they’re gorgeous for Spring – avoid tulips. They fall apart too easily.
• Consider a potted Easter lily or other flowering plant so your mom can enjoy the flowers for weeks. Pansies are simple, hearty and beautiful – I planted one in a pot I bought at Walmart. It looks classy and is easy on the budget.
• Older moms might appreciate a wrist corsage – esp. if she goes to church. She’ll feel special and can show off her flowers to her friends.
• Lilies of all kinds are very hardy and I love them mixed with roses (not red but colored roses).
• My favorite is monochromatic flower mixes – so all white with touches of color – or all in a similar color scheme.

If you’re not getting flowers for your mom, what are you planning to get her? And don’t worry I won’t tell her!
